The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra came out in February with a price tag almost as high as the company's foldable devices. That combined with the outbreak of COVID-19 hasn't helped it in a very tough market. This is despite it being not only the best phone Sams...
Overall the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is a very impressive pocket camera, which offers another reminder of just how capable smartphones have become. While it doesnt live up to the firms most hyperbolic claims regarding the 108MP sensor or the 100x ‘space...

Superb cameras, Massive screen, Super powerful
Super expensive, Familiar design, Can't use both 120Hz and QHD+
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is the best phone Samsung has ever made but it's also one of the most expensive, and that price holds it back. It's great, but you can get the most important aspects for a lot less. Still, if you want Samsung's best, this i...

120Hz screen, 5G, great and flexible camera, long battery life, microSD card slot, dual sim, One UI, wireless charging and powershare, fast performance
absolutely massive, very expensive, no headphone socket, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor not as good as competitors
The Galaxy S20 Ultra is Samsung's superphone to conquer all superphones. Everything pushed to excess.That excess is great when it means a massive battery, future-proofed 5G and a camera that's leagues ahead of where Samsung was a year ago. The combination...

Abstract: Each Spring, Samsung reveals its latest Galaxy S phone. For the first time ever, it has changed the number of the release by not one but ten. So last year's Galaxy S10 is followed by the new S20. You didn't miss a decade, but Samsung is suggesting a huge...
Silky-smooth 120Hz screen, 100x ‘Space Zoom' is impressive, The first phone with 8K video recording
Samsung's priciest (non-folding) phone yet, Pre-release camera quibbles, Brutish design
Phew. For once, there's plenty to talk about with a new Samsung flagship, and I'm sure there are a few things I've missed out. There's certainly room for me to discuss the Galaxy S20 Ultra's network capabilities – it supports all 5G standards including mm...
The S20 Ultra is not a phone that most people should buy. It's too expensive for most people to afford, too big for most people to want, and too ugly for the remaining few to ever want to show off.Still, it's a phone packed with technical achievements, no...

Huge, buttery smooth 120Hz screen,Hyper-premium internal hardware spec,Versatile, feature-packed camera system,Supports all 5G standards (sub-6, mmWave, NSA),Impressive Geekbench 5 and 3DMark scores,Capacious 5,000 mAh battery stack,
Obviously, the price, which is very high, Turn 120Hz on and battery life is affected, Would you be better with a Note 10+
There's definitely a uncouth, almost brutal way in which the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra assaults the Android phone market in my mind, with it wielding hyper premium hardware, connectivity and camera specs like a barbarian warlord in the midst of battle. Few...

Unparalleled camera quality and flexibility, Stunning display, Colossal battery life - with the right settings
120Hz screen saps battery, No headphone jack, Eye-wateringly expensive
As a device purpose-built to prove Samsung still rules the roost when it comes to Android handsets, the S20 Ultra certainly gets the job done. It shows you don't need a fancy folding screen to stake a claim as the most impressive phone in the world right...
