1
00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:02.860
- Apparently, the number
11 is for suckers.

2
00:00:02.860 --> 00:00:04.120
Windows stopped at 10,

3
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.430
Huawei skipped 11 after the Mate 10,

4
00:00:06.430 --> 00:00:08.310
and now, Samsung is jumping straight

5
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:11.165
from the Galaxy S10, to the Galaxy S20.

6
00:00:11.165 --> 00:00:14.665
(smooth electronic music)

7
00:00:15.670 --> 00:00:17.070
On last year's Galaxy S10,

8
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:19.130
Samsung added a bunch
of fancy new features,

9
00:00:19.130 --> 00:00:20.510
like triple rear cameras,

10
00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:22.282
an in-screen fingerprint scanner,

11
00:00:22.282 --> 00:00:23.830
and punch-hole selfie shooters.

12
00:00:23.830 --> 00:00:25.360
And now, with the Galaxy S20,

13
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:27.100
Samsung has spruced up its next phone

14
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:28.730
with a focus on display tech,

15
00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:29.870
bigger camera sensors,

16
00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:32.750
and 5G across the entire phone line.

17
00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:33.690
Before we dive in,

18
00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:34.940
Let's go over the S20 lineup,

19
00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:37.210
and the differences between
each of the 3 devices.

20
00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:40.420
Starting a $1000, the standard Galaxy S20

21
00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:42.240
is actually the cheapest of the bunch.

22
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.530
It comes with a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen,

23
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:46.530
and like every version of the S20,

24
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:49.360
it also has a Snapdragon 865 processor,

25
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:50.580
12GB of RAM,

26
00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:52.259
128GB of base storage,

27
00:00:52.259 --> 00:00:54.380
and a microSD card slot.

28
00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:56.870
But not having a 3.5 millimeter port

29
00:00:56.870 --> 00:00:59.570
basically kills any dreams
of seeing a headphone jack

30
00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:02.110
on a flagship Samsung phone ever again.

31
00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:04.901
The S20 also has a 12-megapixel wide angle cam,

32
00:01:04.901 --> 00:01:07.560
a 12-megapixel ultra-wide cam,

33
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.640
and a whopping 64-megapixel telephoto cam

34
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.970
that Samsung says has a 3x lossless zoom.

35
00:01:13.970 --> 00:01:17.140
However, while the vanilla
S20 does support 5G,

36
00:01:17.140 --> 00:01:19.750
it only supports sub 6 gigahertz 5G,

37
00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:20.960
which means for Verizon,

38
00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:23.150
whose 5G network is based solely on

39
00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:24.930
millimeter wave 5G right now,

40
00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:27.660
they won't even carry the
standard S20 in stores.

41
00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:30.130
That brings us to the Galaxy S20+,

42
00:01:30.130 --> 00:01:31.970
which starts at $1200

43
00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:34.060
and comes with a 6.7-inch screen

44
00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:35.750
and a slightly bigger battery.

45
00:01:35.750 --> 00:01:37.180
But for the most part has the same

46
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:38.890
general specs as the Galaxy S20.

47
00:01:38.890 --> 00:01:41.270
The main difference is
the S20+ features support

48
00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:43.390
for both sub 6 gigahertz 5G,

49
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:45.110
and millimeter wave 5G,

50
00:01:45.110 --> 00:01:48.430
so you get better service across
a wider range of networks.

51
00:01:48.430 --> 00:01:50.050
There's also a time-of-flight camera

52
00:01:50.050 --> 00:01:51.750
that helps various AR features,

53
00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:53.250
like Samsung's AR doodles.

54
00:01:53.250 --> 00:01:56.150
Finally, there's the Galaxy S20 Ultra,

55
00:01:56.150 --> 00:01:59.170
which costs a wallet-quivering $1400.

56
00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:00.137
Like the S20+,

57
00:02:00.137 --> 00:02:02.850
the S20 Ultra has a rear
time-of-flight camera

58
00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:05.410
and supports sub 6 gigahertz 5G,

59
00:02:05.410 --> 00:02:07.320
and millimeter wave 5G.

60
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:08.660
For all that money,

61
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:12.150
you also get an absolutely
huge 6.9-inch display,

62
00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:14.990
a giant 5000 milliampere hour battery,

63
00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:17.090
and a super thick camera module

64
00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:20.880
that features a 100x space zoom.

65
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:21.713
That's not a joke.

66
00:02:21.713 --> 00:02:22.860
That's actually what they call it.

67
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:24.730
Now technically, every Galaxy S20

68
00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:26.960
has at least 30x zoom capabilities.

69
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.860
But on the S20 and S20+,

70
00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:30.660
Samsung is just using image stacking

71
00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:33.220
and sensor cropping to
deliver digital zoom.

72
00:02:33.220 --> 00:02:34.980
On the Galaxy S20 Ultra,

73
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:37.280
Samsung is combining 4x optical zoom

74
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.290
with pixel binning and cropping

75
00:02:39.290 --> 00:02:42.510
to create what the company is
calling a 10x lossless zoom

76
00:02:42.510 --> 00:02:44.370
that goes all the way to 100x

77
00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:45.690
when combined with digital zoom.

78
00:02:45.690 --> 00:02:48.720
That's enough to easily spot
a bird in a far away tree,

79
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:51.740
or catch the action from way
up in the nosebleed seats.

80
00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:52.880
And if that's not enough,

81
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:54.410
the S20 Ultra's main camera

82
00:02:54.410 --> 00:02:57.490
uses a massive 108 megapixel sensor

83
00:02:57.490 --> 00:03:00.200
that combines nine
pixels into one big pixel

84
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.030
for even better image quality.

85
00:03:02.030 --> 00:03:04.520
All told, Samsung says the
new cameras on the S20 line

86
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.420
represent the biggest photo upgrades

87
00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:09.010
to any Galaxy phone since the Galaxy S7.

88
00:03:09.010 --> 00:03:11.620
And while we haven't had a
chance to test them properly yet,

89
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:13.070
that's a real bold claim.

90
00:03:13.070 --> 00:03:15.570
Aside from new cameras and 5G support,

91
00:03:15.570 --> 00:03:17.360
the S20 family's other big edition

92
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.220
is a 120 hertz screen,

93
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:20.330
which makes everything you do,

94
00:03:20.330 --> 00:03:22.530
from gaming to just
scrolling the settings,

95
00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:23.700
look super smooth.

96
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:25.700
However, there is a catch.

97
00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:27.650
That 120Hz refresh rate

98
00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:31.050
only works when the phone is
set to Full HD+ resolution.

99
00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:32.870
So, if you go into the phone settings

100
00:03:32.870 --> 00:03:36.530
and switch the S20's max WQHD+ resolution,

101
00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:38.560
you revert back to 60Hz.

102
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.430
We're guessing Samsung
added this limitation

103
00:03:40.430 --> 00:03:42.060
to prevent the S20 from sucking down

104
00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:44.200
too much battery in 120Hz mode.

105
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:45.780
But, it's still kind of a bummer.

106
00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:47.280
You'd like to have that option.

107
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.630
And as with every new
generation of the Galaxy phones,

108
00:03:49.630 --> 00:03:52.170
Samsung added a bunch of new features too,

109
00:03:52.170 --> 00:03:53.230
like the Quick Share tool,

110
00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:56.010
which is basically Apple's
Airdrop for Galaxy phones,

111
00:03:56.010 --> 00:03:57.670
an enhanced super steady video mode

112
00:03:57.670 --> 00:03:59.440
with improved stabilization,

113
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:01.130
and a new single take camera mode

114
00:04:01.130 --> 00:04:03.610
that captures multiple pics and videos

115
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:06.300
using all the phone's rear
cameras at the same time,

116
00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:07.920
but only for up to 10 seconds.

117
00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:08.753
That's a lot.

118
00:04:08.753 --> 00:04:09.980
Before it's price,

119
00:04:09.980 --> 00:04:11.990
Samsung really needed to pack the S20

120
00:04:11.990 --> 00:04:13.950
full of as much as possible.

121
00:04:13.950 --> 00:04:15.440
The S20 Ultra in particular

122
00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:17.360
feels like an absolute beast,

123
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.610
and even when you are just
holding it in your hands,

124
00:04:19.610 --> 00:04:22.210
it seems like is came from an
entirely different phone line

125
00:04:22.210 --> 00:04:24.320
compared to the S20 and S20+.

126
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:26.170
But still, I can't help but wonder

127
00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:27.610
if this might be the year Samsung

128
00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:30.730
pushed the price of the next
Galaxy just a bit too high.

129
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:33.380
Either way, we'll know more
once we chance to test them out

130
00:04:33.380 --> 00:04:36.283
closer to the S20's
official release on March 6.

131
00:04:37.499 --> 00:04:40.999
(smooth electronic music)
