Should you upgrade to the Galaxy S20 or not?
Any newly announced product line always faces questions like: 'Is it worth upgrading?', 'Is the price reasonable at this level?',... and the new generation of Galaxy S is no exception. This time, the chosen one to answer these questions is the Galaxy S20.
In this article, Mytour Superstore will present 3 significant improvements that you should consider upgrading for.
1. Trendy Design
Samsung has updated the Galaxy S20 with a fresh design trend that users have been favoring lately. It features a borderless punch-hole display and a 'gigantic' rear camera system, making you look cool and stand out whenever you hold the device.
Speaking of the display, besides having an advanced Super AMOLED panel for ultra-sharp Quad HD+ resolution, the S20 version has doubled the refresh rate to 120Hz. Every motion is now smoother, more seamless, and notably clearer (compared to the S10's 60Hz refresh rate), even if you're not a professional, you can easily perceive the difference.

Another subtle detail in the design that not many may notice is the neatly refined notch. The 'beauty spot' size has been reduced, enhancing the user's phone experience.

The rear camera system is designed quite similarly to the previously launched Galaxy A models, featuring a 'gigantic' size. This design language is gaining popularity among users, especially the youth, and is poised to be the design trend for this year.

2. Outstanding Configuration
Although it's just the standard version among the 3 recently launched models, in terms of configuration, the Galaxy S20 can be considered one of the most powerful flagships in the current market. Equipped with the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor coupled with a massive 12GB RAM, it significantly enhances the device's performance.
Powerful Hardware Configuration
Users used to complain about poor RAM management in Samsung phones, leading to frequent lag after extended use. However, with an optional RAM capacity of up to 12GB, the issue of lag is almost non-existent now.
The 10th generation Android platform comes with numerous new features, providing better support for the device's security and fingerprint recognition speed. Additionally, the One UI 2.0 interface introduces some changes in design, making it more sophisticated, youthful, and modern, giving users an enjoyable experience.

The battery capacity is also a significant upgrade. On the S20, the 4000mAh battery (compared to the S10+'s 4100mAh) fully meets the usage demands for a long day of work. If not used intensively or for continuous gaming, a single charge can last a day, or even more.
3. Camera System
The camera system on the Galaxy S20 has undergone a significant upgrade. While the main sensor remains at 12MP, the telephoto lens has been increased fourfold to 64MP. Additionally, this zoom sensor features Hybrid Optic Zoom 3X and Super Resolution Zoom supported by AI technology, allowing users to zoom in on any object in the frame while maintaining necessary sharpness.
Optical zoom capability of 3X and digital zoom up to 30X will capture every moment even from a considerable distance.
The Night Mode on previous Galaxy S generations has received high praise. However, in this new generation, the Korean giant has equipped additional light-enhancing sensors to ensure sharpness and minimize noise in every photo taken in low-light conditions.
Upgraded Night Mode
Although the resolution of the selfie camera remains at 10MP, just like the S10 launched last year, the focusing speed has now significantly improved. You can capture every moment and emotion quickly and easily without worrying about blurriness or distortion.

In addition to its exceptional photo capture capabilities compared to the older generation, the video recording capability is also a major upgrade. Not only surpassing the S10 and Note 10, but most other flagship models on the market still can't keep up with the S20. For current high-end smartphones, video quality typically stops at 4K. However, on the S20, this number has reached 8K, which is four times higher than the UHD standard and sixteen times the FHD standard.
During video recording, we can also capture the ongoing scenes with a resolution of up to 33MP, a figure that rivals any professional-grade camera.
Not to mention, with the innovative Single Take feature, a first on a smartphone, users only need to press the shutter, then hold the phone and move for 3 to 10 seconds. After capturing, open the photo gallery to discover the surprises! All the content you scrolled through will be recorded in various formats and modes such as background blur, zoom, standard video recording, quick rewind video, and more.
4. Conclusion
In reality, the Galaxy S10/S10 Plus duo is not a 'bad' phone today; its performance still satisfactorily meets the daily needs of the majority of users. However, the Galaxy S20 is a comprehensive upgrade for the older generation with a more beautiful display, a stronger battery, a more powerful configuration, and a more sophisticated camera.
The Galaxy S20 is a holistic upgrade for the older generation.
If your usage demands are truly high, and you're engaged in tasks related to visual content, videos, or own the 'far too old' generations of phones, upgrading to the new S20 can be considered highly reasonable.
