It's a big day for Samsung today: the company officially unveiled three new flagship Galaxy S20 models and while the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the biggest and baddest of them all, it's also the most expensive one and the phones that most people will be buying are the more compact yet still just as powerful Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus.

We have had the chance to use both the S20 and the S20 Plus for a short while and while they are nothing as crazy as a foldable phone, we are impressed with the improvements that Samsung brings: 120-Hertz displays that look incredibly good in person, zoom cameras that allow you to capture photos at places like a football game where a phone has traditionally been useless as a camera, and then much bigger batteries, support for 5G and a beautifully refined design.

But then there are the little details and differences between them, so let's take a look at the phones, but first, here is a quick overview of the...

Galaxy S20 and S20+ Specs:


Design and Size

The Galaxy S20 and the S20 Plus look very similar, but there are two ways you can easily tell them apart: first, of course, is the physical size as the S20 is clearly the smaller phone, while the Plus one is bigger; second is while looking at the back, as the S20 Plus has a fourth camera and a slightly wider camera section. You might remember the super compact Galaxy S10e from last year, but that super compact size is no longer available as even the smaller Galaxy S20 is about the size of last year's S10, while the S20 Plus mirrors the size of last year's S10 Plus.

The phones are premium-made with a familiar glass and metal design that looks great when clean, but the glass gets stained with fingerprint smudges very easily.

What we love about these phones are the new colors: you have classic "Cosmic Gray" and "Cosmic Black" versions, but you also have a very jubilant pink model as well as a blue one. These are not just flat pink or blue colors, but they shift slightly to form an interesting gradient when light hits them.

And did we mention there is no headphone jack on the S20 and S20 Plus? You get a pair of USB-C headphones (the AKG-tuned kind) for free in the box, though.
