The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra goes big in every way imaginable, with 108MP photos, a 100x camera zoom, 40MP selfies, and a 6.9-inch 120Hz display. With over-the-top internal specs on a par with some laptops, you'll pay more for this phone than any non-foldable phone before it, but that's not...

Impressive camera zoom range; Samsung’s best display yet; Fast 5G speeds confirmed

Camera quality is inconsistent; Price is a new kind of ridiculous; You’re going to need a bigger hand

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is ultra-everything. It offers every possible feature anyone could want in a phone and more. While the device boasts an impressive display, rapid performance, and powerful cameras, the price tag is so high that the phone is unaffordable to many.

Gorgeous screen Blazing-fast performance Flexible cameras Good battery life Solid gaming experience Expandable storage

Boring design Cumbersome to use 8K video is overkill for now No headphone jack Crazy expensive

Consistently good exposure, color, and detail make the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra a good all-rounder for smartphone photography. Its ultra-wide camera and bokeh effects in Portrait mode are particularly impressive; and with good video performance in 4K mode, together with a host of other resolution...

The dilemma we have here is 'cost vs smartphone' as yes, it's a great device but at over £1000, it's hard to say it's 'excellent value for money'. But then again, if you compare it to some of the other smartphones available, it's not far off what they're priced at so does that make the price okay?

Great screen; Good image quality; Zoom up to 10x is excellent; Fast charging

No headphone socket; Forget the zoom after 10x; Expensive; Size

The thing is, no other Android phone can stand up to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, look it in the eye, and genuinely claim that it can match it spec for spec. It is an almost brutal way to reset the benchmark. It will not be easy for the rivals to respond.

So if you simply want the best 5G flagship around then – at the time of writing – the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is it, but most people would probably be better off spending a bit less and opting for the S20 5G or S20 Plus 5G.

Superb cameras; Massive screen; Super powerful

Super expensive; Familiar design; Can't use both 120Hz and QHD+

The Galaxy S20 Ultra costs Rs 97,900 , which clears the air on who the target audience of the smartphone is. The phone is made for loyal Samsung fans, something that is clear from how the company is marketing the device. I know, many of you think the phone is overkill.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra the best that Samsung currently has to offer? In terms of all the features and hardware that they packed in this massive smartphone, that’s a resounding yes.

bright and color-accurate OLED display; fast storage; microSD support; Dual SIM (including eSIM); wide range of LTE frequencies; 5G; good voice quality

5G without mmWave; autofocus fails to operate properly in low-light conditions; 120 Hz only in FHD+; no 120 Hz gaming; slow microSD slot; no aptX HD

Our first impression of the Galaxy S20 Ultra was that it was a wolf in sheep's clothing, with no big surprises. Overall, it's a solid package, but there is so much overkill here. Samsung has shoved all of its chips into the middle of the poker table and it's hasn't quite paid off.

Beautiful display; Excellent everyday camera; Strong 5x and 10x zoom; Snappy performance

Huge and cumbersome; Gimmicky Space Zoom; Weak Exynos chip (EU version); No 120Hz at WQHD+
