Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy S20 5G (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) suits buyers after a manageable 5G phone with a top-tier display, but its 4,000 mAh battery holds less than average for phones of its time. Its 25 W fast charging is better than most, and the battery overall is above average.

The 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display pairs 120 Hz refresh with 1,200 nits peak brightness and 566 ppi. The refresh rate is better than most phones of its time, while brightness and pixel density are among the highest; the display itself is among the best. At 163 g, the phone is lighter than most of its time, and IP68 protection covers dust and water.

The Snapdragon 865 records 763,237 in AnTuTu, among the highest results of its time, and 12 GB of RAM is also among the most generous memory capacities. Performance and hardware as a whole are better than most phones of the period. The camera is better than most: its 1/1.76-inch main sensor and 1.1x optical zoom stand out, although the main camera’s 12 MP resolution is lower than most. Optical image stabilization and 8K video recording are included.

Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and USB 3.2; wireless charging and stereo speakers round out the feature set. Its NeoScore is 6.0, and overall it is better than most phones of its time. It makes most sense for buyers who prioritize the screen, performance and camera features over battery capacity.
