The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus was a nearly-perfect smartphone when it launched, connecting to more 5G networks and offering better cameras than ever, though you had to pay for the privilege, as this was the priciest Plus smartphone yet.

Powerful yet sleek, Much-improved zoom, More 5G connectivity

Ever-higher price, Improvements are mostly iterative, No more 3.5mm headphone jack

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus: The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is the phone to buy if you can’t afford the expensive S20 Ultra

Super fluid 120Hz display, Superb performance, Decent battery life

Average selfie camera, Plain design

Just like the S20, but with the bigger screen and that's no bad thing

Both the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ are exceptional all-rounders, the problem is that, in a sense, they’re too similar. Beyond a larger display, there’s little reason to opt for the plus model over its more compact sibling, especially when doing so adds £100 to £200 onto the price tag.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

“The iPhone 14 isn't a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. But with a great design, screen, performance, and cameras, that's far from a bad thing at all.”

Comfortable, high-end build, OLED screen looks fantastic, A15 chip performs great, Good camera upgrades, Dependable battery life, Helpful safety features

60Hz display, No telephoto camera, eSIM might be a pain for some

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

A universal genius? The Plus model of the Samsung Galaxy S20 series offers a bit more of everything than the Galaxy S20 does. There is a bit more screen here, more battery there, and an additional rear-facing camera too.

very bright screen, 120 Hz screen great to use, modern software, fast Wi-Fi, 8K video recording...

...but without autofocus, limitations for 60 FPS videos from 1080p upwards, poor web-browsing performance, heavy throttling under load, preinstalled bloatware

The Galaxy S20 Plus is the best Android phone I've used over the last year. It offers the complete package. A robust camera setup, an impressive screen, and it has the performance to match. The addition of 5G connectivity is something that some -- maybe most?

Performance, Battery live, 10x hybrid optic zoom is something every phone should have

Having all hardware buttons on one side is confusing., 30x zoom isn't terribly useful.
