Smartphone companies are getting worse and worse every year when it comes to keeping their flagships a secret. Numerous leaks and rumors before the actual launch all but confirm everything about the device, so very little surprises left. However, there is always the hands on experience with the device the first time, which gets all tech geeks excited and similar was the case with the S20.
The new S20 had been leaked countless times, prior to the event. The main attraction upon launch was, as expected, the camera and the display. The 120Hz display is just so smooth! And having the display resolution of Quad HD and you have yourself the perfect viewing experience with the best-in-class AMOLED displays from Samsung. The variants are similar with a buffed model as well. The Galaxy SO Ultra. The lineup has received a slight increase in screen size and the cutout drastically reduced all you get on the front of the device is just pure, beautiful screen. Here are the specifications of the respective models to put into perspective:

The camera on the ULTRA is the star of the show here with a massive 108 MP sensor and 100X HYBRID zoom. These numbers are just simply absurd but that doesn’t guarantee the best of photos. That will only be tested when the phone is in the markets. The design might be the most disappointing part of the device. It is outdated and Samsung really needs to step it up a gear!
