deSiGn: Samsung’s new M series smartphone
- Galaxy M20 is an affordable smartphone
which can directly compete with smartphones
like Realme 2 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 pro and
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. Samsung introduced
M20 with an Infinity-V display. In fact, it is among
the first Samsung smartphone that comes with an
Infinity-V display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9.
Considering the display, it boasts a 6.3-inch
Full HD+ Infinity-V display which is adequate
for the price the smartphone is available and a
pixel density of 403 PPI. Talking about its back,
Samsung seems to have used plastic instead of
glass. There is a dual rear camera on the top
right and the fingerprint sensor is placed in the
centre of the phone and it does register fingerprint
accurately and quickly. Apart from fingerprint
scanner, the Galaxy M20 has included facial
recognition which works like a charm.
perFormance: The Samsung Galaxy M20
has got a Samsung Experience UI instead of One
UI. The One UI along with Android 9 Pie will be
arriving by August, according to Samsung. The
Galaxy M20 is powered by Exynos 7904 Octa
processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB
of internal storage. Though it offers mid-range
specs, the device handles every task smoothly
but struggles to perform while heavy multitasking,
which is bad considering other smartphones does
perform smoothly which are on a similar price
range. It has a single card tray for both the SIM
along with a dedicated microSD card slot.
With 5000mAh battery, Samsung Galaxy M20
does feel heavy but it lasts through the day with
heavy usage.
camera:The camera of the Samsung Galaxy
M20 sports an 8-megapixel front-facing camera
with f/1.9 aperture. The selfies captured have
a natural colour, but it lacks details. On the
rear side, the device comes with a dual camera
setup - 13-megapixel + 5-megapixel module
that takes decent photos. While the brand has
added a secondary camera sensor specifically
for depth sensing, Samsung gave a wide-angle
camera module to capture wide-angle shots. The
Galaxy M20 is able to take some good shots in
daylight but struggles at low light. The wide-
angle lens does a decent job in capturing a wider
area, though it is prone to the barrel distortion.
However, the company has given an option to fix
this issue in the gallery application.
