Forget iPhone 12: Samsung Galaxy S20 is just $750 today

Samsung Galaxy S20 software

Amazon’s Prime Day deals are now underway. If you’re looking for a new phone and don’t fancy holding out or (presumably) paying through the roof for the iPhone 12, you’ll find some amazing Prime Day smartphone deals around, like the Samsung Galaxy S20, now available for $750, down from its original price of $1,000 — so you’re saving $250. Pick up this phone from Amazon over Prime Day and you’ll automatically get this discount.

With its 6.2-inch dynamic AMOLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate, everything from gaming to Netflix binges look great on the Samsung Galaxy S20. It’s a slim, light phone that feels great in your hand, weighing in at just 5.74 ounces, and its compact size is perfect if you like to sling your phone in your pocket. It features an excellent 12-megapixel main camera, and a second 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, plus a 64-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. Not only will you be able to snap some of the best selfies with this phone, but it takes decent shots in night mode too — something not all phones can promise.

The Galaxy S20 is ideal if you don’t want to spend the extra cash on the larger S20 Plus or Ultra — or tote around a larger, bulkier handset. Although it’s the smallest of the S20 range, it’s not so small that you’ll find yourself wishing for a bigger screen, in fact, it’s slightly larger than the screen on the Galaxy S10. It’s available in Cloud Blue, Cloud Pink, Cosmic Gray, or Cosmic Black, to suit your tastes, and has 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, plenty for all your apps, photos, and files — expandable up to 1TB via microSD. Battery life is adequate for a full day’s use, and the phone is future-proof, with 5G connectivity.

With $250 off the Samsung Galaxy S20 this Prime Day, bringing the price down to just $750, this is the time to bag yourself a bargain if you’re looking for a compact smartphone with an impressive screen, excellent camera, 5G connectivity, and expandable storage. You’ll need to move fast though, as this deal is only valid over Prime Day, October 13.

I love the Galaxy S23 — here are 5 things the iPhone still does better
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Apple iPhone 14 Pro

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 has arrived to the masses, and it’s one of the best Android phones you can get right now, especially the S23 Ultra. However, for those who don’t need all of the fancy bells and whistles, like the S Pen and 200MP main camera, the regular S23 is also plenty powerful for the average person, especially if you prefer smaller devices.

I’ve been using the Galaxy S23 for the past few weeks, and so far, my experience has been delightful. I know that it’s still early on in the year, but for me, the S23’s small size is perfect and comfortable. Android also does a lot of things better than iOS, like individual volume controls and notifications, for example. But I am still primarily using my iPhone 14 Pro — despite Apple having some big flaws, such as overprocessing images after you capture them.

The one thing the iPhone 14, Galaxy S23, and Pixel 7 all get wrong
Apple iPhone SE (2020) being plugged in to charge.

At Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year, new smartphones broke cover as one would expect. I won't bore you with all the details; Digital Trends' Joe Maring and Jacob Roach wrote an excellent roundup of all the best MWC 2023 announcements already.

One key quality-of-life-improving feature we picked up on as a theme was charging speed. Apple, Samsung, and Google, the mainstream phone brands by coverage (even if not all by sales), stick to a fast-charging average speed of just over an hour — even with the latest iPhone 14, Galaxy S23, and Pixel 7. By comparison, a phone from Xiaomi, Oppo, or OnePlus can get you moving in 30 minutes or even less. It's time to demand more from our phones.
Fast charging exists — just not for you

Watch the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max face off in brutal drop test
samsung galaxy s23 ultra iphone 14 pro max drop test watch phonebuff

Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, is one of the year's best phones. It comes equipped with the powerful new, purpose-build Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, a 200MP main camera, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back of the device (which means heavy durability).

But there’s another question — how does Gorilla Glass Victus 2 hold up against Apple’s confidently-named 'Ceramic Shield' on the iPhone 14 Pro Max? YouTuber PhoneBuff did a drop test to find that very answer.
