Samsung back then said that they won’t be unveiling over the top member of its S20 series, the Galaxy S20 Ultra in Nepal. But now it looks like they are heading for the launch. You saw it right, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is making its way to the Nepali market after all, albeit in the non-5G variant.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra back then created a lot of buzz among tech enthusiasts, a large part of it was due to the phone’s 108MP main camera that uses 9-in-1 pixel binning technology. Other than that, the 48MP periscope lens is also no slouch, being the first of its kind on any Samsung device. This offers a 10x hybrid optical zoom and up to a whopping 100x Super Resolution Zoom.
Meanwhile, the 12MP ultrawide sensor completes the phone’s chunky rectangle tile. There’s also a 40MP selfie camera at the front, possibly one of the highest resolution selfie cameras we have seen to date.
