    Does samsung galaxy s20 ultra support 5g?
    robyn
    about 2 years ago
    All of Samsung's Galaxy S20 phones — the just-announced S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra — support 5G. But at launch, only the latter two will be compatible with ultra-fast millimeter wave networks, like the one Verizon currently bases its entire 5G experience on

    Does the samsung galaxy s20 ultra 5g have a headphone jack?
    nancey_prosacco
    about 2 years ago
    All of the models in the latest flagship series from Samsung — the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and the Galaxy S20 Ultra — have ditched the headphone jack. Samsung does ship earphones with a USB Type-C connector in the box, but when those are being used, you can't charge your device while listening to music.

Excellent camera features aren't quite enough to overcome an awkward design, questionable battery performance and a sky-high price. Cheaper Galaxy S20 models will have broader appeal.
