The Future Is Here: 5G Smartphones! Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus have officially been released.

The future is here – 5G is the latest version of cellular networks. This is a once in a decade upgrade to the way consumers can wirelessly deliver data, making the Galaxy S20 one of the fastest and most powerful smartphones in the market. Just how much faster? In this new era, the Galaxy S20 with 5G will average out to be roughly 20 times faster than the traditional 4G network you are currently using.

5G, Done Right.

Samsung’s brand new Galaxy S20 5G series are a part of Verizon’s lightning-fast 5G network. 5G will give you access to speeds that will change the way you use your smartphone for work, play and everything in between. What exactly does that entail?

As 5G continues to expand, you’ll be able to play video games with almost no lag time. It doesn’t stop there, you’ll be able to upload photos and videos to your favorite social media platform as fast as you can shoot!

Camera of the future: 3D scans and 8K resolution

While Samsung is not the first to roll out 3D scanning, they came up with a cool application for 3D scanning with Augmented Reality. Consumers can now 3D scan objects and drop them into their photos and videos. Users can even animate them using motion capture. This will be huge for consumers that put out content on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.

For videographers, the devices can shoot in 8K so users can capture their world in true-to-life color and quality. Thanks to Super Steady’s anti-rolling stabilization and AI motion analysis, even the bumpiest videos look like they were shot using a gimbal.

Lightning-fast charging

Long gone are the days where your smartphone battery dies a few hours after charging. With a quick 30-minute charging session, the Galaxy S20 will hold battery juice all day long. Samsung did this by including a 45W charger to amp up the wattage in comparison to competitors that have a 30W charger.

So, where can I get one and how much is this going to cost me?
