S20 Ultra - bleeding edge tech “too expensive” Apple - release the same tech a year later that’s outdated, charges a couple hundred bucks more because its “revolutionary” The crowd goes WILD! 😂😂😉
Everyone complained and gone wild (including android fan ) about Apple price every year. Samsung used to be cheap than apple but now samsung is more expensive than apple and any other android phone. Of course ! Some not gonna be happy
@@Matteuccishane I don't even think Samsung is more expensive than apple. Iphone 11=Samsung Galaxy 10, both around 600 now. Iphone 11 pro = Samsung Galaxy S20, both 1000. Iphone 11 pro max doesn't really match up with the Ultra so I wouldn't compare. Ultra is just excess and not worth it IMO
@whole27 really? They wouldn't sell a 5G phone without 5G actually working, is what I'd think. Everywhere I look I see positive reviews of this phone. Verizon doesn't offer the normal S20 so I figured I'd go for the plus. Did a lot of research of pros and cons and it seems like a pretty awesome phone.

I got the S20Plus and I really like it. I had an IPhone and I really hate Itunes and all the updates, so I decided to go back to Android, but waited a few months for this S20plus. I am really glad I did, it's prefect for me, as you stated the charge time is very quick. I use the 60HZ and I am completely satisfied with that.

This is literally the first time I've heard the Ultra has battery drain issues and I've watched and read A LOT of reviews. Lost me on that one. Just sounds biased and makes the rest difficult to watch.
Go to gsmarena you will find the full review for the ultra and they gave it low score on battery life, I also own one and I'm considering selling for this reason.
I was hoping you were going to say which was better between the s20+ and s20 for Battery. Which one is better? I know the s20+ has the bigger battery but it also has the bigger screen, so which one lasted longer in your experience ?
I have an s20 ultra...and the battery is a beast!...lasts all day from 7am-11pm...and i still have about 20% left..camera isn't everything...samsung makes a phone for everyone!..😊
I have a Galaxy S10e that you actually reviewed and I love it ❤❤ I am not planning to upgrade on an S20 but if I had to choose between those 3 S20, I would definitely pick the regular S20 because I love small phones like my S10e is. Thank you CNET for your very good reviews 👍👍
Very helpful review. I'm upgrading from an LG and this is my first step into Samsung phones. 6.2 is fine for the size (my LG is 6.4). So far I'm leaning towards the slightly cheaper but still powerful Galaxy S20.
The s20 is by no means small, nor is the screen. Also mmWave only really works if you're basically hugging the damn 5g tower. Out of all three variants, the regular S20 is the best deal, the sweet spot best bang for your buck. If you really want and need a bigger screen then the get the plus. Skip the Ultra.
i mean S20 definitely shouldn't be considered small. a few years ago 6.2 inch display was massive for the average person and in 2020 its really the same thing.
@@arjunsavanur7242 yes bro display amazing . stereo speaker sound superb . and camera fantastic . its has little heating issue and battery backup average that two problems
kdsom once your battery adapts to ur usage you’ll get a boost in battery life(think it’s called adaptive battery) if it doesn’t change in a week take it back so they can check it
@@Iam_wIll1 hahaha 😂 what do you think the marketing department does? They search all possible ways to market the product and youtube reviewers & tech review websites are first target because that is where possible buyers look the first.
Reasons to get the plus: 1. Bigger battery is better for using power share. 2. Better for Visual because of bigger screen. The smaller phones also don’t play nice with Samsung’s VR headsets. I have the 2018 version and the S9 sucks for this. The S9 heats up too fast. I am looking forward to trading my S9 in for a S20+
Ma'am few points i want to say. 1) 4000 mah battery for S20 is fine according to it's size because in + size is big so for that it requires more battery. I don't think so you will see any difference. 2) do you really think 6.2 inch is small, it is more that sufficient . I think whatever feature are there in + and ultra it's all gimmick. Just my view point.
@@rahulrajrai1996well the s20 has 4000mhz and s20plus has 4500 but its basically the same beacause the s20plus is bigger so they are the same battery life

Great review. Could you please help me do some tests? 1, Does the ultra wide camera has auto focus ? Shoot an object around 1.5 meter, see if it in focus or not ? 2, Does the ultra wide camera has 10 minutes limitation when it shoot 4K 30FPS video ? 3, Does the camera use continuous AE/AF when shooting photo/Video ?
It's amazing how reviews have evolved over the years ! It used to be that a 4 inch screen was really big on a phone. Then 5 inch, then 5.5 inch then 6 inch and now according to this review of the S20 vs S20 Plus, 6.2 inches is "small" !! It really is hilarious !! In 10 or 20 years time it will be "Oh you've got a 40 inch phone. Man that's small, look at my 65 inch phone !! " Lmao !! XD
Yeah , i guess some of it is like a fashion trend , or even status thing . For me i prefer large phones , having chunky big old mechanics hands and fingers , typing on a smaller phone is just an exercise in utter frustration , not too mention as you get a bit long in the tooth , the old eyes find text on bigger screens much nicer and easier to see ( I would pick the ultra ) . I do sort of miss the old proper wide phablet days before all this BS with super narrow and tall phones that have currently in a lot of cases become like skinny tv remotes in some instances .... YICK . But it is what it is . Actually i think foldables like the galaxy flip and the motorola device , have an opportunity to make phones a tad wider again given they do fold in half and are a great in shirt pocket form factor . Cheers .
So how is it as........a PHONE? These reviews tend to always overlook the primary purpose of these devices.....how do they operate in making, retaining and receiving calls and how is the qualify of the voice sent and received?
Watching on my galaxy s20 ultra 512 gb and still got money to spare the ultra is a great phone battery life is great for me with 120hz on don't listen to those reviewers if you want to buy the galaxy ultra go for it it's your money you earn it
Using the Note 10 currently but really looking at the S20. I am not fond of my sub 2k screen, less than expected battery and non expandable memory. The HD screen is nice but I should have went with the Note 10+.

you give with a beautiful smile..so you explain it brilliantly..I ordered s20 + (the price is 599 sfr) and was I wrong..was there any better purchase for that money..I salute you from the bottom of my heart
Very good in depth review. These displays are fabulous. I use the S10+ and even with 60hz still excellent. Will I upgrade, still on the fence? I also have the pixel4xl and I compare it's 90hz display against my S10+. The plus is just as good with higher brightness. I really like the s20+, 120hz & 12gigs of ram. Samsung has done an excellent job with all three?
Great review, I'll read the rest. I wonder if the SoC on both have the nice GPU Qualcomm says supports console quality graphics. I also enjoy photography/videography.
CNET please Reply if you see my comment this time in next couple of I want to buy s20 in indiA there is exynos variant it's not 5g is that buy for future proofing and also in india there are lots of 5g phone launches from many brand . I just confused about 5g and future proofing
Bro India isn't getting 5G anytime before 2022. If you plan on using your phone for more than 2-3 years, only then you should care about buying a 5G phone. Although don't just buy the S20 yet, wait for the Oneplus 8 series. It'll give you the best of everything
Very good review, I use the S10+ & I usually upgrade every year. I'm with Verizon & my interests are in the base model which they don't carry yet? Not until quarter 2 with the proper 5g waves. I do like the form factor of the base model 6.2 would be perfect for my uses. Plus the 120hz display & 12gigs of ram. Waiting?
I'm with Verizon also I currently have the ultra but I feel it's too big so I ordered a unlocked s20 as I don't care about 5g and my area probably won't have it for a few years anyway.
I'm in protland with a 20+ and 5g, its nice i suppose but at the moment I think it's silly to get it for the 5g when the quality of the 5g is different from neighborhood to neighborhood even here.
Disappointed at your gray journalism, s20 ultra is a great phone that can be improved for camera yes but talking thrash about battery life just to put the other two models as good, very bad move!
A review is subjective and is not journalism. Everyone has a different experience. Just because you have a different one, it doesn't mean that someone else is wrong.
Sounds good. I'll be getting the cosmic grey one. I've got the s8 at the minute and it is still good apart from the battery life. Is the battery life good with the s20? Can it last a full day with no charge. I could do with it as I need to with my job x
You are literally the best reviewer out there, period. The way you took the minute to explain 120hz refresh rate and why you would want it or the different types of 5g sets you apart imho........Great Job!!
Phones are getting way too large,I wasn't an iPhone fan but opted to go that because of the small size of the iPhone 11 pro.very comforting in the hands.
Welp, I told myself I'm going to keep my Note 8 until it died but then this morning I dropped it in the parking lot and the screen shattered. S20 plus time!
Best Buy has a Save $450 off the S20 plus. Add on the $350 trade that I have, and the price goes way down. That’s the time to buy if you’re in the market for the non stylus S lineup.
I had one of these for a few days , coming over from I Phone , little faults that may or may not be solvable , One battery and signal indicator far to small , when using phone as a sat nav and you receive a call sat nav goes off , then after a few seconds you are talking to a blank screen , battery life poor , but you would never know as battery indicator is so small , yes you can go into setting to check but why ? I spoke to Samsung re display , but unless you hack the phone you cant make the notification bar bigger , so its bagged up ready to go back to EE , I will wait for Apples 5G offering later in the year
In paper S20+ it is amazing however right now a lot of users around the world are facing the color lines on the screen and the saddest part Samsung it’s not taking any responsibility about this faulty issue with their screens and android upgrade. Last time I purchased a Samsung phone.
Apart from the autofocus issues, most consumers should choose regular S20 series because they are much smaller in size and lightweight as well. Ultra is too heavy for normal usage.
Hello..I have a BIG question and I would like to know what you think.. Should I get the samsung s20 plus 4g or should I go higher with samsung s20 plus 5g ? (I am living in Greece and will probably keep the phone for 3-4+ years)
If you own the s10 series not worth the upgrade,my biggest gripe with Samsung phones are their camera's suck always cloudy too much exposure even after adjusting settings
Pissed because I have small hands and always get the smaller galaxies but Verizon only has the s20+ right now. I would've waited until the s20 came out but my screen shattered on my s9 so I didnt want to wait a month or two
Very good review and honest that s20 ultra is negligible and don't need to get one right away but wait just a little bit for a good deal. The s20 looks appealing and reasonable.
The S 20 Ultra camera, for when you want to take pictures of your kids growing up but your ex-wife moved them out of state.

Keyboard is smaller? Can't you usually adjust the dimensions of the keyboard though? I know you definitely can with Gboard
Yeah but a bigger screen means you can make your keyboard bigger with out taking up tok much of the screen and its wider
You can make the keyboard taller, wider than the screen is not 😅
You can. But you can only make it taller you know. Because it can only go as wide as the width of the phone.

CNET please Reply if you see my comment this time in next couple of I want to buy s20 in indiA there is exynos variant it's not 5g is that buy for future proofing and also in india there are lots of 5g phone launches from many brand . I just confused about 5g and future proofing
Bro India isn't getting 5G anytime before 2022. If you plan on using your phone for more than 2-3 years, only then you should care about buying a 5G phone.
Although don't just buy the S20 yet, wait for the Oneplus 8 series. It'll give you the best of everything
Very good review, I use the S10+ & I usually upgrade every year. I'm with Verizon & my interests are in the base model which they don't carry yet? Not until quarter 2 with the proper 5g waves. I do like the form factor of the base model 6.2 would be perfect for my uses. Plus the 120hz display & 12gigs of ram. Waiting?
I'm with Verizon also I currently have the ultra but I feel it's too big so I ordered a unlocked s20 as I don't care about 5g and my area probably won't have it for a few years anyway.
The ultra 512/16. In cosmic black is a boss. I love mine
My BlackBerry bold 2gb ram and space is AwEsOmE
Isn't the Ultra too heavy? like over 210g+
what the colour of s20...white or cloud blue?
I`m a bit partial to the blue ;) .
That is the cloud blue. I did not find the white here so I just got it. Looks really good.
Great review, Jessica! Keep up the good work!
I can't buy the S20 knowing the fact that I don't have both types of 5G but I love the size.
That's not gonna matter for a long time...mm wave is a long way from being a properly working option like were used to with LTE
I'm in protland with a 20+ and 5g, its nice i suppose but at the moment I think it's silly to get it for the 5g when the quality of the 5g is different from neighborhood to neighborhood even here.
Disappointed at your gray journalism, s20 ultra is a great phone that can be improved for camera yes but talking thrash about battery life just to put the other two models as good, very bad move!
A review is subjective and is not journalism. Everyone has a different experience. Just because you have a different one, it doesn't mean that someone else is wrong.
Just purchased the S20 and I love it. &its Pink!!!!
Raquel Alvarado my upgrade is due.. is it worth it? What's the best features on the S20
Its really nice, first off its bigger than my s10e so thats a plus! Camera is probably the best part and all the photos you can take!
Sounds good. I'll be getting the cosmic grey one. I've got the s8 at the minute and it is still good apart from the battery life. Is the battery life good with the s20? Can it last a full day with no charge. I could do with it as I need to with my job x
I got no beef with this lady.
@Yorky Gonzalez Tend to agree.
Great video comprision watching with my S20 plus
Is the size good? Or is it too big?
@@v3nomgamez247 the size good for me 👍
@@usmanabdulkadir3334 how is The battery?
You are literally the best reviewer out there, period. The way you took the minute to explain 120hz refresh rate and why you would want it or the different types of 5g sets you apart imho........Great Job!!
I am using Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
Its runs buttery smooth so no plan to upgrade
I am waiting what Note 20 plus offers
From wich country you bought The phone?
Samsung S20 king world camera
Phones are getting way too large,I wasn't an iPhone fan but opted to go that because of the small size of the iPhone 11 pro.very comforting in the hands.
Which one should I get note 20 vs the galaxy s20 plus, s20 ?
2:42 that what she said.
If you change the phones every hear S20 will be better choice.
If you don`t (every 2-3 years) I think S20Plus will be a better choice because of 5G.
5 years . I have s6 now
Majed Sa almost 6 years, i have S5 :)
Aren't all 3 versions 5G compatible tho?
They all got 5g
Great review as always thank you I'm in the market not only for a new phone but for a new service provider I am done with AT&T
T-Mobile has been reliable across the country.
I drove big trucks for a few years.
Great rates, too.
Using the 20+ i think it as a tablet more than a phone and i love it.
If you think of the S20+ as a tablet, you clearly haven't use many modern flagships.
@@Gravage ok
If u have any questions about the phone please ask
@@johnarat8711 how is The battery?
Phones are getting too big
If both price is the same which one will you choose.
Which one is better , when sending multiple pictures to someone in a text. I'm looking for a new phone
Welp, I told myself I'm going to keep my Note 8 until it died but then this morning I dropped it in the parking lot and the screen shattered. S20 plus time!
Same with me bruh. I have a s9 plus and i dropped it last night on concrete and the screen cracked.
I think your guys just dropped it in purpose, just to get a new phone,
got you 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
So far the best review yet
I have currently the s9 I want the s20 plus
s20+ is $400 off through Verizon right now.
where is Ms.Dolcourt nowadays? not seeing her much. left CNET?
Best Buy has a Save $450 off the S20 plus. Add on the $350 trade that I have, and the price goes way down. That’s the time to buy if you’re in the market for the non stylus S lineup.
is there not a ram difference ? 8gb on s20 and 12gb on plus ?
I had one of these for a few days , coming over from I Phone , little faults that may or may not be solvable , One battery and signal indicator far to small , when using phone as a sat nav and you receive a call sat nav goes off , then after a few seconds you are talking to a blank screen , battery life poor , but you would never know as battery indicator is so small , yes you can go into setting to check but why ?
I spoke to Samsung re display , but unless you hack the phone you cant make the notification bar bigger , so its bagged up ready to go back to EE , I will wait for Apples 5G offering later in the year
Which model are
Legit about to get the plus because an s20 won't ship to me until December 😂
Where to you live?
In camera app whenever I press single leaf it takes me to 3x zoom. Is it possible to make it 2x by default.
Brilliant comparison. Quick to the point, no nonsense.
Battery test of s20 vs s20+ at 120Hz how will be the last stand?
In paper S20+ it is amazing however right now a lot of users around the world are facing the color lines on the screen and the saddest part Samsung it’s not taking any responsibility about this faulty issue with their screens and android upgrade. Last time I purchased a Samsung phone.
Apart from the autofocus issues, most consumers should choose regular S20 series because they are much smaller in size and lightweight as well. Ultra is too heavy for normal usage.
5:13 - 5:17 & 6:28 - 6:32 whats the title ? I can't shazam it to fine the song title
The s20 is 8GB ram and the s20 Plus is 12 GB ram does that make a big difference?
Does anyone else with s20 plus not even come close to 4500 mAh? I have 1 that seems to only charge to 4100 and another that charges under 4000
Hello..I have a BIG question and I would like to know what you think..
Should I get the samsung s20 plus 4g or should I go higher with samsung s20 plus 5g ?
(I am living in Greece and will probably keep the phone for 3-4+ years)
If you are going to keep it for a long time I would get the 5g because that new technology is going to become more common place
Both are 5 g bro. 🙄🙄🙄
If you own the s10 series not worth the upgrade,my biggest gripe with Samsung phones are their camera's suck always cloudy too much exposure even after adjusting settings
Pissed because I have small hands and always get the smaller galaxies but Verizon only has the s20+ right now. I would've waited until the s20 came out but my screen shattered on my s9 so I didnt want to wait a month or two
Jim Lahey try using the s20 plus
it was a comparison and u did not compare the battery! just told us that 120 hz is gonna drain the battery!! cummon!
If you love the Pink one ..you can only get it on S20 ❤️.... and I got a nice deal on my old iPhone trade in ...
I’m team Apple but man those r some beautiful phones 😍😍
Bebes Niece yes. I have a Xs max and love the s20 plus
Omg the pictures on these phones are life
so, i take it that you have the stock gs 20, not the gs 20+, Cnet lady??
Very good review and honest that s20 ultra is negligible and don't need to get one right away but wait just a little bit for a good deal.
The s20 looks appealing and reasonable.
Nice review. Thank you.
0:53 What's wrong with it?
Hi,from portugal...can you help me,.. where i can buy the s20 whit a snapdragon...without being deceived...thaks,and everything good to you👍✌
