Galaxy S20 Series vs S10: Should You Upgrade? [Samsung Comparison] By Android Central

S10 s22 sets of three phones and a galaxy of differences between them. Let's start with the overall look of the lineup, the s10 series featured the s10 es10 and s10 plus, in addition to the s10 5g, which launched later down the line for the s 20 series you've got the vanilla s, 20 the s, 20 plus, and the s 20 ultra, so the e device is going away and instead, you've got a more full-featured s.20 that forms the bedrock of that range. The only thing you're missing in the small s 20 versus the plus is the time of flight depth sensor around the back and millimeter wave 5g supports compare that to the s 10 a with its much smaller battery and lack of telephoto zoom camera and as such, the entire s 20 range is much more expensive across the board from ES 10 was it than the S 10 was just 12 months ago. Your base model s 20 runs to shy of $1000 in the US, with a $200 bump up to the s, 20 plus, and a $1,400 price tag for the cheaper of the two s.20 ultra variants: that's pretty steep, considering the kinds of deals you regularly see for s.10 series follows the reason for higher price tags this year, isn't just because they include 5g as standard now. There are also upgrades are plenty across the board as a generational jump in processors, snapdragon 855 to 865 or Enos ninety-ninth 20 to 990 in some countries, 12 gigs of ram is now the standard up from 8, and it goes as high as 16 gigabytes in the s20 ultra battery capacities get a significant bump ?, with the s 20 now starting a base of 4000 million powers going up to 5,000 in the ultra. Those are significant on paper increases for the s 20 series, but then these new phones have far more power.

Hungry features as well as 5g. Take, for instance, the new 120 Hertz displays it's an optional feature of course. But if you want the smoothest experience when your s 20, you are definitely going to be making use of those larger battery capacities. The new phones also support faster wired charging up to 45 watts compared to the s tens 18 watts, although, like the Galaxy Note tending bar charger, only pushes 25 watts of juice, so you need to fork out for Samsung's 45 watt, brick to hit those maximum charging speeds in terms of physical size as you'd expect. The S 20 lines are broadly with the S and vice-versa for the s 10 plus, and s 20, plus the s 20.

Ultra, though, is a real monster. Look at it here, next to the s 10 plus, and it's clear. This device is in a class of its own, it's big, it's heavy, its powerful and, as we already mentioned, it's also pretty expensive back to this play, though, because the most obvious difference between front faces of the s 20 and s, 10 is the placement of the front facing hole, punch camera. The cutout is now smaller and centrally located. Like the Galaxy Note, 10 and the Plus model also loses its secondary depth.

Sensing camera around the front which, if we're honest, never really make that much difference anyway. The biggest difference from me, though, going from the s 10 to s 20 is gonna, be the camera setup. If you couldn't tell by these decidedly chunky camera bulges, something has really gone to town and done a lot of work to improve the camera setup from the s 10 to the s.20 last year's model used a variation of the various 12 megapixel setups Samsung's, been using in flagship phones for years with 1.4 micron pixels, the new S 20 and s 20, plus camera stays at 12 megapixels, but with much larger pixels on a sensor at 1.8, microns, meaning of course, better low-light shots, the ultra-wide stays at 12 megapixels, but with some improvements there too, and finally, the sixty-four megapixel three times optical zoom is a big step up from the older 12 megapixel two times offering from the S 10, in other words, think better photos across the board and better low-light shots and zoom capabilities in particular. That's as well as 8k video recording. If you want to get really fancy the s20 ultra, though blows all of that out of the water with its new 108 megapixel sensor that does even better in low light and the ten times hybrid zoom camera that goes all up to a hundred times in digital zoom.

Hence, the slightly gaudy branding around the back there. Obviously, that setup is a huge leap beyond anything. Samsung had going on in 2019, so if you're on the fence whether to upgrade from a s10 to an S 20 or if you're deciding between this year's phones or last year's. Basically the difference comes down to camera, display and 5g. Those are the major areas of improvement in this release: cycle faster screen, better photos, especially zoom photos and lowlights, and that faster 5g connectivity.

The overall software experience is extremely similar to last year's phones with a handful of new tricks, like Google Duo baked into the camera app and the new single take mode that takes a bunch of data from the cameras as you move and automatically takes the best shots for you, but as for the overall look and feel the 1 UI 2.1 software that you see on s20 is virtually identical to the one UI 2.0 software. That's rolling out to s tens right now. Let us know in the comments whether you think yes, 20 is worth picking over the s 10 and subscribes. You don't miss off full review. Another coverage thanks for watching, and I'll, see you next time.
