Pre-booking aside, what do the two new flagships from Samsung bring? Let’s take a look.
Samsung Galaxy S20+
Unlike the previous year, this year’s “Plus” model is mostly limited to a bigger screen, battery and a better selfie camera than the normal. To begin with the screen, the Galaxy S20+ has a Dynamic AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate as well as 240Hz touch-sensing — both being first from Samsung. The 6.7-inch screen has 1440p+ resolution and supports HDR10+ with less curve, but the same width as the S10+.
Now about the crown jewel of the phone — the camera. The Galaxy S20+ has a main camera with a 12MP sensor with large 1.8µm pixels as opposed to 1.4µm pixels on the S10 models. It’s an f/1.8 lens and supports Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
There’s also a telephoto lens with the highest-ever resolution on a zoom camera yet — a 64MP sensor that supports 3x hybrid zoom and up to 30x Super Resolution Zoom. This one also supports OIS and has an aperture of f/2.0.
The same 64MP sensor is used to capture 8K videos, one of the first to do so. In case you’re wondering, the single frame of an 8K video is 33MP, which is higher than the still resolution of most phones.
Another one is an ultra-wide camera with a 12MP sensor and 120-degree FoV. The Plus model also gets a DepthVision camera for portrait shots and depth-based effects.

Samsung Galaxy S20
The Samsung Galaxy S20, this year, takes the spot of last year’s ‘e’ model despite being a spiritual successor to the normal S10. And with a 6.2-inch screen, it’s almost as same as last year’s S10 model but with a slightly taller and narrower body.
