ISSUE 71 • ANDROID ADVISOR 7the ‘100x Space Zoom’ of the S20 Ultra, but I speak
from experience: for a decent shot at 100x you’ll
need much steadier hands than I have.
As for the rest of the Ultra, just don’t even. Sure,
you can get 16GB of RAM and a whopping 108Mp
camera sensor to power that zoom, but you don’t
need either – and no spec bump is worth the
burden of carrying round a 220g brick with a 6.9in
display and a camera bump that’s almost as thick
as the phone itself.
The S20 is by no means a cheap phone – it’s still
a Samsung flagship, after all – but when the full set
launches on 13 March this is clearly where you get
the most bang for your buck. With top internal specs
and a build that’s big without being a beast, this is
the sweet spot. And it’s the only one you can still get
in 4G – perfect for anyone worried that 5G is going
to melt all our brains.
