Accurate target exposure down to low light, Very low noise in most conditions, Vivid and pleasant color outdoors, Good stabilization in handheld static videos outdoors
Limited dynamic range in high-contrast conditions, Visible hue shift in red tones with low tungsten lighting, Visible motion effects in indoor videos, Low detail in low light
Consistently good exposure, color, and detail make the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra a good all-rounder for smartphone photography. Its ultra-wide camera and bokeh effects in Portrait mode are particularly impressive; and with good video performance in 4K mode...

Good timbre performance, Average spatial performance, Few artifacts overall
Memo app records in mono only, Poor spatial and timbral performance when recording selfie videos, Microphones are easy to occlude
If the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra doesn't outshine its strongest competitors in the audio area, it still delivers a very consistent, above-average performance. Volume is good, artifacts are well controlled, dynamics are generally respected, and timbre perfo...
The new 120Hz OLED is gorgeous, and Samsung finally got rid of the curve, Nice, slim bezels all the way around the screen. The buttons have thankfully returned to the right side of the phone, While 5G is of limited usefulness for most people, this phone w
This phone is gigantic, heavy, and made of slippery glass. The camera module also sticks out a mile, A device with a 5,000mAh battery should be able to run longer than the S20 Ultra, but 5G and the 120Hz screen keep it from being great, You can't use Goog
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra6/10Probably not. Samsung keeps pushing the price of its phones into the stratosphere, and the S20 Ultra reaches new heights at $1,400. That pile of cash does get you some awesome features like the best, smoothest OLED available ri...
