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!
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.
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. :-)
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!
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!
Dam real talk. Ive always had the bigger phones! Since the note 4 days. Its really taking a toll on my hands and fingers. So its time to go back down lol
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....
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
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+
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.
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
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.
I preordered the S20 earlier more pocketable and the extra features aren't worth $200 on the plus. The only reason to go with plus would be if you want the bigger screen.
I may grab the s20+ as well and coming from a s10 normal ..Ya want a little bit bigger phone but not the ultra size..Also i feel im going to get the bang of the buck as well

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. :)
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...
Thank you for speaking clearly and precisely! Most people who do videos do not speak well at all and therefore, I can't listen to them for more than about 20 seconds!
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!
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?
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.
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 ?
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 ?
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.
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+.
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.
I've had my regular S20 for 2 days now.. battery life is pretty darn horrendous... hopefully it gets better, my Pixel 4(small) was definitely no worse and possibly better.
I've noticed the phone is a lot warmer in the hand when 120hz is enabled, even when im not using any intensive apps. Feels like it won't last very long.
@@azizahaddad yeah.. I do, I'll probably set it to 60hz for a day or 2 to make sure that's the culprit. One of the main selling points for me was the 120hz screen.. will be a bit frustrating if that's what killing the battery so quick. I've had it for 4 days now and it really does seem to be pretty bad. Maybe they'll update the software to work at 90hz or dynamically or both.
@william castle I've played with it set at 120hz and it's awesome will absolutely suck if that's what's draining the battery because then there will be no point in setting at 120hz
@@azizahaddad yeah.. I'm wondering with the 120hz set that even the always on display is refreshing that fast? That could definitely hurt the battery. Well.. lets hope it gets straightened out.. just a little disappointing especially with the battery size .
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)
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.
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.
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
Samsung - Galaxy S20 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) $949.99 and up. Samsung - Galaxy S20+ 5G Enabled 128GB (Unlocked) 1,149.99 and up. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 1,349.99 and up it depends what cell provider you pick. as for as the battery left it depends on what yours doing
2 types of 5G. The ultra and plus can each operate on both types of 5G. The regular can only operate on the sub-6GHz 5G. To be clear, I'm not saying there are different S20+ models for the different types of 5G. I'm saying the plus accepts both bands of 5G while the regular does not
MMWave 5G in it’s current state is useless and without sub 6 and mid range it will always be useless do to the short wave and inability to stretch far front the antenna. Add to this that it will be 3-5 years till full deployment and the sub 6 especially if your carrier has it makes the most sense as of now. The Tof camera is nice but in the end barely worth 20 dollars let alone 200 more to the average user. Add to this the size and heft of the s20+ and not only will I be getting the s20 but I wager the fast majority of consumers will as well. If you’re a tech guy you will buy the ultra if you’re a person who wants a great phone you will buy the S20.
DETERMINOLOGY not even the same thing as it will take mmwave longer to be complete than people will keep this phone. An average phone is kept 2-3 years while it will take longer than that for mmwave to be widespread and useful
@@synop4538 Oh okay. They should add an option that allows lowing the refresh rate to 90hz for medium battery saving. Never will I go back to 60hz though
@@H3cTicBenj45 Yes I know, I've been trying it out in the shop. When you use the 120hz for 10 minutes and you then look back at your 60hz phone you see a world of a difference. I didn't expect to see it that much..
I'm thinking of going to a 5G phone with Comcast Xfinity. I also believe I'm going to the s22 Plus! Thank you for your insights and I appreciate your efforts on our behalf!
In Switzerland, the S20+ is only 100$ more expensive than the S20. 1099 Swiss francs (1030 USD) and 999 Swiss francs (935 USD) respectively. Plus there is a 4g model, which knocks off 100$ on both.

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. :)
Good comparison. The 4G vs 5G is the biggest thing for me and therefore I would go with the S20 Plus model.
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
Thank you for speaking clearly and precisely! Most people who do videos do not speak well at all and therefore, I can't listen to them for more than about 20 seconds!
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!
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?
Good question!
Finally a worth my time video about s20
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.
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.
Can you also please compare pics from S20/S20+ with S20 Ultra?
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 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
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 ?
Great video Mike! Does the plus model is uncomfortable in the pocket? Does it pops out? It looks very tall!
The s20 and s20+ should have everything same, only difference should be size and batteries.
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 😊
Thankyou so much for making the video ❤️. You did a great job man
Thank you so much, very simple and clear. I'm buying a galaxy S 20 plus, pink colour
😍 🤗
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.
The biggest difference i noticed in these two phones was the different temperatures they showed for philadelphia @3.53 😂😂
watch 2x speed :)
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
I need this kinda comparison for the s20+ and ultra... Great work
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.
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.
Adding some camera demonstration would be great
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!
Great review! Where can I get that wallpaper on the s20?
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
Can you do a more extensive battery test between them
I've had my regular S20 for 2 days now.. battery life is pretty darn horrendous... hopefully it gets better, my Pixel 4(small) was definitely no worse and possibly better.
Do you have it set 120hz refresh rate?
I've noticed the phone is a lot warmer in the hand when 120hz is enabled, even when im not using any intensive apps. Feels like it won't last very long.
@@azizahaddad yeah.. I do, I'll probably set it to 60hz for a day or 2 to make sure that's the culprit. One of the main selling points for me was the 120hz screen.. will be a bit frustrating if that's what killing the battery so quick. I've had it for 4 days now and it really does seem to be pretty bad. Maybe they'll update the software to work at 90hz or dynamically or both.
@william castle I've played with it set at 120hz and it's awesome will absolutely suck if that's what's draining the battery because then there will be no point in setting at 120hz
@@azizahaddad yeah.. I'm wondering with the 120hz set that even the always on display is refreshing that fast? That could definitely hurt the battery. Well.. lets hope it gets straightened out.. just a little disappointing especially with the battery size .
Got it now s20 blue 😘🤣
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.
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
Hi Mike what size is a Samsung Galaxy s20+5G screen size having trouble finding a case
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)
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!
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.
S20plus cloud blue coming to me on the first week of april.. thanks for the information.. ☺
The best review I ever watched keep it up👍
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.
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
S20+ hands down..
Forget the ultra..
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
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.
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..
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!
In Switzerland, the S20+ is only 100$ more expensive than the S20. 1099 Swiss francs (1030 USD) and 999 Swiss francs (935 USD) respectively. Plus there is a 4g model, which knocks off 100$ on both.
You deserve attention bro! Very good video!
Which one is better? It depends what temperature you prefer? Smaller shows 57 in Philly, bigger only 55.
Do you think that the difference about camera is big?I want a telephone with very good camera but I can't decide which telephone is better.
👍📸 I love the cloud blue on the plus.
Me too
