- The Samsung Galaxy S20 series is Samsung’s
first, full 5G flagship lineup
- The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is the first device in Singapore able to offer 5G capabilities
Samsung Electronics has unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S20, its latest series of flagship devices that introduces a new camera architecture.
“As we enter this new decade, 5G will completely change how we communicate and how we experience the world around us,” said Dr TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics.
“As all three Galaxy S20 variants come with 5G connectivity, Samsung is providing a next-generation device for transforming people’s lives. With an incredible, AI-powered camera, you can capture the moments as they happen and connect more seamlessly with the people you love.”
Every device in the Galaxy S20 lineup—the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra—comes equipped with the latest 5G technology. All three devices are capable of delivering non-standalone and standalone 5G capabilities. The Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra are the first devices able to take advantage of both sub-6 and mmWave*. The Galaxy S20 supports sub-6*.
According to Samsung, the camera is the single-most important feature for consumers purchasing a new smartphone. The Galaxy S20's new camera system is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and features its biggest image sensor yet.
Clarity
With a larger image sensor available on the Galaxy S20 series, camera resolution is significantly increased, resulting in more detailed images. The S20 and S20+ have a 64 MP camera. The S20 Ultra has 108 MP camera.
Another benefit is that the larger sensors take in more light for richer image quality even in low-light situations. The S20 Ultra takes things a step further with the option to shift dynamically between a high-resolution 108 MP mode and a 12 MP mode, thanks to nona-binning technology which combines nine pixels into one at the sensor level.
Zoom
The Galaxy S20’s Space Zoom technology uses a combination of Hybrid Optic Zoom and Super Resolution Zoom, which includes AI-powered digital zoom. Use up to 30X zoom on the Galaxy S20 and S20+, or step up to the revolutionary folded lenses on the S20 Ultra, which uses AI-powered, multiimage processing to reduce quality loss at high zoom levels. This means Super Resolution Zoom can be experienced at up to 100X with a clearer view ever than before.
Single take, multiple possibilities
Thanks to its AI camera technologies, the Galaxy S20 can capture a number of photos and videos, such as live focus, cropped, ultra wide and more that captures every moment at its best.
Pro-grade filming
The Galaxy S20 offers 8K video shooting, which can be streamed to a Samsung QLED 8K for a best-in-class viewing experience1. Stills from an 8K video can be turned into high-res photos. Bumpy experiences look like they were shot using an action cam, thanks to Super Steady and its anti-rolling stabilisation and AI motion analysis.
The Galaxy S20 is built for how we use our phones today, Samsung says.
Music
Users can enjoy personalised soundtracks based around their routines, thanks to a new integration between Spotify and Samsung's Bixby Routines. With Music Share, a paired Bluetooth connection can be extended to a car stereo or speaker via the device2.
Video chat
With 5G, the Galaxy S20 enhances the video chatting experience through a deep integration with Google Duo. New Duo features can be experienced first on the Galaxy S20. From the dialer, users can tap Duo to start a video call and enjoy, for the first time ever, FHD quality. Google Duo is compatible across operating systems, so users can video chat with anyone. Fit everyone in the frame using the wide lens and talk to up to eight friends at the same time.
YouTube
Samsung partnered with YouTube so 8K videos can be uploaded directly to YouTube—and with integrated 5G capabilities, on ultra-fast upload speeds3.
Netflix
Taking advantage of the Galaxy S20’s pro-grade camera, Netflix and Samsung are working together to put the Galaxy S20 in the hands of renowned directors to capture bonus content based on popular Netflix Originals. Users can also discover Netflix’s content through an improved integration with Galaxy devices, enabling ease of content discovery and accessibility via Samsung Daily, Bixby, and Finder4.
Gaming
With a 120 Hz display, gaming is smoother than ever. Later in around Q220 Samsung partner Microsoft, will launch its popular Forza Street in the Galaxy Store, marking the first time the game is coming to mobile. Combined with a fast processor, 12 GB of RAM5, audio tuned by AKG and a game booster working in the background to optimise settings for peak performance, the Galaxy S20 is set to offer a powerful gaming experience.

The most secure device Samsung has ever made, the Galaxy S20 is protected by Knox—the mobile security platform that protects the device from the chip level through to the software level. The Galaxy S20 also features a new, secure processor which protects against hardware-based attacks.
Powered by a big, intelligent battery, the Galaxy S20 series comes with a 25 W fast charger, while the S20 Ultra supports 45 W Super Fast charging as well6. The entire series is equipped with massive storage as standard (128 GB for S20; 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB for Galaxy S20+ and S20 Ultra)7.
Samsung’s cleanest, simplest, most intuitive interface yet is One UI 2 on the Galaxy S20. You can also use the Galaxy S20 to control smart homes with SmartThings, achieve your health and wellness goals with Samsung Health, and pay on-the-go with Samsung Pay8.
Samsung Galaxy Buds+ complement the Galaxy S20 family. With sound by AKG, Buds+ feature two-way speakers; three mics for enhanced sound and voice quality; and up to 11 hours of battery life.
