Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Mobile Phone; Sim Free Smartphone 128GB - Cosmic Grey, (UK Version)

Product Information

Behind the screen, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is mighty. Its Exynos 990 processor makes it smoother, faster and all round better than any Samsung smartphone that's come before. How good is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra battery? The answer is simply that you should go with the regular S20 if you want the S20 range while keeping things relatively affordable and the Ultra for just the all-round best device. S20 Ultra or the newer S21 Ultra: which is the better choice The rest of the internal specs are all top-of-the-line: a 7nm chipset (Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 in the US, or Samsung’s Exynos 990 in the UK and Europe), 12GB or 16GB or RAM, 128GB or 512GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

If you’re finding it hard to photograph fast moving scenes (like your kids running around) now you can take 33MP stills from your 8K recordings. The Ultra features a 40 MP front camera rather than the 10 MP on the other S20s. In addition to auto-HDR for high-contrast images, the camera captures 4K video at up to 60 fps. 108 MP Rear Camera

There’s still a curve on the right and left edges of the screens, though it’s much less pronounced compared to past S phones. Sadly, that doesn't mean fewer accidental presses of the nearly bezel-less screen – Samsung still doesn't have excellent palm rejection software, so when we touched the edges with our grip and tried to press the shutter button in the camera app, the phone constantly thought we were trying to activate multi-touch and zoom in, instead of performing single press of a button. Palm creep is very real on this phone. Plus, all models of the S20 have a microSD slot for expanding the storage by up to 1TB in case you do hit the built-in capacity. Proximity Sensor, Hall Effect Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope Sensor, Accelerometer (G-Sensor), Magnetometer, Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is both the more affordable and better spec of the two handsets. This arguably makes it the obvious choice of the two. The S20 Ultra does have smaller pixels at 0.8 microns, whereas the S20 and S20 Plus push the pixel size to 1.8 microns (up from the S10 series’ 1.4 microns). But there are two things going for the Ultra that should make up for those smaller microns.

The 48 MP telephoto lens delivers 10x hybrid optical zoom and 100x digital zoom supported by optical image stabilisation. Thanks to the high sensor resolution and folded-lens technology, the optical hybrid zoom is lossless. In video mode, the main lens captures 8K footage at up to 30 fps, supported by action-cam image stabilisation. Powerful PerformanceThe Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was launched in the UK on 13 March 2020. How much does the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra cost? Samsung’s One UI 2.0 software reskins Android 10 with a one-hand-friendly layout, with a lot of the menus items you need to touch appearing on the bottom half of the screen. Another perk is that Google Duo is now integrated directly in the dialer app – we were able to make Full HD video calls, and you can chat with up to eight people. To give you some storage requirement context, 8K video files will eat up just under 600MB for every minute of footage in the HEIC format (and every 8GB it’ll start a new file) – we say that just in case you’re deciding between the 128GB and 512GB versions of this phone. However, the the extra-large pictures do offer the ability to crop in without as much quality loss. It makes sense for the same reason recording 8K video is often a good idea even if you don’t own anything more than a 4K TV: you can crop and edit without sacrificing detail. It gives you creative latitude, even if you ultimately output to a 12MP photo and 1080p video.
