Samsung Galaxy M20s

Being a mid-life update to the Galaxy M20, the M20s is more similar to the M20 than it is different. The handset sports the same 6.3-inch TFT display that also performed duties on its predecessor. This happens to be a Full HD+ panel (1080 x 2340 pixels) in the 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Like the M20, the Galaxy M20s also gets a notch at the top of the display which Samsung refers to as the Infinity V notch . Powering the Samsung Galaxy M20s is the same Exynos 7904 chipset that we saw on the Galaxy M20. This SoC is a quad-core chip with two Cortex-A73 cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz and six power-efficient Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.6GHz. The handset comes in a single 3GB+32GB storage variant. The dual SIM handset supports nano-SIM cards and also gets a dedicated slot for the microSD card for memory expansion. As the case was with the M20, the Samsung Galaxy M20s also gets a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone also supports face unlock using the front-facing camera. Thanks to support for Widevine L1 DRM component, the Galaxy M20 will have no issues playing back HD content on platforms like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hotstar.

The battery and the imaging departments is where the Samsung Galaxy M20s gets the most upgrades. While its predecessor - the Galaxy M20 - was already a battery powerhouse thanks to its massive 5000 mAh capacity, the Galaxy M20s takes it a notch higher thanks to its 6,000 mAh battery. The phone also supports fast charging and ships with a fast charger inside the box. As for the camera, Samsung has managed to tweak the old 13-megapixel sensor on the M20 to output a larger 16-megapixel image with the Galaxy M20s. The front-facing camera houses beneath the notch, however, remains the same 8-megapixel unit that was aw on the outgoing model.

Unlike the Galaxy A20 that ran Android 8 Oreo underneath Samsung Experience UI 9.5 at launch, the A20s runs Android 9 Pie out of the box. The handset also sees an upgrade to Samsung s refined One UI.
