Things I like
Galaxy A20 camera: Impressive depth
The back of the Galaxy A20 features a slightly protruding dual-camera module that holds a 13-megapixel lens with an f/1.9 aperture and a 5-megapixel wide-angle shooter with an f/2.2 aperture.
Things I don't like
Galaxy A20 display: Sufficient but not the sharpest
The Galaxy A20 is the same size as A50, right down to its 6.4-inch AMOLED display. At 1560 x 720, the resolution isn't as sharp as the FHD+ panel on the A50, and those missing pixels tend to make their presence known rather quickly. Text, app icons and gestures look slightly jagged on the A20's display. When I watched the trailer for Top Gun: Maverick on a stable Wi-Fi network, Tom Cruise's chiseled features looked decidedly less chiseled. The display's low resolution isn't ideal for streaming video, whereas the $299 Moto G7's 2270 x 1080 picture is near perfect.
Overall Ratings:
Verdict
The Galaxy A20 redeems itself in how well the phone's 4,000-mAh battery holds up. In the Tom's Guide battery test, in which we have the phone surf the web continuously over T-Mobile's LTE network until the device runs out of juice, the A20 lasted an impressive 13 hours and 46 minutes. For comparison, the average smartphone dies just after 10 hours. The Nokia 7.1, which costs $100 more than the A20, ran out of power after just 7:42. The Moto G7 Power still holds the budget crown, with a 15:35 result, but that phone's larger, 5,000-mAh battery makes it bulkier than the A20.
