The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I chose between s20, s21 and iphone 12. Due to the fact that s20 has a more affordable price, it has a curved screen and a complete set, and also (as for me) the design took it better. Purchase not disappointed. The smartphone works really fast. Exynos 990, although it gets warm, is fine with me. If you use the screen at a frequency of 120hz (the picture really becomes smoother and more pleasant), then the battery is discharged quite quickly. But it also charges for about an hour with native…

Pros
  • Screen The fingerprint scanner Design Performance Android system
Cons
  • Battery Camera (namely, the software part of the camera)

Terrible product, not worth the money at all!

6. In samsung pay, the fingerprint and the ability to enter a pin code sometimes disappear. You can open and close the application, restart your phone, but the payment option will return by itself when it decides. On my device, the problem persists even after ating the app multiple times. 7. The phone gets very hot, I don't play games and the hardest thing to run on it is samsung dex. Sometimes when talking, the phone becomes simply not comfortable to hold to the ear. Now that the rational…

Pros
  • Samsung dex is really very convenient, but this is not the merit of this particular model. All other advantages of this model faded for me against the background of its shortcomings.
Cons
  • 1. Battery. She is very, very weak. If at the beginning of operation it was still tolerable, now I have to always turn on the energy saving mode (this is a separate disappointment, because one of the key points for me is the always on function, which turns off in this mode) and carry a powerbank with me. In the cold, the phone turned off several times at a charge of 60-80%. Are you seriously? I thought this problem was solved 10 years ago. It would be possible not to continue further, because. minus dependence on the outlet is currently very significant, but unfortunately this is not all. 2. Camera. At the beginning, it caused very positive emotions, but after a while, problems with focusing began. When photographing objects close up, the quality of the images is not something that does not pull on the flagship, it is frankly bad. And it’s better not to compare your photos with other smartphones, especially those taken at night, you will be very upset. 3. Document scanning function. Thank you for it, it would be very useful in a home office environment if it worked, but no. Never, never does the phone see the document and offer to scan it. Tried to enable, disable the function, use different backgrounds. My husband on s9 perfectly recognizes, I have one case out of a hundred. And also look at how scanning is implemented in iphone, this is heaven and earth, and there is nothing difficult to put a white background on, samsung simply crops the photo to fit the sheet. 4. Screen. When scrolling large pages, it starts to twitch, I tried to set different settings, resolution, refresh rate. Nothing helps, and it is very hard on the eyes. 5. Automatic screen brightness adjustment. I don't know what happened to the sensor or software, but it's hell. The screen can spontaneously fall into zero brightness or vice versa for no reason. Lately, all I've been doing is opening the curtain and setting the brightness.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Moved from galaxy s7. If there weren’t any wild problems with the place on the 7th galaxy, then I probably wouldn’t have switched, since the 7th - it’s inferior in photos and autonomy, if not much, plus there was a pulse oximeter on the 7th - a very relevant feature in 2022 In general, I have only positive impressions from the phone, I do not regret that I changed s7 to s20, although s7 will now be a good phone as a spare :) I didn’t think I’d say that, but for several months I didn’t get…

Pros
  • The screen is beautiful even at 60. The front camera finally does not lather harshly and does not try to apply extra filters. The game pulls quickly. Sound when watching videos is very good. 128GB of space after galaxy s7 with 32 is just a fairy tale The phone on the stock charger charges 10-15 minutes faster than the s7 with a smaller battery on its stock charger. I liked the sound and convenience of the headphones included in the kit.
Cons
  • Batteries in my use case last a stretch until the end of the day. I was "pleased" with the Samsung disclaimer that the battery is really 3800 + -, in fact it shows 3768 in AIDA64, so there is no need to go for marketing. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, trottle in games. I really didn’t like that after the ate, the phone warmed up to 55 degrees and didn’t want to cool down for about 50 minutes, what he did there is not clear.

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Before that, I had a Redmi 5 Plus and for me the difference in phones is palpable. Yes, there was no expensive equipment before, but, surprisingly, I didn’t have any WOW effect from the phone. Yes, in many ways it is cooler and it is felt, but for 70k, for which it is offered too many jambs. For 40k a normal phone, you can forgive the shortcomings. Since I am a photographer, I wanted a good camera phone, but I didn’t want to sacrifice comfort for the sake of the camera when buying an apple…

Pros
  • 1. Screen. Quality and calibration - top. Mode with saturated colors - for egoists, tk. everything becomes brighter, more colorful and more pleasant until you open the photos on your monitor. Great 120Hz. Many wrote in reviews and on the forum that they were eating a battery - they didn’t notice much, and it’s not critical either. The lack of borders is also a plus. This phone is often compared to the iphone 11, but when I held them side by side in my hands, the apple seemed like a relic of the past, sloppy, with large frames and a massive heavy body. 2. Ergonomics. The phone is compact, narrow, pleasantly lies in the hand. The first time you take the phone in your hand, you doubt that it has a filling inside at all. Apparently, he got used to heavy phones and this one immediately caused a contrast in size and weight. 3. I read that the phone has water protection. Naturally, I will not check this, but let it be a plus. 4. The speed of the phone. I have an Exynos phone and before buying I was very stopped by the fact that this chip is here. On the Internet, they write a lot about him and mostly bad, especially about overheating and brakes. Perhaps in the future I will supplement the review, but now the phone works as smoothly as possible, smartly and does not heat up. By "not heated" I mean the operation of the device as a whole. I won’t lie that when shooting 4k with stabilization in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe cameras, heating occurs, in the heat it even burns your finger a little if it is nearby, but I think that this is due to the size of the phone for the most part, although I could be wrong. 5. Cameras. Again, what do you compare it to? If you take the same iphone, then maybe it will be better in some ways, but for the most part algorithms with software decide. The quality of the photos is more than satisfactory for me, the video too, although I would say that there are some problems with the bitrate and in places small details fall apart. I hope that in the future they will correct somehow, albeit not critically. 6. I took a phone a little more expensive than 40k with the Traid-in promotion. For the money I have never regretted that I took it. Over 70k is already a dubious device, though. 7. Fast charging
Cons
  • 1. The front camera seemed rather weak for a phone of this level. 2. Marketing. Why 8k if they are not working? Instead, you can come up with something better for shooting. Why is electronic stabilization only in FHD? 30x zoom prank. I took it off a couple of times and forgot that there is such a mode on the phone, since I would not say that it is working. Disappointed custom videos on YouTube, where everyone licks the phone for as much as he was paid. Well, I would like better stabilization in the video. Well, in general, the camera application is somehow too tricky. In some mode there is a width, in some it is not, somewhere one nuance, somewhere else. It does not feel like a full-fledged camera phone. 3. Algorithms in the photo. Yes, the quality of the photos is good, but until you start to notice some little things, which then add up to a lump. For example, when shooting at 64mp and zooming in, the picture after the picture is processed for some time, and then becomes decrepit in some places. It creates a feeling of fig gluing photos by algorithms. HDR also does not always work correctly, not to mention the night mode. 4. NFC. No matter how hard I tried to understand it, it never worked out. What is Google Pay, what is Samsung Pay - one field berry. Sometimes the phone at the terminal will give out 6 red icons with an exclamation point in a couple of seconds that it was not possible to pay contactlessly, but it happens instantly, but it’s still less common. Why this is happening I have not figured out. 5. As I wrote, there is heating. I will write it down as a minus, since there is a feeling that in the future this may lead to brakes on the phone.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

A very worthy smartphone, I am very satisfied with the purchase, especially that I did not immediately invest a lot of money in it, but took it on a Forward subscription. I'd rather change it in a year for a new one, because again the prices are up, I think. At first I regretted not taking the Ultra, but I read the reviews and am happy with the S20. Very beautiful stylish smartphone with a large screen and all the top features! And I cry less

Pros
  • Great camera

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolutely useless product, not suitable for use.

This smartphone is the worst flagship I have ever purchased. It is impossible to use a smartphone, it overheats absolutely from everything, do you want to watch more than one episode of your favorite series? Expect overheating of the processor over 55 degrees and the subsequent closing of all applications. When scrolling the FBontakte tape, the smartphone is already becoming uncomfortable to hold in your hand due to its temperature. Optimization in many games is terrible, microfreezes and…

Pros
  • Display Design
Cons
  • Overheat Quality Front-camera Performance Battery

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

Last 4.5 years I went with xiaomi for 10k. Decided it was time to take it to the next level. I went to the store to see what was there . As soon as I took this baby at 6.2 inches, it fit into my hand perfectly (the hand is small, but not girlish), I climbed the menu, tried to see the flicker, but did not notice it with my own eyes. Finally took it. The eyes do not get tired, it works great, but it catches glitches, like any phone. For ordinary tasks: messenger, games, navigator, camera - there…

Pros
  • - Comfortably lies in the hand; - 120 Hertz screen, so it seems that everything is flying; - Modern goodies: wireless charging, nfc, decent camera. - 8 gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of ROM - should be enough for a couple of years with confidence.
Cons
  • - The fingerprint scanner rarely works the first time: more often the second or subsequent; - There is not enough time to figure out the tricks (not everything is intuitive), for example, there is a function to connect two blue-toothed headsets and the first time everything turned out great, and then this thing does not work in any way, although it was reconnected. Ears - ordinary apple pods; - Overpriced. For me, the red price is 40-45k; - NFC is not always possible to pay the first time, but this is rare. - Battery doesn't last long. I recharge during the day.

Bad quality, not worth the spent money.

I went to the official Samsung service, I thought that the problem could only be with me . There they began to invent stories that it could not be that any Samsung heats up by an average of 60 ° C. They didn't even want to hear the explanation on my part that my phone was heating up much more. They reinstalled the firmware for me and said that everything should work out. After all, I read the reviews and realized that the Samsung S20 on the Exynos 990 processor will not work normally. Alas…

Pros
  • The night shooting mode and just the quality of the photos is on top, I really liked the camera, it makes the photo even better on a tripod. The speed of the phone at first glance is good.
Cons
  • Heated like a frying pan during the use of social. networks and games. It is not possible to hold the phone during a photo shoot Very quickly sit down literally in ~ 3.5 hours with active shooting. If the phone just lies for 1 hour, then it loses an average of 11% of the charge.

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

This is my third phone from samsung, before that there were A9 and S10, I became a fan of this company. Recently I decided to take this model because of the camera, because. In my work, I have to travel a lot and it is not always possible to take a digital camera with me, but there is something to shoot. Took under the Samsung Forward program. They give cool goodies in the form of a free service, separate payment and exchange for a new smartphone in a year. By phone. In principle, the camera…

Pros
  • Definitely a camera, the price justifies the quality, I am very satisfied and recommend this model
Cons
  • sometimes crashes from apps

You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

Bought a Samsung S20 on March 19th. I chose between Samsung and Iphone 11 for a long time. After looking at a bunch of reviews, I missed all the cons because I have long wanted a flagship from Samsung. So. I was very wrong, they really can make such a phone. I do not argue with him as an android has pluses - the screen is bright and a bunch of cool features, BUT! The only thing I want to do after a week is to return this flagship to the manufacturer, but they won’t accept it from me because…

Pros
  • - Beautiful OneUI shell - A light weight - The main camera takes good photos in some modes
Cons
  • And now about the most painful. - Price. I bought it for 70 thousand a week ago. Now the price in stores has already dropped to 55, this is the fastest depreciating smartphone that I have seen. - Autonomy. None. The percentage of charging falls just before our eyes and you're going nuts from it. For example: I went with my girlfriend to the store. There was 100% charge here and there, we came back with an iPhone at 99% and a Samsung at 71% . This is not an exact test, for bloggers. But no autonomy. - Shim. Look at almost any review of the Samsung s20 and take the stripes across the screen. And if you look at reviews with PWM measurement, then there is generally pain. As well as your eyes after looking at this screen. -CPU. Everyone knows that for South Korea, the USA and China they put a normal Snapdragon 865 and the camera modules depend on it, which are also different there and shoot better. So Snap has more autonomy. Just a shame. - Terrible selfie camera that can't take selfies at all.

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

I took the device for my birthday. Samsung spoiled the gift. The phone is not terrible, but if you want to play at least sometimes and leave the house with confidence that your phone will not run out of power, if you want a device that does not irritate with constant warmth in your hands, then definitely not here. Speaking about the snapdragon version, the device can be called the best phone of 2022, since the processor removes almost all the shortcomings that I mentioned. I have exynos, so…

Pros
  • 1. Screen. Very beautiful colors 2. One UI. The shell of the Samsung is really good. Everything can be customized
Cons
  • 1. Sick Exynos processor. There are occasional stutters even at 120Hz in everyday use, although the processor produces good numbers in synthetic tests. All flaws due to the processor 2. Autonomy. In heavy games, do not wait more than 3 hours of the screen. With normal use (social networks, YouTube .) 4-5 hours. In power saving mode, I squeezed out 6 hours, but this mode removes all the charms of a smartphone in the form of high performance and a 120 Hz screen, and the smartphone turns into a regular phone for 25k, and even with heating. Samsung advises to put a dark theme and an adaptive power mode. I look at these tips with tears. The flagship at maximum settings SHOULD work for at least 6 hours of the screen. 3. Heating. Sit in social networks for half an hour and he is already warmer than you. Constantly hands from this sweat, really not a pleasant factor 4. Work under load. A masterpiece in this regard. Half an hour of productive play and you just want to leave it alone. The heating is sooooo good, if you put it on charge at the time of the game, then without exaggeration there is a feeling that the device will explode. He even burns 5. Camera. The picture quality is neither great nor terrible. But the heating from video shooting is sooooo strong. I didn’t shoot for more than 10 minutes, it’s a pity to load my “flagship” like that 6. It turned out to be strange for me that there is no glass for this phone. The scanner only works with 3-4k glasses, and with the rest, be prepared to remove the mask and show a face that is rarely recognized the first time

Well, something like that, I'm not an agent and not an opponent of Samsung, I just bought it to try, until I was impressed with my jambs. I don’t remember s3 or s4 for a long time, that’s when I picked it up and was impressed. Samsung - if you read - trash your flagships, ready to return it back. By the way, the charge also has nothing to hold (I am writing this review after 4 hours of use)

Pros
  • The screen is gorgeous, although not familiar (narrow and long), the size is small, it is cool in the hand, the sound is just a bomb, you can say a column. And that's it.
Cons
  • Before him, there was a xiaomi mi8 on a snapdragon 845 of 2022, to be honest, mi8 is really faster to use - it's instant turn on from a fingerprint, face recognition, even in complete darkness. Galaxy s20 in this regard, the brake, in the face only in daylight, the imprint generally infuriates - you press it on the screen - and he - press harder . you press - and he - put your finger on the entire plane, ugh, this is the flagship, 3-5 seconds to unlock?. But that's not all, you turn on the camera, it's nothing bad, you shoot for three minutes . iiiiii . the metal side frame in the camera area, like a microwave, burns your hand to an unpleasant one, then I did not expect this . In general, disappointed, 30 kilorubles is the maximum price for it. This is the first day of use. I don’t know, maybe how the auto-running should go through, get used to it? Not very funny for such grandmas. I bought it in the Samsung store in St. Petersburg on 05/21/2022. I wouldn’t say that the camera is terrible, yes, it shoots better than 12 mp on an old phone, but it’s not a breakthrough, it’s just a higher resolution, well, the lenses are probably better, in principle, and in general, it shoots normally.

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

In general, the device is very pleasant. Let's see how annoying overheating will be. As an excuse for the minuses, I will say that there are not particularly phones of "normal" size on the market. Huawei P40 was considered, but after consultations it became clear that it would be difficult for me without Google. And you, #Samsung, it's time to switch completely to Snapdragon and not piss off customers. As a consolation, I am ready to accept wireless headphones as a gift. Because the…

Pros
  • - The uniqueness of the apparatus in its neat dimensions, unlike most elephant shovels. Very comfortable to hold in hand. This bribed. - Very smart thinking - Loud and nice sounding stereo speaker. - A lot of nice features, such as backlighting with a thin juicy strip of the screen frame. It looks cool.
Cons
  • - It's heating up. With or without. You sit in instant messengers, open service applications in parallel - it becomes hot. I did not want to believe in these reviews before, but it's true. Roasts hands mercilessly. Previously, there was a Mi8 on a dragon - the performance is not particularly inferior, but it didn’t fry like that even in harsh gaming conditions. - Battery. I charge once a day, but back to back. There is no energy reserve. I suppose that a lot of energy is spent on warming up the smart to the temperature of a freshly fried cutlet. Still would.

Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

The first week was terribly annoying. Because of the imprint in particular. ate: I got rid of this device and returned to Apple, God, what happiness! C20 is an absolutely unsuccessful model, the imprint is just a pain! Face ID works both crookedly and slowly, now everything is fine on iPhone 11! And cheaper! The phone is NOT worth that kind of money absolutely!

Pros
  • Camera. OneUI. Fleet.
Cons
  • The print is terrible. Facial recognition is terrible! Headphones Galaxy Buds Plus - sucks! Quiet, uncomfortable, trashy sound quality! Rubbish! Air Podsy2 - delight and sound and do not strain the ear canal, you simply do not notice them!

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

The camera is good, but there was no direct head failure. There was no wow effect after s7. Yes, everything is a little faster, but the camera is better, there are fresh technologies. The development of smartphones has slowed down. You can safely take the phone for 3-4 years. The Samsung s20 should last that long (the question is really only about the battery, how quickly it will degrade).

Pros
  • Good screen in a compact package. All current technologies, stock for 3-4 years. Productive, nothing slows down.
Cons
  • The in-screen fingerprint sensor doesn't work well compared to my old s7. The battery life is not very good, enough for a day maximum. Somehow it consumes a lot of battery in standby mode. Large gaps at the joints of the glass with the body, sand is clogged.

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

For me, in general, the phone for such a price is quite good. There are pros and cons, like everyone else, somewhere a little more somewhere a little less. Again, this is Samsung and you need to be prepared for their jambs if you decide to buy their devices. My rating is 4-. Its pros: Screen, main camera, ergonomics, sound, price (I bought it in the official store using the trade in system for 35 handed over my old dying S9) for this phone, this price is the ceiling. With its cons. Autonomy…

Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

Before him there was S10, I chose the newer model, I watched S20FE S21 and S21FE, I dismissed the FE series after I looked at them in the store, looked at comparison, reviews . cut off by functionality, under-flagships. I took S21, 8/256 GB, but after the first week I was disappointed in the camera, for me this is an important component, since I shoot a lot. In terms of other parameters, it may be good, but it didn’t work for me at all, and I’m glad that I managed to sell it at a profit. After…

Pros
  • camera, battery, screen

I received my device yesterday by pre-order in red at a price of 66,481 on the official website. In general, satisfied. Moved from Galaxy S8. The main camera shoots very well. Frontal, in my opinion, not much better than the figure eight. The smartphone is comfortable to hold in the hand. Feels very comparable to the S8, but there is a difference in the diagonal. In terms of aesthetics, the phone is beautiful. The hole for the front camera does not interfere at all, I got used to it right away.

Pros
  • Gorgeous screen. main camera. Loud noise. Response speed. Reverse charge.
Cons
  • Front-camera. Pretty slippery without a cover. There is no way to confirm transactions in Samaung Pay by face.

I expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

In general, something like this - autonomy is the biggest pain for me. If you don’t use the camera and the player, then 40% remains until the evening, otherwise from 8 am to 7 pm 15%, which instantly fly away to 7% (I just didn’t experiment further, I set it to charge in order to get home). Talking "wait a couple of weeks the phone will adjust" did not really give anything. Already 23 days in use, it didn’t get better, and I didn’t wait, because this is nonsense. Problems with glasses also…

Pros
  • Design, menu, camera
Cons
  • autonomy

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I took a galaxy s7 instead. Seven arranged everything, I just wanted to "ate". 8, 9, 10 generation did not like the curved screen, but this one is right) Face id and fingerprint unlock work super, they just don’t recognize it in a mask;) it came with a protective film. They saved on a protective case, the Chinese are not greedy . I had to take a case for 1500k, so as not to kill on the first day. I'm waiting for shockproof ones. I took it on the manufacturer's website for trade in. In total…

Pros
  • Almost flat screen, moisture protection, camera, memory capacity, size, tactilely pleasant, comfortable in the hand, a lot of all sorts of chips - I still customize it for myself)
Cons
  • The battery is rather weak for such a phone, slippery (they could have at least put a silicone cover, it almost fell out during inspection 3 times). No 3.5mm jack - headphone jack and charging one
