Samsung’s S-series phones have always boasted top-tier specs, and the S20 Plus is no exception. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset in the US or Exynos 990 in other countries (including the UK and Australia) and 12GB of RAM baseline breeze through games, media binges, and multi-app multitasking.

That’s not especially remarkable, but it seems that battery life is more or less keeping pace with innovation: you can eke out a bit more life by reducing the display resolution or dropping the refresh rate down to 60Hz; conversely, you can max-out the screen tech that’s on offer, but battery life will suffer accordingly. Among the benefits of that 120Hz display is that, in games that support it, the onscreen framerate can reach much higher than the usual 60fps you get with phones that have 60Hz screens. In the onscreen Manhattan GFXBench test, the S20 Plus achieved an average frame rate of 105fps, which is among the highest we’ve ever seen in this test. (Note: we attempted to retest the OnePlus 7T Pro in this test but it remained capped at 60fps, despite the 90Hz option being selected in the display settings.) The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus was launched in the US, UK and Australia in March 2020. There are two variants of the phone; one with 5G, and another with only 4G. As you’d expect from a flagship refresh, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is flush with the very latest silicon. In the case of the UK and European release of the phone, you’re getting Samsung’s 7nm 2.7GHz octa-core Exynos 990 while our US counterparts get the Snapdragon 865.The Samsung Galaxy S20+ Plus 5G SIM Free offers a USB Type-C charging port, WiFi, WiFi hotspot and tethering, 3G/4G network support, Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS. However, it does not support NFC. Sensors

Get ready for what Samsung are calling the “smartphone camera to end all cameras”. The Galaxy S20+ has everything you need to take great pics thanks to a 64MP Telephoto Camera, 10MP Front Camera and 12MP Wide Camera. So whether it’s a stunning wide angle landscape, a zoomed in close-up or a show stopping selfie the Galaxy S20+ will have your friends thinking you’re a professional photographer. The phone features a large 6.7-inch screen with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200p. The Dynamic AMOLED screen offers vivid and stunning colors. The screen features an Infinity-O display, Corning Gorilla Glass 6 and an Always-on display. With a pixel density of 525 ppi, you can expect crystal-clear and sharp images. Camera Change your airtime tariff after 30 days and then once every billing month during your minimum contract period, choosing from a selected family of tariffs. Some tariff extras are only available on the starting tariff, are not transferable, and may be lost if you change to an ineligible tariff. Devices are subject to availability. That’s because we’re still in the early days of 5G, so don’t expect this expanded connectivity to be a major selling point this year as carriers build out their networks. In our New York City testing, we bounced through Verizon’s still-piecemeal mmWave 5G area, which provided impressive speeds when we didn’t accidentally step outside the coverage bubbles.So, how do these cameras perform? Well, they’re very good but not the best I’ve ever come across. In a side-by-side comparison of shots captured with the iPhone 11 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera (in daylight), I saw a little more contrast and lower noise levels in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus shots, while the iPhone images looked a touch more natural and neutral overall:
