When you see Samsung launch the next flagship Galaxy S-series device at the beginning of each year, it’s always useful to consider last year’s models at discounted prices.
The Samsung S10 Plus is no longer the flagship, but still powerful enough for any task, the Samsung Exynos 9820 chipset, Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, 8 GB of RAM (with 12 GB option) and flash memory from 128 GB to 1 TB with microSD for even greater capacity.

In addition, users of S10 Plus will certainly appreciate the quick and easy output of video, photos and documents to an external monitor using Samsung DeX. And the additional ability to charge other devices and equipment, such as the new Galaxy Buds, is convenient for those who carry a lot of gadgets with them.
pros: IP68 rating, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5, ANT + and stunning design, dual front camera makes high-quality selfies.

The camera is also very similar to the one inside the Galaxy A51: the main lens is 48 MP, wide-angle 12 MP and macro lens 5 MP. The only unique feature of the S10 Lite is its camera stabilization system called Super Steady OIS. The camera sensor seems to “move” in all three directions to compensate for the movement of the hands of the shooters. True, in some video modes, the system does not work.
As for the 6.7-inch display, it is traditionally good for Samsung. Super AMOLED, with excellent viewing angles and colors, as well as HDR + support.
pros: performance, camera stabilization system, ultrafast charge.

Recently, another flower appeared in the Samsung bouquet. This time it is not a magnificent flagship orchid, but a modest violet-budget employee. The main distinguishing feature of the device is its long-life battery. Its capacity is 5000 mAh, there is support for fast charging (15 W). And in combination with a screen with a diagonal of 6.4 and a resolution of 720 x 1560, i.e. HD +, the smartphone will be able to work for a long, very long time. At least 2-3 days without recharging, subject to moderate use.

pros: battery life, camera, price, fingerprint scanner and face recognition.
Minuses: for that price - no.
5. Samsung Galaxy M31
- on the android platform
- 2 SIM card slots
- 6.4 ″ screen, resolution 2340 × 1080
- four cameras 64 MP / 8 MP / 5 MP / 5 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 6 GB RAM
- 6000 mAh battery
- weight 191 g
- WxHxT 75.10 × 159.20 × 8.90 mm
This model is primarily aimed at a young audience and, as Samsung’s marketers have calculated, the most important for it are the camera, battery life and display.
Therefore, the M30 was equipped with an impressive 6000 mAh battery, a 48 MP triple rear camera and a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen. The manufacturer was not greedy for the Exynos 9611 processor, whose capabilities are enough for any everyday task, and such heavy games like Call Of Duty and PUBG go at medium settings.
Both the display and the battery of the M30 were already quite good, therefore, in the M31 version, engineers paid special attention to the camera. The rear camera received a 64 MP main sensor, a macro lens, an ultra-wide lens, a depth sensor, and the front camera was “upgraded” to 32 MA.
“And what did you save on?” - the reader will probably ask a question, remembering that perfection does not happen. Saved mainly on design. The case is made of plastic (which is so easy to scratch), the design is very practical, but without inspiration, so the device looks worse than it works. But in terms of price / performance ratio, the Galaxy M31 is one of the best smartphones from Samsung.
pros: excellent display, capacious battery, good cameras, instant fingerprint scanner.
Minuses: heavy, plastic case, mediocre night shooting.
4. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+
- Android 9.0
- 2 SIM card slots
- screen 6.8 ″, resolution 3040 × 1440
- four cameras 12 MP / 16 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 256 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 12 GB RAM
- 4300 mAh battery
- weight 196 g
- WxHxT 77.20 × 162.30 × 7.90 mm
One of the most beautiful, powerful and expensive models in the Samsung 2020 smartphone ranking in terms of price and quality remains attractive even after the launch of the S20. It comes with an S Pen accessory with Air Actions support, a huge 6.8-inch screen with a built-in fingerprint scanner, and just exudes quality, even if you just hold it in your hands. With its high-performance Exynos 9825 processor, 12 GB of RAM and 256 to 512 GB of internal storage, this device will last you many years.
Of course, not everyone needs such a huge screen, a stylus or such a big gap in finances. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is probably too good for everyday tasks like checking email, casual games or browsing social networks. Therefore, if you need a reliable "mobile" horse, then in the ranking of Samsung smartphones in 2020 there are much cheaper models.
pros: beautiful design, case included, IP68 waterproof, support for wireless charging as well as fast charging, excellent image quality during the day and in low light.
Minuses: there is no 3.5 mm audio jack and there is no adapter in the kit, there are often random clicks on a rounded frameless screen, high price.
3. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite
- Android smartphone
- 2 SIM card slots
- 6.7 ″ screen, resolution 2400 × 1080
- three cameras 12 MP / 12 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 6 GB RAM
- 4500 mAh battery
- weight 199 g
- WxHxT 76.10 × 163.70 × 8.70 mm
The three best models in the ranking of smartphones from Samsung are opened by a device similar to a puzzle assembled from pieces of previous flagships. It has the same Exynos 9810 processor as the Galaxy Note 9, released in 2018.
Creating a camera, Samsung engineers rummaged in the bins and connected in one device the main sensor of 12 MP from Galaxy Note 8 (so it does not have a variable aperture), a telephoto lens with double zoom from Galaxy Note 9 and a wide-angle lens from Galaxy Note 10/10 + . The front camera of 32 MP will make your smile even wider when you see how high-quality the picture came out. The only “but” is the need for good lighting.
And the 6.7-inch display with Full HD resolution is only slightly smaller than the 6.8-inch Galaxy Note 10+ display. And although the latter comes with 12 GB of RAM, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite has fewer options - from 6 to 8 GB. The internal memory of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is 128 GB, which can be increased up to 1 TB using a memory card.
But most buyers choose the Note series for the sake of features that the S Pen provides - an electronic pen. Moreover, the model’s capabilities in this regard are completely similar to the flagship, Note 10+. The device “understands” not only the touch of the pen on the screen, but also its movement in the air. In addition, the company's engineers added the ability to translate handwritten notes into typed text in the Galaxy Note 10 Lite.
And, to the great delight of users, Samsung finally added a connector for wired headphones to the smartphone.
pros: good camera, electronic pen.
Minuses: one speaker, mediocre sound, no moisture protection.
2. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
- Android 10
- 2 SIM card slots
- screen 6.9 ″, resolution 3200 × 1440
- four cameras 108 MP / 48 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 12 GB RAM
- 5000 mAh battery
- weight 220 g
- WxHxT 76 × 166.90 × 8.80 mm
One of the best Samsung smartphones of 2020 lives up to its epic name. It has the largest screen of 6.9 inches with support for HDR10 +, the largest battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh and the most advanced cameras to date from all Samsung models. This is practically the best guaranteed best Android phone of 2020.
With the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has taken the already amazing quality of the S20 and S20 + cameras to a whole new level. The main camera sensor has a resolution of 108 MP, a 10x telephoto lens and a 100x magnification with super resolution. As a result, at any time, day or night, you will get a picture with impeccable detail, excellent color balance and clear edges without distortion. Not surprisingly, the S20 Ultra is among the top 10 best camera phones of 2020 according to DXOMARK.
On the other hand, the phone’s 40-megapixel front camera will take clearer selfies than any other Samsung Galaxy model.
The top performance is provided by the best processor from Samsung at the moment - Exynos 990 in tandem with the Mali-G77 MP11 video accelerator. So all the latest games will fly on ultra-settings for at least the next couple of years.
pros: support for 5G networks, water and dust protection according to the IP68 standard, there is fast and wireless charging, there is a slot for a memory card, the refresh rate of the screen is 120 Hz.
Minuses: No 3.5mm headphone jack.
1. Samsung Galaxy S20 +
- Android 10
- 2 SIM card slots
- screen 6.7 ″, resolution 3200 × 1440
- four cameras 64 MP / 12 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 128 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 8 GB RAM
- 4500 mAh battery
- weight 186 g
- WxHxT 73.70 × 161.90 × 7.80 mm
In the 2020 ranking of smartphones from Samsung, the S20 + is doomed to popularity. The model is the middle ground between the relatively inexpensive Galaxy S20 and the impressive flagship Galaxy S20 Ultra. Of course, the specifications of the "ultra" are good, but some will be scared off by the high price, while others - by the massive case of the device.
In essence, the S20 + is the S20, but with some nice changes. Two main advantages of the device are a screen with a diagonal of 6.7 inches (larger than the “non-plus” version) and support for 5G networks (with mmWave technology). In the S20, in this regard, the pipe is lower and the smoke is smoother - the 5G version of this smartphone is less fast, Sub-6.
There are other nice differences. The “plus” version has a larger battery capacity than the S20 (though smaller than the Ultra) - 4,500 mAh, respectively, compared to 4,000 mAh and 5,000 mAh. If you watch the video, the battery can last 20 hours, and with intensive use of Wi-Fi - about 17 hours. Provided that the refresh rate of the screen is 60 Hz.
If you want something more voluminous, then there is the opportunity to buy a modification with increased flash memory: instead of 128 GB - 512 GB.
And although the best novelty of Samsung smartphones in 2020 does not have such a stunning 108 MP lens as the "ultra" ones, however, the main sensor with a resolution of 12 MP is capable of producing a very good picture. A 64 MP telephoto lens can magnify objects by 3 times. And the depth camera and wide-angle lens are exactly the same as the "ultra".
pros: flagship performance, 5G support, 120 Hz screen refresh rate.
Minuses: expensive, the backrest looks like a plastic one, the screen settings are not very flexible, which is why colors can sometimes look either oversaturated or faded too much.
