Our Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy M20, in its bid to compete strongly against the Chinese incumbents, implements a lot of firsts for a Samsung device — A new design, wide-angle cameras and a massive battery. But all that doesn't discount the fact that the Galaxy M20 is not for everyone.

Samsung Galaxy M20 64GB: Detailed Review

If you need any more indication of how popular and important the mid-range and budget segment is for the Indian smartphone market, look no further than the latest developments from Samsung’s smartphone division in India. The Korean giant which usually reserves its latest tech for its flagships recently came out with the Galaxy M20, that comes with a lot of firsts for a Samsung phone. It’s the first to house a notch (for Samsung), the first Samsung mid-ranger to offer a massive 5,000mAh battery, and surprisingly, the first to offer an ultra-wide angle camera at that price. All those combined, the Galaxy M20 has certainly piqued the interest of the general public and critics alike. The ongoing theme in the argument is that the Galaxy M20 is Samsung’s answer to the Chinese smartphones whose aggressive price/spec ratio has captured the minds of the rural and urban Indians alike. However, a simple look at the spec-sheet will reveal the Galaxy M20 is not really competing against them on paper. Instead, after using the smartphone for a fortnight, I gathered that Samsung is relying on the company’s historical ability to make good phones to carry this one over the fence. What does that really mean, you ask? Read the in-depth review to find out.

Design  

Over the past few years, affordable phones from Samsung all carried similar designs. You could easily spot a mid-range Samsung smartphone from a distance. The Galaxy M20 puts a stop to that. Last year the upper mid-range phones started implemented the Infinity AMOLED panels with 18:9 aspect ratio, ensuring some level of differentiation. The quad-camera Galaxy A9 even introduced bright colours like Bubblegum Pink to the company’s phone, but the Galaxy M20 is an indication that there is a chance of a total design overhaul in other upcoming affordable Samsung phones.
