Definitely not worth the price, but still the best in 5G

The S20+ is an across the board flagship, and while its design lacks a bit of va va voom and the zoom isn’t S20 Ultra good, as a package, it strikes a brilliant balance.

If you’re looking for a flagship phone with category-leading speakers, the Galaxy S20+ isn’t it, especially if you want to pump out bass. The sound it does provide, though, is fairly well balanced and features solid mid-tones and treble.

Well-balanced midrange and treble when listening to music or watching movies; Good spatial rendering; with good localizability and stereo balance; Good preservation of tonal range; Clear and intelligible recording of voices; Great preservation of sound dynamics; Microphone directivity improves...

Tonal reproduction lacks bass at all volumes; Excessive high-end at maximum volume impairs the gaming experience; Inconsistent spatial performances depending on the app used; Improved volume preservation over the S10+; but still behind current competitors

We didn’t miss the S20 Ultra’s 100x Space Zoom or extra heft when reviewing the S20+. In fact, between its lither, more comfortable to manage design, better battery life and improved stability across the UI and camera, the S20 Plus is our big-screened S20 champ. Competition is stiff this year, with Apple upping its game in the 11 Pro, and Oppo recently releasing a very premium alternative with its sights set on the S20-series, but Samsung has just done enough to make it to the top shelf.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is a nearly-perfect smartphone that connects to more 5G networks and has better cameras than ever, though you’ll be paying for the privilege, as this is the priciest Plus smartphone yet. If you don’t mind ho-hum design, the phone handles anything you throw at it, and should last you years - especially assuming 5G networks stay compatible with the S20 Plus as they build out.

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.

Samsung’s 2020 range of Galaxy S flagship series includes Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra. These three flagship phones from Samsung catering to three different price points showcase the raw power of hardware backed by good software features.
