Editorial report

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

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) suits buyers looking for a versatile premium phone, though at 188 g it is heavier than average for phones of its time. Its display and camera flexibility are major strengths; the rear main camera's 12 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones from the period.

The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display combines a 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,200-nit peak brightness, and 525 ppi. Its refresh rate is better than most, while its brightness and pixel density are among the highest of its time. HDR10+, Always-On Display, and Gorilla Glass 6 are also included.

The Snapdragon 865 scores 743,000 in AnTuTu, among the best of its time. The telephoto camera's 3x optical zoom is also among the best. The rear main camera has 12 MP resolution, an f/1.8 aperture, and optical image stabilization. Its 4,500 mAh battery holds slightly more than average; 25 W fast charging is better than most, and 25 W wireless charging is among the best. The phone also supports 5G, Dual SIM, and expandable storage.

With an overall NeoScore of 6.8, it is a well-rounded choice for buyers who prioritize a standout display, optical zoom, and wireless charging, and can accept above-average weight and a modest main-camera resolution.
