As the middle option in Samsung's top-tier 2020 phone lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ shares many features with its smaller sibling, the Galaxy S20.
In fact, outside of size, you'd have a tough time telling the difference between models at a glance.
However, digging into the specifications, you'll notice a few minor upgrades in the S20+, including:
- A larger 6.7-inch display
- A time-of-flight sensor in the rear camera for better depth mapping and photo detail
- A larger 4,500mAh battery which reviewers found lasted a day with ease
- Expanded multi-band 5G support
Otherwise, you'll find the same chart-topping processor, punchy display, and sleek design on offer from the other two models. For more information on what to expect, be sure to check out Samsung Galaxy S20 review.
