Today’s best Galaxy S20 deals

Samsung Galaxy S20

The Galaxy S20 was the 11th iteration of Samsung’s flagship phone line. Samsung broke with previous naming conventions for this release, with the S20 moniker referring to the year 2020 rather than the generation. It was the smallest of the S20 flagships with its 6.2-inch touchscreen until the introduction of the 6.1-inch Samsung Galaxy S22. The S20 boasts a gorgeous 120Hz display, an excellent camera module, and — perhaps most importantly — 5G network connectivity.

The standard Galaxy S20 was our least favorite of Samsung’s new flagships, but it’s still a solid phone (as you’d expect from the biggest name in the Android mobile space). It’s also the most affordable and smallest device in the S20 stable, so if size and/or price has ruled out the S20+ and S20 Ultra, then finding a good Samsung Galaxy S20 deal is the obvious path you should take — or consider the S20 FE if you want something even cheaper.

Keeping with tradition, Samsung released a plus-sized version of its 2020 flagship in the 6.7-inch Galaxy S20+. It’s only a half-inch larger than the Galaxy S20, but the S20+ offers more than just extra screen real estate: Our review team found that the bigger device looked better, ran longer, and took better pictures than the standard S20, making it our favorite entry in the 11th-generation Samsung flagship stable when it comes to price versus performance.

In short: If you don’t mind the modern trend toward bigger phones, then the Galaxy S20+ is a clear upgrade over the standard Galaxy S20 in most respects. Better still, the up-sized Galaxy S20 isn’t that much more expensive than its smaller sibling, and since these devices often go on sale together, the ready availability of Galaxy S20+ deals makes our top pick even more attractive.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

Phone makers typically release two flagships annually — a standard device along with a larger model — and in recent years, brands like Apple and Google have also offered cheaper midrange phones as alternatives to their pricier flagships. Samsung bucked this trend in 2020 by releasing an even more premium flagship in the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which offers some enhancements over the S20 and S20 Plus (already high-end phones in their own right). Namely, the Galaxy S20 Ultra features a larger 6.9-inch display, the beefiest hardware you’re likely to find on a modern smartphone, a superb camera module, and industry-leading battery life.

Of the three flagships, our recommendation for most people looking for an upgrade over the standard Galaxy S20 is still to jump on any Galaxy S20+ deals they come across. That said, if you want the biggest and most bleeding-edge Samsung smartphone (and are willing to pay for it), the S20 Ultra’s extra juice is worth the squeeze — just be sure to take advantage of any Galaxy S20 Ultra deals you find, as these more expensive devices are often where you’ll score biggest savings.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

Flagship smartphone brands have been jumping on the “flagship alternative” bandwagon lately, releasing budget-friendly devices alongside their more premium handsets. Apple did it with the iPhone XR and new iPhone SE, and Samsung rolled out the affordable Galaxy S10 Lite and S10e in 2019. The 11th generation of Galaxy flagships now has its budget offering in the Galaxy S20 FE, or “Fan Edition,” which is an entry-level model in the Galaxy S series with a starting price of $700.

Samsung Galaxy devices have been creeping upwards in price in recent years, and high-end models like the Galaxy S20 Ultra are now more expensive than iPhones. Samsung was obviously listening to people who wanted something cheaper when it released the S20 FE, and better still, it’s compatible with 5G networks just like the other S20 models. It’s still not exactly “cheap,” though, but we’ll be populating our list with any Galaxy S20 FE deals wherever we can find them.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G?

If you’re looking for a phone that can run on the new 5G data networks, then you’ll be pleased to know that the Galaxy S20 devices are one such line that joins a growing list of 5G-capable handsets. Just bear in mind that 5G is relatively new technology that is still in the process of rolling out nationwide, and the availability of these next-gen networks will depend upon both your location and your chosen service provider. Even if 5G isn’t offered in your immediate area right now, it likely will be at some point, so buying a smartphone like the Galaxy S20 is still not a bad idea if you intend to take advantage of these improved data speeds in the near future.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Waterproof?

You probably know this already, but a good rule of thumb is that it’s a bad idea to let your phone go for a swim. The Samsung Galaxy S20 family is generally no exception. However, the flagship Galaxy S20 devices do feature IP68 water resistance, meaning that these handsets are rated to survive a dip in up to three feet of water for as long as 30 minutes. If you actually need serious protection against moisture, though (such as for extended outdoor adventures), then you may want to invest in

a good waterproof case

that can better guard your Galaxy S20 against the elements.
