WE’VE LOST OUR HEARTS TO A STARSHIP SNOOPER
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
Time to meet the first Samsung phone of 2020, so packed with tech it might start seeping out of the SIM tray. The Galaxy S20 Ultra introduces Space Zoom, which lets you focus in 100x closer to your subject. Want to check the moon for the flag Neil Armstrong (supposedly) left there in 1969, or how your neighbour’s begonias are going? Sorted. This is also the first phone to shoot 8K video - and it’s not often we use mobiles that could give your 4K OLED telly a complex.
These specs are part of the Ultra’s quad rear camera array - made up of a 108MP primary sensor, 48MP telephoto with 10x “hybrid optical” zoom, 12MP ultra-wide and ToF depth sensor. And the photo boasts don’t end there. The new Bright Night mode promises ‘“ridiculous” low-light skills, mixing 30 frames using a clever algorithm.
And the other bits? You get a 6.9in 120Hz OLED screen, up to 512GB storage, a new Exynos 990 processor with 25% more graphics power, 5G data and a plus-size 5000mAh battery.
