Outdated Product
The top smartphone in the Galaxy S20 series, with a focus on photography and video shooting. Unlike younger models, the phone received a 108 MP camera (against 12 MP). However, the module consists of several 12 MP matrices. In normal shooting, a 12 MP module is used, in zoom mode or other creative modes, the matrices are combined into one, with a total of 108 MP. This allows you to take high-resolution pictures, and thanks to this feature (according to the manufacturer), the smartphone received a significantly enhanced optical zoom, up to 10x (against 3x, for younger models). Together with digital zoom, this gives a 100x zoom, which is a record among smartphones (at the beginning of 2020). It is worth noting that the camera zoom is up to 7.9x (the difference between a telephoto lens and an...ultra-wide one). Also, the front camera has undergone changes, instead of 10 MP, a 40 MP module has been added. This model has the largest display in the S20 series — 6.9", versus 6.7 and 6.2 for the S20 Plus and S20. The technical part also stands out, for example, the amount of RAM has grown from 12 GB to 16 GB (the model has 512 GB of memory). There is a fast charge of 45 W, instead of 25 W for younger models. The closest competitor at the beginning of 2020 is the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. But, Samsung is more technically savvy, although it loses in macro photo mode, because it simply does not have a separate module for this kind of filming.

Video reviews
There is a modification with support for 5G communication. However, 5G does not work in the CIS countries, which at the beginning of 2020 makes this feature useless for residents of the CIS.
