1. Features: 5G
With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, you will get lightning-fast 5G connectivity in these smartphones. Every smartphone company is expanding their technology with 5G connectivity features and Apple should launch their 2020 flagship smartphones with 5G technology.
5G connectivity is capable of reaching speed up to 100x faster than 4G. One of the fastest 5G technology, known as mmWave, can handle up to 10Gbps, that’s faster than the majority of us are getting from fiber broadband to our homes. However, some of the carriers are already delivering more than 1 Gbps in some cities.
2. Features: 120Hz Display
All the Samsung Galaxy S20 series are powered by 120Hz smooth display. Since Apple is already providing a 120Hz display rate in iPad Pro that makes everything feel buttery smooth while playing games like Fortnite. We can expect a 120Hz smooth display in the new iPhone series 2020.
3. Features: Space Zoom
Smartphones aren’t competing or comparing with the camera quality, now, they are more focusing on camera specifications. Apple was the only one to give us 2x optical zoom in iPhone XS, but Samsung just squashed all over that.
Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+ offer 3x optical zoom and 30x “Super-Resolution Zoom”. Feature. With 100x super-resolution zoom in Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, it takes a gigantic leap additional with 10x optical zoom.
You can take a detailed picture from Samsung Galaxy S20 series cameras and you get closer than ever before to your subject.
4. Features: Two-Way Charging
We all know that Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max would offer two-way charging, however, it is yet to activate in iPhone 11 series. Apple should provide two-way wireless charging in iPhone 2020 series as Samsung Galaxy S20 series are providing this marvelous feature.
5. DeX
DeX feature from Samsung will be seen this year. DeX essentially turns your smartphone into a computer. You can easily connect your smartphone to an external keyboard, display, and mouse and you will get a desktop interface that could be more productive. Unlike Apple smartphones, Apple will surely adopt this feature in Apple 2020 smartphone series.
Above are the new features in the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and we are expecting somehow the same features in Apple iPhone 202 series. Let us know are going to buy all the new Samsung S20 series over the Apple iPhone series with these new features in the future?
