I'm Eric from Techisode TV and here are the coolest new features on the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

the first I want to talk about is one of the features I'm most excited about and that is the
120 Hertz refresh rate that comes across the entire s20 line.
On the left I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and on the right
I have the galaxy s 20 ultra and I have the 120Hzz mode turned on here
and if I start scrolling up and down you might not be able to tell the difference because this is filmed at 30 frames per
Second but in person this is a huge difference
The smoothness is just unbelievable eat lis blown away
When I saw the hundred twenty Hertz display the first time now here's the video that was filmed at 240 frames per second
So you guys can really see the difference kind of slowed down
so you could see there's a lot of stuttering on the iPhone 11 Pro Macs and
much less stuttering on the galaxy s 20 Ultra there is one caveat with 120 Hertz display and that
is that you have to be in a full HD plus resolution, which is
2400 by 1080 so if I open this and I go to wqhd, and I click apply
Then you're gonna see that it goes back to the standard 60 Hertz refresh rate
Which is what you get on the iPhone 11 pro max
The other important thing to know is that samsung has double to the touch sensitivity as well
So it samples twice as fast which is going to be really good for gaming when you need to have
Really fast movements really fast button presses the galaxy s 20 is gonna be a lot faster for that kind of activity
So Samsung has a brand new camera mode on the entire s20 lineup
It's called a single take now
if I go ahead and pull this away from my camera for a little bit and kind of zoom in on this other video you
Guys can see what's going on if I tap this button
Then it's gonna start capturing and it tells me we're at the top. It's capturing my face
I can kind of move around capture different things here and
It's gonna use all the different cameras now obviously to the front-facing camera
So it's only going to grab pictures of the front-facing camera
If I was using the rear cameras on the other side, it might switch around here and use the rear camera
I'd do the same thing
Then it's going to capture a bunch of pictures using all the different lenses and different camera modes as well
so it may use like a portrait mode or something like that and if I tap this and
If I tap this arrow, I can see the full video. I can see a bunch of the other shots that it took now
It's really dark in here. So this is kind of hard to demonstrate here
But this gives you guys a rough idea of how this feature works and I can dive a lot deeper into this feature
Once I get in as 24 myself next we're gonna be talking about the feature
you guys are probably most excited about and that is the
108 megapixel camera on the s20 ultra and I'm gonna be comparing that to the main shooter on
the galaxy note tens plus the iPhone 11 Pro max and the Google pixel for
Excel but first a word from today's sponsor surf sharp
If you've ever used public Wi-Fi at airports coffee shops or hotels
Then you've probably given away your passwords to everyone around you
that's because all it takes is a little bit of computer know-how and a couple free apps for
Anyone to see all of the data moving on that network. That's why I use a VPN service called surf shark
It encrypts all of my data so I can log in to any of my accounts without having to worry about prying eyes
VPN services, like surf shark can also spoof your location. So if you're in a country that blocks things like Netflix or YouTube
Surf shark can make it look like you're in the United States and you can still get access to those services
Surf shark can even save you money on airplane tickets
That's because airlines will often monitor your search history if they see that you've been searching for the same flight multiple times
They'll increase the price for that flight
surf
Shark hide your search history so airlines and other online retailers can't do that

Thanks again to surf Sharks for sponsoring. My galaxy unpacked coverage
So here's a one hundred eight
Megapixel picture from the galaxy s 20 ultra as you could see it's incredibly dark at the venue and this is actually a little bit
Brighter than what it looks like in person
So the first important detail is that the 1 or 8 megapixel camera can still compensate for dark environments
However, there does seem to be a trade-off and I'll get to that in a minute first
Here's the same pic taken on the galaxy note 10
And the shots look very similar next we have the iPhone 11 Promax
The iPhone image is brighter because it'll automatically take multiple shots and combine them to get a brighter image
Next we have the Google pixels for Excel which is about as bright as the iPhone 11 Pro max
But maintains better contrast
When we zoom into the same part on all four photos we get some interesting results
The 108 megapixel photo doesn't actually seem to be any sharper than the other images and it really just comes down to a difference in
Contrast and brightness between all the photos as well as a slight difference in noise across-the-board
But before you start commenting about how the 108 megapixel camera, isn't that great
I think I know what's going on here
Samsung uses a technology called pixel bidding which groups adjacent pixels together in order to get a brighter image
This sacrifices some usable resolution which would explain why we don't see a sharper image on the 108 megapixel camera versus the competition
unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to test the cameras in normal lighting conditions not cave-like conditions like we get at a
Samsung event needless to say I'll be revisiting this test when I get a retail version of the galaxy s 2003
So don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications
If you don't want to miss that
Samsung's also brought a pro video mode to the s20 lineup and this gives you a lot more granular control over your videos
This is gonna be especially useful for people who like to take their videos a little bit more serious
They want to do some kind of cinematic filming things like that
You get a ton more controls everything from ISO to color balance to auto focus
You can manually focus exactly where you want. You can you can focus rack so you can grab focus and you can gradually
Push it forward or pull it back so you can do a lot of really neat
Cinematic things with this new pro mode in case you guys are wondering you don't get the pro video mode with the front-facing camera
That's only for the rear camera
So if I go ahead and tap more here tap Pro video just it just switches back to the rear camera
Speaking of pro video Samsung's also added an 8k video mode to the entire s20 lamp
So regardless of which one you get you tap this little icon right here. That's sixteen by nine icon
And then right they're gonna get the 8k mode
It's its own dead nated mode. So you're not always filming a cage just when you want
You can switch to the mode and then switch right back to your regular filming mode now
all you can do is just start recording and now I'm filming here in 8k, which is absolutely
ridiculous now some of you guys are probably thinking why on earth
Would you need to film an 8k and there's a few reasons one. You can zoom in pretty far and
Not lose much detail or quality now in this room. It's super dark. So it's really hard to demonstrate this
I'll have to show you guys a better example when I can actually use this outdoors or with lighting
That's not super dim another big benefit to filming in HK, is that if I tap this icon in the corner?
it's going to take a still image and that's going to be a
33 megapixel still image that's huge. So if you're filming your kids running around you're filming your friends
You guys are doing a bunch of funny stuff and you're filming 8k and you're like man
That would make an awesome picture just tap that and you can quickly snap a 33 megapixel picture
But let's say you didn't get the picture and you're like, oh I didn't hit the button. That's okay. Stop the video
Tap here to show the video play the video
Scrub over to where you want to get a picture from and then tap this icon in the corner and
that is also going to take a
33 megapixel photo if I zoom up here, you can see that that works out to
33 megapixels, which is absolutely ridiculous
So there are some use cases for 8k most you guys probably won't be filming it very often
But there's definitely some good use cases for it
one more point detail about the 8k camera is
That it does not work on the front facing camera. So you can see there's no option here for
8k however, you can film in 4k at 60 frames per second with the front-facing camera
Another reason you guys might not be using the 8k camera too often
Is that just ten seconds of recording eight up about a hundred megabytes of storage?
Which is a lot especially when you think about the fact that a minute would eat about 600 megabytes of storage
Fortunately the base model of the s 28 comes with 256 gigs of storage and you can get up to a one terabyte
MicroSD card expansion as well on all the s20 lineups. So really looking at a minimum
1.25 terabytes of storage if you had that microSD card in there
So I suppose space isn't really too big of a concern when it comes to the s20 lineup
But I thought that was something you guys would want to know about
Samsung's added yet
another major camera improvement and that is the addition of a 40 megapixel camera or the front-facing sensor specifically on the
S20 ultra so if you splurge a little bit extra you get that 40 megapixel camera
which is nuts but by default you're gonna get the
things about six-and-a-half megapixels if you leave in this four by three mode
But if I tap this and I go to 40 megapixel
The image gets a little bit wider the angle gets a little bit wider and you get a much more crisp shot
Which is pretty ridiculous. So let me go ahead and just grab a picture here
Now if I zoom in on this shot
You can see that there is a ton of detail in that lumix and it's super dark in here
This is actually really impressive how far you can zoom in with the front-facing camera
I'm going to be diving up pretty deep into a lot of the features on the galaxy s 20 Ultra specifically on my channel
