Samsung Galaxy S20 specs and features revealed

Probably the S20's headline feature is its impressive camera array.

The standard S20 has three main cameras, while the S20+ and S2- Ultra have four.

Each offer a 12MP main camera as well as wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

The telephoto lens is enhanced with a new "Space Zoom" feature, which uses AI to zoom in on your subject.

It hands the S20 and S20+ a 30x zoom, while the Ultra gets a bonkers 100x zoom.

All three can connect to 5G – the next generation of mobile phone networks. The standard S20 also comes in a 4G variant.
