5 Reasons To Buy The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

so I wanted to talk a little bit about a new device, a new phone released by Samsung, the s20

ultra

, and the reason I want to talk about it is because I've been using it. I switched to this phone. I was using an iPhone for a while I was using a Pixel phone before that, well you know, that's how things work here, that's the job, you try a lot of different phones, you discover them, you discover the things you like, you discover things. don't do it, so I thought it would be great right now, given some initial exposure to this device, to explain it to you and give you five

reasons

why you might want to get this phone or at least five observations five things I like about this particular device It is not exclusive to the

ultra

some of the factors would also apply to the other devices these s 20 s 20 plus not exactly, but I like to use the s 20 the normal s 20, the number one thing I like about this phone I have used it now for I don't know maybe three days is the screen now I don't know if that surprises you or not you probably imagine that would be the case maybe you thought I was going to say bastard the screen that I put is at number one just because of how big it is .

I guess I feel like if you were a smartphone buyer in 2020, you would have a budget to support this particular phone and believe me, it's a budget, full disclaimer, everything I say here applies to a very expensive phone , but you know since you clicked on it, if you want the biggest screen, it's probably this one in 2020 at this scale, it's the biggest screen that Samsung has ever put on a device and that includes the Note series. which normally had the biggest screens, so you have a huge screen with very little obstruction by any kind of cutout, of course we have the only front camera symmetrically in the middle with a small hole, it has ultra high brightness and believe me, I'm a bit of a brightness buff.

I'm always looking for the brightest displays in daylight outside. I pay attention. I'm curious. This is one of the brightest I've ever used. To that you add a hundred and twenty hertz refresh and I've explained this to you in the past with other high refresh rate devices, this has a tremendous impact on how snappy the phone feels when you interact with it, how fast it feels and it will not be fully displayed on the camera but once. If you have this in your hand, you will find it difficult to go back to a normal 60 Hertz phone and since the last phone I used before this was an iPhone 11 Pro max, which is a 60 Hertz device, the jump gap was significant and It's like, men, look what I was missing, it's not just speed, it's also a kind of smoothness that comes with those 120 Hertz.

Keep in mind that it uses a battery and that has been one of the criticisms of this particular device even though it takes up a lot of space, it has a huge battery at 120 Hertz, if you are watching a lot of videos, you move a lot, you are playing something like this, you can exhaust it, it is possible, so keep that in mind. If you want better battery life, you can toggle back to 120 Hertz, but you know me, it's like a maximum brightness of 120 Hertz. I want to experience the ultra in Ultra format if you care about screen stuff, took a look at this screen and basically ranked. puts it in the top tier, so it brings together the resolution, the size, the 120 Hertz, they update Samsung's history and the delivery of OLED displays, the small punch hole, it just adds it all up, the high brightness and I think it probably has the best looking screen if we're talking strictly about screens maybe on any smartphone right now it all depends on whether or not you're looking for the biggest baddest screen because it's a huge phone so I might see some people like that maybe with a smaller hand or you.

You just don't want to have a beast in your pocket just tell yourself I can't handle it I'm not going to do it or maybe you don't have the budget for it so I hear you when it comes to that Also, he's one of those people. Decided to go with the standard edition of the S20. He's been personalizing it. He loves it. Okay, number two. This one is strange and applies to all the new S20s or, well, the latest Samsung news. a general user interface the new user interface this is crazy. I can't imagine saying this, in fact, because you've heard me here before.

I've been a big proponent of the stock Android experience, the pixel Android experience, the fashion Android experience. Although Google intended it, this is one of those rare circumstances where I feel like Samsung has actually made an improvement and that improvement applies specifically to this ultra model because of how big it is, so Samsung put a lot of thought into use with one hand and as you can. See, I can drag from this point on the screen and get my dropdown menu. If I go up to the settings area, here I can grab it from anywhere and bring it down to a more accessible location.

This is my left hand, so the grip is a little bigger. It's abnormal, but this is especially important on a really big phone and thought was given to how you're going to use this with one hand and if there are software improvements we can make that will make your life a little bit easier now, this same thing goes ahead. Samsung apps and settings, so the default will be something like this, but what if I have to reach for the connections with one hand? Check it now. I can reach it, but the default would put it at the top, which would put it further away from me.

This matters on a device that's this big, everything is pretty clean, there's a built-in dark mode, it's snappy, it's not a heavy skin, so it's a bit crazy. I'm sitting here using a UI instead of an alternative browser in 2020 which should work. To show it to you from a guy who's been in the core experience and talking about it for so long, that's significant. Note that that particular point applies to any of the latest Samsung devices and not just the ultra model, and it's a bit surprising. at number two, but I don't know, I feel like it deserves to be talked about, it's a differentiating factor that Samsung has if you were comparing this to something that wasn't a Samsung flagship device, okay, the next one stood out. for me straight away, considering the last Samsung device I used would have been back in the s10 days, they got rid of the dedicated Bigsby button, which for me was a pain in the older models, now I know that eventually these things could be assigned, those buttons to do alternative things, but I hated the idea of ​​this feature being forced on me when you know I'm a Google Assistant.

I like using Google Assistant, basically, it was never a replacement for me, so I didn't want this button. reminding me that Samsung was wanting and waiting for me to use Bixby. I feel like it's back to chasing its tail now that you're using that thing, so yeah, I was one of those guys who was trying to disable and remap the Bixby button and it was ok, that was a decent substitute, but it felt unnecessary and It was hard for me to shake it out of my psychology that this button represented Bixby exclusively and sometimes I would press it accidentally and then in the initial way you would disable it, you could still launch it with DoubleTap.

I just wanted to get rid of it and they did that on this device which means Samsung is listening to the customer base and I think that's always a good thing so now. instead if you go to the power settings in the side keys settings you will actually do what you want even with the power switch, so if you still want the Bixby situation just do it from the power button, can be double. press or hold if you're a big B user, so it's a better implementation that gives you more control, it's inside a UI, so I did it.

I think Samsung made the right move, this is my fourth and counting. In mind, I'm trying to limit myself to things that are not obvious, these five features that I think will make you want to pay attention to this particular device, obviously, it's very powerful, it has all this Ram, it has the latest Qualcomm chip, so supposed. it has all those things going for it, but I was trying to focus it more on things you might not think about or things I experienced and noticed while having the device in my hand, so the next one actually has to do with the screen again and Samsung's flatness has gone through a variety of different curvatures to the edge of the screen going back to the device that actually had the name edge, which was a very aggressive edge that they had and they've been playing with different versions leading up to this one, I think they have finally hit the nail on the head in 2020, if you can say that now I know other manufacturers are going crazy with cascades and such, but from a person who has used them all up to this point, there has been no a perfect implementation, you will get these unintentional pressures on the side, sometimes you will be missing a place to grab, they look very nice, they look very sci-fi with the waterfall screen, but from a practical perspective from a usage perspective, still There is no substitute for a secure grip, so this particular curvature still diminishes the appearance of a bezel, but keeps it flat enough that there are no unintentional pressures and if you pair a case with the device like the one I have here, you are even less likely to leave. to touch where you don't want because now you have this nice substantial section that you can hold on to as you can see here right now of course this is a slim case so it doesn't obstruct the original grip too much it's not a massive impact but just It gives you a little more to hold on to and makes you less likely to interact with the edge.

I think they have achieved the curvature for now. I can't talk about the s20 ultra without talking about the camera it is a very important component here it is huge it stands out it is the first thing you see with this device if I take this out of my pocket people will talk about this camera they will immediately know what is this phone because of camera now the camera has been a bit controversial, so you may find it strange. What I am saying is one of the top five

reasons

to consider this phone controversial in the sense that there have been some issues.

Samsung says there will be some improvements. a camera, we're going to have the next software, there have been some issues with autofocus, there have been some issues with image processing, so these are things that you could fix with software, but there's also the argument that you can't you should have to ask for it. out of the box, maximum performance out of the box, but Samsung gives you access to a full pro mode here that can eliminate a lot of that post-processing. The reason I put it at number five is because of the versatility of the camera which I think is where this particular device shines where out of the box Samsung gives you more control over how the camera operates compared to other manufacturers there are many things you can modify within the camera app the same applies to the video mode which goes up to 8k Also, there is still no really perfect replacement for optical zoom.

It works better than the other zooms, particularly the digital zoom which the Pixel tries to do at least up to around 10x. At 8X you will certainly get more sharpness and less software guesswork. This is one area where the hardware still outperforms even the best software in the world when trying to figure out what a zoomed-in image should look like the wide-angle camera I've been using outdoors. I was impressed. I posted a couple of photos of This is why the selfie camera is also very good, which is why I decided to title it Camera Versatility. It's a combination of the available settings and the various video formats that you may never use but have access to if you want to dive in. on an ultra model phone, as for autofocus and image processing, we will have to wait and see how Samsung addresses it, if the next software can improve it, it probably can, but keep in mind that it may progress or change. over time my last one is an honorable mention and it also applies to all Samsung devices and if you watched the latest video then you already know and it's the Samsung platforms that allow you to plug this power into a laptop or desktop style environment. desktop with a keyboard and a screen and I haven't experimented with it before and it actually turns out to be something totally usable, it's surprisingly powerful and fluid and I can see a lot of people in the future transitioning to a workflow like that, other manufacturers They haven't made much progress in this space, Huawei has their own thing, then you have Samsung with Dex and pretty much no one else is there yet or are currently working on it, so it's a nice bonus if you're going to invest in a very expensive flagship device. , you'll know that you might have the option of connecting it to a dock for a keyboard, mouse, and monitor experience or a laptop-style experience if you need to do more work, write a document, etc. and again advantage for Samsung, so that's five points plus one extra.

The honorable mention withDex. Is there anything you want to add? You have been using the s20. What is your favorite thing? One reason why a person should get a series S 20. The One 20 device is going to be frustrating, okay I think that makes the screen a great day, yeah I mean it's so smooth, yeah there's no lag at all on this, so yeah, I appreciate that something like that you feel like you've got it. We've progressed into the next era of smartphone displays, maybe even more than resolution, maybe even more than the move to OLED, Refresh has had a really strange impact on how you perceive your phone's speed, responsiveness due to touch input, the way we interact with phones, that instant tracking of your finger. it gives more life to the device, it feels more responsive, all of this sounds very extreme, very personal and intimate, and that's because those are five reasons and an honorable mention for me why you might want to get the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra and That's one of the reasons Will will buy an S 20 series in general.

It is a moment. You're going to have a moment.
