Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus suits buyers looking for a premium display and a flexible camera setup; the trade-off is its rear main camera’s 12 MP resolution, lower than most phones of its time. The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 1,200-nit peak brightness. Both figures are better than those of most phones launched around the same time, while its 525 ppi pixel density is among the highest.

Its 4,500 mAh battery and 25 W wired charging are better than most phones of its time. The 15 W wireless charging specification is among the best. For photography, the 1/1.76-inch main sensor is better than most, and 3x optical zoom is among the best of phones launched around the same time. The main camera’s resolution, however, is lower than most.

The 8 GB of RAM also exceeds what most phones of its time offer. IP68 protection and a weight of 186 g round out the package, adding water and dust protection in a relatively light body. The Galaxy S20 Plus earns a NeoScore of 6.9. It is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the display, battery and optical zoom, and can accept a lower-than-most resolution for the rear main camera.
