48 hours with the Samsung Galaxy S20+

0

Getting a new phone is always exciting. There’s nothing more satisfying than taking a phone out of the box for the first time and peeling off the protective plastic film from the screen and carefully examining the glass on the front and back of the phone before getting my greasy fingerprints smudges all over it.

I picked up the Samsung Galaxy S20+ from Best Buy over the weekend and have started my typical review routine. The process typically includes camera comparisons with other flagship devices, some benchmarking and speed tests to get a better feel for its performance and a deep dive into the software to see there’s anything truly useful in all the bloat that manufacturers add on top of Android.

While that whole process typically takes 5-7 days, I thought I’d share my experience with the phone after owning it for two days. This isn’t a comprehensive review by any means; simply a few initial thoughts worth considering if you’re planning to buy the phone before our full review comes out.

After 24 hours with the Samsung Galaxy S20+, I have not stumbled upon any issues or red flags. My only real disappointment is with the design. If you can get over that, I see no reason why anyone wouldn’t want to own this phone. Yes, the $1200 price tag is a bit steep, but if you don’t need a phone this big, the smaller Galaxy S20 is just as good for $200 less.

My Samsung Galaxy S20+ review is still in the works. Be sure to check back in early next week for my in-depth analysis.
