Samsung Galaxy S20 Unboxing and Hands-On | 5G Android Smartphone 📱
9Quick little video on the Samsung Galaxy S20 were I unbox the phone and set it up for use. The phone was returned later and swapped for a OnePlus 8T because the battery life on the S20 was terrible. Even when using the display at 720p 60FPS, having battery saver on and manually deleting apps using ADB commands the battery didn't last me a full day. Whereas the OnePlus 8T lasts me 2 days with the same use without too many modifications.
ADB commands I used to remove bloatware: https://www.digiadvies.com/post/remove-bloatware-samsung-galaxy-s20

-- Info from Wikipedia --
The title of the phone was originally presumed to be the Galaxy S11, due to it being the logical extension from the predecessor. However, successive leaks in January 2020 revealed the title of the phone to be the Galaxy S20, because of the multiples of 10, rather than 1.
Hardware
Chipsets
The S20 line comprises three models with various hardware specifications; international models of the S20 utilize the Exynos 990 system-on-chip, while the U.S., Canadian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese models utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865.
Display
A 1440p "Dynamic AMOLED" is featured with HDR10+ support and "dynamic tone mapping" technology. The S20 and S20+ have a 6.2-inch display and a 6.7-inch display, respectively, while the S20 Ultra has a 6.9-inch display. The displays have curved sides that slope over the horizontal edges of the device, and a wider 20:9 aspect ratio is used in addition to a 120 Hz refresh rate double that of the S10. All models utilize an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.
Storage
The base amount of RAM is 8 GB, with an additional 12 GB option for the S20 & S20+ and a 16 GB option for the S20 Ultra. 128 GB of internal storage is standard and the S20+ & S20 Ultra also offers 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB options, with up to 1 TB of expansion via the microSD card slot. Verizon's Galaxy S20 5G UW model is not equipped with a microSD slot.
Batteries
The S20, S20+ & S20 Ultra contain non-removable 4000 mAh, 4500 mAh, and 5000 mAh Li-Po batteries respectively, and Qi inductive charging is supported at up to 15W as well as the ability to charge other Qi-compatible devices from the S20's own battery power, which is branded as “Samsung PowerShare”. Wired charging is supported over USB-C at up to 25W for the S20 & S20+ and 45W for the S20 Ultra.
Connectivity
The S20 series comes with 5G standard connectivity, though some regions may have special LTE variants. However, only Verizon models are compatible with ultra-fast millimeter-wave networks, and the audio jack has been omitted entirely.
Cameras
The cameras on the Galaxy S20 series improved considerably over its predecessors, although unlike the S9 and S10, the aperture on the main lens is fixed. While the megapixels of the main and ultra wide sensors remained unchanged on the S20 and S20+, the telephoto sensor received some improvements. The 64-megapixel telephoto camera, branded as “Space Zoom”, supports 3X hybrid optical zoom (branded as "Hybrid Optic Zoom") and 30X digital zoom at 64 megapixels on the new telephoto sensor instead of 12 megapixels at two times on the S10 and 30 times digitally (branded as "Super-Resolution Zoom").
