Samsung Galaxy S20 5G 128GB - Cloud Pink - Dual Sim (e-sim) Unlocked (Renewed)

Product Information

However, you can rest assured that the screen has a pin-sharp contrast ratio of Infinity:1 and it’s also capable of reaching a blinding maximum brightness of 748cd/m2. This is the reason you benefit from a minimum 1-year warranty with the purchase of a refurbished device at Back Market. Just like last year’s models, I actually prefer the smaller versions of Samsung’s handsets, as I feel they fit more comfortably in the hand.

However, pictures looked a touch candy-coloured for my liking, and the iPhone 11 did a better job at capturing more neutral-looking images. Of course, the Samsung is currently unmatched when it comes to sheer detail capture at 8K, but when the resulting footage is a shaky mess, it’s simply not pleasant to watch – a tripod or gimbal is absolutely essential in this instance. While I was self-isolating due to the ongoing coronavirus threat, I snapped a few gloomy scenes of London from my balcony and I found that the Galaxy S20 did a better job at suppressing visual noise, with slightly more contrast than its Apple rival. These new phones feel like much more of an upgrade than ever before and since the Galaxy S20 is the cheapest of the bunch, it earns my recommendation more so than the rest.

Of course, Apple’s iPhone 11 is still the better purchase and it’s also slightly cheaper if you don’t need oodles of storage space, but the Galaxy S20 remains a superb choice if you’d rather stick with the familiarity of Android. There’s no choice when it comes to storage, but the 128GB of onboard space can at least be upgraded up to a further 1TB via microSD if required.

This is a silly marketing phrase, of course, but the S20 is capable of using a combination of optical and AI-digital techniques to magnify up to 30x. It’s a deep, dark black that – thanks to the glass back – still manages to have a bit of shine to it.

Sadly the phone I was sent (Galaxy S20 5G) looked perfect but restarted about 30 times and overheated constantly for the first 2 days.Where you will find a drastic difference, however, is if you decide to switch on the 120Hz setting, which negatively affected the S20’s battery life by roughly five hours in my testing. Battery is not as good as new and will run out relativley quickly but still lasts a full day of low usage l. According to my tests using a display colourimeter, the Galaxy S20’s Dynamic AMOLED screen covered 94% of the sRGB colour gamut, with an overall volume of 96% and an average Delta E of 2. It would be good if Back Market gave some guidance on chargers as they don't supply them with the reconditioned phones.

Finally, there’s Cloud Pink, and this shade is currently only available for the standard Samsung Galaxy S20. The Galaxy S20 also comes in either 8GB or 12GB of RAM variants, with the option to pay a little more for 5G connectivity.I actually much prefer last year’s neatly-situated placement in the top-right corner, although the notch is noticeably smaller this year.
