Samsung Galaxy S20 vs S20 Plus vs S20 Ultra: what’s the difference?


PHILIPPINES – Samsung just dropped three new Galaxy S20 devices at the Unpacked 2020 event held in San Francisco, California, USA: We have the entry-level Samsung Galaxy S20, its bigger brother Galaxy S20 Plus, and a new Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.

Aside from the obvious differences in physical dimensions and screen, the S20 and S20 Plus are virtually identical in all but the camera and battery: the Plus variant has a depth sensor, as well as 500 mAh more battery life.
