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.
