Samsung Galaxy S20 User Reviews
Posted on: Nov 20, 2019, 3:28 AM
Review: The best overall phone of 2019, but really heavy and expensive. Should come with at least 128gb on base model and USB-C. The other things like 120hz screen doesn’t bother me. I’m overall very pleased to have this phone.

Review: Just no denying the fact that the Camera set up in this new iPhone is leaps and bounds above last year. I'm also loving the great build quality and the new dark green color. The hardware, combined with iOS 13 make this device a pleasure to use.

Review: I switched from a Galaxy S10 because I started to miss the apple ecosystem and I wasn’t disappointed. The phone works great and I’m surprised by the amazing battery, in the end of the day I have like 60% left. The screen is great and overall it just feels like iPhone we all have dreamed off, I’m so happy apple have upgraded the iPhone specs to a level where it can compete with the Samsung flagships.Overall perfect phone!:)

- Perfect battery
- Great display
- Great UI
- Great camera
- Social Media works great
- Heavy
Clearly the best iPhone to date and the best iPhone that I have ever used. The battery lasts awhile, the camera is clearly a step up and so is the video recording quality from the previous models and it has an included 18 watt charging brick in box and not the standard 5 watt brick that it still has with the smaller 11 models. I still wish they moved to USB C like their MacBooks and iPad Pro line though. At least then it will make the “pro” designation a little more worth it. I love the bigger 6.5 or realistically the 6.4 inch size to be much more easier to hold with one hand than the smaller 5.8 inch iPhone X. It’s much easier to hold and it isn’t sleek and slippery like the X or XS Max were with their all glass back. Overall it is still playing catch up with other smart phones on the market but overall it’s still a huge improvement over the XS Max. The only gripe that I have with the phone that isn’t a listed con, is the fact that sometimes it takes a while to reboot if I need to. Sometimes it takes about 4-5 minutes to reboot. Which normally should take about a 45 sec. tops. Other than that I’m very happy with this phone.
- Camera
- Battery Life
- Fast
- Included 18 Watt Charging Brick
- Water Resistance Improvement
- Face ID Speed Improvements
- No USB C
- No Reverse Charging
- Expensive
- Still Looks Similar To Previous Models
TL;DR-This phone is a mixed bag. It's just a standard iPhone with a decent camera and excellent battery but it feels a bit slow compared to some Android phones. Overall it's a boring but trusty device.

For every wonderful feature, there seems to be an equally unfortunate trade-off. For a start, build quality, though premium, makes the phone heavy and bulky. (That's coming from a 6'3" dude with enormous hands.) This phone significantly weighs down pockets, if you're a smaller handed person, I'd advise against this heavy little tank. My reception is poor, though I live in a semi-rural area with Verizon, I've been rather disappointed, especially when transitioning between WiFi and data. Call quality is decent. Multimedia is fair, speakers get the job done and the screen is fairly good. However, the speakers are not nearly as good as my old Note9, and the screen pales in comparison to OnePlus, Samsung, and even Google's high-res screens. The camera is good all around, it excels in video recording, but images appear to be extremely warm and yellow, which I don't like. Also have noticed TONS of autofocus issues. If you're looking for the best point and shoot camera or the best night-time camera, I would recommend Google's Pixel 4. iOS is solid, bus customization is essentially impossible. iOS convenience is also slowly losing its edge as Android 10 starts bringing helpful features like call screening, Google Assistant, and multitasking are vastly superior to iOS. I've noticed some really severe RAM management issues as well. The keyboard is also very poor, no haptic feedback and bad touch input make for a disappointing experience, far prefer Gboard. The display as I said is solid, but many phones have substantially better screens. The only truly outstanding feature about the phone is the stellar battery, which lasts me two days easily. Overall it's a good phone but for the price, you can do better. If you absolutely need iOS to buy an iPhone SE 2020 or the regular iPhone 11 is a good choice. IF you're looking for a decent iPhone alternative, Google's Pixel line, OnePlus, and Samsung's Galaxy S series are great options. I will be purchasing a Pixel or OnePlus due to the near-stock experience but that's up to you.
