The prices of these phones start at $1000, $1200 and $1400 respectably. Of the three variants, the S20 Ultra has the most advanced camera setup. The difference between the three variants respectively are:

The Samsung Galaxy S20:

This is the most basic S20 model in the lineup. It will come with a 6.2 inch OLED display. The resolution of this smartphone is Quad HD. The three cameras on the back will be of 12MP+64MP+12MP and the camera in the front will be of 10MP. It will run with an Exynos 990 processor chip. The RAM of the phone will be either 8GB or 12GB, depending on the variant which you are purchasing. It will come with an internal storage of 128GB. The battery will be 4000 mAh which is considerably good. It is rated IP68 water-resistant. There will be an optional 5G variant available as well. The phone will start from a range of $1,349.

The Samsung Galaxy S20+:

This is a variant which is a grade above the base model S20. It will come with a 6.7 inch OLED display. The resolution again will be Quad HD. There is no difference in the back and front cameras except that there will be an added ToF Feature on the back camera. Again, it will run on an Exynos 990 processor. The RAM variant will depend on you whether you purchase the 8GB or 12GB variant. The internal storage will come in two options of 128GB and 512GB. There will be an increased battery size of 4500 mAh. The phone will be IP68 water resistant naturally. A 5G model is again an option that you have to take whether you want to purchase that one or not. It will start at $1,499.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra:

This is the best and most powerful variant in the series of S20. It will come with a 6.9 inch OLED display. The resolution will be the same – Quad HD. But there is a huge difference in the back cameras. The back cameras will be 108MP+48MP+12MP+ToF. If you are wondering about the front camera, it will have a 40 MP camera. The phone will run on Exynos 990 processor only. There will be two RAM variants available for you to choose from – 12GB and 16GB. The internal storage again will come in two options – 128GB and 512GB. If you are thinking about the battery, the battery is again upgraded to 5000 mAh, which means your device will run for a long period than usual. The phone is IP68 water-resistant. It will be 5G only and it will start from a price of $1,999.

All of the three smartphones have some great features and that is why they are priced this high. It is hard to determine if paying almost $1,999 for a smartphone is worth it or not, but one thing is sure that the quality you will get will be high.

Most mobile service providers require you to have an additional Hotspot plan on your account.

Hotspot and tethering may not be available through some carriers.

If you have recently changed carriers, tethering may not work because the function cannot contact your previous carrier.

Reboot the Phone:

Your device will require the backup password to unlock after rebooting.

Power on your phone.

Perform a Software Update:

The phone or tablet will show the last date that it checked for updates. To download an update, you must be connected to the internet.

 

Download updates manually:

On your device, go to Settings > Software update, and then touch Check for updates > OK. If an update is available, follow the on-screen prompts to update your device. After the update, your device will restart.

If your carrier is Verizon, swipe to and touch System updates, and then touch Check for system updates.

Open Smart Switch on your PC and connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable. If an update is available for your phone, you will see a blue Update button on the Smart Switch start screen. Touch Update > Update > OK , and then touch OK when the update is complete.

Make sure your device has enough space if you’re having trouble.

Make sure the phone or tablet is connected to the internet and charged more than 50 percent before installing a software update.

If your phone or tablet doesn’t have enough storage space, learn how to free up storage on your phone or tablet.

Check your phone or tablet after the update:

If you were having issues before the software update, use the phone or tablet normally to see if the problem has been solved.

 

Perform a Factory Data Reset:

All your data will be erased. However, before resetting your phone, you can use Smart Switch or a cloud account to back up your data onto an SD card or USB drive.

You may need your Samsung account password or Lock screen password when resetting your phone.

If you have encrypted your SD card, it must be decrypted before resetting your device, or your data will be lost.

Before you reset the phone or tablet.

Back up your phone or tablet. All data and settings will be erased.

One of your recently downloaded apps was likely the cause of the problem. Proceed to step 3.

If the issue still exists:

Downloaded apps may not be the cause of the problem. You may need to reset the phone or tablet to the factory setting.
