You are the first one that show what difference about depth sensor in practical photo shot. Really good for me to know which one should buy. Thank you! great job!!
Yeah that is interesting. From what I saw from the note + depth sensing, it didn't seem to help that dramatically. Caused me a bit of a rethink on base S20!
@@themaidenmaniac I revisited the topic and in another test, it the S20 was actually able to detect edges on some other objects, but not the Galaxy buds for me. It may be worth testing alongside the Note to see if the S20 is any worse
@@MikeOBrienMedia Thanks Mike!! Good news as the smaller form factor is more appealing to me. If I start thinking about the plus then will end up ultra'ing it I expect !!
So which is best? **UPDATE: The S20 can also blur the background in live view mode, but the depth sensor drastically helps the accuracy and as you could see in my test, sometimes the S20 regular is unable to find edges, thus resulting in a lack of blurred effect**
All 3 are great just depends on what you like. For people thats really into cameras and outdoor nature etc and wants a really solid camera and dont mind the size the ultra is great. For me not so much but i do want a bigger phone so the s10+ is what im thinking
I just played around with all 3 at a kiosk, and I was surprised how large the S20+ is in person. At first glance, I mistook it for the ultra. The S20 is a hair too small, but I think that's the one I'll end up getting. I'm coming from an S7, so it's still a massive jump for me.
Im switching to S20 4G from an iPhone 6s at the end of this month its a HUGE jump for me (and no 5G doesn’t cause coronavirus I just prefer 4G for some reason)
@@vikz823 When I went to get the S20, the guy said the 5G wasn't out yet for Verizon. I didn't realize that they were releasing it later, so I've held off since I'd rather have 5G. I've heard all the conspiracy theories that 5G gives you cancer - it's so laughable. I just read that the S20 5G will be coming probably next month, so I'll get one then. Unless the new Note 20 (August release) has the rumored under display selfie cam, then I might wait for that!
@@bikingchupei2447 Isn't that annoying? It doesn't seem like a natural progression in size if they were trying to make a small - medium - large series of models. I think both the + and ultra should have scaled down a step each.
Great video except for that battery comparison. Batteries behave different froma 100%to 80% and 80% to 10% really wish u tested them more thoroughly and with 120hz on and with it off with the resolution at 1440p. i know its a lot of work but, the battery and screen size is the main selling points of the 20+ would have been great to see a full comparison in a power user scenario. Regardless you got a sub, cheers!
Chris Humphries yeah bruh i had a50 that has 6’4 and it was enormous for me, i also tested a70 with 6’7 screen and that was too much it would be a two hand phone for me
I had the ultra for 2 weeks and returned it for the regular s20 much much easier to live with using it everyday and it doesn't feel like I have a brick in my pants
I saw s20 and s20 plus in store and the photos i made were looking a little different S20 plus was with warm tent and less sharp, s20-small size was a bit cooler tones and sharper
This test is dumb because 1% displayed by the phone isn't actually 1% as battery's don't have a linear way of measuring battery, it all depends on callibration. For example, iPhones can last hours on 99%, that's just because of calibration. If you do this again charge both batteties fully for a correct result.
Thanks so much for showing the difference and explaining about the depth sensor lens! I haven't found any reviewers showing pictures and explaining the differences in detail. Excellent review video!
Great vid - thanks! But you confused 'per cent' with 'percentage points' in the battery test. They both dropped 11 percentage points, but since they started on different values that means they didn't drop by the same amount. The S20+ dropped by 13.1%; the S20 by 11.6%. Not massive in a short test but might be more significant over a whole charge, depending on use. :-)
I recommend doing a battery test video between the two with different tasks. No one has done a full comparison with the s20 battery yet. Granted, that's not easy content to make (very time consuming). Even harder to do if you want to compare 120hz with 60hz battery test, but I would really appreciate it :)
Battery life is identical to the s10 on the s20. Im using 120 hz at all times and battery life is good but not amazing. Definitely need to charge up every night but this 120 hz is way worth it
I've got the S20 coming this week. I have been buying the larger model phones for years now; but, I consume media on a few devices now so I decided to go for the smaller model this time. It will be lighter and easy to carry around without much of a sacrifice in power and versatility.
Thanks for the video. Where I live they don't even have 5g for the s20, and it's costs around usd 850 while the s20plus has 5g and costs around 999 usd. I'm still unsure which phone to buy because I don't have really large hands. I currently have a s9 plus....
S20+ is so big!!! To big for my likening! I think its starting to hurt my back 😕 lol I want the S20 regular size... but I got the S20+... I was sold by the rep... my wrist hurts! I want smaller damn the rest!

amazing, super thorough review!! Still waiting for my S20+ to come in, had to get the cloud blue special ordered as its out of stock everywhere that works with my service provider. I actually returned my S20 in favour of the S20+ but its taken forever for that return to be processed so I've been watching S20+ videos to keep my enthusiasm for the phone up and this video was super helpful, helped solidify that I definitely prefer the S20+ to the S20. Cant wait for that larger screen to watch videos on
I tend to disagree Mike with your examples of the ear buds when you were talking about the ToF sensor. To me the edges of the subject and your hand were a lot sharper on the S20 without the sensor then on the S20+ with the ToF sensor, but then again that's just me. That being said, despite the size I would go for the S20+ myself.
Watching this on my Exynos S20. Upgraded from a OnePlus 6. From India and got the phone at about $750, with $50 of that being spent on a discounted pair of the Galaxy Buds+. Got $240 on exchange of the OnePlus 6 which was neat too. Loving it so far. Great phone all round.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the video. I know the s20+ also has bigger battery by 500mah. Do you think the usage time is the same because the 500mah went to compensate for the larger screen?
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 ?
Nice video 👍🏼 I've just ordered the Plus model purely because it has the same overall size of my Mate 20 Pro, I tried the S20 and it felt like a toy, I know it's not much different but it felt a lot in hand
I'm considering buying S20+ cause I'm currently using Huawei Mate 20X! I'm too used to huge ass phones (my previous phone is Xiaomi mimax lolol) that regular sized phones just feels weird!
I got the S20+ because of the bigger screen. I won't use the camera features as much as someone else,but I do like having a nice big screen to view media on. The S20 ultra was just too big, and thick for my taste. :)
Hi Mike. I have a galaxy s8 plus with att in the united states. If I buy a Galaxy s20 plus UNLOCKED from amazon US version, can I just transfer my sims card over to the new phone and will it work, or do I have to call att or make any other changes? thank you so much?
You're really trying to expose me here haha. I actually use two phones (one for personal and one for business). Currently, my personal phone is an S20+
Samsung - Galaxy S20 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) $949.99 and up. Samsung - Galaxy S20+ 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) 1,149.99 and up. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 1,349.99 and up it depends what cell provider you pick. as for as the battery left it depends on what yours doing
2 types of 5G. The ultra and plus can each operate on both types of 5G. The regular can only operate on the sub-6GHz 5G. To be clear, I'm not saying there are different S20+ models for the different types of 5G. I'm saying the plus accepts both bands of 5G while the regular does not
hi there I tested the S20 series at my phone retailer, switched the beauty effect off to take several photos with the main lens and teleportrait lens, the lighting was good however every detail was crushed down by some heavy processing, there was no detail on my wifés face, it looked oil painted like some heavy noise reduction was applied ! what's going on with this phone ?
I'm still happy with my S10+ No need to upgrade. After 2 years the battery is good. When it gets slower, i'll go to the Samsung service center and let set a new battery. The S10+ is for me the best device of all i had since 1996. I had over 100 devices, Many many Nokia,Sony Ericsson,LG4,LGV10,And when Symbian was finished,i went to the Samsung Galaxy line. S2,S3,Note3,Note3,S7edge,and now the S10+. The most complete device for me. Thanks for the video. Best regards from me Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱
While battery life might be pretty much the same on these models while using them actively, I expect the S20 plus to be better if you sometimes put the phone down and do something else than staring at it...
No microSD card slot the s20 with Verizon is a major, major downfall, whereas it is present on the +. I don't get why phones are shifting away from this, especially if the camera is important.
I've gone for the S20, coming from the S10 plus. The S10 plus was a big leap forward for Samsung but it always felt a little too big in my hand and pocket. S20 feels a lot smaller but the screen is only 0.2 inches smaller in reality. The form factor is important to me for usability. So far, so good.
Is the vibration motor a lot better in the Plus? Or the better question is, is the vibration motor on the S20 any good? Cause a bad vibration motor might be a deal breaker
I just tried them both out now and they feel the same to me. I normally have the vibration intensity maxed, but they are definitely decent for receiving notifications
I'm thinking of going to a 5G phone with Comcast Xfinity. I also believe I'm going to the s22 Plus! Thank you for your insights and I appreciate your efforts on our behalf!
Went from the note 8 to the base s20 and I'm looking it so far. I would've stayed with my note but I left it on my car after having it since release date. I love the 120hz, speakers, and battery life but I really miss my headphone jack and s-pen. I would've went note 10 but the 1080p display pushed me away. At least I no longer have the bixpy button. I have a hard time finding a case for the base s20 though, everywhere seems to only stock the other two.
In the past 6 months I went from an S10 to Pixel 6 Pro. Returned the Pixel Pro (felt cheap and was too large) then went to the S21 Ultra. Returned that as well for the same reasons as the Pixel and now have the regular S22, which I'm now returning. The Pixel 6 pro was too large, same for S21 Ultra. The regular S22 is too small, smaller battery and honestly I just don't care for the flat screen. IMO the S10 was the best phone made, S20 seems a tad better with bigger battery so as of 03.03.22 I bought the regular S20. The curved screens on the S10 and S22 cannot be beat, they feel wonderful in your hand and the screen oozes from side to side, absolutely love them. It's THE PERFECT SIZE phone.
Just to say that you do a terrific job reporting on this products. Besides you are easy on the eye, great voice, perfect body language. It actually make me wonder what you do for living. I could say a few more things but everyone can se them. Relax. My best wishes to you and also my prayers.
My S20 no plus no ultra just regular 👍🏽 is coming on Tuesday. Can't wait after having the S9 for 2 years it's time for a upgrade. To be honest my S9 is absolutely perfect no slow downs, no screen burn in, no scratches whatsoever, only downside was the battery it slightly degraded in the 2 years, honestly it was such a small battery capacity to start with being 3,000mAh so not bad, also I'm in Europe so we have the Exynos CPU & I found that just about everything ran on it from intensive games to apps, that few seconds of difference or 10-15 FPS difference in games won't effect me, saying that I still would prefer a Qualcomm CPU. Awesome informative video!
After years of Mason work I get hand cramps bad when I went into the store the ultra was way to big to hold and the plus was ok but after holding em all the s20 was my choice easy to operate and no cramping . Would like that 3d feature.
@@synop4538 Oh okay. They should add an option that allows lowing the refresh rate to 90hz for medium battery saving. Never will I go back to 60hz though
@@H3cTicBenj45 Yes I know, I've been trying it out in the shop. When you use the 120hz for 10 minutes and you then look back at your 60hz phone you see a world of a difference. I didn't expect to see it that much..
MMWave 5G in it’s current state is useless and without sub 6 and mid range it will always be useless do to the short wave and inability to stretch far front the antenna. Add to this that it will be 3-5 years till full deployment and the sub 6 especially if your carrier has it makes the most sense as of now. The Tof camera is nice but in the end barely worth 20 dollars let alone 200 more to the average user. Add to this the size and heft of the s20+ and not only will I be getting the s20 but I wager the fast majority of consumers will as well. If you’re a tech guy you will buy the ultra if you’re a person who wants a great phone you will buy the S20.
DETERMINOLOGY not even the same thing as it will take mmwave longer to be complete than people will keep this phone. An average phone is kept 2-3 years while it will take longer than that for mmwave to be widespread and useful
Very well done. I appreciate the way you did the review. I agree with the comment Andy Su made in that you are the first to take out the time to point out the differences beyond the size and to explain what they are and how they might apply to the person purchasing the S10 or the S10+.
New subscriber here too! I am leaning towards the S20+ as when I had the S10 I really wanted it to be slightly bigger (but didn't like the larger camera cutout on the S10+) Off to Telus tomorrow to see what they can suggest (and to hold a demo unit of each)
Get the S20 guys. 5G is not standard on all carriers yet so there's no point in getting a 5G phone yet. You can save yourself money or even cheaper, get the S10
@@kippetjes4 5G is not the only difference but it's the main difference in comparison to the other Samsung phones... And no it actually will take a long time for 5G to be available on all carriers and have coverage everywhere just like when 4G was released

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 ?
Just pre-ordered my Samsung s20+ in cosmic black. Cant wait! Upgrading from an S8
Damn your lucky I'm stuck with my s7 for a while
@@Bigbiceps301 I just upgraded to the S20+ from my S4.
Nice video 👍🏼 I've just ordered the Plus model purely because it has the same overall size of my Mate 20 Pro, I tried the S20 and it felt like a toy, I know it's not much different but it felt a lot in hand
I'm considering buying S20+ cause I'm currently using Huawei Mate 20X! I'm too used to huge ass phones (my previous phone is Xiaomi mimax lolol) that regular sized phones just feels weird!
I got the S20+ because of the bigger screen. I won't use the camera features as much as someone else,but I do like having a nice big screen to view media on. The S20 ultra was just too big, and thick for my taste. :)
Hi Mike. I have a galaxy s8 plus with att in the united states. If I buy a Galaxy s20 plus UNLOCKED from amazon US version, can I just transfer my sims card over to the new phone and will it work, or do I have to call att or make any other changes? thank you so much?
Hey Mike! What type of phone do you actually use in your personal life? Team iPhone or Samsung?
You're really trying to expose me here haha. I actually use two phones (one for personal and one for business). Currently, my personal phone is an S20+
@@MikeOBrienMedia wow, light flex. But I'm proud you're on Team Samsung!! woot woot!!
Do the GPS on these phone work yet?? There are a lot of people complaining that the gps on these phone crap out! NO DOT BUY until this is resolved
Hey Mike very informative, thanks? I use Verizon so will they eventually carry the S20, that's the one I like?
They will, the delay is because they wanted to sell them with 5G capabilities.
Great video Mike! Does the plus model is uncomfortable in the pocket? Does it pops out? It looks very tall!
I would like to have s20 in black. Probably, I will wait until summer before i buy it with the hope that they will release the black one.
me too
can you plzz also Compare S20+ And note 10+. Nobody Is Doing That I Dont know why although note 10+ Is Best Competition of new S Series
Hmm... excellent idea. I might be able to do that in the future
@@MikeOBrienMedia Yeah Thanks Man. You Got A New Sub Though 😊
Samsung - Galaxy S20 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) $949.99 and up. Samsung - Galaxy S20+ 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) 1,149.99 and up. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 1,349.99 and up it depends what cell provider you pick. as for as the battery left it depends on what yours doing
2 types of 5G. The ultra and plus can each operate on both types of 5G. The regular can only operate on the sub-6GHz 5G. To be clear, I'm not saying there are different S20+ models for the different types of 5G. I'm saying the plus accepts both bands of 5G while the regular does not
Finally a worth my time video about s20
I come from the S6, and i'm super happy with the S20plus.
Is the size of the + too big to handle with one hand say if you are driving for example ??
Any issue? I'm considering to purchase s20 with £250 off! But I am still in doubt due to heating and battery issue
damn Im lucky to watch your review about the 5G, I definetely gonna get the 20+ because of 5G alone
I am glad the video helped you! Enjoy your new phone!
If your with Verizon the S20 comes out around May and will be 5g ** only Verizon is doing this don't know why
Won't have mmwave for years in most places. Sub-6 will be what the vast majority will use anyway.
Great review! Where can I get that wallpaper on the s20?
hi there I tested the S20 series at my phone retailer, switched the beauty effect off to take several photos with the main lens and teleportrait lens, the lighting was good however every detail was crushed down by some heavy processing, there was no detail on my wifés face, it looked oil painted like some heavy noise reduction was applied ! what's going on with this phone ?
Thank you so much, very simple and clear. I'm buying a galaxy S 20 plus, pink colour
😍 🤗
Im getting the S20+ when the black friday sales hits
Same here, getting a little impatient still running a small iPhone 8
I am getting that s20 waiting for black friday sale.
Guys how is the battery
Nice video, the background blur sample images for s20 and + got missed up , u may want to swap the positions.
You can take blur pictures with almost any phone. Point at something with the camera and then tap on a corner of the screen
I'm still happy with my S10+
No need to upgrade. After 2 years the battery is good. When it gets slower, i'll go to the Samsung service center and let set a new battery.
The S10+ is for me the best device of all i had since 1996.
I had over 100 devices,
Many many Nokia,Sony Ericsson,LG4,LGV10,And when Symbian was finished,i went to the Samsung Galaxy line. S2,S3,Note3,Note3,S7edge,and now the S10+.
The most complete device for me. Thanks for the video. Best regards from me Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱
While battery life might be pretty much the same on these models while using them actively, I expect the S20 plus to be better if you sometimes put the phone down and do something else than staring at it...
Think so too
Adding some camera demonstration would be great
Can you also please compare pics from S20/S20+ with S20 Ultra?
I have a note 10+5g and my next phone is definitely going to be a smaller phone, I love a big phone but I'd just like it to fit in my hands better
No microSD card slot the s20 with Verizon is a major, major downfall, whereas it is present on the +. I don't get why phones are shifting away from this, especially if the camera is important.
I've gone for the S20, coming from the S10 plus. The S10 plus was a big leap forward for Samsung but it always felt a little too big in my hand and pocket. S20 feels a lot smaller but the screen is only 0.2 inches smaller in reality. The form factor is important to me for usability. So far, so good.
Which do you think is the better choice, the S10 or the S10 plus? I don't mind paying more for the S10 plus if it is better.
Also does the screen look worst on the S10 plus since the pixel density got reduced?
@@d.d2062just get the s10+ 5G it’s better
I need this kinda comparison for the s20+ and ultra... Great work
Is the vibration motor a lot better in the Plus? Or the better question is, is the vibration motor on the S20 any good? Cause a bad vibration motor might be a deal breaker
I just tried them both out now and they feel the same to me. I normally have the vibration intensity maxed, but they are definitely decent for receiving notifications
@@MikeOBrienMedia that's odd because the S20+ has a completely different vibration motor but I guess that's a good thing
In deed helpful.. I've always been going for the pro or plus version of phones lately.. But now I probably won't. Regular s20 is good enough for me.
In your opinion. Would you recommend upgrade from the s10 plus to the s20 plus. I'm a gamer. Not interested in camera.
The 120 hz refresh rate is something to look for
Nope! Don't do it! Upgrade next year
I'm thinking of going to a 5G phone with Comcast Xfinity. I also believe I'm going to the s22 Plus! Thank you for your insights and I appreciate your efforts on our behalf!
Watching it on m'y s20+ SUch amazone quality
How is the battery
Went from the note 8 to the base s20 and I'm looking it so far. I would've stayed with my note but I left it on my car after having it since release date. I love the 120hz, speakers, and battery life but I really miss my headphone jack and s-pen. I would've went note 10 but the 1080p display pushed me away. At least I no longer have the bixpy button. I have a hard time finding a case for the base s20 though, everywhere seems to only stock the other two.
In the past 6 months I went from an S10 to Pixel 6 Pro. Returned the Pixel Pro (felt cheap and was too large) then went to the S21 Ultra. Returned that as well for the same reasons as the Pixel and now have the regular S22, which I'm now returning. The Pixel 6 pro was too large, same for S21 Ultra. The regular S22 is too small, smaller battery and honestly I just don't care for the flat screen. IMO the S10 was the best phone made, S20 seems a tad better with bigger battery so as of 03.03.22 I bought the regular S20. The curved screens on the S10 and S22 cannot be beat, they feel wonderful in your hand and the screen oozes from side to side, absolutely love them. It's THE PERFECT SIZE phone.
Just to say that you do a terrific job reporting on this products. Besides you are easy on the eye, great voice, perfect body language. It actually make me wonder what you do for living. I could say a few more things but everyone can se them. Relax. My best wishes to you and also my prayers.
Hi Mike what size is a Samsung Galaxy s20+5G screen size having trouble finding a case
My S20 no plus no ultra just regular 👍🏽 is coming on Tuesday. Can't wait after having the S9 for 2 years it's time for a upgrade.
To be honest my S9 is absolutely perfect no slow downs, no screen burn in, no scratches whatsoever, only downside was the battery it slightly degraded in the 2 years, honestly it was such a small battery capacity to start with being 3,000mAh so not bad, also I'm in Europe so we have the Exynos CPU & I found that just about everything ran on it from intensive games to apps, that few seconds of difference or 10-15 FPS difference in games won't effect me, saying that I still would prefer a Qualcomm CPU. Awesome informative video!
Hi, could you give an update? I still have my s9 and I really need to upgrade my battery is horrible. Is the s20 a good choice?
After years of Mason work I get hand cramps bad when I went into the store the ultra was way to big to hold and the plus was ok but after holding em all the s20 was my choice easy to operate and no cramping . Would like that 3d feature.
Thankyou so much for making the video ❤️. You did a great job man
Can you do a more extensive battery test between them
S20plus cloud blue coming to me on the first week of april.. thanks for the information.. ☺
Watching from my S20+
Do you like it?
I love it
Ralph Cobarrubias How is your battery life?
Is it potentially and phisically possible for a 120hz display to be lowered to 90hz through a software update?
If I'm not mistaken the S20 series automatically switches to 90hz when it detects lower activity.
@@synop4538 Oh okay. They should add an option that allows lowing the refresh rate to 90hz for medium battery saving. Never will I go back to 60hz though
@@H3cTicBenj45 Yes I know, I've been trying it out in the shop. When you use the 120hz for 10 minutes and you then look back at your 60hz phone you see a world of a difference. I didn't expect to see it that much..
MMWave 5G in it’s current state is useless and without sub 6 and mid range it will always be useless do to the short wave and inability to stretch far front the antenna. Add to this that it will be 3-5 years till full deployment and the sub 6 especially if your carrier has it makes the most sense as of now. The Tof camera is nice but in the end barely worth 20 dollars let alone 200 more to the average user. Add to this the size and heft of the s20+ and not only will I be getting the s20 but I wager the fast majority of consumers will as well.
If you’re a tech guy you will buy the ultra if you’re a person who wants a great phone you will buy the S20.
Remember when they said 1080p was useless then it became mainstream? Same with MMwave5G
DETERMINOLOGY not even the same thing as it will take mmwave longer to be complete than people will keep this phone. An average phone is kept 2-3 years while it will take longer than that for mmwave to be widespread and useful
@@AndreaMaietta im from the netherlands and 5g is basicly next to ready to go here.
Nanide which bands ?
@@AndreaMaietta its new real 5g. 700 mhz frequency. Not mmwave sub6.
Very well done. I appreciate the way you did the review. I agree with the comment Andy Su made in that you are the first to take out the time to point out the differences beyond the size and to explain what they are and how they might apply to the person purchasing the S10 or the S10+.
Thanks! I am glad to hear that you liked the video!
The s20 and s20+ should have everything same, only difference should be size and batteries.
New subscriber here too! I am leaning towards the S20+ as when I had the S10 I really wanted it to be slightly bigger (but didn't like the larger camera cutout on the S10+)
Off to Telus tomorrow to see what they can suggest (and to hold a demo unit of each)
The colors on the S10 series were a lot better, the only real nice color here is the Aura Blue which is not even available in my country.
S20+ hands down..
Forget the ultra..
Thanks you a lot Mike now i know what phone should i pick .is the s20+ because I use to play games like pubg
Great choice. Enjoy your new phone!
Got the Galaxy s20 cloud blue. Best vfm.
Any issue? I'm considering to purchase s20 with £250 off! But I am still in doubt due to heating and battery issue
@@DLSAKAS its a really amazing device. Justifies the price tag well enough. I have no complaints so far
@@pujyatalukdarjr7301 are you using SD
BRO, not 1.5 GB/s download speed on mmwave! Learn the difference between bits and bytes. 8 bits is 1 byte. The speed you meant to say is 1.5 gbps.
watch 2x speed :)
Get the S20 guys. 5G is not standard on all carriers yet so there's no point in getting a 5G phone yet. You can save yourself money or even cheaper, get the S10
As if 5g is the only difference. And it wont take too long for 5g to be coverd everywhere, especially in smaller countrys
@@kippetjes4 5G is not the only difference but it's the main difference in comparison to the other Samsung phones... And no it actually will take a long time for 5G to be available on all carriers and have coverage everywhere just like when 4G was released
