I just figured out that it is impossible to uninstall the Facebook App on this Samsung phone. It can be disabled, but that begs the question of just why it cannot be uninstalled. I will not buy another Samsung phone that has Facebook preinstalled and I would not recommend it for that reason.

“The Galaxy S20 may be the smallest S20, but it's not quite small enough to be a compact flagship phone.”

At a time when US flagship phones are getting bigger and bigger, it's hard to find one narrow enough to comfortably fit in one hand. The Samsung Galaxy S20 ($999) can be comfortably cradled in a single paw, yet it has a big battery, a zoom camera, 8K video recording, and a 120Hz screen. That's a good balance between power and portability. It's a terrific option if your primary concern is size, but the Galaxy S20+ is our Editors' Choice for its longer battery life and high-band 5G. Design: The Right Size People who want to use their phones in one hand have been fighting a rearguard action for years. I like to go with an old LG study that says most people find phones wider than 2.8 inches are hard to use in one hand. The Galaxy S10e, at 2.75 inches, is still good. The Samsung Galaxy S20+, at 2.9 inches, is just a little too wide. The S20 is 2.72 inches, which means that it will still work well in one hand even though it's 0.4-ounce heavier than the S10e and nearly six inches tall. ...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is the most manageable of the S20 lineup in terms of size and price, but it may get left behind with future 5G upgrades.

Well-sized for one-handed use; Gorgeous 120Hz screen; 8K video recording; Most affordable Galaxy S20 model

Lacks high-band 5G; Shorter battery life than other S20 (and S10) models

Samsung Galaxy S20: Haven’t you heard? 20 is the new 11 – the basic Galaxy S20 is Samsung’s best-value flagship yet

Cheaper, but just as formidable, Camera is impressive, 120Hz is buttery smooth

Unnecessary design changes, Camera lacks 100x ‘Space Zoom’, 120Hz setting considerably reduces battery life

A few years ago I switched up and was displeased with the memory and compatibility. Now that I am back with the S series, I have not missed a beat. It is compatible with my work email and other items I used on a day to day basis. I am glad I made the purchase, it is worth it.

The Galaxy S20 offers almost anything you could want from a phone then goes a little further, but it’ll cost you.

Delivering an industry-leading flagship user experience while juggling tech innovations, marketing strategy and pricing at the same time is a daunting task. It is no longer enough to put out a solid phone - you have to present it to the world just right and you have to price it accordingly.

Excellent build quality and bill of materials. IP68 rating., You get all the flagship features the S20+ has, Familiar, yet modernized design and control layout., Superb 120Hz AMOLED display., Speedy charging solutions, incl. a 25W charger in the box, Very good stereo speaker setup.

It has almost become sort of a tradition for Galaxy S smartphones to be excellent high-end devices that are unable to keep up with their competitors in all aspects of smartphone life.

slim and lightweight case, bleeding edge up-to-date software, wide LTE band support, support for 8K video, great and very bright 120 Hz display, 60 Hz gaming, decent battery life, 5G optional

no aptX HD, location services not particularly accurate at times, many video features only up to FHD/30fps, Exynos SoC throttles noticeably, high temperatures under load, no real telephoto lens

For most people, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is still one of the best Android phone available right now. Especially with the cheaper prices around. However, I would seriously consider the Galaxy S20 FE which has a Snapdragon 865 and better battery life, along with superior performance. There's also the OnePlus 8T which has a similarly ace display and the Pixel 5 if you're looking for something even smaller.

Lovely screen; A perfect size; Huge camera improvements over the S10;

The fingerprint scanner is poor; 120Hz refresh rate drains battery; It looks just like every other Samsung phone;

In previous years, a recommendation for the regular sized Galaxy S normally came with a caveat about battery life. With the S20, that's not necessary: this is a great flagship phone, full stop.

Fantastic display that dominates the front, Great battery for a smaller phone, Faster charging, Lovely design, Camera system is versatile

OneUI software has its frustrations, Agressive blur and shallow depth of field from camera, Fingerprint sensor not always reliable
