The Samsung Galaxy S20+ Plus 5g factory unlocked android cell phone is a nearly-perfect smartphone. This smartphone handles anything you throw at it, and should last you years with someone that take care of their phone and with all compatible S20 Plus accessories.

Display

6.7-inch AMOLED display, WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) resolution

120Hz refresh rate, but only at FHD+ resolution or lower

In-screen fingerprint sensor is lackluster

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus’ 6.7-inch AMOLED display is sharp and vibrant, with WQHD+ resolution (3200 x 1440). The display is a shade taller than the S10 Plus’ QHD+ (3040 x 1440) screen, which is likely due to it having less bezel at the top and bottom.

While that’s a faster refresh rate than the 90Hz on the Google Pixel 4, OnePlus 7T Pro or Razer Phone 2, you likely won’t see a difference unless you put those phones side by side with the S20 Plus while it’s bumped up to 120Hz. And yes, the ASUS ROG Phone 2 also offers 120Hz, making Samsung’s flagship line the first non-gaming phones to get the cutting-edge screen tech.

Technically, it should enable smoother action in games that support 120Hz, although we found the effect to be more noticeable in online games like PUBG rather than action/adventure titles like Alto’s Odyssey (see this Android Authority list for other games that harness 120Hz screens). But you’ll most appreciate 120Hz in the silky-smooth animations flowing through the Android interface.

Granted, you can’t go full-throttle on both refresh rate and display resolution: if you want 1440p visuals you’ll need to set the screen to 60Hz, and if you want to bump that up to 120Hz then you’ll need to settle for 1080p (or 2400 x 1080). And you have to toggle both settings individually, which makes it too onerous for tinkering: you’ll likely set it to one combo or the other and leave it.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ Plus 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone Review

Design

Larger than the standard S20, smaller than the S20 Ultra

Rectangular camera block on an otherwise-sleek glass shell

Bixby button is gone, but so is 3.5mm headphone jack

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus doesn’t look much different to its predecessor, but this is the sleekest device in a long line of flagships – and that isn’t a bad look.

As phone makers fumble around trying to find the best enclosure for more and more lenses, the rectangular block on the back of the S20 Plus isn’t the worst. It’s a bit more refined and less obtrusive than the square bump on the Pixel 4’s rear – although you may not think it much of an upgrade over the horizontal strip housing the cameras on the S10 Plus.

The single center-aligned punch-hole for the front-facing camera looks cleaner, and obstructs less of the display, than the lozenge-shaped cutout housing two lenses on the S10 Plus. Less noticeable unless the two phones are side-by-side is that the new Plus model has no top lip or bottom chin – its bezel is evenly sparse.

What’s likewise less obvious is how minimal the design has become: with no rear fingerprint sensor (this was dropped from all of last year’s S10 phones), no Bixby button and, sadly for some, no 3.5mm headphone jack, the S20 Plus is pretty lean.

Heck, it’s even thinner by a hair than the standard S20. The downside? Pump up the volume on the dual top-and-bottom speakers and the whole rear cover will vibrate. They put out respectable audio, though we still haven’t found sound projection and stereo balance that tops what the Google Pixel 4 is capable of.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ Plus 5G Camera

12MP main + 12MP ultra-wide + 64MP telephoto (3x optical)

The latter is vastly improved, zooming up to 30x

Shoots video in 8K 24fps...if you can find a display to show it on

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus packs a trio of rear cameras, plus a time-of-flight depth sensor. While the main and ultra-wide lenses haven’t changed a great deal from the corresponding lenses on the S10 Plus, Samsung has amped up the telephoto lens to deliver fantastic fidelity far beyond what its predecessor was capable of.

Where the S10 Plus packed a 12MP 2x optical telephoto camera, which extended to a respectable 10x digital zoom, the S20 Plus is rocking a 3x optical lens combined with a 64MP sensor, allowing for an astounding 30x digital zoom.

 The camera app helpfully provides 2x, 4x, 10x, and 20x interval options – make it a lot easier to hone in on subjects of interest. It’s not quite the Samsung S20 Ultra’s much vaunted 100x Space Zoom, but the concept is the same – and given how rarely you’d need to get that close to a distant subject, we think 30x will suit you just fine.

Better still, at 20x and upwards there’s a picture-in-picture inset that shows which part of the larger image you’re zoomed in on – it’s a really nice touch that we expect other phone brands to copy when they get to this level of zoom capability.

Samsung Galaxy S20 plus Performance

Snapdragon 865 chipset in the US, Exynos 990 elsewhere

12GB of RAM (unless you opt for the 4G-only, which has 8GB of RAM)

128GB or 512GB storage options

That's 12GB of RAM for the Galaxy S20 Plus 5G, but if you opt for the 4G version you'll get 8GB of RAM. We've yet to test that version of the device, but we believe 8GB of RAM should be enough to get you through everyday tasks.

According to Geekbench 5, the S20 Plus is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, with a multi-core CPU score of 3,034 with the Snapdragon 865 (2774 with Exynos 990) that beats most other phones while, not surprisingly, coming up short of the S20 Ultra, which scored 3,286, and also trailing the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which scored 3,424. However, when it comes to day-to-day performance you're unlikely to notice significant performance differences between similarly-priced flagship rivals.

In real-world use, the S20 Plus can handle pretty much any app, game or media you throw at it, making it a true powerhouse in your pocket. Combined with its 5G capability, this bodes well for the longevity of the handset, at least when it comes to performance.

So whether you're editing photos in Photoshop or Lightroom, or parachuting into your one-millionth round of PUBG, the Galaxy S20 Plus has the grunt to keep up. We tested it with media and games, and the phone handled everything without a problem – even when pumped up to 1440p resolution or 120Hz refresh rate, the phone didn’t heat up under pressure.

The Samsung S20 series packs Android 10 out of the box, so expect all the great features the latest version of Android offers, such as universal Dark Mode.

 Phone Unlocking Service Near Me

When a handset is locked it means it will only work with the provider from whom you bought it. Finding a phone unlocking service near me is important to change networks easily. If your phone is locked it won’t be able to be used on different networks. You’ll have to specifically need a phone unlocking service. We’ll explain how it works in due course.

Do You Need Your Phone Unlocked? How can I tell?

Unlocking your phone is a great convenience for many reasons. Call cost and using your favorite phone wherever you go locally or internationally are just two reasons. If you want to unlock your phone, we can assist you if you are the legal owner.

As an independent phone shop there is a fee of starting around USD$50 or TT$300. The service cost varies depending on model eg. LG, Iphone, Samsung etc.

Another method is to do it yourself by getting hold of a code or using a special data cable and software. However, you do need a fair degree of technical know-how to do so.It’s not illegal to unlock your phone with either of these methods.

But the fast and easy way of unlocking mobile phones is to use a phone unlocking service near you and ask them to unlock it and the approximate cost.

They will determine how fast and readily they’ll unlock it depending on your carrier’s policy.

Why should I unlock my phone?

The most common reason for unlocking a phone is to have flexibility and save cost. When your phone is  unlocked, you're not limited to tariffs offered by the network you bought your phone from. You can switch providers while using the your favorite Samsung Galaxy A20S.

Having a SIM from any network gives you the freedom you need to chop and change and snap up the best offers while they're still around. Weekly voice and data unlimited plans for minimal cost are offered to customers. Free international call for a day.

Many people unlock their phone when they want to sell it. Generally unlocked phones command higher prices and sell faster than those that are still tied to a network.

If you're a frequent traveler and want to save money on roaming charges by using SIMs from overseas networks, you'll need a phone that's unlocked.
