Samsung keeps the upgrade simple to ensure the Galaxy S20 is another success

Colourful; natural screen; Just enough new features; Good audio

Not a huge upgrade

It has all the features you'd want in a flagship phone, plus a few more, without going overboard like the pricey S20 Ultra. The regular Galaxy S20 is the best Android flagship of 2020 so far

High refresh rate meets fantastic image quality; Best hardware and build quality of any Android phone; All-day battery life… usually

5G not worth it for many; Camera image processing a bit strong; RIP headphone socket

This phone is fantastic for the average to heavy user. 8GB Ram, Snapdragon's newest chipset, incredible screen, good battery, great bluetooth. I'm a heavy user, lots of YouTube, Audible, Pandora, some games, lots of photos and videos with editing, TONS of video calls for work.

120Hz is a buttery smooth; game-changing experience; Beautifully crafted devices; Screens have rich; vibrant colors; look amazing; Better zoom capabilities than most phones; Very good battery life (but only at 60Hz)

120Hz option takes a heavy toll on battery life; In-screen fingerprint scanner experience is among the worst on a flagship; Selfies often turn out botched due to a bug; A bit on the pricey side

For most people, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is the best Android phone available right now. This will likely be the biggest selling flagship Android device of the year, with a lot of happy customers.

Lovely screen; A perfect size; Huge camera improvements over the S10

The fingerprint scanner is poor; 120Hz refresh rate drains battery; It looks just like every other Samsung phone

In previous years, a recommendation for the regular sized Galaxy S normally came with a caveat about battery life. With the S20, that's not necessary: this is a great flagship phone, full stop.

Fantastic display that dominates the front; Great battery for a smaller phone; Faster charging; Lovely design; Camera system is versatile

OneUI software has its frustrations; Agressive blur and shallow depth of field from camera; Fingerprint sensor not always reliable

But if you want a dependable, stylish flagship that does everything well and will see you through the next 2+ years without completely decimating your bank account, then the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G is a great choice.

Brilliant screen; Loads of power; Good cameras

Feels samey; Overshadowed by S20 Plus and Ultra; Can't have both 120Hz and QHD+

The standard Galaxy S20 is simply the best phone that Samsung makes right now, balancing power and camera specs with a compact form factor

Having used the Galaxy S20 as my daily driver for a little over a week now, and having previously tested the Galaxy S20 Ultra, I can safely say that the smallest, cheapest smartphone in the line up is absolutely the one to buy.

Compact feel; Subtle display curves; 120 Hz smoothness; Good multi-tasker; Fast charging

Space Zoom is a gimmick; No 120 Hz at QHD+; Still expensive

The Galaxy S20 improves on last year's S10 line in every way

Perfect size; Excellent display; Great battery life

Best features aren't in Canada; Fingerprint scanner is hit and miss; One UI can be confusing
