Cons
Expensive
Massive
Camera and networks bugs in testing
100X zoom isn't that usable
Ultra expensive
Underwhelming battery life with 120Hz refresh rate
108MP Nonacell camera fails to live up to the hype
'Space zoom 100x' is just for marketing
Fingerprint sensor performance is way behind the competition
A big phone for people who love, well, big phones, Lovely screen, Decent battery life for a Samsung flagship, Support for 5G, Water resistant, Wireless charging
It's a really big phone, Expensive, 100x camera is a gimmick you'll rarely use, Camera is slow to fire, Quality from camera doesn't really match its highend price
The year is off to a strange start, and mobiles haven't quite been coming out at the pace we've expected. Australia has seen some brands drop out, while other phones have either decided to not turn up, and others again haven't been as amazing as we'd like...

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has some amazing camera specs — so much so that you would expect it to be far and away better than every other smartphone camera out there. After a few weeks with the Galaxy S20 Ultra camera we can tell you that it is good but...

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor was lambasted for its inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Early reports had the Galaxy S20 Qualcomm-made ultrasonic fingerprint sensors pegged with the same issues.In our use with not just the Ultra but also the S...
Abstract: I feel like I need to give Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra two scores. If I'm reviewing it solely on the merits of its components and what it can do, it's easily a five-star device, with only the smallest of perceptible flaws.The 6.9-inch display is remarkably...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is in a class of its own. It is full of unmatched hardware innovations many of them, such as the new sensor are manufactured by Samsung.Samsung manufactures most of the key products in their premium smartphones while, Apple r...
Alright, I know this has been a long one so I'm going to conclude now. For $1,400 USD the Galaxy S20 Ultra doesn't have that ‘ultra' factor that I was looking forward to. There are far too many compromises with this smartphone, and let me list them one by...
