When did Galaxy S20 Ultra launch?

Samsung is set to showcased the S20 Ultra on 11th February at an Unpacked event.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra camera

With a staggering array of high-grade lenses, the S20 Galaxy Ultra is shaping up to be one of the best cameraphones on the market.

Key specs for the main, rear camera are:

• 108-megapixel main wide camera
• 48-megapixel and 12-megapixel telephoto and time-of-flight cameras
• 10x optical zoom
• Up to 100x digital zoom
• Up to 8k video recording at 108Mbps

The front camera only has a single lens. But it’ll comes in at a massive 40-megapixels and will be capable of recording in 8K.

Galaxy S20 Ultra design

If you’ve been paying much attention, you’ll have noticed that smartphone design hasn’t altered too much in recent years.

And so it is with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which sticks closely to the look and feel of the S10 and previous Galaxy devices.

This time around, though, the edges are slightly more rounded and the curve of the screen is less pronounced. But it’s not completely a case of ‘as you were’.

For one thing, Samsung has completely removed the headphone jack. So if you’re in the market for an S20, you may need to budget for some wireless headphones too.

And for another, the module for the rear camera is now square and much larger than the S10. That's to be expected, given that it now houses five lenses.

Galaxy S20 Ultra colour options

Colour options for the S20 are set to take in basic black, white, and pink. But the standout is set to be the iridescent, Aura Glow colourway that reflects colours for a rainbow-style effect.

Battery, storage and processor

The S20 Ultra is home to Samsung’s own, latest Exynos 990 processor and a vast 5,000mAh battery that’s required to power the phone’s huge display.

You can choose from 128GB, 256GB, 512Gb and 1TB.
