There seems to be an anti-ultra movement on the internet. Lots of these comments are saying the same thing you are; that they are sick of the ultra reviews and want to see a phone they are actually likely to buy
@@MikeOBrienMedia Spending 1400$ on a phone isn't good idea, even if you're rich. At the end its all about materials and specs. I hate camera reviews on phones. Cause if you can spend 1000$ on a phone, buy a real DSLR camera. Smartphones can never replace true DSLR cameras.
The "lowest" model of the S20 lineup... so what are your thoughts on this one? Any features you wish it had? Any features you are really excited that it does have?
I do not really care about the headphone jack to be honest. I never charged my phone and listened to music at the same time. I wish they gave at least the Plus the crazy zoom. But I feel like even the "normal"phone is the jack of all trades. You get everything that is available on the market right now. No cost cuts anywhere on the phone. I do not see why everyone compares the Ultra to the IPhone 11Pro, this Phone is comparable with that phone ez, and beats it in my humble opinion.
Yeah I know some people get upset about the headphone jack, but I really don't anymore. As someone who reviews lots of wireless earbuds, I can't remember the last time I plugged something into that port
@@julianstark9483 Yes! This is an actual intelligent comment. Comparing the galaxy s20 to the iphone 11 is a joke tbh. Iphone 11 is basically a lite version while this isn't.
for those who actually used ultrasonic and optical as daily, its a bit of a headache (for a number of reasons) relative to the cheaper....faster....more responsive...better positioned side/rear capacitive FPR sensors
@@ICeyCeR3Al I understand that. I like the rear placement of the S9 I have currently have. Going to take some getting used to putting my thumb on the front.
Holy thank god subbed to your channel just because your reviewing the s20 and not the ultra...............so sick of the ultra reviews, some people don’t want giant ass phones or care about 100x zoom
I got my normal S20 in Canada yesterday. I definitely agree with your review so far, but I feel like the smoothness of this 120Hz screen can't be overstated! It's soooo good! I tried switching to QHD+ 60Hz but it just doesn't compare to 120Hz, FHD+ or not.. Also, getting this phone on contract isn't that expensive when you consider the value of the Galaxy Buds+ that they throw into the pre-order! Comes out to $880 CAD over two years if you deduct the price of the Buds+.
I'm definitely getting the regular S20. To me it's a considerable upgrade to my S10+. I want a smaller device as well. So this fits the ticket. Gonna swap em.
Definitely the perfect phone for you then. Phones keep getting bigger, but there is definitely something nice about a smaller phone. It is easier to hold and navigate with one finger, fits more nicely in pockets, and always fits in the car phone holders haha
@@urekmazino6800 oh definitely....I mean....for this little guy to have 4,000 mAh and 12 Gigs of RAM is crazy....SD 865, still DEX capable.....smh....I think the S20 is the only S Series device actually worth the price tag. No offense to the people getting the 20+ or the 20 Ultra....but that's just my opinion.
This was my exact reasoning to switch from s10+. It's day 2 and I'm loving the size of the s20. It's considerably slimmer. What happened though is the aspect ration changed just a much and it's a pain in the butt with bigggg black banners on the screen when watching videos not shot for this aspect ration.
I saw on Samsung official site last week. They lowered it plus they were doing a sale a lot of the s10 were sold out. So something tells me they might of went up..
That is kind of what I am thinking as well. As much as I love the plus, I am recommending this to my friends and relatives who are asking about this phone lineup
Mike O'Brien which one do you think will sell the least, the Plus or Ultra..I would say the plus..either ppl will go cheap and get the regular one or go for broke and go with the ultra..the way phone carries do it now, your leasing the phone so they won’t mind having for awhile
Tbh I am not really on a budget but I preordered this anyway because of the size. I don't want a huge screen, so this size is just perfect, especially since I'm upgrading from the galaxy s8.
@@Echo.k i am also going to buy S20 only . S20+ and ultra are huge. I will not be able to carry it properly in my pocket as I have other stuff also. Samsung should stop making so huge phone. Maximum 6.5 inch is enough.
You got a new sub from me. You did what a lot of people wanted (not all those S20+/Ultea videos.....) and I think you deserve way more subs. thank you for this great video I'm definitely getting the regular S20 😌
Great video and just what I was looking for since I'll be using this as my next personal phone and the phone to film my watch reviews. My S8 has served me well but it's time give it to my son to use and abuse. You didn't go too in-depth and talk about aperture, shutter speed & other crap that 99% of us don't care about. I'm also glad you reviewed the "base" S20 instead of the plus and/or ultra even though as you said this is a $1000.00 phone and there's nothing entry level about it. As a creator myself it takes a lot for someone to earn my sub and you have. Great work brother!
Hi @Mike O'Brien, I wanted to positively comment you on an excellent review. It was informative, straight to the point, raising things a potential buyer might want to know and on top of that some excellent camera work with excellent video shots of the phone. You've done an excellent job at communicating across what the device looks like and what it's capabilities are, while at the same time remaining unbiased. I realize in the US the regular Galaxy S20 launched only in the G5 version with a price tag of 999 USD, however in the UK we got a cheaper 4G Galaxy S20 at 800 GBP (in USD about the same but hey we always get to pay more). This may be the case in other markets as well, so the only thing I would add in your review is making this comment that in other markets there may be a cheaper option. Other than that, well done for an excellent review. You deserve more subscribers, which I am sure is to come if you keep up this good work. Take care and thanks for seeing something refreshing out there.
Great review! My friend (who btw has had iphones his whole life and now I'm converting him) is about upgrade from his iphone 7 and buy this tomorrow! Trying to know all I can so I can help ease his transition. I already know most the info on the phones bc I live and breath tech but definitely got some good new info from this vid👍
Nice! That is a a huge transition!! He will be overwhelmed with specs and power, but that is very exciting. I hope he enjoys his new phone. Thanks for watching!
@@stach121289 Sweet! I'm still waiting for the Note 20 to release, and then will decide. Might also wait for the S21 as I heard there will be many more improvements, and I'm not in a rush
@@joeyross1960 Yup, it's a really good phone...had it for over 3 years now. Would be almost 4 by the time the S21 comes out. Just lately it's been draining quicker and charging slower so in several months it's def time for a change.
I love the Samsung flagship phones just for their excellent display quality. The average user doesn't really care for the camera quality as cameras have been pretty good for past 2 years
Mike just to say I just subscribed but not because of your Samsung review. I disagree with what you're saying as there is no way this phone is worth that kind of money. Everything else then follows. However, have i enjoyed your presentations around watches. ABSOLUTLY. Further I like the way you present. You have one of the nicest presentation styles I've seen. Clear and humble; smart and good analysis (except for the phones) you're style of presentation is very enjoyable. You'd make a very good news guy.
You don't get a 29% discount, you are selling your S9+ for only 290.... Wait 3 months, get the S20 for 699, sell your s9 for 299 and pay only 400 ! A 60% "discount" ...
I am also upgrading from s9 plus. It's an awesome upgrade. Trade in bonus is great if you dont wanna bother with selling it on your own. I've seen s9 plus go ebay for under 300. Plus you still have to take out fees and shipping. So trust that the 300 off now is not bad to enjoy new tech off the bat. Also nothing wrong with waiting. Stock s20 will be re released later this year with mmw
@@YogitheYogaBear No 5G where I live, so it doesn't matter. But I'm leaning towards waiting for some more time and see if the price drops. Considering the low sales due to coronavirus, it may come early.
@@dheerajsp yeah nothing wrong with waiting. I was going to wait a year to save money but after holding it in store and finding it on ebay for 750 I bought it xD
Great video. Nice to see a review of the standard S20. It's annoying that here in the UK we get lumbered with the Exynos processor, and you get more colours in the US! Here we've only got the blue and the pink and the grey in the standard S20. I think it sucks that our market gets less colours and throttled performance, Samsung really ought to consider some continuity with their phones, Apple release the same spec phone over all the markets, can't see why Samsung can't. My experience with the Note 10 was lousy, I've pre ordered the pink S20 and I'm hoping it's significantly better!
I'm happy with my s20+ decision with the larger battery and extra camera and the bigger screen as upgrading from the s9 with 3200mah or 3300mah, I'm really noticing I'm not getting a full day anymore with the s9.
Great review of the S20! Mine’s due in a couple of days as I’ve at last jumped ship from the iPhone. Its all down to Samsung’s camera versatility for stills and video! Cheers!
Nigel Harper what iPhone did you leave from? I have the 11 Pro non max and I’m getting this phone early next week. Giving it a try for sure!! Trading in my girls iPhone 11 and getting $600 off. She will take my 11 Pro lol
I'm planning on getting one of these, getting it free by switching to Sprint. I think it looks like a great phone and free can't be beaten. Great review BTW and I just subscribed.
To be clear, the two more expensive models have this as well as mm wave. The longer range of low frequency 5G is certainly very beneficial. Depending on which carrier you have, it also might be your only option
Trust me! You will be shocked by the s20 and also will be disappointed quite a lot too ( especially if you are invested into the apple ecosystem ), also it won't get more than 2 years of updates and the video performance is pretty average when compared to the 11 pro ( battery life is only decent in the regular s20 ), but you get an amazing display, a great set of cameras, 25W fast charging,etc., It's your choice and be careful with what you want and what you would choose
10:20 You and every other samsung user with OneUI need to go into the home screen settings to enable "swipe down for notification panel" I'm not sure why Sammy doesn't provide this feature out of the box but it's still nice that it's there. Also, enable the brightness slider control by going into Panel Layout in your quick settings so that the brightness slider control shows upon the first swipe down.
Finally a video about the regular s20! Thanks for doing this. Now, based on what I've seen here and other videos, I don't think the photos of the s20 are that good. =\
Genius... I think that would be amazing. It makes me want to get a software engineering degree, get a job at Samsung, make that change, release the update, and then quit
I have an a71 and my friends was like "yoo this guy has that s20 wtff" and i said "yeah y'all broke dudes don't talk to me" 😂😂 (The a71 looks amazingly like the s20)
More reasons to stay with my S10. I like the position of the punch hole on the right side and the HEADPHONE JACK. I own a lot of different headphones so a headphone jack is a must for me.
Awesome review! I was skeptical on getting the Plus or the base S20, but your review convinced me the S20 is the way to go. I don't see .4 inches being worth the extra $200 when I already have the Tab S6 for movies and stuff at home. Thank you!
Awesome review Mike, Definitely considering buying this devise maybe 4 months from now when the price will drop. What your thoughts about having the 256G memory with all the updates down the road ? ? ?
Never knew that Nate's brother had a tech channel! I have an iPhone 6s+ that I'll be trading in for the S20. The price just goes down to about 700$ along with education discounts.
Had mine just over a week now, coming from a Huwaei P20 Pro. I agree about getting used to the finger print sensor but other than that very happy with the phone.
I'm debating on whether to get the s20 or the plus variant. Went and saw both of them in store a few days ago, I felt that the regular s20's screen was slightly on the smaller size especially considering its tall aspect ratio which means watching content with black bars, thus the extra screen size on the plus would definitely be nice. I also found the s20 to be too light in weight imo, I like when a phone feels a bit heavy, it gives a premium feeling. Btw, an advantage for the s20 over the plus is that when you have both phones in 120hz mode the regular model is sharper at 1080p due to the smaller screen (higher pixel density)
I went to the store today to see it and it looks so cheap and slim for a phone that costs 1000 dollars. It doesn't stand out in any way, it looks like the A51 and I don't want to spend that much money on a phone that looks like a midranger. I love how the iphone's back stands out, there's no mistaking it. Also this was my first time seeing a 120 hz display IRL and frankly it's not some groundbreaking feature as most reviewers made me believe it is, hell I had to switch between 60 and 120 hz multiple times just to notice that tiny difference when scrolling slowly because if you're scrolling fast they look the same. So the S20 offers nothing more than the S10 except there's no mistaking the S10 for a midranger from the back😂
This is something me and my friends have been talking around for a while🤣🤣 and more than 60hz on mobiles is bullshit only the ui is capable of giving 120fps everything else is 60
If the regular S20 had the mmWave 5G, I'd be all in on it. I live/work in the middle of a big city, so it would have some utility. I might still buy the regular S20 anyway, cause there are probably not that many scenarios where I need 100+ mb/s speeds. OTOH, there are expected to be more and more apps utilizing high-end 5G speeds coming on line. As mentioned in the review, the processors, memory, etc. are the same as the Plus and Ultra models, and I don't need (and most people don't need) the ridiculous camera specs offered by the Ultra, although it might feel good to have.
Yeah finally a S20 video. I was waiting for it for the battery life review! Good news I guess but my question is do you tried with 60 hz and 120hz? How much does it impact the battery?
Just upgraded from my S8+ and so happy I did. Almost identical in size..Waited a little bit and got it on sale for $719 ($811 after tax) and have no regrets after waffling between the idea of S20+ prior to purchase.. If you're reading this and contemplating finally upgrading from an s8 or s8+ (still a good phone no doubt) DO IT!
Great review, Mike! Happy to hear about Samsung’s extended support too. What do you think about the upcoming Pixel 5/4a 5G? Is the S20 better? Which would you choose? Thanks!
THANK YOU for being the only person who reviewed the S20
You are quite welcome :) Thanks for watching!!
He's not the only one. They're about 4 other reviews on S20
@@klynch572 yeah out of about 2000 reviews of the S20 plus and the S20 ultra 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah that was exactly my goal for this video! I'm glad you liked this video!
Exactly... couldn’t agree more!!
Fat phones?

My experience with the Note 10 was lousy, I've pre ordered the pink S20 and I'm hoping it's significantly better!
I'm happy with my s20+ decision with the larger battery and extra camera and the bigger screen as upgrading from the s9 with 3200mah or 3300mah, I'm really noticing I'm not getting a full day anymore with the s9.
Definitely a solid pick there. Enjoy your new phone! It is certainly a very powerful one
My S9 drains quick. Excellent phone but i think I'll jump ship from Samsung. The battery life seems to always be an issue.
Me neither I got 6 hours battery
Dope review Mike
Thank you!
@@MikeOBrienMedia i hope your sub count jacks up pretty soon
Great review of the S20! Mine’s due in a couple of days as I’ve at last jumped ship from the iPhone. Its all down to Samsung’s camera versatility for stills and video! Cheers!
Nigel Harper what iPhone did you leave from? I have the 11 Pro non max and I’m getting this phone early next week. Giving it a try for sure!! Trading in my girls iPhone 11 and getting $600 off. She will take my 11 Pro lol
TXguy82 Hi, I’m jumping from an iPhone 7 Plus, so on the camera side, it will be a significant improvement, I hope? Cheers!
I'm planning on getting one of these, getting it free by switching to Sprint. I think it looks like a great phone and free can't be beaten. Great review BTW and I just subscribed.
So glad someone made a s20 only review. As for the Sub 6 5G, I prefer this. 20% faster than my 4G and coverage longer range than mm.
To be clear, the two more expensive models have this as well as mm wave. The longer range of low frequency 5G is certainly very beneficial. Depending on which carrier you have, it also might be your only option
Satisfying statement: High brightness watching UA-cam, lasted 10hours. So satisfying
I was an absolute apple loyalist for 10 years! No more next week I’m getting this can’t wait! 😄
That's 10 years of your life you will never get back.
Trust me! You will be shocked by the s20 and also will be disappointed quite a lot too ( especially if you are invested into the apple ecosystem ), also it won't get more than 2 years of updates and the video performance is pretty average when compared to the 11 pro ( battery life is only decent in the regular s20 ), but you get an amazing display, a great set of cameras, 25W fast charging,etc., It's your choice and be careful with what you want and what you would choose
I have the iPhone 11 and I want to switch android it’s not a bad phone in any means but androids customisation is beast
Aron Williams one of the mine reasons I ordered an S20 I’m not the most technologically advanced of people but hearts it’s quite accessible
I see that the s20 is worth it and it's going to be popular phone in many countries thanks to your review I decided to say that
You did a great job💯. Awesome review...
Thank you for giving some presious informations..hope you will upload a costomised s20 video out there.
You sir pick the correct model to review and what a nice review ! U have my "join" !
Thank you!
10:20 You and every other samsung user with OneUI need to go into the home screen settings to enable "swipe down for notification panel" I'm not sure why Sammy doesn't provide this feature out of the box but it's still nice that it's there. Also, enable the brightness slider control by going into Panel Layout in your quick settings so that the brightness slider control shows upon the first swipe down.
Finally a video about the regular s20! Thanks for doing this. Now, based on what I've seen here and other videos, I don't think the photos of the s20 are that good. =\
I don't think you specified, but did you get 10 hours of on-screen time at the 120Hz setting?
Samsung should just make a 3rd option for WQHD at 90hz that'd be still good 👍
Genius... I think that would be amazing. It makes me want to get a software engineering degree, get a job at Samsung, make that change, release the update, and then quit
Mike O'Brien 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u funny man

@@ohoh6902 what
5:12 so those work for the phone? Also, does the phone come with that cable which allows us to move our data from a phone to the new one?
Yeah there is a usb c to c cable included for the charger you could use that
I just switched from the One Plus 7 Pro about a month. I absolutely love the size, software and IP rating and W charging.
It's an amazing phone!
Excellent looks like a worthwhile upgrade from my S9. Perfect screen size for me, great camera. Roll on upgrade in August 😀
Great review..ur rilli looking for drawbacks!!
Thanks. It is a great phone overall so the drawbacks were small, but still important to mention
When saw the regular s20 In the thumbnail. I clicked so fast
I'm expecting a full comparison video between S20 and S20+....
Will there be anything like this soon?
Yes there will be!!
Thank you buddy!
I have an a71 and my friends was like "yoo this guy has that s20 wtff" and i said "yeah y'all broke dudes don't talk to me" 😂😂
(The a71 looks amazingly like the s20)
I bought the plus ➕ coming from an lgstylo5 and Holy Cow the difference is amazing
Finally a full review
Yep! That was exactly what I was going for. Lots of unboxings and photo comparisons but I wanted to give an in-depth review
Is s20 worth purchasing over s10+ note 10
Great review! Looking forward to seeing the S20/S20+ comparison 👍🏾
Omg... Thx for that Review! All other channels just have the Ultra.
Thanks for watching!!
Hey. Thanks for the review. Can you tell me where I can find the wallpaper?
Just got this phone about a month ago. It's amazing and the best price for the s20 line
More reasons to stay with my S10. I like the position of the punch hole on the right side and the HEADPHONE JACK. I own a lot of different headphones so a headphone jack is a must for me.
Awesome review! I was skeptical on getting the Plus or the base S20, but your review convinced me the S20 is the way to go. I don't see .4 inches being worth the extra $200 when I already have the Tab S6 for movies and stuff at home. Thank you!
Awesome review Mike, Definitely considering buying this devise maybe 4 months from now when the price will drop. What your thoughts about having the 256G memory with all the updates down the road ? ? ?
Never knew that Nate's brother had a tech channel! I have an iPhone 6s+ that I'll be trading in for the S20. The price just goes down to about 700$ along with education discounts.
Thank You For You To Take The Time For The Review.
Had mine just over a week now, coming from a Huwaei P20 Pro. I agree about getting used to the finger print sensor but other than that very happy with the phone.
Awesome review keep it up as always
Thank you so much!
@@MikeOBrienMedia welcome i have subscriber to you're channel now tomorrow am getting mine S20 regular
Really enjoyed this video. Great presentation and quality.
offtopic but why he looking like a male version of Kristin Stewart LMAO
I'm debating on whether to get the s20 or the plus variant. Went and saw both of them in store a few days ago, I felt that the regular s20's screen was slightly on the smaller size especially considering its tall aspect ratio which means watching content with black bars, thus the extra screen size on the plus would definitely be nice. I also found the s20 to be too light in weight imo, I like when a phone feels a bit heavy, it gives a premium feeling. Btw, an advantage for the s20 over the plus is that when you have both phones in 120hz mode the regular model is sharper at 1080p due to the smaller screen (higher pixel density)
Its amazing how far we ve advanced since 2000 with phones x
I have the S9+.. I want the s10 or s20? What is better??
S20
Thanks for review. I pre-ordered in Sweden. Hope we get the Buds included.
Just picked one up through att. Cosmic Grey. Love it
I went to the store today to see it and it looks so cheap and slim for a phone that costs 1000 dollars. It doesn't stand out in any way, it looks like the A51 and I don't want to spend that much money on a phone that looks like a midranger. I love how the iphone's back stands out, there's no mistaking it. Also this was my first time seeing a 120 hz display IRL and frankly it's not some groundbreaking feature as most reviewers made me believe it is, hell I had to switch between 60 and 120 hz multiple times just to notice that tiny difference when scrolling slowly because if you're scrolling fast they look the same. So the S20 offers nothing more than the S10 except there's no mistaking the S10 for a midranger from the back😂
This is something me and my friends have been talking around for a while🤣🤣 and more than 60hz on mobiles is bullshit only the ui is capable of giving 120fps everything else is 60
If the regular S20 had the mmWave 5G, I'd be all in on it. I live/work in the middle of a big city, so it would have some utility. I might still buy the regular S20 anyway, cause there are probably not that many scenarios where I need 100+ mb/s speeds. OTOH, there are expected to be more and more apps utilizing high-end 5G speeds coming on line. As mentioned in the review, the processors, memory, etc. are the same as the Plus and Ultra models, and I don't need (and most people don't need) the ridiculous camera specs offered by the Ultra, although it might feel good to have.
If you can wait the base model s20 will be getting re released later this year with mmw. I myself couldnt wait xD then again I don't live in a city
I knew this video was gonna start after the first ad.
Love the compact size, finally a top-end mid-size phone. (6.2", about the same feel and width as the iPhone 8 at 4.7')
Great review, Verizon isn't carrying the base model. Just the plus & ultra? Has to do with 5g?
Most definitely
Verizon only supports high bands of 5g only TMobile supports low band 5g
@@davidlegkodukh6969 thanks for the response?
Great video.sir where do i find hr wallpaper?
Does the triple lens setup is good enough for taking a shot etc ? Compare to plus version that have depth sense?
Was your battery life test based on the full 120hz or the stock 60hz? Do you have a comparison between the two?
Yeah finally a S20 video. I was waiting for it for the battery life review! Good news I guess but my question is do you tried with 60 hz and 120hz? How much does it impact the battery?
Just upgraded from my S8+ and so happy I did. Almost identical in size..Waited a little bit and got it on sale for $719 ($811 after tax) and have no regrets after waffling between the idea of S20+ prior to purchase.. If you're reading this and contemplating finally upgrading from an s8 or s8+ (still a good phone no doubt) DO IT!
Thanks for the S20 review mate, now I have one. By the way, where do I get that wallpaper ? Looks cool.
I love it I'm glad theres a Edge there
Good video man!
Thank you!!!
I have a note 8 want to keep the screen size about the same. Looking at the pixel 4xl as well.
Thoughts?
Can't wait for mine to arrive 😍
Dude you got a cool wallpaper out there! Where did u get it?
Great review, Mike! Happy to hear about Samsung’s extended support too. What do you think about the upcoming Pixel 5/4a 5G? Is the S20 better? Which would you choose? Thanks!
Good vid,i have s10 ,think i ll wait a good while b4 changing
Great review!
