Samsung recently revealed a range of new Galaxy Phones for the year 2020. Among those to steal the show were the Galaxy Z Slip and the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
The Galaxy S20 will have three variants: the 6.2-inch Galaxy S20, the 6.7-inch Galaxy S20 plus and the 6.9-inch Galaxy S20 Ultra. The prices of these phones start at $1000, $1200 and $1400 respectably. Of the three variants, the S20 Ultra has the most advanced camera setup. The difference between the three variants respectively are:
This is the most basic S20 model in the lineup. It will come with a 6.2 inch OLED display. The resolution of this smartphone is Quad HD. The three cameras on the back will be of 12MP+64MP+12MP and the camera in the front will be of 10MP. It will run with an Exynos 990 processor chip. The RAM of the phone will be either 8GB or 12GB, depending on the variant which you are purchasing. It will come with an internal storage of 128GB. The battery will be 4000 mAh which is considerably good. It is rated IP68 water-resistant. There will be an optional 5G variant available as well. The phone will start from a range of $1,349.
The Samsung Galaxy S20+:
This is a variant which is a grade above the base model S20. It will come with a 6.7 inch OLED display. The resolution again will be Quad HD. There is no difference in the back and front cameras except that there will be an added ToF Feature on the back camera. Again, it will run on an Exynos 990 processor. The RAM variant will depend on you whether you purchase the 8GB or 12GB variant. The internal storage will come in two options of 128GB and 512GB. There will be an increased battery size of 4500 mAh. The phone will be IP68 water resistant naturally. A 5G model is again an option that you have to take whether you want to purchase that one or not. It will start at $1,499.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra:
This is the best and most powerful variant in the series of S20. It will come with a 6.9 inch OLED display. The resolution will be the same – Quad HD. But there is a huge difference in the back cameras. The back cameras will be 108MP+48MP+12MP+ToF. If you are wondering about the front camera, it will have a 40 MP camera. The phone will run on Exynos 990 processor only. There will be two RAM variants available for you to choose from – 12GB and 16GB. The internal storage again will come in two options – 128GB and 512GB. If you are thinking about the battery, the battery is again upgraded to 5000 mAh, which means your device will run for a long period than usual. The phone is IP68 water-resistant. It will be 5G only and it will start from a price of $1,999.
All of the three smartphones have some great features and that is why they are priced this high. It is hard to determine if paying almost $1,999 for a smartphone is worth it or not, but one thing is sure that the quality you will get will be high.
Instructions on How To Screen Mirror Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra:
That photograph you took is stunning, but you know what would make it look even more amazing? Projecting it onto a big screen. With Smart View, you can wirelessly connect a compatible Samsung device to a Samsung Smart TV or a Chromecast device. Beam photos, videos, presentations, and games on a large screen to make them look bigger and better.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and device model.
Connect to your TV with Smart View:
Make a big statement by projecting photos or videos from your phone or tablet onto your TV. You can also do the opposite and stream your TV to your phone’s or tablet’s screen!
Open the Quick Settings panel by swiping down from the top of the screen using two fingers. Then swipe to and tap the Smart View icon.
Tap your TV from the list of Available devices. Depending on the TV, you may need to enter a PIN or allow access to complete the connection.
Your phone’s or tablet’s screen will now appear on the TV. If you want to stream the TV’s screen to your phone or tablet, and the TV supports it, tap Other device → Phone. To switch back, tap Phone → Other device.
Smart View screen with a Samsung TV listed:
When you are done using Smart View, tap the Smart View icon on your phone, and then tap
Disconnect.
Important: Make sure your TV is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone. Some TVs may require you to switch inputs or turn on screen mirroring.
Project your Windows 10 PC to a TV:
You can also mirror your Windows 10 PC’s screen to a TV even if you don’t have the Smart View app installed on it.
On your PC, press Windows + K simultaneously to open the screen mirroring menu. Or you can click the Action Center icon on the far right of the task bar. It looks like a chat bubble. Then, click Connect to open the screen mirror menu. Select your TV from the list of available devices, and then review the on-screen instructions. Once connected, your PC’s screen will appear on the TV.
Access Smart View with SmartThings:
You can mirror your phone’s or tablet’s display to a TV using the SmartThings app as well.
Using your phone or tablet, open the SmartThings app, and select the TV you would like to mirror to. Make sure the TV is turned on and connected to your SmartThings account.
In the TV’s setting page, tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Mirror screen (Smart View). If needed, give your TV permission to access your device. Once that’s done, your device’s screen will appear on the TV.
Note: This feature may not be available on the PC version of SmartThings.
Screen mirror using a DeX cable or HDMI cable:
If you can’t connect your phone or tablet to a TV wirelessly, you can still screen mirror using a DeX cable or a USB-C to HDMI cable. Just connect the cable to your TV. On some models, it may start screen mirroring automatically. Other times, you may need to swipe down from the top of your device’s screen to open the Notification panel. Then, tap on the Samsung DeX
notification that says “Tap here to switch to screen mirroring.” Now select the correct source on your TV and whatever is displayed on your phone will appear on the TV.
Cast your device’s media:
Another option that is similar to screen mirroring is casting, although there are some key differences. Casting usually only works with videos or movies, and does not display exactly what’s on your screen the way screen mirroring does.
With casting, you can control the video on your phone or tablet, but you can also close the app and do other things without interrupting the video. Certain apps like Netflix or YouTube let you cast videos from your device directly to a big screen – there’s usually a casting icon you can tap. Even if you don’t have a smart TV, you can use third-party casting devices like Chromecast or Amazon Firestick to cast videos, photos, and other media.
Use the Smart View
app:
Besides the Smart View feature that’s integrated into Galaxy phones and tablets, there’s also a Smart View app. However, the app has a different purpose.
It’s basically a hub for your entertainment. It lets you cast different apps and streaming services, such as Hulu or Netflix, onto a TV using your phone or tablet. You can also search for movies or shows to cast on the TV.
To use this app, first download Smart View from the Play Store. Power on your TV, and then open the Smart View app on your phone or tablet. Select your desired TV from the list of available devices. The App menu will appear. Select an app, such as Netflix or YouTube, to launch it on the TV. Remember, you can also search for movies and shows.
Note: The TV and device must be connected to the same network.
Tips for mirroring with Smart View:
Here are some tips if you’re having
trouble mirroring your phone:
If your phone or tablet will not display, it may need permission from the TV. Restart your device and TV, and then try connecting again. Make sure to select Allow when it displays on the TV.
On a Samsung TV, you can bypass allowing permission for your device to access your TV. From Settings, on your TV, navigate to General, and then External Device Manager. Navigate to Device Connect Manager, and then select Access Notification. Set this to Off to automatically connect with the device when using Smart View. From the Device Connect Manager screen, you can also select Device List to manage the devices connected to your TV.
If your screen keeps turning off, change the screen timeout settings. From Settings, search for and select Screen timeout. From there, adjust the settings so your phone or tablet stays on for longer.
If the Smart View menu is minimized, tap the Smart View icon on
your phone or tablet. The Smart View Control menu is only displayed on your connected device.
If the device’s image looks small on your screen, you can make it a little bigger by changing the aspect ratio. On your phone or tablet, tap the Smart View icon, and then tap More options (the three vertical dots). Tap Settings, and then tap Phone aspect ratio. From there you can choose your desired aspect ratio. Most TVs will look best with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
