All the news of the new Samsung Galaxy S20
6.9 inches and 120Hz for the screen
Samsung has us used to very good qualities in terms of the panels. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was not going to be less, its screen of a respectable 6.9 inches arrives with the latest of the latest. It is HDR10 + certified, the resolution is Quad HD + and the format is elongated. This is all great, but the biggest novelty is the refresh rate. Yes, Samsung has joined the trend for panels with more than 60Hz.
Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra mounts a panel capable of reaching 120Hz. This refresh rate will delight many users and, even if you are not a gamer, you can take advantage of it since moving between the menus and options of the system will have an extra fluidity. Of course, the 120Hz have a certain trick; we will not be able to enjoy the maximum resolution of the panel at this refresh rate. As soon as we activate 120Hz, the resolution will drop to FHD +.
Latest generation Exynos and lots of RAM for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
Inside the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra we will find a processor from Samsung itself, it is the Exynos 990. Among the many benefits of this processor are the eight cores that it has and being built in 7 nanometers. They are accompanied by 12GB or 16GB of RAM, for storage there are also two options, 128GB or 512GB. If we run out of space, we can add 1TB more via microSD.
The datasheet is impressive, but it doesn't end there. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra arrives with 5G. This connectivity promises extremely fast download and upload rates. Those who still do not want to bet on 5G, can buy the model with LTE. The battery is another section that has also undergone changes, it has grown, now they are 5,000 mAh.
This capacity has its reason for being in the refresh rate of the screen, since it will consume more. But the safest thing is that we will be able to reach the end of the day without going through the charger, although if we pass we can charge the terminal both by cable and wirelessly and both ways with the tag “Fast Charging”.
Four cameras with a 108 megapixel sensor
The photographic section has also undergone improvements. In the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra we will find four cameras, the most striking is the one that mounts a 108 megapixel sensor. The size of this sensor is capable of taking photos with great detail and that allow you to enlarge without losing too much detail. But this sensor is not the only novelty. The telephoto lens is capable of up to 100x magnification, these will be completely digital and the resulting photo will be enhanced using artificial intelligence.
The remaining sensors are an ultra wide angle and a depth sensor called DepthVision. The improvements do not remain in photography, they reach video. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is capable of recording at 8K, by recording at this resolution we can extract frames from the video to use as photographs. Although the functionality that most caught our attention is the so-called Single Take, when activating this type of capture; the device will use all lenses.
The result is several photographs and videos, a multiple capture that ensures that we do not lose anything of the moment. We can keep the photo or video that most convinces us and, in addition, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra camera application will highlight the one it considers best. Samsung has bet very hard with this section, we just have to wait to see its behavior in our analysis.
Availability and prices of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra hits the market with two different prices. It all depends on the version we choose, if we opt for the version with 5G, the prices go up to 1,360 euros for the model with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, if we want the model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, we will have to pay 1560 euros. It will be available this month of February, on the 11th to reserve and it will hit stores on March 9th.
