Samsung Galaxy M20 review

Samsung really seems to have made an effort to compete in the budget smartphone segment, but having used the Galaxy M20, I believe Samsung still has a long way to go before it can truly compete with the likes of Xiaomi, Honor or Asus. Look, the Galaxy M20 has decent cameras, the design is functional and practical, the battery and charging is super impressive, but the inconsistent performance just does not match up against the competition.

The Samsung Galaxy M20 is a definite improvement over the previous Galaxy On series and Galaxy J series smartphones. The Galaxy M20 has impressive battery backup and the great display with performance which is quite up to the mark. But one of Samsung’s old faults of not incorporating better camera modules persists, considering the competing brands excel in the camera department especially.

Less

It comes with a brilliant display, a long-lasting battery life, and a sturdy build. Starting at Rs 10,990, it is Samsung's most aggressively priced device till date. It sure has its flaws like the design could have been more attractive, or the cameras could have been better, but it still makes for a good value for money if you look beyond these minor bumps.

Less

It has a good display with minimal bezels, huge battery, USB Type-C with fast charging, ultra-wide angle lens that you don’t find on any other phones in the range, and decent performance for the price. Average low-light camera performance and the plastic body are the things you have to compromise.

Less

The Galaxy M20 is a budget smartphone that has capabilities to make a dent in the armour of other smartphones in the same segment. From sleek performance to exceptional on-battery time and capable dual rear camera, the phone has everything to be touted as power-packed performer.

Less

Samsung Galaxy M20 offers good performance, big battery for its price, which is what you want on a device priced under Rs 13,000. The camera and display could have been better. There’s no doubt that the phone has plenty to offer in terms of performance, battery, but those who want more on camera should consider slightly more expensive options.

Less

The Samsung Galaxy M20, in its bid to compete strongly against the Chinese incumbents, implements a lot of firsts for a Samsung device — A new design, wide-angle cameras and a massive battery. But all that doesn't discount the fact that the Galaxy M20 is not for everyone.

Less

It seems that the Galaxy M20 doesn't quite catch up to all of its rivals' advantages, but at least it is very competitive for the first time. We hope this is the beginning of a new era for Samsung.

Less

I think Samsung has finally managed to build a phone that ticks almost all the checkmarks that a young smartphone buyer is looking for. Be it the absolutely fantastic battery life, the vibrant display or the satisfactory performance, the Galaxy M20 can easily hold its own against competing handsets from Xiaomi, Honor and others.

Less

The refreshingly simple design, the good display and a fairly clean wrapper around Android are some of the highlights, and the consistent overall performance is the virtual icing on the virtual cake. We would reiterate again that you should consider the 4GB RAM for better performance overall—and could well be the phone that brings Samsung back into the affordable Android smartphone game.
