budget smartphones haven’t
really been exciting since forever but
that’s about to change
Samsung has launched the new Galaxy M
series of smartphones in India and well
we have them here so let’s take
hey guys this is a page of B Bom Bom but
more importantly this is the new Galaxy
M 20 I know there’s the galaxy m10 as
well but this is the more exciting for
of the two so today we’ll be taking a
good look at the new galaxy m20 but
before we get started let me tell you
that this video has been brought to you
by Bank Bazaar which is your one-stop
solution for all your banking needs
including credit cards and a lot more
I’ll talk more about Bank Bazaar at the
end of this video so stay tuned for that
now let’s talk about the galaxy m20 so
this is the new galaxy m20 and it’s a
pretty striking looking smartphone at
least from the front this is the first
Samsung smartphone to incorporate some
kind of a knotch
and I’m glad they went with this
teardrop notch design since it’s
definitely better and less intrusive
than other implementations I know what
Samsung calls it the Infinity V design
which is just a fancy name for this
teardrop dewdrop knotch
anyway the front here is almost bezel s
as you can see since the chin is pretty
small too and well it looks beautiful
the display here is a six point three
inch full HD plus TFT display with Asahi
dragon trail pro glass and well so far
the display here seems great it’s
vibrant the contrast is good and it
seems fairly bright too I know it’s not
AMOLED but maybe we’ll see an AMOLED
display in the m30 or the m-40 okay so
that was the front which honestly looks
pretty great but I can’t say the same
thing about this back the galaxy m20 is
back reminds you of your usual budget
samsung smartphones with its plastic
black design it’s just not attractive
enough especially when you put it
against the likes of say the redmi note
7 the zenfone max grow m2 as you can see
the glossy plastic back of the galaxy
m20 just feels to stand out however
moving on from the looks the design here
has pretty much everything
there’s the fingerprint scanner on the
back which seems fast enough but so far
it has been a little awkward to use
thanks to its higher positioning let’s
hope I get used to this but also the
usual buttons the triple slot for dual
sims and micro SD and on the bottom we
have the headphone jack and the USB C
port yes the USB C port and that is
super impressive and well it just shows
that Samsung has heard the feedback so I
definitely like this
overall the design on the new galaxy m2
ad seems great yes the back is fairly
bland and unattractive but the front
looks beautiful and unlike previous
budget phones from Samsung it’s got
almost everything yes there’s no
notification LED but I guess that’s a
sacrifice Samsung made with the Infinity
redesign moving on to the performance
now and this is one area where previous
Samsung’s budget phones where how do I
put it terrible when the galaxy m20
packs in the new Exynos 7904 octa-core
chipset with up to four gigs of that we
have the 4gb ram went into the phone and
well let’s start with the benchmarks so
here at the Geekbench cause of the x0
7904 on the m20 the snapdragon 616 on
the redmi note 7 the underclock
snapdragon 616 on the max-flow m2 and
the snapdragon 636 on the nokia 6.1 plus
now it’s clear that the single cost
cause of the m20 are comparable to the
snapdragon 636 but the multi-core scores
fall behind but hey I’m not gonna judge
the galaxy m2 any just from the
benchmark scores anyway in my brief
usage of the phone usual day-to-day
tasks have been fairly smooth and even
the gaming performance has been fine
beat while playing as for line or pubsey
mobile and if you’re wondering here the
default graphic settings of pubsey
mobile in the galaxy M 20 so yes so far
the performance in the galaxy M 20 seems
decent enough but in the past time since
budget phones have been laggy due to
experience UI as well but the galaxy
impurity comes with an optimized
experience you and 9.5 on top of Android
8.1 Oreo and it’s said to be a cut-down
refreshed version of the UI well we’ll
see about that but when it comes to the
features there’s no Bigsby here or
Samsung pay but you get features like
face unlock which works pretty well and
shows this really cool effect around the
notch when unlocking the phone it’s
pretty cool right
experienced UI 9 profile also features
navigation gestures from one UI which
are basically three swipe gestures to
replace the three buttons at the bottom
I’m not a big fan of these gestures but
it’s fun this is also the game tools
feature which brings various shortcuts
you can use during gaming to record
gameplay take screenshots lock
navigation buttons and do a lot more so
to conclude things on the
yes the benchmark scores on the galaxy
m20 are underwhelming and yeah it’s
optimized expediency 19.5 but it still
is experienced UI so I will reserve my
final judgement for our full review
let’s get to the cameras now which has
traditionally been the strong point of
Samsung budget phones the galaxy
umbrella features a 13 megapixel F 1.9
primary sensor with a 5 megapixel F 2.2
ultra-wide sensor and it has all the
Samsung features like the live focus
mode which is basically the portrait
mode the beauty mode the pro mode and
mode well here are a few shots I took
from the galaxy m20 when the photos from
the Android debate in the usual mode or
the portrait mode look fairly good so
far plus there’s the wide-angle lens
which results in some really cool photos
so there’s that but yeah when it comes
of vertex on the camera it’s a little
too early to judge when it comes to the
videos the phone does not support 4k
video recording which is weird since
eggs in our 7904 has support for it
anyway here is a 1080p video sample from
the phone switching to the front for
selfies the galaxy m20 features and 8
megapixel f 2.0 selfie camera and it’s
got all the features as well like the
live focus mode well here are a few
selfies from the phone and they look
pretty good don’t they well if you ask
me I’m positive about the cameras on the
galaxy M 20 and it will be interesting
to see how it compares against the redmi
note 7 then there’s the battery and well
it’s impressive the galaxy and brainy
packs in a massive 5000 mAh battery that
should last you a couple of days with
ease plus there’s fast charging support
onboard and unlike other manufacturers
is Xiaomi
Samsung has bundled a 15 watt fast
charger in the box which is honestly
super impressive seriously who does the
Samson furnace lastly there are a few
things to note the Galaxy m20 has dual
voltage support and there’s the white
wine elven license for HD playback in
apps like Netflix and prime video so
that’s pretty great but that was a good
look at the new Galaxy m20 and if
there’s one thing that’s clear is that
Samsung has listened to the feedback
from the consumers and brought a budget
smartphone
kind of fixes all of the issues from
previous Samsung budget phones the
galaxy infinity has a modern display
capable cameras a massive battery USBC
fast charging with a fast charger in the
box and a new refreshed experience e1
it’s still not perfect the design seems
rather bland and there’s still or you’re
on board with leaks suggesting that the
PI release will come in August and I’m
not sure if the m20 will be able to
match the competition when it comes to
the performance but hey it’s a start and
that is great at least Samsung is making
an effort
unlike the J Series days and well that
is commendable well whether you plan to
