Samsung Galaxy A20 Design and Display

The design of the Galaxy A20 is similar to the higher member of the Without holding either phone in your hands, it will be very difficult to tell the difference between the A-series and the more expensive Galaxy A30.

The smartphone has a polycarbonate back that gives the appearance of being made of glass. It attracts fingerprints because of the glossy finish. We discovered while using the device that it is extremely prone to scratches, even when you carefully place it in your pocket or on a table.

You should make sure to purchase a back cover before you unbox your smartphone because the Samsung Galaxy A20, unlike the majority of today’s entry-level phones like the Honor 8S and Infinix Smart 3 Plus, does not come with one.

Samsung Galaxy A20 Sound Quality

You won’t get particularly great sound out of the Samsung Galaxy A20. It has a single mono speaker at the bottom that can get loud but produces a small, unimpressive sound.

Some phones, like the OnePlus Nord N100, use the earpiece above the screen to deliver stereo sound, but the Galaxy A20 does not.

It works well for speakerphone and video viewing, but it would be much better to use headphones or an external speaker if you wanted to listen to music from your phone.

Samsung Galaxy A20 User Interface

After using Galaxy After using the A20 for a week, I can confidently say that I have grown to love Samsung’s brand-new One UI operating system. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it is even better than Huawei’s cherished EMUI.

Even though the display is large, you can now operate your Samsung device with just one hand thanks to the new software, which eliminates the need for two hands to hold the phone while carrying out any task.

One UI 1.1 provides users with a ton of fun features and a very user-friendly interface. The app drawer is hidden and can be accessed by swiping upwards, but when you first turn on the smartphone, you’ll notice that it isn’t immediately apparent.

Camera

With a 13MP primary sensor and a 5MP ultra-wide-angle lens, the dual camera setup on this device is fairly standard.

Simple controls on the camera app’s interface let you switch between modes like Pro, Photo, Video, and Live Focus by sliding up or down the bottom bar. A toggle located close to the bottom of the display lets you alternate between the primary and ultra-wide-angle lenses.

The HDR mode is on by default, but you can turn it off or on in the app’s camera settings, which you can access by tapping the gear icon in the top left corner of the interface.

In terms of camera performance, the Galaxy A20 produces passable images in daylight that have good color reproduction and sufficient sharpness. We get punchy and only slightly well-balanced colors in auto mode, despite the fact that the subject’s finer details are somewhat lost in the photographs.

Samsung Galaxy A20 Performance and Battery

Coming to the Performance of Samsung Galaxy A20, it is an average device that is powered by The entry-level Galaxy A10 smartphone uses the same chipset, the Samsung Exynos 7884.

Mali-G71 MP2 GPU, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage are also included. Here are the smartphone’s benchmark results.

When used sparingly, the smartphone performs flawlessly and can handle any task, including web browsing, social media browsing, calling, texting, movie watching, etc. smoother. It loads programs quickly and makes a great daily companion.

The smartphone does not perform optimally under heavy use, but it also does not perform particularly well. We played popular games during a dedicated gaming session, including PUBG, Asphalt 9, Deer Hunter, Real Racing 3, etc. for an hour, and aside from slight lag while switching apps and drop of frames in We had no major problems while playing PUBG.

While playing games, the smartphone also starts to get a little warm around the top backside, but it never gets hot enough to make it uncomfortable to hold.

It goes without saying that the Galaxy A20 cannot be expected to compete with other gaming smartphones on the market, but if you want to be able to play demanding games while holding a fashionable phone, the Galaxy A20 is not a bad choice.

The slow performance of the fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy A20 was one thing that we didn’t like about it. It was perplexing to observe that when you press the power button before using the fingerprint sensor, the phone unlocks instantly. When you put your finger on the sensor, the phone takes about a second or two to wake up and unlock.

Be prepared to be amazed by battery timing. Playing multiple movies back-to-back without SIM cards requires more than 14 hours of screen time from the 4000mAh battery to go from 100% to 0%.

The Galaxy A20 used only 11% of the battery during our hour-long gaming session (without any active SIM cards), which is encouraging news for anyone looking for a smartphone with long-lasting battery life.
