The successor to last year's top-of-the-line phone is the middle child this time around, but loses none of its appeal. In fact, with a more manageable size and weight, plus a superb primary camera that's sure to improve with updates, the Galaxy S20+ could be the best phone of 2020.

The S20+ is a loaded flagship that makes more sense for most people. At least from the price point. After spending 15 whole days with it, I am convinced that this is actually a value-for-money flagship that deserves your attention. I have already recommended this phone over the Ultra to one person.

This is the Android flagship for those who want to get real multimedia experience on a smartphone. If you are a Youtuber or someone who takes content seriously then the Galaxy S20+ offers all the firepower you need.

The Samsung Galaxy S20+ is pricey, but it's the first phone that's a solid investment in the 5G future.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

The Galaxy S20 Plus is an excellent Android smartphone that ticks all the right boxes. Were it not for its cumbersome Android skin it would likely be the smartphone to buy right now.

TechRadar | David Lumb

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is a nearly-perfect smartphone that connects to more 5G networks and has better cameras than ever, though you'll be paying for the privilege, as this is the priciest Plus smartphone yet.

Samsung's Galaxy S20+ is the gold standard for phones in 2020. It features a great design, an excellent display, a powerful processor, a reliable battery, and solid camera performance. It's hard not to recommend the handset.

Overall, the Galaxy S20+ is still a great flagship that offers excellent all-round performance, top-of-the-line features, and of course, brand value.

The Ultra is more phone, in price and size, than most will ever need. The S20 Plus, however, is just right. A modest mix of cost and performance, with a dash of 5G future-proofing.

I'm more on the fence when it comes to the S20 versus the Plus. If you don't mind a smaller phone and don't care about 5G, the standard S20 is the one for you. Most people will get what they need to from the standard S20.

The Galaxy S20+ might not have as advanced a camera system as the S20 Ultra, but it has pretty much everything else. Plus, it's smaller and lighter, making it easier to use with one hand and for prolonged periods of time. With a long-lasting battery, super smooth display and a premium build, the S20+ is one of the best Android phones around. Just wait till Samsung releases its software update to fix a camera autofocus issue before you go out and buy it.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

There will be other Android phones that meet or exceed the Galaxy S20 on any number of metrics or specs, of course. But I'm confident predicting that few - perhaps none - will match the overall experience. The Galaxy S is the default Android phone for a reason.

The Galaxy S20 Plus is the best mix of high-end features and price in Samsung's S20 lineup, offering a gorgeous 120Hz display, impressive cameras and 5G in a slick design.

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

S20+ is a superb device with the best value and blend of specs and features out of the S20 family. And among Android phones, the S20+ is the real high-end handset to beat. Just remember, if you're thinking about getting one, try to find a deal or trade-in to make that sticker shock just a bit more tolerable.

Expert Reviews | Jonathan Bray

If you do want to stick with Android, though, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus still makes a fine choice. The display, features, battery life and performance are all top notch and, although the camera can't quite beat the iPhone 11 Pro for all-round performance.

If you were waiting to upgrade from your S9 or S8, I would say the S20+ is an excellent pick on that front, unless you want to wait and see if the S20 Ultra and its 108MP camera is a better option.
