The Galaxy S20 series has also received a massive improvement in the camera department, the devices boast of up to 108MP wide-angle lens and capable of recording videos at 8K resolution. Samsung has also partnered with YouTube to provide an easy means to upload those UHD videos to YouTube.
Samsung has removed the 3.5mm headphone jack on the S20 series, you’ll have to use a USB Type-C headphone or buy the Samsung earbud if you wish, it comes as a separate accessory but of course, you can always use that of other brands that you prefer.
The S20 series brings better performance with Samsung’s home-baked 7nm+ Exynos 990 SoC for the global variants of the Galaxy S20 (6.2-inch), S20+ (6.7-inch), and S20 Ultra (6.9-inch). However, Samsung will be retailing the 7nm+ Snapdragon 865 variant in the US.
