Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Tomorrow’s Specs, Yesterday’s Design [Hands-On]

Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Tomorrow’s Specs, Yesterday’s Design [Hands-On]”.
This video is sponsored by Back Market.. You know the worst thing about attending a tech briefing when you have Pneumonia, It’s not the shortness of breath or the fact that your voice doesn’t really work. I’M sure you can hear.. Rather, it’s not knowing whether your vague sense of disappointment is thanks to the foam in your lungs or the phone in your hand.. Well, I’ve had a few days to process my time with the Galaxy S20 Ultra and I think I get it now.

See. This really is one of the most advanced smartphones in the world., With a laundry list of compelling practical benefits., But it comes in a package so conventional compared to the trailblazers. Samsung is selling right along side it That you need to look harder to see. What’S really important about it.? Fortunately that’s.

Why were here. I’m MrMobile, and this is first look at the Samsung S20 Ultra. ( electronic dance, music ), So Samsung actually dropped three S20 series devices today and If you want to know about the two lower-end models visit, my friends at Android Central for their coverage Of the entire line-up. Me, I focused on the flagship, and there is plenty here to backup the Ultra name..

First, the is a behemoth of a handheld.. Remember how flummoxed I was by the size of the IPhone 11 Pro Max. Well, the S20 Ultra is taller thicker and nearly as heavy. And Samsung has made smart use of the extra space.

First, it’s packed in a mammoth battery 11 % larger than last years, S10 5G and 16 % larger than the battery. In the Note 10 Plus. – That’s good, because there are a lot of power hungry components. Here., Like a nearly 7 inch display that refreshes 120 times every second..

If you watched my Razer Phone 2 review, you’ll know the kind of effortless fluidity that refresh rate provides. It’S one of those things that’s tough, to give up once you’ve experienced it.. That has not been my experience with 5G, so far.. Frankly, I found it quite disappointing..

Nevertheless, all three S20 models are 5G ready. The lower-end phone can only use the mid and low-band networks, while the Ultra supports those and the high-band millimeter wave in North America and Japan.. Now, if that’s all sounding a little Greek to you check out my hands-on test, drive of both T-Mobile and Verizon 5G at theMrMobile on YouTube, you’ll hear what my voice sounds like when it’s working properly and please subscribe. So you don’t miss future videos. Samsung has always been big on specs and what’s refreshing about the S20 Ultra is that it builds on them bumps in a practical way.. Not only is there a ton of RAM on board, but now you can now make better use of it by forcing up to five apps to keep running in the background.

There’s also up to 512 gigs of storage with Micro, SD expansion, a 25 watt charger in The box, with an option to buy a 45 watt charger and the usual wireless charging and wireless power share as well. All right now. How about that big dog tag on the back? Well, we’re going to close out by climbing that mountain right. After a word from my sponsor about buying more responsibly., Let’s talk about E-Waste for a second all those smart phones. I cover every week.

Well, it takes 10 liters of water to make each one of them. The Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold inside Most of it comes from conflict zones.. Fortunately, my sponsor Back Market has a simple solution.: Make devices cleaner by making them last longer. Pre-owned items get refurbished by factories that Back Market cherry-picks and they’re, backed by a minimum one year warranty. So refurb doesn’t have to be a dirty word..

You buy it at a fair price. You see right up front what kind of warranty you’re getting and it gets shipped right to your door. Look. I still love my new tech, but if you want to help save the world, then save some money, while your at it give Back Market a look in the link in the description below.

With a hump. This husky you’ve got to bring serious camera game. And Samsung says this is it’s biggest optical upgrade since 2016., It’s built around a primary sensor with a resolution of 108 Megapixels. For context.

Last year’s Galaxy S10 used a camera with 12 Megapixels., But it is important to note that doesn’t necessarily guarantee better results. The more pixels you pack onto a sensor, the harder it is to capture light for one thing., So Samsung includes the option to switch to a binned, 12 megapixel mode which combines nine pixels into one.. Only real-world testing will determine how this actually works. Also included a 12 megapixel camera for 120 degree, ultra-wide shots a time-of-flight camera for depth, sensing and something that may be familiar.

A 48 megapixel telephoto camera mounted sideways to align with this rectangular prism. Here. Samsung calls it a Space Zoom camera, but you might remember first seeing it on the Huawei P30 Pro. That phone I used to talk, absolutely incredible photos in Paris.

Last year. Samsung promises up to 10 times zoom, with no loss in quality and up to 100 times zoom. If you max it out. Yeah, you heard me 100 times., There’s also 8K video recording, improved stabilization and a ( chuckles ), a selfie camera that once again focuses on the wrong thing.

Boosting resolution. Instead of offering a wider angle. That frustration aside, though, this is absolutely the most ambitious camera array Samsung has ever offered. And I’m eager to get it out into the real world.. The phone will hit said real world on March 6th with pre-orders opening February 21., And how much will the S20 Ultra run? You Brace yourself. Just a buck shy of $ 1400.

Again I’ll, be giving it proper review. But you probably already know if your the type, who wants an S20 Ultra., If your a function over form person who doesn’t care that this is a very dull design, with an even duller color scheme. You’Ll probably buy it for the specs and the features which are prodigious..

If your someone like me, who’s captivated by the new possibilities of foldable screens as we’ve seen on Galaxy Fold, Motorola Razr and Galaxy Z, Flip. You’ll probably want to sock that $ 1400 away for something that feels a little more 2020.. Let me know what you think of the Galaxy S20 Ultra in the comments.

Folks and again, please subscribe to theMrMobile on YouTube, so you don’t miss my full review, hopefully with a working voice.. This hands-on made possible by a media pre-briefing, hosted by Samsung ahead of the unpack launch event.. The company did not have input into the editorial content or approval over the final product though..

That means their seeing this video for the first time right alongside you. Until next time, thanks for watching and stay mobile, my friends .
