Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G: Pros & Cons

- The 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED is the best screen in the industry
- Extremely fast and smooth performance
- Most advanced rear camera setup you can find in a phone
- One of the best front cameras in the market
- Superfast charging
- Bad Stuff
- Battery life could have been better
Verdict
If you want the ultimate Android phone, you got to look nowhere else rather than the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. It combines every high-end feature that you see in the smartphone industry into one device. And all those features have been implemented exceptionally well. It has got a class-leading display, front and rear cameras, connectivity, design and build quality, and a powerful processor and decently long battery backup. We would have loved the device even more if Samsung had offered the Snapdragon 865 version on the phone in India but then we can t complain about the performance of the Exynos 990. The price of the device is also on the higher side but then again if you want an ultimate phone you have to pay accordingly.
