Samsung recently revealed a range of new Galaxy Phones for the year 2020. Among those to steal the show were the Galaxy Z Slip and the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

The Galaxy S20 will have three variants: the 6.2-inch Galaxy S20, the 6.7-inch Galaxy S20 plus and the 6.9-inch Galaxy S20 Ultra. 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.

Remote control should be activated on your phone (this feature is turned on by default when you add a Samsung account).

From your phone, navigate to and select Settings.

Search for and touch Find My Mobile.

Touch Remote controls or the slider next to the feature to enable.

 

Access Find My Mobile from a PC:

To access Find My Mobile, navigate to the Find My Mobile website on a computer. Enter your Samsung account credentials and check I’m not a robot. Finally, select SIGN IN.
Once you are logged in, the main dashboard is made of three panels. On the left, you will find all the devices linked to the Samsung account you are using. If your phone is powered on and connected to a network, the middle panel will display its location on a map. Finally, the right panel will display all the remote options available.

Note: If you are using Find My Mobile to locate a stolen phone, do not go directly to the location on the map. Inform the authorities and let them retrieve it for you.

Some features are not available on all phones.

Locate Your Lost Phone:

Where, oh where could your phone be? On a computer, navigate to the Find My Mobile website and log into your Samsung account.

If you don’t know where you put your phone, select Ring. Review the information and select RING. Your phone will start ringing to help you locate it, even if it was set to mute.

Once you find it, swipe the X on your phone’s screen to stop the alarm.



Lock or Unlock Your Phone Remotely:

This feature is only available through Find My Mobile and removes all stored screen lock and biometric data (fingerprints, Iris, and Facial Recognition) stored on the phone.
If you are worried about your personal data, just remotely lock your phone. This will activate a Lock screen and suspend your cards in Samsung Pay.

On a computer, navigate to the Find My Mobile website and log into your Samsung account. Select Lock, and then select NEXT. Enter the necessary information, and then select LOCK. If your phone is powered on and connected to the internet, it will automatically lock.

To remotely unlock your phone, select UNLOCK in Find My Mobile. Enter your Samsung account’s password, check I’m not a robot, and then select NEXT. If your phone is powered on and connected to a network, it will be unlocked.

Note: If locking or unlocking your phone was unsuccessful, a red exclamation point will appear.

Erase Data Remotely:

Don’t let that phone thief access your private data. You can wipe it clean using a computer.

Navigate to the Find My Mobile website and log into your Samsung account. Select Erase data, and review the information. Remember, your phone will be completely reset and you will lose all your data. If you agree, select ERASE. Enter your Samsung account password, and then select NEXT. If your phone is powered on and connected to a network, all of its data will be wiped, including your financial data in Samsung Pay.

Note: If a Google account is registered on your phone, you will need to sign into the account before you can use the phone again.

No Access to Samsung Account:

If you can’t access your Samsung account, Google has a similar service called Find My Phone. If your phone was connected to a Google account, you should be able to use that service.

What if you never linked your phone to a Google or a Samsung account? Unfortunately, nothing can be done if your phone is lost or stolen. Make sure you set up a Samsung or Google account on your phone next time.

If you have your phone but can’t remember your account details, there is still one last solution: go to a Samsung Center or your phone provider. With proof of purchase, they will be able to factory reset your phone. Keep in mind you will get access to your phone, but any data on it will be erased.
