On February 11, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy S20 and the original flexible Z Flip smartphone, which we will briefly review in today's blog.

Samsung's annual event, eagerly awaited by consumers and critics alike, is always a showcase for innovative new products. This year was no exception, as the company showed the world the updated Galaxy S20, which we'll talk more about below.

Galaxy Z Flip

In 2019, Samsung released one of its foldable smartphone models, the Galaxy Fold, with great fanfare, and like last year, this year too, the company revealed the main news a few minutes before the presentation and briefly talked about what the Galaxy Z Flip will be like. The smartphone does not look like its predecessor at all, as the screen folds vertically.

Features:

Home screen: AMOLED, 6.7 inches, 21.9: 9, 1080 × 2636 pixels.
External screen: 1.1 inches, 112 × 300 pixels.

Processor: Snapdragon 855 Plus
Main camera: 12 MP (f/1.8) + 12 MP (f/2.2)
Front camera: 10 MP (f/2.4)
Battery: 3300 mAh

When the smartphone is folded, it becomes quite compact and looks more like a woman's mirror. It has a small additional screen on the outside that you can use to take selfies. And use it to view notifications. In terms of reliability, the Z Flip has a great resource for opening and closing.

Interestingly, the smartphone has only two cameras - the main one and an ultra-wide one. It seems that the manufacturer did not add additional cameras so as not to spoil the design and not to make the device even thicker.

As for shooting, the night shooting mode has been improved, with which the new smartphone takes a series of 14 frames in 4 minutes and combines them into one clear photo. It is also worth noting that you do not need to hold the phone in your hand while shooting. You can, Just place it on a flat surface and get ready for the shooting process.

An unusual feature of the model is the new Flex Mode, which allows you to use your smartphone as a laptop: when folded, the functions remain on the bottom, and the working screen appears on the top. In this <half-folded> state, you can also take photos and videos.

Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra

Last year, Samsung also released three of its largest models, with which the company actually changed the numbering of the line: conventionally, if previously the models were released in order, this order has now changed, and now immediately after the S10, not only the S11, but also the S20, appeared.

In fact, all three models differ from each other only in diagonal and battery capacity, while the S20 Ultra differs in camera and memory size.

Despite the different battery capacities (4000, 4500 and 5000 mAh), all models charge very quickly and wirelessly.

Although many things have changed in smartphones, which is noticeable externally - the design and additional cameras. However, the most elegant design and the best shooting quality is still the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which has the function of a smartphone. It has a new sensor with a resolution of 108 megapixels, a telephoto lens with a 48 megapixels with an optical zoom of X10, a 12 megapixels with an ultra-wide-angle sensor and a TOF sensor. By combining hybrid and digital zoom, the smartphone can shoot with an X100 zoom, which is a record in the world of mobile phones , since until now only the Huawei P 30 Pro had an X50 zoom.

Another interesting feature of the new models is the <Multi-shot> mode, thanks to which the smartphone takes pictures with three cameras at the same time . As a result, the user can choose the photo that he likes the most. Such a novelty is really convenient, because there is no longer any need to stand in one place and choose angles for photos. It is enough to press the smartphone once and immediately get several photos at once.
