Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy A20
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy A20 features a sleek design with dimensions of 158.4 x 74.7 x 7.8 mm and a weight of 169g, utilizing a glass front with Gorilla Glass 3 and a plastic back and frame.
- Its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent clarity at approximately 268 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Exynos 7884 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, which supports everyday tasks and moderate multitasking.
- The camera system includes a dual rear setup with a 13 MP wide lens and a 5 MP ultrawide lens, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The device is powered by a 4000mAh battery, supporting 15W charging, ensuring longevity throughout the day.
- Running on Android 9.0 (Pie) with an upgrade path to Android 11 and One UI 3.1, it offers a user-friendly experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, but it lacks 5G support.
- The absence of wireless charging and stereo speakers may be noted, yet it retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Available in multiple colors, the Galaxy A20 combines functionality with a modern aesthetic.
