I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but the 6.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S20 ($999) is small. I mean, compared to the 6.7-inch display on the Galaxy S20 Plus and mammoth 6.9-inch Galaxy S20 Ultra, the Galaxy S20 is downright cute. But for people who like s...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is a 6.2-inch screened smartphone, making it the proverbial baby of the S20 bunch. Weighing 163g, it's beautifully light, especially when compared to the 194g iPhone 11, and the 188g iPhone 11 Pro. Samsung hasn't dared to be bold w...

Samsung's entry-level Galaxy S20 is a familiar-looking phone. While its design improvements feel incremental though, the camera system has totally changed - with Samsung dropping its dual aperture lens, bumping up the telephoto resolution to an eye-wateri...

If you flip over the new Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphone and compare it to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro or Google Pixel 4, you'll see the exact same thing on the back of all three: A crazy-big camera module with multiple lenses peering at you. Samsung's fresh f...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is a mostly excellent phone. I know that is an unpopular take at this point in the yearly Android review cycle, partly because of the price of each S20 phone and also because Samsung can't quite seem to tick every single Android pur...

The Galaxy S20 is so close to being the phone I'd tell everyone to buy for 2020. You won't find a better display. You might not find a better in-hand feel. Battery life is solid. Performance is excellent. The software experience is smooth and feature-pack...

The Galaxy S20 is Samsung's most expensive flagship lineup to date, and when the price of entry starts at a thousand dollars, it's easy to start asking just how much smartphone you need, versus what you may just want. But as the US begins the long transit...
