Samsung Galaxy S20: Better Cameras, Better Battery, and 5G

Earlier today, Samsung unveiled its most highly-anticipated new device: the Samsung Galaxy S20. With a state-of-the-art camera that will let you record videos in 8K and a longer battery life, the S20 is slated to be the first cell phone in Canada that can support 5G.

The S20 comes in three variations, all of which support 5G:

• Samsung Galaxy S20
• Samsung Galaxy S20+
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

Launch and Preorder Dates

The launch dates and preorder dates for Canada are currently unknown, but we’ll update you as soon we find out!

If the past is any indicator of the future, however, we can expect the device to launch around the same day as it does in the United States: March 6, 2020. For the last six years, all S-model launch dates have been consistent for both Canada and the United States and there’s no reason for us to expect any different this time around.

TELUS gives us further reason to believe this is the case, since the carrier has confirmed their pre-orders will also be shipped on March 6.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Specifications

No carriers currently offer plans for the Samsung Galaxy S20 right now, but we’ll update this page once they’re available.

Rogers and TELUS currently have the phones up for preorder on their respective sites, which means that plans will be available soon.

How Does the Samsung Galaxy S20 Compare to the S10?

The Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Samsung Galaxy S20, while similar, have a few noticeable differences.

• Data speeds: Where network speeds for the Samsung S10 are available exclusively in 4G, all of the S20 models are 5G compatible, so you’ll have access to the fastest data speeds available. Of course, you’ll also need a 5G plan which isn’t available yet in Canada.
• Battery life: The batteries on Galaxy S20 devices will charge faster and last longer than on the S10.
• Memory: Expandable memory for the Samsung Galaxy S10 holds up to an impressive 512GB, but the S20 puts that number to shame with an expandable memory of up to 1TB.

With a more powerful processor, the ability to film in 8K, and revolutionary ability to connect to a 5G network, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is set to make a major impact on the market!
