Samsung Galaxy S20 vs S20+ (COMPARING S20 vs. S20 PLUS )

The Samsung Galaxy S 20 and s 20 plus r2 of Samsung's newest flagship phones, which boast incredible specifications and create a lot of excitement, seem similar at first glance, but in fact they have many differences beyond the screen size, so which is the best buy from the differences in price colors 5g capabilities camera capabilities and more this video will discuss the similarities and differences between these phones so be sure to stick around to make sure you buy in the right one welcome back to the channel in this video we are talking about the

S 20 plus and

galaxy

s 20 and I want to compare them, find out what the differences are to help you decide which one is really the best to buy and I want to start with the most obvious differences which are the physical ones and, of course the bigger is the size so the galaxy s 20 plus has a six, seven inch screen while the galaxy s 20 only has a 6.2 inch screen so for some people that It might be better for either of you, you could say they want a smaller screen.

In your pocket, you might as well say you want a bigger screen to see more media, but interestingly they both have the same number of pixels, so they're both 3200 by 1440, which technically means the pixel density is slightly better on the Galaxy S 20. but realistically, you won't notice that when you watch videos, they both have excellent screens, they are both very bright, very vibrant and they really are, you know, the classic Samsung screens, of course, some of the similarities here are exactly the same. center punch hole camera on top both have the in-display fingerprint sensor both have the same button it's the same pretty much everything on the phones looks very similar until we get to the camera bumps on the back now they both have the same three main shooting cameras, so the ultra wide angle, the wide angle and the telephoto are exactly the same cameras, but the galaxy s 20 plus has those two depth cameras that allow you to do several things that I will talk about later in the video, but that's really the extent of it.

Of the physical differences after that, you'll find that you can't notice anything different when looking at these phones. Now the battery life is also a difference with these phones so the biggest phone here the s20 plus actually has a 4500 milliamp hour battery and I'll test it in a minute to see how long it actually lasts and then we have Here the S 20 has a four thousand milliamp hour battery, so you lose 500 milliamp hours, but the screen is significantly smaller, so how does this really compare? As far as screen time goes, let's test it, so for this test we'll max out the brightness and turn off one brightness.

You can see what the battery levels are right now and when we go into settings, I'm going to turn on 120 120. Hertz for both and again they have very similar settings so on YouTube I'm just going to look for a walking tour video. We'll play it for about an hour and see how the batteries actually change, so from the beginning 6:34 am ninety-five percent on the last 20 and 84 percent on the s 20 plus, so now the only thing we have to do, as you can see similar settings, all we have to do now is wait for the time, now I made sure there are no ads.

It turned on and they were both playing the exact same videos this whole time, so the screens were actually going through the exact same test, so after an hour I paused the video and checked the battery and you can see they both dropped exactly 11. percent, which means you shouldn't really expect any different performance between these phones regarding battery. You'll also notice that the camera bump is just a little bigger on the galaxy s 20 plus, but it doesn't stick out any further. They have essentially the same camera wobble when you put it on a table and it wobbles back and forth.

The next big difference that everyone will notice almost immediately is the price difference, so the galaxy s 20 plus costs an extra $200 and costs $1,200 in comparison. to the thousand dollars you'll spend on the galaxy s 20, so speaking of the depth sensing camera, what can you actually do with that now if you get into the AR zone with an app that's here? Augmented reality is really what it's based on. You'll see that both phones have capabilities like an AR emoji. You can make AR doodles when you draw in free space. They have quick measures. Quick measurements practically equally inaccurate for both.

I don't really use it. by a lot because it tends to be wrong most of the time and then as you go down you'll see that really the only difference in all of these is the 3D scanner that you have with the galaxy s 20 plus so it might be fun to use this , let's try it right now and scan my cactus, so what we want to do in the AR zone is go to the 3D scanner and say, ok, start and you want to have a non-reflective object and it needs to be on a surface that has a very defined base, so this mat works fine and then this pot is not reflective so it definitely works and all you have to do is tap the little cube there and it will start scanning so let's scan this cactus so in Overall, this did a good job, it definitely has the right shape and color of the pot and the cactus itself, except I think it went a little weird with the spikes and the cactus, so the resolution of this is not perfect, of course, the pot itself is not.

It doesn't really look very good either, but if you're trying to scan it as a 3D object and send it to someone else you want, I don't know how to communicate ideas, maybe if you're on some kind of engineering project this baby might be useful for that, otherwise it might be fun to scan other people's faces, maybe I think it would be fun to do with this, but I can't say it's especially useful and, at least for me, I don't know that alone. The 3D scanning is worth the extra $200, however, it's not the only thing the depth sensor is used for for now.

If you open your camera and go to live focus or live focus video, you'll notice that this is actually a pretty significant difference. Well, if we go into just the live focus photo right here and if you're taking a photo of a face, they both use digital detection of the edges of a face that they know should be seen and are able to blur. the background behind the face now, if you're taking a photo of something that's not a face, for example, the Galaxy Buds right here, you'll see that if I take a photo holding the Galaxy Buds, the s20 plus can identify that.

They are close to the camera and they detected that they are the subject so both my hand and the galaxy buds are in focus and the background is blurred and I set both to maximum blur in live focus view so it should look like this now. if we look at the galaxy s 20 you will see that this is not the case, in fact it was not able to detect the subject, it obviously focused on where I touched in the middle, but it was not able to find the lines and blur the background, then you will be able to Notice that the background is a little blurry, not as blurry as we expected and that's actually just the natural blurring of the main camera's large aperture, so f 1.8 on the camera means that you'll have quite a bit of compression there, so which the background will become blurry and things further away will be even more blurry.

One big technical difference that I haven't talked about yet is actually the 5g between these phones, so if you're buying this phone and you live in an area that has 5g, your phone plan has 5g, then you definitely want to know this difference. , so there are two types of 5g, there's the sub 6 gigahertz range, which is a little bit faster than LTE, it's on the order of maybe 20 percent faster than a good LTE and that's kind of like in on a good day it's not always faster and then the other side of 5g is actually millimeter waves which are the ones that are significantly faster, you can have like a gigabyte and a half of download speed and just ridiculous numbers when you're working with that Now, here's the difference: the Galaxy S 20 only has sub 6 gigahertz 5G, while the S 20 Plus has both versions of 5G capabilities, which means if you want the best speeds, you'll really have to buy the S 20 Plus. and that's really a big difference if you live in an area that has very fast 5g and as 5g starts to roll out more in the next year or two, it could be a big change between these two models.

Another difference is actually the colors. available for these phones so depending on where you look I know Best Buy has the s 20 plus in aura blue but they don't have the s 20 in that color and then if you go to Samsung's website they tell you that you can't get the cosmic black. for the galaxy s 20, but you can get it for the s 20 plus and also, you may or may not be able to get cloud pink on the s 20 plus, so depending on where you are, look at the colors I'll put. a link in the description where you can buy them if you want to see the latest colors because sometimes Samsung has been known to add more colors maybe like a month or two months after launch so this is subject to change when it comes down They are both very similar in almost every aspect, but the big difference is of course the screen size, the additional depth-sensing cameras, the 5G and the extra onboard features you get. the s 20 plus, so if you're looking for the best value, obviously saving $200 for a couple of features, you know, the really marginal features that most people don't even use makes a lot of sense, but I think a lot of people buy the flagship model.

Phones are not necessarily looking for the best value. If you're looking for the best value for your money, you're probably looking at like the Pixel 3a or something like that. Now people looking at flagship phones generally want a larger screen. the best cameras and everything related to that nature, so it could be a tie, it really comes down to what is most comfortable in your hand or in your pocket. For me I would say I like the galaxy s 20 other than the larger screens they are very nice to have and I have pretty big hands so it works pretty well and having the ability to connect with millimeter wave 5g is great although I will say I probably won't use depth sensing cameras much now if you have smaller hands, I think.

You're not really missing out on much by choosing the galaxy s 20, the regular one, so that would be my recommendation for you, so comment below, let me know which one you like better and why it was a relatively short comparison because these really are phones Pretty similar, so I hope you found it useful.
