Which one is for you?
Let’s break it down.
All of them use the same 120Hz AMOLED panel tech, at the same “Quad HD+” resolution.
That’s between standard 1080p and 4K, stretched out a bit for the new standard of taller screens.
They’re all big phones, but obviously you’ll want to know the relative sizes.
The S20 is 151.7mm tall, a hair under six inches.
The S20+ is 161.9, the Ultra is 166.9.
So it’s about the difference between the width of an adult’s finger from the smallest to largest.

Here are all of them, compared to a Coke can.
Best Buy and carrier stores should have demo models available well before the launch on March 6th.
All models will have 5G capability.
There is one differentiating factor here: charging speed.
The S20 and S20+ support charging at 25 watts, which the charger in the box is rated for.
Cameras
Here’s the big differentiation.
The S20 comes with three rear cameras, the S20+ and S20 Ultra have four.
But how those cameras are used is a bit different.
All three phones can capture 8K video.
In even shorter terms it uses some really fancy software to make images look better.
Combined with a 48MP telephoto lens, the level of detail the phone can capture is pretty astounding.
But keep in mind, this is essentially digital cropping.
The more you zoom (read: crop) that massive image, the lower your quality will be.
Price
For your convenience, here’s a comparison of the S20 models and upgrades with prices.
Which One is for You?
The S20 phones are a lot closer in capability than the S10 or Note 10 series models.
If you have small hands or small pockets: Galaxy S20, definitely.
Even that might be too big for you—maybe theGalaxy Z Flipis more appealing?
If you’re on a budget:None, really, but the Galaxy S20 is the cheapest.
you might bring that price down with trade-ins, and both Samsung and retailer partners offer financing.
Or you could drop down to the S10 series,which just got a price cut.
But it’s worth noting that all three support up to 1TB MicroSD cards.
If you want that insane zoom-crop:Galaxy S20 Ultra.
It’s dramatically improved over the other models.
16GB in a phone is insane, but we’re not going to judge you.
