Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy S20 5G UW technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G UW suits anyone after a compact 5G phone with a high-resolution display, but its 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than average for phones of its time. Wired charging reaches 25 W, wireless charging 15 W, and reverse wireless charging is also supported.
Its 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display combines a 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,200-nit peak brightness, and 566 ppi. The display and design are among the best of their time, while the 168.1 g body weighs less than most phones of its time. IP68 protection and Gorilla Glass 6 round out the hardware.
Performance and hardware are among the best of their time, and connectivity is better than most. The phone pairs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with 5G support. Its camera is also better than most: the 1/1.76″ main sensor is larger than average, and 1.1x optical zoom is better than most phones offer. The main camera's 12 MP resolution, however, is worse than most. Video recording reaches 8K at 24 fps.
With a NeoScore of 6.6, the Galaxy S20 5G UW stands out for its display, performance, and cameras. It fits buyers who prioritize those strengths and can accept a below-average battery capacity.
