New stars in Samsung's Galaxy

SAMSUNG on Tuesday announced the next generation of Galaxy devices, all of which sport improved cameras and better displays. This year, there are three flavours of Galaxy, comprising the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra. Samsung's naming convention is also making a huge jump forward - while the new phones are the successors to last year's S10 devices, they're called the S20 instead, the better to commemorate the brand-new decade.

Here's another fun fact - the number 20 also puts Samsung ahead of Apple, which released the iPhone 11 series last year, because everyone knows that bigger is better.

But the question now is whether the S20 phones represent the huge generational leap that their name suggests. At first glance, my answer is no. The Galaxy S20 is simply a better Galaxy S10, but that doesn't mean it still isn't a very good phone. The specs are certainly impressive, particularly the cameras, which Samsung appears to be focusing on this year.
