By default, however, the S20+ shoots in 4K resolution using the primary camera and as the primary’s 26mm-equivalent lens provides a slightly wider field of view compared to that from 8K capture, you can record 4K movies at either 30fps or 60fps, and frame rates of up to 960fps are available at 720p resolution, just like on the S20 Ultra. To capture 8K video, the S20+ switches over to its high-resolution 64MP sensor instead of using the primary camera. The ultra-wide camera uses a 13mm f/2.2-aperture lens and a 12MP sensor with 1.4µm pixels and the S20+ employs a 0.3MP depth sensor with time-of-flight (ToF) 3D technology when shooting in portrait mode to help improve subject segmentation when applying a bokeh effect.įor video, the S20+ can record 8K footage at 24 frames per second, just like the S20 Ultra. The ultra-wide and depth-sensing cameras on the S20+ are essentially the same as those on the S20 Ultra. Testing the rear quad-camera on the Samsung Galaxy S20+ It’s an unusual approach and it will be interesting to see how zoom shots on the S20+ compare to those on the S20 Ultra with its 103mm-equivalent periscope-style lens. The tele-camera on the S20+ features a 64MP 1/1.72-inch sensor with 0.8µm pixels linked to a 29mm-equivalent f/2.0-aperture lens with PDAF and OIS.-That’s right, the “tele-lens” doesn’t offer a much longer focal length than the primary camera, but the high-resolution 64MP sensor enables the S20+ to capture what Samsung calls x3 hybrid optical zoom shots. The primary sensor on the S20+ is coupled to a standard f/1.8-aperture wide-angle 26mm-equivalent lens with dual pixel PDAF and optical image stabilization (OIS). The result is a smaller 1.8µm pixel size on the S20+ compared to the effective 2.4µm “super-pixel” on the S20 Ultra. Although both devices output 12MP images from the primary camera, image processing technologies differ significantly and the standard array sensor on the S20+ doesn’t use pixel-binning technology like the S20 Ultra. The primary camera on the S20+ is built around a smaller, lower-resolution 1/1.76-inch 12MP sensor, compared to the 1/1.33-inch 108MP chip on the S20 Ultra.

Although the S20+ remains a quad-camera device with dedicated primary, telephoto, ultra-wide, and depth-sensing sensors, the configuration of its primary and telephoto cameras is very different. Differences between the camera modules on the S20+ and S20 Ultra are more significant, however. Its key specifications include a slightly smaller 6.7-inch AMOLED display and lower-capacity 4500mAh battery (compared to the 6.9-inch display and 5000mAh battery of the S20 Ultra), but the S20+ uses the same high-end Exynos 990 chipset (Snapdragon 865 in the USA) as its more expensive stablemate. The Samsung Galaxy S20+ sits in between the S20 and S20 Ultra in the South Korean company’s latest range of smartphones.
