Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra review: Expectation - Iron Man, Reality - The Hulk

Image collected
Come March 6 and plenty gents are scheduled for a device enhancement - the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Holding the 6.9 inch Hulk in your hand, it’s what you’ve always wanted. Or could it be?

To start with, you’ll probably need hands as large as The Hulk or you might wrap up pushing some wrong buttons.
 
The 6.9 inch display apart, the S20 Ultra can execute a Hulk leap of 100X zoom using its three rear cameras, that contain a primary, 108-megapixel sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide option that captures a 123-degree field of view. Sounds impressive huh? But here’s where you wished you'd Iron Man instead.

Just like the Hulk, the S20 Ultra can leap far but struggles to focus evidently once there and gets quite thick-headed. Anything beyond 10X zoom is blurred. Perhaps, if Samsung’s image processing software were as smart as Iron Man’s Jarvis (ONLY A Rather Very Intelligent System), you can get an excellent bang for all 6.9 inches as well as your Rs 92,999 bucks.

What you’re essentially shooting with is a 12-megapixel camera using technology that combines 9 pixels into one to give you a 108-MP image. Ideally that would mean brighter and sharper pictures, but what you get are an algorithmically modified softer-edged output.

Besides, those mega pix take up mega storage space, making the Hulk go out if you’re snapping up one too many shots. Leading 40MP selfie camera would loosen up the storage space too. Unless you prefer to keep carefully the resolution low enough never to show off every i'm all over this your face.

Where in fact the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra shines is in capturing moving images. The S20 Ultra’s 8K video capture is stunningly clear and the 120 Hz screen ensures fluid motion display. For a Hulk, the S20 Ultra is fairly stable. Videos shakily shot are smoothened out by the image stabilizer.

But don’t anger the hulk with way too many 8K clips at a chance or it’s going to get too hot to take care of. Beyond one minute of shooting, the Snapdragon 865 processor-enabled phone feels somewhat warm.

Also, you’ll need an 8K TV to cast the video too, to get the very best viewing experience. Even though the telephone is 5G enabled, you’ll need to await that telecom tech to roll out in India.

So, all other features being equal, such as for example reverse wireless charging, in-display fingerprint sensor and so forth, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 being priced even higher than the game-changing folding display Galaxy Z Flip, you may be better off with the less macho Samsung Galaxy S20+ or S20.
