  • NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S20 PLUS ➡️ mikeobrienmedi...
    Big improvements in screen, battery, processor, and cameras
    There are lots of videos that end up just showing you slideshows of what the cameras can do. While I will push the cameras to the limits and show the test results, that is not what this video will be. I want to talk about the overall experience of this phone
    A. Physical tour of the phone
    Colors = cosmic black, cosmic grey, cloud blue, cloud white, aura red
    Display = 6.7” Gorilla Glass 6 Infinity-O display, 3200 x 1440, HDR10+
    Cameras = 64MP, 3x optical + Wide + Ultra Wide, 30x Super Zoom, 1.76” sensor
    10MP selfie, 12MP Wide, 12MP ultra wide, 64MP Telephoto (Wide = f/1.8 for night)
    960fps super slow mo at 720p
    Depth cameras
    Wireless charging 2.0 & wireless powershare
    Buttons
    No HR sensor, no headphone jack
    A. Samsung’s claims about this phone
    A Revolutionary Camera Experience (Zoom, Resolution, Night, 8k video, steady, Single Take Mode)
    5G
    Long Battery Life (4500 mAh)
    secure processor dedicated to protecting
    120Hz screen, doubled touch sensitivity (240Hz sample rate) - currently limited to 1080p but there may be an update to change this
    B. Signature samsung features
    IP68 water resistance
    Ultrasonic FP sensor :(
    Facial recognition :(
    Bixby, Bixby routines, edge lighting, video wallpaper
    Comes with protective film
    Spotify and Netflix integrated in Bixby
    Google Duo video chat integration
    Pro mode video
    C. About the S20+:
    Snapdragon 865
    12GB RAM, 128GB storage
    OneUI 2.0
    Bluetooth dual connect - play audio through two devices simultaneously
    Cost: $1199+
    TESTS:
    Single take mode
    Night photo
    Fully Zoomed
    BT Dual Connect
    Video Test (for 8k, we will zoom in 2x and 4x) - limitations (stability, autofocus tracking, video effects, zoom)
    Test selfie camera
    Drawbacks:
    1. Price? Maybe a downside
    2. Ultrasonic FP sensor could be upgraded. They have the first gen ultrasonic FP sensor, and not the upgraded 3D Sonic Max, which has a bigger area and can recognize multiple FPs
    3. Not the newest displays from Samsung that reduce blue light, and are 15% more efficient.
    4. Photos of faces are rough
    5. Samsung Daily seems like a waste of space
    6. No headphone jack

      Great review! I use bixby every day actually and the phone suggesting/ making pictures from a video could be really interesting for example; filming your loved ones child, lady and dog :) or social events like let's say weddings or exhibitions. I' ve made up my mind I always buy the plus versions. After conversing with my provider, it seems to me the Ultra is more of like a mini tablet idea to me. I was wondering if Samsung decided to put old-fashioned fm-am radio in it though.. probably not :) anyways kudos for the review it helped a lot in ordering the S20+ cheers from Holland

    Got my s20+ last week and I'm loving it. For me, it's the perfect size (one-handed usage and still a large phone) and perfect weight. The camera is still amazing, even if not as advanced as the Ultra, but it's more than sufficient for me. Colour and resolution of on-screen image is sharp and high quality. One thing I still have to get used to, is the new location of the volume buttons - I keep going to the left hand side out of habit, but eventually you get used to it. My only personal regret is not getting the 512GB version. Thanks for making this comprehensive review.

    Great review. I'm 49yrs old & always had iPhone's. I have the Note 10+ and love it. (My 1st Android) Even though it has 2 minor scratches on the Display. Not sure how. I treat my phones like babies. I'm not sold on the "Best scratch resistant Display or glass claims." My iphone 8+ is yrs old & I have nothing on it. It's a beautiful clean phone. This Note has been outdoors on a wooden porch & never dropped. Just odd. The one issue I have is watching movies or videos outdoors in the sunlight. You cannot see anything! You have to find a shady spot & maybe you'll be able to see the movie. One thing I had no issues with on my later model iPhone's. I love this Unicorn Beetle Pro Case that I've had this Note in since it was new.

    @wetcat833 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've been a iPhone user since the start but due to me getting extremely annoyed with Apple ( a long story ) I got the S20+ on the release day. Since then it has been a battle to stop myself from throwing it against the wall and smashing it to pieces. The screen, great. The battery life, great. Camera, great. That's where any positivity ends. The finger print sensor? Well... I'm ready to smash the thing even before I get to that part. Double tap the screen to wake it up? Maybe... after several attempts. Now I just fumble around for the side button as it's much quicker. Now we get to the fingerprint sensor. Yep, several attempts and I give up and just dial my code. This is after reprogramming it several times. If your hands are a bit sweaty or you've been working and your fingers are just a little bit dusty, don't bother even trying. My old phone, a 6s, press one button and you are up. On this thing, activating it sometimes takes longer than my actual call. This is a clear case of fashion taking priority over function. I knew that the Android Os is a dogs breakfast but I only want it to make phone calls and listen to music. How hard can it be? Well....as a phone, sending smoke signals might be a better alternative. So far, I'll be kind and say 50% off my calls I've had to do in 2 or 3 sessions as it keeps on dropping out. Last night I was on the phone for 2 hours trying to comfort a friend who was having trouble coping with this pandemic and I had to call back 6 times. this is at home where I never had this problem before and it doesn't matter if it has a cover or is bare assed. As a MP3 player? Well, I was misinformed that I can download iTunes. You get Apple Music which I cannot get to play my legally owned music and have to pay for the privilege. The real problem is that I live in a remote area and I have no internet connection while working. No problem, you can download the files and play them off line. Not on this phone. I spent a day downloading files to replicate my existing library. All great. Except the next time I launch Apple Music, All my files have the cloud symbol next to them requiring me to download them again. From release date to this day, I have not got one song on this thing that I can play off line. I have tried every idea on the web to get this to work to the point that Apple deleted my posts from the Apple Forum. I wanted a phone and a music player and ended up with a camera with long battery life and a small tv to watch TH-cam on. I'm an ex professional photographer so I don't use this for taking pictures as I have much better equipment for that. Since I only have connection at home, I watch TH-cam on my 70 inch screen. So what did I get for my money? I'm currently downloading a series of Android MP3 players to see if any are useable. But this won't solve my drop out issue. It looks like I'll be cutting my losses and getting rid of this joke and selling my soul back again to the Apple demon.

    Great, other than the fingerprint comment. A scratch over the fingerprint scanner doesn't alter the security of the device whatsoever. You can match a fingerprint accurately with as little as 20% of the finger. A scratch won't do anything to alter this.

    Thank you for the review. I have a 2015 OPPO R7g and people often have trouble hearing me because I don't like holding the phone firmly against my face, and when I do it presses other buttons and somehow often turns on the flashlight. Reviews don't seem to cover this aspect of phones - their performance as phones, especially compared with handsets. Otherwise I loved your review as I am planning to switch to the Samsung S20 + 5G. By the way, my OPPO won't let me upgrade the Android OS above 5.1, whereas 6.0 at least is necessary to download the Australian COVID-19 app which can be used to identify people anyone who catches the virus came in contact with (if they have the app as recommended by our Prime Minister).

  • @jeffc6059
    @jeffc6059 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Potential buyers with special interest in the performance of the cameras on this phone should understand the actual optical zoom is 1.08 so the focal length of the actual lens is basically the same as the non-zoom camera. This is unlike say the S10 5G which the actual lens of the camera is 2X. However Samsung makes up for this by using a 64MP sensor. This basically results in as good or better zoom shots up to about 5X zoom than a phone with a tele-camera with a 2X or 3X optical zoom lens but only a 12MP or 16MP sensor. But to say the phone uses digital zoom above 3X is incorrect, it is ALWAYS using digital zoom on the telephone camera.
    The reason why it performs well can be explained by considering number of sensor pixels used decreases by the zoom factor squared when using digital zoom. So, the lowest zoom of the tele lens on the S20+ at 3X is essentially a 7MP sensor. 3 squared is 9. 64MP divided by 9 is 7.1MP. (You may be wondering, if you are always cropping the sensor than what's the point? The 64MP sensor is primarily to provide 8K video recording capability.) Compared to say the S10 5G which has a 2X optical zoom and 12MP sensor. So a 3X zoom for the S10 5G is a 1.5X digital zoom of the 2X optical. 1.5 squared = 2.25. 12MP/2.25 = 5.3MP. So you can see how the S20+ can keep up with other cameras with 2X or 3X optical zoom but only 12MP sensors. It's notable though that with 2X zoom, a camera with a 12MP sensor and a 2X optical zoom has a higher resolution image than the S20+ at 2X zoom since the S20+ doesn't have an optical zoom lens.
    What's more interesting is the 64MP sensor on the S20+ has a 0.8um pixel pitch which means the sensor is roughly 9,500 pixels by 7,150. So at 3X zoom the sensor output is going to be digitally cropped to around 3,160 x 2,380. However no matter what zoom resolution you use, Samsung outputs a 4032x3024 size image, basically "faking" the resolution for all images taken at anything over 1X zoom. The file size goes down as the zoom goes up even though the image resolution stays at 4032x3024 because the JPEG compression algorithm basically can see it's a fake resolution (essentially a lower resolution source image interpolated up to a higher resolution.)
    I'm not sure why manufacturers do this except for only from a customer satisfaction perspective as people would be complaining why their 10X zoom images are only 950 x 715 pixels. Yes, S20+ users, that is roughly the true resolution of a 10X zoom image from your phone. But consider on a 12MP sensor with 1X optical lens, that true cropped resolution is closer to 400x300!
    The bottom line is the S20+ Tele Camera is basically equivalent in resolution to a phone with a 12MP camera with a 2.5X optical zoom because it's not actually an optical zoom lens. So Samsung's advertising it as a 3X "hybrid optic zoom" isn't a total lie, but 2.5x would be closer to accurate as far as the equivalent of an optical zoom on a 12MP sensor. To get the best images on this camera you just want to use one of the 3 cameras without manually zooming in. If you do zoom in on the tele camera, try to not go above 5X.

Price wise, at £999 ($1,200) ... a ridiculous money for the phone, you might say? But I blame Apple for charging silly money for their gadgets, just because they could. And when Apple zombies snapped up any rubbish, that company produced and at any price? Others, Samsung included, emulated Apple, in more ways than one. Still I have several laptops, netbooks and tablets ... and this phone, more than previous Samsung phones, makes all that stuff redundant. Good phone, lot better than S9+ that it replaces.

If the 20+ camera gets shaky up close, then the Ultra would probably be worse. So I'd rather spend less for something that's basically the same phone. Just with a smaller battery. I have the Note 9 at the time of this message, and battery is really important to me. So the 20+ would probably be perfect for me. So I'm excited for switching
