The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is one of the most well-rounded smartphones I've used in years. It has versatile cameras that compete with the best, customizable software, and a display that's so good it will ruin other smartphone displays for you.

The S20+ is an across the board flagship, and while its design lacks a bit of va va voom and the zoom isn't S20 Ultra good, as a package, it strikes a brilliant balance.

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.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

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.

... if you swear by Samsung and the Galaxy Note 10 did not seduce you, then the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus marks a nice evolution and makes for a very good choice for those who are still looking for a flagship in 2020.

The Galaxy S20 Plus has a fantastic design, it has a gorgeous edge-to-edge display, its battery lasts quite long, and it can take on power-intensive tasks very smoothly. However, sometimes the camera, and usually the fingerprint sensor, spoils the experience. But despite being far from the ideal smartphone, it's still close to the best in most other categories, which justifies the eye-watering price tag.

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.

Mobile Syrup | Dean Daley

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.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

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.

... you should look elsewhere if you want the best camera smartphone. Staying loyal to Samsung will reward you with a high-quality flagship that can convince with its Wi-Fi, good call quality, decent GPS accuracy, impressive build quality and serviceable battery life.

ZDNet | Jason Cipriani

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.

CNET | Jessica Dolcourt

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.

Yet, if you find yourself baulking at the price of the Galaxy S20 Ultra, then the Galaxy S20+ can serve as a good option, one that brings the best of both worlds with its promise of flagship features, but not a kidney operation inducing price.

Engadget | Cherlynn Low

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 Mobile Indian | Sandeep Budki

Its is one of the best all-rounder smartphones in the Android ecosystem out there.

91mobiles | Deepak Dhingra

For those who can afford it though, the Galaxy S20+ is a solid blend of camera, performance and premium, and dare I say, perhaps even value.

The Economic Times | Debashis Sarkar

The S20+ looks neat and premium. The build is sturdy, the device slim but the overall design is not something you have already not seen.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

Samsung has been making great phones for a long time and the Galaxy S20+ follows along where you expect it to go. The affordability of the Galaxy S20 might attract some, but for many, the S20+ is going to be a great flagship experience.

Mashable India | Prasham Parikh

The Samsung Galaxy S20+ is a worthy successor that brings to the table a fantastic 120Hz display and an excellent set of cameras.

Tom's Guide | Philip Michaels

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.

The Indian Express | Shruti Dhapola

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.

Neowin | Rich Woods

I'd say that this is a phone worth buying if you're in an area with both sub6 and mmWave 5G, since that's really what you're paying for. Also, if you're just looking for the latest from Samsung, don't worry about the camera, because if you're upgrading from an older Samsung phone, you're used to this kind of image processing.
