Review on πŸ’™ Renewed Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G Factory Unlocked Android Phone with 128GB Storage in Cloud Blue by Phurichaya Dhcana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Switched to a phone from Huawei P10. At first I had to get used to the settings. Something a little better implemented in EMUI, something in One UI. Gradually figured out and now almost everyone is happy. The question only remained to manage applications in the background. The Exynos 990 processor on the S20+ has been criticized by many, but in everyday tasks its power is excessive. It may not be as good at gaming as top Snapdragon phones, but phone buyers in this price segment are unlikely to buy a phone for toys. Apps opened quickly on the Huawei P10, but even faster on the S20+. Even the brake Skype opens almost instantly. Perhaps this is not the merit of the processor, but the fast memory. Or maybe it's the merit of Android 10. But I'm definitely pleased with the speed of the S20+. Compared to an older phone, the Galaxy S20+ feels expensive. Screen, interface design, smoothness, haptic feedback, camera. There are also drawbacks, but they do not negate the overall feeling of a high-end phone. Well, it is important not to forget to close it in a case, because the back of the phone is very similar to plastic :)

Pros
  • 1. A very good camera, although Samsung still has a lot to look forward to. After Huawei P10, the camera is better, but the first days did not feel the wow effect. However, almost a month later, I was convinced that the S20 + was head and shoulders above the old phone in photography, and two heads higher in video shooting. - The phone does not have optical zoom, only hybrid. Own optical zoom is only x1.06, the rest is due to digital technologies. However, when I compared the approximation with the iPhone XS (the phone of a friend), the Samsung S20+ performed better in detail. - S20+ night mode is much better than Huawei P20 Pro (another friend's phone). - The detail of the faces in the photo is just excellent. The main thing is not to shoot against the light in the room. Then the faces begin to soap. - I also compared photos of the S20 + with the Nikon D5100 DSLR, which is gathering dust in my closet. In the right light, both are good. The S20+ outperforms the DSLR: in artificial light, in the dark. The S20+ loses to a DSLR: when shooting faces indoors against daylight, in zoom scenarios during the day. - When shooting video, the phone was very pleased with autofocus, which does not slow down when moving in the frame. After P10 - it's just a fairy tale. - When shooting video in low light, the scene is very noisy. It would be nice to improve the noise reduction here. However, on the old phone in these conditions, nothing was visible at all. 2. Beautiful full-size display. After it, Huawei P10 is perceived as a pager. 3. Smooth operation of the interface. The phone works especially smoothly in 120 Hz mode, but in this mode my eyes got tired quickly. I had to go back to 60 Hz. However, after P10, the phone is still very smooth. 4. Beautiful interface ONE UI (compare with EMUI). 5. Each application can be assigned its own notification sound. For me, it was very important to assign my sounds to a couple of applications. In EMUI 9.1, this was not possible. 6. Excellent vibration. In P10, the vibration was turned off for me, because it was annoying. Here, on the contrary, tactile feedback is always on when typing. Nice to use.
Cons
  • 1. Without a case, the back of the phone looks budget. When tapped, a dull cheap sound. 2. Unlocking with an under-screen scanner compared to the P10 capacitive sensor is a step backwards. You have to wait for finger recognition 2 times longer. Unlocking by face camera is also not fast. And it doesn't work well in the dark. 3. Autonomy compared to P10 is only 20% higher (and this is in 60 Hz mode). I wanted to turn on the power saving mode (here it is called "Medium performance"), but in this mode the calendar is not synchronized. I had to switch back to the "Optimal Performance" mode. In fact, my phone is enough for 1.5 days with 2 hours of screen per day + music. It doesn't last until two days. True, to justify Samsung, it is worth saying that here all applications hang in RAM, while in Huawei they were constantly unloaded from the background. One way or another, I expected more from a 4500 mAh battery. 4. Tired eyes in 120 Hz mode. Switched to 60 Hz. This was somewhat disappointing, since 120 Hz was one of the reasons for me to buy this particular phone, and not, for example, the Honor V30 Pro. 5. RAM management is not intuitive. This is the only serious complaint about the interface, I have already figured out the rest and got used to it. You can close applications through the "Recent applications" menu, through the "Device usage" section, through selecting the Power saving mode. It's kind of confusing. I would not care about this, but I want extra applications not to hang in the background (and not eat the battery), but at the same time that all notifications, ates and synchronization occur without delay. Here it would be possible to add the possibility of manual settings for the power saving mode.
