Up your game with the new Samsung Galaxy S20! The Samsung Galaxy S20 comes out on March 6 and is already creating plenty of buzz. From inception of the new phone, critics have thought that the S20 will make a run at the impending iPhone 12, which boasts big upgrades in a variety of aspects. Hype and rumors abound, but as the release date draws closer, several features have been confirmed. Three of the most impressive changes include camera upgrades, battery life, and increased screen size. When this new state of the art phone drops, be ready! Read on to find out some of the highlights of Samsung's new offering in their premier Galaxy line.

For starters, the Samsung Galaxy S20 was rebranded from the S11 (no, Samsung did not release nine phones between the S10 series and its incoming phone). Three versions of the S20 have been leaked: the S20 Ultra 5G, S20 Plus 5G, and S20 5G. Some of the standard features across all three versions are IP68 Water Resistance, 128 GB of internal storage, and the Android 10.0 operating system. And although camera specs vary depending on the version, all three cameras get big upgrades from the S10. The device will come with a 48 megapixel telephoto range which is accompanied by a 48 megapixel wide-range lens. Incredibly, engineers boast that the S20 Ultra's camera can instantaneously snap 108 megapixel images. Eager critics have wondered whether the S20 will put Samsung back on top in terms of smart phone camera technology. "Picasso" has been leaked as the code name for the S20, and it's likely that the improved camera is the reason behind the moniker.

Battery life is another area in which the S20 will be upgraded in a big way. While the device's new Snapdragon 865 processor and its accompanying 5G capability will eat up more battery life, the update looks poised to overcompensate, with between 4,000 and 5,000 (depending on the version) mAh, compared to a spectrum of 3,100 to 4,500 on the S10 range. Additionally, 45W Super Fast charging will be featured in all three phones. In terms of display, a rather chocking change will be Samsung's departure from its vintage curved edges. The S20 will move back to the flat glass design of other popular cell phone models. That said, screen size will increase from the last Galaxy devices. The S20 5G, S20 Plus 5G, and S20 Ultra 5G will come with screen sizes of 6.2 inches, 6.7 inches, and 6.9 inches, respectively. The difference is noteworthy but not drastic, as the S10e, S10, S10 Plus, and S10 5G featured screens of 5.8 inches, 6.1 inches, 6.4 inches, and 6.7 inches, respectively. 

Concrete prices for the S20 aren't yet available, but historical data and reported new features can provide some educated guesses. In all likelihood, the S20 will cost somewhere between $850 and $900. The Plus and Ultra versions will probably range between $1,150 and $1600. Samsung.com is obviously the first and best place to go for the new Samsung Galaxy S20 pre-order deals. The latest deal is free Galaxy Buds+ wireless earphones (worth $150) when customers pre-order the Galaxy S20 through the website. Those who register for pre-order access through Samsung will also get $35 instant credit for devices and accessories for the new S20 line. Samsung emphasizes that stock will be limited, so consumers who want in on the ground floor should act now.
