The world's biggest smartphone maker unveiled its latest flagship device, the Galaxy S20, at its"Unpacked" event in San Francisco on Tuesday, boasting a new camera architecture it says is capable of taking"pro-grade" photos and videos. It's also the first time Samsung is releasing a fully 5G lineup, with all versions touting support for the emerging mobile technology.
The Galaxy S20 has three variants: the 6.2-inch S20 starting at $999.99; the 6.7-inch S20+ starting at $1199.99; and the 6.9-inch S20 Ultra, which Samsung says is aimed at users looking for a"maxed-out" performance and experience. That high-end model will start at $1399.99. Samsung is also amping up its AMOLED display to enable faster scrolling, clearer video and more responsive interaction with the screen than previous devices.The S20 has a total of four camera lenses — three in the back and one in the front — while the S20+ and S20 Ultra have an additional 3D depth lens at the back for AR applications. The cameras are powered by a much larger sensor than previous models, allowing for sharper, brighter pictures.
Other new camera features include one called Single Take, which captures a 10-second video of a particular moment and picks out the best frames, and the ability to shoot 8K ultra-high definition videos. The Galaxy S20 will also debut Quick Share, Samsung's new feature similar to Apple's Airdrop that allows users to send large files to each other.Samsung's biggest edge in the smartphone market comes from its 5G capabilities.
Samsung is laying the foundation for 5G applications by deepening its partnerships with big tech peers such as Google and Microsoft. Google Duo, the company's video calling app, will be directly integrated into the dialer on Galaxy S20 phones, so that users can start a video chat just as they would a regular phone call. S20 users can also upload their 8K videos directly to Google-owned YouTube, and Samsung says 5G will allow"ultra-fast" upload speeds.
Galaxy users also got another sound-focused hardware upgrade. Samsung released a new version of its Galaxy Buds wireless earphones on Tuesday. The Galaxy Buds+ offer a total of 22 hours of battery life, including 11 hours from a chargeable storage case, and will be available in red, blue, white and black. They will be available for sale online from February 14 for $149, and will hit stores along with the S20 lineup on March 6.
