<\/span><\/p>\n

In Samsung’s Galaxy S20<\/span> world, the S20 Plus is most in need of an identity. Smack dab in the middle of the smaller, cheaper Galaxy S20 and the gargantuan Galaxy S20 Ultra<\/span> (with an eye-watering price tag to match), the S20 Plus has very little to differentiate itself from the other two. Pricing starts at $1,199, \u00a3999 and AU$1,499 (4G).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The S20 Plus’ two main assets are the 6.7-inch screen (larger than the standard S20’s 6.2-inch display), and the fact that it supports the fastest 5G speeds, using mmWave technology<\/span>. With the exception of Verizon’s unreleased model, the Galaxy S20 taps into a slower version of 5G.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s a smattering of other perks. The S20 Plus has a larger battery than the S20 (but smaller than the Ultra), which in our looping video test lasted 21 hours in airplane mode and 17 hours, 15 minutes in our Wi-Fi test that simulates real-world use. That’s when using the default 60Hz screen refresh rate.<\/p>\n

Unlike the S20, the Plus gives you an option to buy a 512GB variant. The larger model (along with the Ultra) also has a time-of-flight sensor in the camera module that’s designed to enrich low light shots, but doesn’t seem to affect photography in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

The S20 Plus hits a sweet spot for some<\/h2>\n

So, what about the S20 Ultra? Should you just go big as you can? No, you shouldn’t… in fact, I’d skip it altogether. Starting at $1,399, \u00a31,199 and AU$1,999 for the 128GB version, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is crazy expensive. Battery life was a few minutes worse<\/em> than the S20 Plus in both our lab tests, despite a larger 5,000mAh battery. It’s also thicker and heavier to use, the camera module sticks out more and the benefits of a 108-megapixel main camera and 100x telephoto zoom are minimal for all but the most specialized shots. Between the S20 Ultra and the S20 Plus, go with the Plus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m more on the fence when it comes to the S20 versus the Plus. If you don’t mind a smaller phone and don’t care about 5G, the standard S20 is the one for you. Most people will get what they need to from the standard S20, for $200 less than what you pay for the Plus. But of the two phones, the Plus is more convenient when you want a larger viewing screen, and the keyboard won’t feel as tight as the S20’s if you have larger hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Photography is excellent, battery life will take you from morning to night, and it’s packed with all the essential features found in Samsung’s S20 trio. I also appreciate its full-throttle 5G support. Yes, justifying the S20 Plus’ pricing is a challenge for me, especially because I personally prefer the S20’s smaller frame. But for me, all the Galaxy S20\u00a0phones\u00a0cost more than they need to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The S20 Plus has a gorgeous 6.7-inch display, which is excellent for watching video and reading comfortably.<\/p>\n

While I enjoy the power and performance that the S20s bring, I’m looking ahead to the Galaxy Note ($934 at Amazon<\/a>)<\/span> 20 for a lighter, more refined look and feel that I miss having switched from the Note 10 Plus. Samsung’s bold, redefined S20 Plus is on the right track. The next step is to perfect and refine.<\/p>\n

You’ll find the Galaxy S20, Plus and Ultra comparison specs below. For all the differences between the S20 and S20 Plus, see my rated Galaxy S20 review<\/span>. This Galaxy S20 Ultra review<\/span> goes into greater detail about how the 120Hz screen, Single Take photography and 8K video work.<\/p>\n
