After a deluge of rumors and leaks, Samsung just announced its next major smartphone - the Galaxy S20. Like its predecessors, the S20 comes in multiple versions and sizes.
The biggest change to this year's model is in its camera. In fact, Samsung says it's the biggest overhaul to its smartphones' camera since the Galaxy S7 was released in 2016. The S20, S20 Plus, and their more premium sibling, the S20 Ultra, come with larger camera sensors that are better equipped to take in more light, although the specifications vary between them.
The camera may be the most significant update, but there are plenty of other changes between the S20 and its predecessor, especially when it comes to their screens and performance. The Galaxy S20 will also have Google's Duo video chat app directly integrated into the phone's dialer - likely a move to offer a competitor to Apple's FaceTime. That feature will be coming to some previous Galaxy phones as well.
The Galaxy S20 starts at $1,000, while the Galaxy S20 Plus begins at $1,200 and the entry-level Galaxy S20 Ultra costs $1,400.
Here's a look at the biggest differences between the new Galaxy 20 and last year's Galaxy S10.
