The Samsung Galaxy S20 is a series of Android-based smartphones developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its Galaxy S series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Galaxy S10 series. The first three smartphones were unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on February 11, 2020 while the Fan Edition model was unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on September 23, 2020.
The S20 series consists of the flagship Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ models differentiated primarily by screen size, the larger camera-focused model, the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and the cheaper flagship model, the Galaxy S20 FE. Key upgrades over the previous model, in addition to improved specifications, include a display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, an improved camera system supporting 8K video recording (7680×4320) for the first three models and a super-resolution zoom of 30–100x, depending on the model.
The first three phones were released in the United States on March 6, 2020 and in Europe on March 13, 2020, while the Fan Edition was released globally on October 2, 2020. The Galaxy S20 FE, S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra launch prices started at US$699, US$999, US$1,199 and US$1,399, respectively.
It is the first smartphone lineup to receive USB fast-charger certification from the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).
In May, a rugged variant for military use named the "Tactical Edition" was released.
The Galaxy S20 was succeeded by the Galaxy S21, which was announced on January 14, 2021. In April 2022, following the release of its new flagship, the Galaxy S22, Samsung released a refreshed version of the Galaxy S20 FE known as the Galaxy S20 FE 2022, which has the same processor as the Galaxy S20 series. It has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage and ships with One UI 4 based on Android 12.
