Struggles with stable performance; Not adequate for gaming; Shows ads on the lockscreen

A low price, in this case 229 Euros (~$259), is not everything and the performance must be right. For the Samsung Galaxy M20 that is mostly the case, at least in everyday life. The great display is big and sharp and its narrow bezels and drop notch make the whole model look quite modern.

low price; a lot of internal memory; great display; strong battery; comprehensive equipment and performance for everyday life

lousy camera; especially at night; case is not of a very high quality due to the plastic; currently only Android 8.1; fingerprint sensor placed too high

Old chipset; Average front and back cameras; Inaccurate Facial recognition
