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.

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 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.

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

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 Galaxy S20 Ultra is Samsung’s superphone to conquer all superphones. Everything pushed to excess. That excess is great when it means a massive battery, future-proofed 5G and a camera that’s leagues ahead of where Samsung was a year ago.

Update: Five months after its initial release, Samsung has fixed bugs that dogged the camera system — and realized the promise of the ultimate smartphone. Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra is a lavishly-equipped device with an extravagant price tag. $1,400 gets you an opulent 7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the best internals you could ask for in an Android phone, 5G compatibility with all the major networks and, perhaps most important, a monstrous camera setup. With 108MP on the main lens, 48MP on the telephoto camera, and up to 100× zoom, it’s clear which feature Samsung expects to deliver the knockout punch. But despite its robust stats, this heavyweight was initially held back from becoming the undisputed champ among the best camera phones this year due to bugs that plagued the cutting-edge camera system. Through a series of patches released in April and July, Samsung eventually addressed most of the camera issues. So do the brains finely match the brawn? Or should you look to t...

Expensive; Zoom system seems gimmicky;

Le Galaxy S20 Ultra possède tout ce dont on aurait besoin à partir d’un téléphone. Il arbore une belle apparence, un affichage magnifique, des caméras puissantes et plus encore. Cependant, tout cela a un prix élevé.
