Why wallpapers look always better on other people's phones!?
Because other people's phones are better
@@nkkm5926 not a best answer 😒
Because it looks nice but it's not your taste.
youre seeing their wallpaper for the first time while you see yours everyday, a new wallpaper is always going to be more refreshing to look at
It is because of high production value. when the record the video of the phone, they correct the colors and sharpen the picture, all the works to perfectly edit the video. This is why the phone's themselves look so beautiful in Zach's and Marques' videos
I think one thing that's worth mentioning is the presence of microSD slot. It's getting rare these days, so that's one reason that made me choose this phone (the SD version) over the OP8 pro.
@Uchiha Daniel definitely the snapdragon version, I'm still using it currently, as fast as it was when I first got it over two years ago.
@Uchiha Daniel my exynos variant is so smooth. I can't find any issue using it, so why is it a nightmare?
you definitely need to do a video on how you customized your home screen and apps!! I need it!!
Watching you on my s9 phone which is still going strong almost 2 years on got mine on contract November 14th 2018
Same, i use IT as my Daily driver 🥰
I have s8 still fine, but battery is getting bad now.
Had all the s modiles and hoping today my s20plus arrive ,currently using s9+ also a really good phone ...
same here but S9+
Yo my woman has that phone, watching this video to see if worth getting the upgrade for her
Bro you know you gotta link that wallpaper
For every video**
It's on the Walli app, if you type 'Ocean' and scroll down a bit!
I tried searching ocean and I wasn't able to find it. Are you able to provide a link?
@@HeartKingdom100 I found it in Walli by searching water
@@HeartKingdom100 type oceans by Alejandro Franco
I love this phone, my only complaint is the missing headphones plug in. The stereo in my car is not a Bluetooth so I use a plug from my phone to the stereo. Not a deal breaker but would be nice if they kept the plug in jack in place. Aside from that I have no other problems with it. Yeah its insanely expensive but it's worth it to me. I replaced my old A10E with this.
Still going strong with the s8+ for 3 years 😤 contracts ended so now gettin s20+ 5g. Rip s8+ served me well😔 2017-2020
S6 was my phone for a long time, now i have the S 20plus version and i'm super happy with it.
Never once broke a screen on my S6. Number 4 on my S20. Luckily I don't pay but...
and then there's the Exynos version... that should've been called the s19 lol.
Correction : S9.5 Plus *ahem*
It just sucks. I might get the Note 10+ with exynos because its a little better for what I have seen on batery and other tests. Or im just to going to get One plus 7 or 8 and save some money
@@karolisrum6573 Get the Oneplus. This is coming from a S10e Exynos user
@@me-me3126 Thanks for your response. I think its time to say goodbye for Samsung, im using S9+ currently its not the best phone but it held up pretty well for 2 years now. But these new models cost the same as the SD865
I've been using the exynos s20 ultra and although I know it's not as good as snapdragon 865 it has improved A LOT in terms of battery life and camera performance thanks to software updates.
My only disadvantage of this phone that it doesn't have 256GB. 128 is not enough and 512 is alot. 256 is the sweet spot.
Buy a mini SD card and you're set.
@@DJEnZyX I use 2 sim cards. sadly in my country one is good for calling other is good in internet. Other than that the internal memory is always better. For application you can't put them in SD card. Nowadays apps are huge. Plus the phone when have more its breathing better.
Are those app icons the standard outofthebox icons? If so i love em. If not. Can someone maybe link to a purchase to it?
I have purchased the S-20 Plus phone and have had it now for about two months and love it so far. This phone is an upgrade from a Motorola phone I purchased over 7 years ago and this one has more features and I hope it will last me for as long as the last one I had and give me service as good as the last one. My phones are used primarily for calling and receiving calls, and to get on the internet for so many minutes and occasionally to map my route to a certain destination and back home. The camera feature is one thing I don't use since I have two good cameras to take video clips and photos with.
"very low battery consumption when idle"
Well you certainly don't mean the Exynos one
Creme Caramel you’re a chump
@@alexxx6801 true man its different not same performance they show on you tube when it comes to battery Samsung has a feature which optimizes your battery accordingly to your usage after day to day usage you get better battery back not out of the box
Yeah here i am with the exyenos one I get 5 hours max on-screen with mobile data its average the exyenos is good gets to warm and slightly better then a 855 overall for the price its ok but if it wasn't on special I would buy a iPhone 12.
5 Best things and 5 Worst things of s20+
My mind: *5 with snapdragon and 5 with exynos*
When your camera is top 3 in the world and its in "5 worst things" list. okay.
Huawei #1
Rick Quin LMAOOOOO not even in top 10. iPhone 11 Pro Max/12 Pro Max now are the best cameras in a smartphone, period.
Clearly can see u know nothing about huawei p40 pro. Apple fan boi!
@@youtubelover9209 ur trippen my sister n mom have a 11 pro and i got my s20 + and the camera washes them
@@youtubelover9209 Yeah, no they’re not. S20 has a 64mp camera quality which is 4x better than any iPhone camera. Just because you have LiDar doesn’t mean anything lol
I have the S20 +. This is my first Samsung smart phone product from them. I've had it for "ONE" week. This is what I have encountered.
Battery life. No where near what is advertised. I've disabled and removed ,if able, all apps to help improve longevity.
I would like to "backup" the completed system on a local drive. Haven't seen any installed app to make this happen. Backing up into a cloud doesn't work for me.
I installed my own ringtones and notification sounds. The installed sounds are too few to choose from.
I like the screen performance and very quick connections to my local network and Bluetooth devices.
I really like your weather app on your home screen. Could you let us know where it may be downloaded from ?
thanks
It's a tweak with the widgets,you can try out delta and kwig kustom widgets on the playstore
The weather app is called Appy Weather I believe. And I think you may just have a defective device, my S20+ gets the full advertised battery life and im ALWAYS using it on max settings and performance. There is also no way to backup an android device to a physical medium that Im aware of, your only option is through Google Drive which should be automatically doing it in the background every day (Drive -> hamburger menu -> backups)
can you do a special review about the custom, the icon and the widgets of this device?
can you pleaseeee make a video showing your setup! it looks so good!
He showed how to do it czcams.com/video/b8JEOOxQKgE/video.html
please, do a video of customizing your home screen, showing your launcher, icon pack,...
Great idea

0:44 where do you get that wallpaper!!?? :O
There is no phone that is going to please everyone. People were crying for years to have a under display fingerprint reader, Samsung does it, people complain about it. People will always find something they don’t like. Maybe they should start taking custom orders where you can build your own smartphone like a PC. No wait, that won’t work either cause people will complain about cost or how long it takes to build it. 🤔
3:21 *laughs in LG V30 not getting any updates in 2 years*
Your absolutely right i just upgraded from a V30!
Is there a video explaining your UI setup? Looks very nice!
Where can I get that case or skin?
Great video.
Thank you
I got mine 2 days ago, I used Amazon prime day. It was a 2 day special so I got my s20 5g us version for $750
Just ordered the S20+ after watching the uninteresting Pixel 5 release (although, still seems like a solid phone). Got super hyped watching this video!
Hello, i just bought the s20 plus and i have a problem where the my camera focuses quite long, and the quality is not as great as i see in vidros about s20+? Please help
Hi bro, can you share the wallpaper and the setup? Seriously sooo bloody cool bro. Thumbs up
With the security patches, I think that Samsung would actually test said patch before they release it. They're not like Apple or what Microsoft USED to be that just push out patches for the sake of it only to find out after the fact that it broke something critical. Also with the fingerprint scanner, as other CZcamsrs have pointed out before, register the same finger you plan on using more than once, with subsequent registrations varying the placement of said finger.
bro which launcher is this? it looks so good
czcams.com/video/b8JEOOxQKgE/video.html&t
If you register your fingerprint twice the in screen fingerprint sensor is a lot quicker
I just randomly refreshed my subscription page and this video popped up. It was only after a watch time of about 30s that i got a notification for this video. Either I was super fast to click, which is quite unlikely, or that the CZcams has developed yet another hiccup!
I have s20+ rn and watching this
After trying it for 3 weeks, what is your impression
Which launcher did you use on this video?
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 ?
This video just made me love my S20+ even more🖤, sticking with it for at least 2 years more.3 years of software update isn't bad at all
That wallpaper at the beginning?
Wallpaper is from Walli app. Search 'Ocean'. Your welcome.
@@ankitgondalia thanks man
Plz try turning the AOD on at its full brightness over the entire night. Battery% will come to 50 to 55% from 100% for sure.
Just got mine for around $650. The camera is very inconsistent. It can be amazing in one shot and poop in the other. The curved edge is still slightly annoying but nothing that will bother too much. The camera bump has never bothered me b4, u reaching in this video lol. it collects dust tho. But this is the fastest phone I've used android or apple. I can jump from pubg to cod to asphalt 9 and it never lags, keep them in the background and jump back to them and it's like I never left. I expected the battery to be better tho. Btw when u get it you'll have to do like 10 software updates. It's not a loop lol
What icon pack is that? You should do a customizing my Samsung Galaxy S20+ video showing how to get that style!
icon pack name is shinycons.
@@nikhilpatel0007 Can't find it
How did you make the phone look like that? With all the icons, widgets and the whole theme desgin? I love it.. pls holla back.
What's ur theme called would love to get it on my Galaxy S20
S20 Snapdragon version that is.
S20 Exynos on the other hand......
But the camera on the snapdragon is bad. The chip in the snapdragon is not like the exynos. I ratter buy one with a superb camera than a phone with snapdragon who hasn't. If i want i phone who's fast, i buy a oneplus.
@@mcl7882 mate, u don't know how bad a exynos version is until you use it.
@@lowzhiheng I have it and I love it
@@lowzhiheng agree with u man.. exynos is a total BS
Yes the exynos version has the worse battery I ve ever seen in a mobile .. Long live Huawei, i had Nova 5t then Mate 20 pro . They will never disappoint u battery wise .
Watching it on my s20 plus
LOVE your videos.
What is that car game???
Hi Zak how did you manage to change the colour on your first wallpaper? Thank you for still producing content during lockdown much appreciated 🙂
anyone knows which laucnher, icon pack and widgets are those?
Nice video 👌 I've got the S20 Ultra and I love rocking it without a case when I get home but it really is hard to hold on to and I get so many accidental touches. I love one UI though.
I have an S7 edge and I don't see why is the curved glass such a bad thing, like what's so bad about? I heard people complain about glare, never happened to me, bad screen protectors, never happened to me...
Just 2 years later now gonna snatch it up for $200
How do you set up that icon and widget layout??? I love it
cool wallpapers! where can I get them please?
My three issues with current Samsung phones.
1. No real-time network speed display (minor problem)
2. No schedule power on and off the phone.
3. Alarm clock will only work when the phone is turn on.
For 2. and 3., from what I heard, only the Chinese OEM still kept these features unlike the global version.
maybe people do not like the finger print reader because they do not know how to use it properly its an ultrasonic sensor so its not needed to press on it hard just a gentle tap and it unlocks even if your fingers are wet
Overall I love Samsung phone right now, especially for the software of courses I still prefer stock android most but for feature I love oneui.
Much better than my TouchWiz s5 lol
Nice arrangement of apps... is that a theme? Widget?
I'm paying about 25$ per month over two years with my contract. I keep my phones for as long as I can, or about 5 years. I just came to a 20+ from an S6, to give you an idea.
I get my worth out of them and this is a great value to performance ratio IMO. Amortized over my intended period of use will look like10$ a month. Even if I keep it for less time, I'd still be happy with the bottom line.
That ocean wallpaper looks more blue in the video than it does when you actually download it, it's more teal/green in colour!
Definitely, looks better in the video in my opinion
What app??
@@KrishnaSavji it's from the app called walli. Type in Ocean and you should find it.
No headphone Jack.... 😭😭😭😭 I've tried 23 of the best wireless earbuds from 100$ to 699$ and non can compete with wired earbuds
@Wavex i have, a cheap one, sounded great with wired plugs
Welcome to the family Zachary, you definitely deserve to be here.
I have the exynos variant, and I have no complaints. No hick-ups, no lag, nothing. Maybe the battery could be better, and no, its not bad by any means. It lasts the whole day easily with 120Hz enabled, but i still expected more. Like, if i use it intensively, i might need to plug it in later in the evening. Usually i dont, but it depends on my use, snapchat takes a huge chunk of battery, other apps not so much. Maybe its more snapchats fault than exynos's.
How about Snapchat video quality?
Any improvements... . :(
@@bulletproof3798 its not bad. But i think snapchat photo quality is actually really good compared to my last huawei
What themes are you using?
Don't agree with the price as going by MSRP is not a good way to justify the price. We all know that they kept the MSRP high as their competition, mostly iPhone 11 Pro series. In reality, they are always available at far cheaper price even now. Microsoft store, Amazon and other sites regularly offering sales where it is available below $1k mark. Also, they offer pretty solid exchange values.
1:01 I must be living in an alternate reality then, because over the last two weeks I've gotten to use the Google pixel 5, the Google pixel 4A 5g, and then the OnePlus Nord N100. all of them had software hiccups or stuttering and while it may not have been constant, it was still far from perfect.
Its because we tend to focus on just the one thing that is shown while the background is not in focus & in real life we see the phone as well as surroundings .. our focus shifts thats why grass is always greener on the other side
I need that case that shows a copy of the inner part of the back of the inside of the phone.
I'm planning to buy this phone next year when my warranty is up. So I found this very helpful.
I've had my S20 + for just short of a week and I really like this phone it's my very first Samsung. Thanks very good review!
I'm still not happy with my shitty exynos version. It's too slow for games. 🙄
hey, what's icon pack, wallpapers you installed on the phone
hey bro can you please the icon pack details and wallappers details
Anyone know the icon packs used?
Minimal-o
Which version is the Samsung phone in this video, the Exynos or the Snapdragon ??
Hello, can you please please post or give a link to your homescreen setup? They look beautiful on that display. Just wanna dress up my new to be delivered S20 plus like that 😀 Please link those wallpapers too especially the second and third one. Would really appreciate it! Thank you!
You can turn down face smoothing. It is on by default.
How did he customize the icons under the weather app? How is the home screen looking so different?
How's the Battery life on the s20? Does drain quick when watchin videos etc and does it get hot when playin games??
What's the name of that traffic control game at the end?
Does anyone else suffer that when the phone (s20 +) reaches 100% charge, does the screen turn off? the battery is not consumed but the screen remains off ... until the last update, it stays on, until we disconnect the charger from the phone.
Galaxy S20+ got a price drop here in our country but upon checking, it's the Exynos version. :(
Look man go for it the battery isn't amazing but its still good overall a big upgrade from my s9 and the camera is good I like the 120hz just get a portable charger.
People, help me ... I want to buy the S20 Plus, but there are some people who say that the cameras are bad and have many problems..My question is, has the company updated and processed the cameras about or not? Because I want to buy this phone, but I am confused and afraid of losing my money.😓
I've decided to get the plus fingers 🤞🏽 Note 9 as my backup phone I love that phone but I'll give the 20 plus a try!
How was it ?
Also would like to know. Love my note 9.
I paid $650 for mine. My phone is also unlocked and it's been on time with all updates. Never buying a "carrier" phone again.
Where did you get s20 plus for that price? Thanks
@Android Police what theme are you using on your phone
What app or launcher are you using to get the cool weather background and the icons?
czcams.com/video/b8JEOOxQKgE/video.html
thank you for including the bad things too!! everyone seems to just be praising the phone and I'm sure its good but at the same time some constructive criticism is good
Love all the wallpapers you've used. Please share the link
you guys have not realised the most important bad feature with this phone is that with this phone, YOU CAN NOT USE EARPHONES WHILE YOU ARE CHARGING!!
Any updates for Exynos users now? Does the software fixed the issues? Pls. need feedback im planning to buy the exynos one.
Color accuracy is still a problem in some situations. Sky is not natural, violet is wrong reproduced and some portraits are a little artificial not each time. Overall is a nice phone, I would not buy again at 900euros
Good review. Commonsense approach ! I subscribed.
Any launcher reconditions? I liked the old Google launcher and OnePlus ui. Also anything cool?
Zach, have you edited the wallpaper? Color looks different in walli...
What about the heating and back panel heavy vibrations on loud speaker/ video play.........
What's the icon pack ur using??
The performance,you must be using the Snapdragon version
0:34 how did you get your used apps to be like that?
Good lock I guess
I WANT to know It as well
You can try "Good Lock"
How can I get that weather widget? And how do I get my apps to look like how you have them
What is the weather app with all the icons/apps you got on your main screen?
D-Brand skins void your warranty according to an employee at Best Buy and someone I trust when it comes to phones. As for the case I had two for my Pixel 3 XL the first peeled away from the plastic chassis in around 6 months and the second one they shipped as a replacement did the same... D-Brand makes good skins but the only thing I will put them on is game consoles and my laptop.
my girlfriend thad the exynos version and the battery life was super bad even at 1080p 60hz. The phone was constantly hot and the camera focus was soo bad even with update that was supposed to fix it. She managed to return it. Disappointed with samsung this year. Now she has a note 10 and is working super great
How do you know which version your getting when ordering
