Samsung is expected to release its next flagship series on 11 February in New York, including Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Ahead of the official launch, the Galaxy S20 has been listed on Amazon UAE, revealing its full design and full specs. The listing shows that the handset will come with a punch-hole screen that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, the back of the smartphone will house a triple camera setup stacked on a rectangular module that slightly protrudes. In addition, previous rumors and leaks suggested that the phone could have slightly curved edges. Other than that, the Samsung Galaxy S20 should have an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint reader just like the Galaxy S10.

The listing price of the Galaxy S20 on Amazon UAE is 3,112.72 AED, which is equivalent to around Rs. 60,000. It was listed as “temporarily out of stock’ on the website, but the listing is now removed entirely. Only the Cloud Blue color of the smartphone was spotted there, but there should several more color options.

Samsung Galaxy S20: Specifications

The front of the handset will be a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and the Infinity-O design. There will be a center-aligned punch-hole for a selfie shooter, just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 lineup. It will draw processing power from an Exynos 990 SoC in the UAE while there will also be a Snapdragon 865-powered model in several markets. However, Samsung India might bring the Exynos 990 version to India, which might be a bit disappointing to many users. Paired with the chipset are 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. The phone will be fueled by a beefy 4,000 mAh battery and boot Android 10-based One UI 2.0 to take care of the software side of things.

Camera-wise, it gets a triple camera setup on the back panel, including a 64MP telephoto lens, a 12MP wide-angle camera, and a 30x Space Zoom lens that is said to “capture the world around you like never before.” Surprisingly, the front-facing camera of the smartphone only has a 10MP resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Review

Samsung finally releases its next Galaxy S series. However, instead of calling it Galaxy S11, the brand decides to jumps right up to Samsung Galaxy S20. Apart from the vanilla model, the series also includes Samsung Galaxy S20+ and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.

The most noticeable feature of the Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup is that the rear camera cluster has been moved to the left rather than in the middle like last year's S series. This design is actually seen on the Galaxy A51 / A71. According to Samsung’s announcement in the recent launch of the A-series, they apply a new strategy to bring the latest tech and features on the Galaxy A smartphones then improve them on the high-end models.

And now we see the camera cluster inherited the design from the A-Series, but of course, the quality of the camera setup is much higher.

The most noticeable difference between the three Galaxy S20 smartphones is the number of cameras. While the Galaxy S20 has 3 cameras, the Galaxy S20 Plus and S20 Ultra have four sensors at the back. Moreover, only the S20 Ultra has a 48MP periscope lens that is designed to offer up to 100x digital zoom.

In theory, if you want to be able to zoom at a far distance, manufacturers have to use a camera with a long focal length, which means that the lens will be a lot bigger. So the periscope solution is currently the only way to get a high level of zoom on smartphones and doesn’t take too much space.

The other three cameras of the Galaxy S20 Ultra include the 108 MP f / 1.8 main camera, 12 MP f / 2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera, and 0.3MP ToF 3D camera.

The Galaxy S20 and S20 + have the same ultra-wide camera as the S20 Ultra while they only have a 12 MP f / 1.8 main camera and 64 MP f / 2.0 telephoto with 3x optical zoom and 30x hybrid zoom. In addition to that, the S20+ also has an additional DepthVision sensor, which helps the phone take better portrait shots.

Regarding the camera solution, this year's Galaxy S20 Ultra brings more "interesting" features, including the ability to capture super-resolution photos of 108 MP, Single Take, Space Zoom 100x and even 8K video recording.

With Single Take, users can shoot multiple photos and videos in many different modes like AI Best Moment, Ultra-wide shot, Live focus, AI filter, Smart crop, "forward and backward" videos, and quick videos. 

On the front, the Galaxy S20 trio uses a Dynamic AMOLED panel with a punch-hole to house the selfie camera. Unlike the S10 with a selfie camera placed at the upper right corner, the punch hole on the three S20 smartphones is put in the center, similar to last year's Note10, Galaxy A51, and Galaxy A71.

All S20 series this year all use a single selfie camera. The one on the S20 and S20 Plus has 10 MP f / 2.2 resolution while the S20 Ultra is equipped with a 40 MP f / 2.2 unit.

All three smartphones use a Dynamic AMOLED 2x Quad HD + panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sensitivity. The display on the Galaxy S20 measures 6.2 inches while the display size on the S20 Plus and S20 Ultra is 6.7 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. 

The Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus are packed with 4,000mAh and 4,500mAh batteries, respectively. Meanwhile, the S20 Ultra carries a beefier 5,000 mAh unit. 

In terms of configuration, the trio comes with a Snapdragon 865 SoC or an Exynos 990 SoC, depending on the market. We are not sure whether they will carry Qualcomm's or Samsung’s chipsets since Samsung was previously said to release the models with Qualcomm’s chipset on more markets. The memory configurations for the three models are as follows:

Samsung Galaxy S20 5G:

• 8GB RAM + 128GB storage 

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G (the 4G version is only available in the first variant)

• 12GB RAM + 128GB storage
• 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
• 12GB RAM + 512GB storage 

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G

• 12GB RAM + 128GB storage
• 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
• 16GB RAM + 512GB storage

The three smartphones will be up for pre-order from 21 February in the US while. You can start pre-ordering the phone in the UK today, and it will be shipped by 8 March while users in Germany and other EU countries will have to wait for the shipping on 13 March even though the pre-order starts in the same day as in the UK.

Here are the prices of the three smartphones in the Galaxy S20 lineup. For now, we haven't got any details about the Samsung Galaxy S20 price in India and its release date However, we expect it to arrive very soon.
