Fans of the Samsung brand are anticipating the release of the new S20 phone that is scheduled to hit the market this spring. With its reputation for reliability and state-of-the-art features, Samsung has been exceptional in anticipating the types of features its customers need before they know they need them, which is why the new model is getting so much buzz. Here are a few of the most intriguing rumors being circulated about the new Samsung Galaxy S20.

The Samsung S20 will be released on March 6th. As anticipated, the new model will be 5G ready, which makes it the phone for the future. As 5G becomes widely available for a broader population, Samsung has ensured that its new model is ready to take on the new capabilities, as fans of their brand expect. The new Samsung S20 phone will be available at different price points. You will be able to choose an S20 and three different price levels. The “standard” will come at $850.  The “plus” model will cost $950. The “ultra” model will come in at $1200. The “ultra” will be the slightly larger version of the device. This should keep the brand well within affordability for a broad range of consumers.

Although Samsung has retained the basic look as its S10 models, the S20 will offer different colors: cosmic gray, cosmic black, cloud pink and cloud blue. However, color availability will vary by region. Special backing materials will also be available in some markets. The physical design of the new phone is approximately the same as the S10 model, but has less curvature along the corners. The size options in the S20 will be 6.4 inches, 6.7 inches, and 6.9 inches. This is a bit of an increase in size over the S10 models. The rear-facing camera lies in vertical line, instead of the previous horizontal configuration. The front-facing camera is activated by a center button at the top of the screen, rather than to the side on the previous model.

Features will show a number of improvements for users. The S20 offers 12 mega-pixel cameras in the standard and plus models. The higher end model will have 108MP and time-of-flight sensors (ToF), which improves the look of foreground and background details in portrait video and for AR applications. On-board storage will offer 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB options. The microSD card slot provides external storage up to 1TB. The phone will have 12GB and 16 GB RAM configurations. The new Samsung S20 is expected to provide some type of facial scanning, in addition to fingerprint reading, to provide security for the new device. Battery life is an important consideration for today’s users, and Samsung has provided a 4,000 mAh capability on the standard model, 4,500 mAh on the plus model and 5,000 mAh on the ultra model. Expect a 25W charger on the standard and plus models and a 45W charger on the ultra.

Keeping ahead of innovations, while maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. has been an area where Samsung has historically shined. With their new S20 phone, they are hoping to maintain their solid hold on marketshare, while offering features to attract new users.
