After countless leaks here and there, Samsung’s next-generation flagship series of phones are now official. Meet the Samsung Galaxy S20 series of phones!
The devices follow last year’s Note10 series with punched-hole displays to accommodate the front camera. These also sport the latest Samsung Exynos 990 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of internal storage.

There are three models this year like in 2019, but the base model now starts with the S20 itself. A new high-end S20 Ultra features unprecedented hardware for a Samsung phone, including the ability to connect to 5G networks with ease.
