How to get a free Samsung Galaxy S20
carlee
about 2 years ago
The Samsung Galaxy S20 starts at $1,000. However, there's now a way you can get one for free! Sprint has the phones available on the Flex Lease program. You'll need to sign up for this deal online and then trade in an eligible phone. At the start of the month, this deal required an eligible trade-in device; however, it no longer does.

Is The Samsung Galaxy S20 Waterproof?
pedro.cole
about 2 years ago
Though the Samsung Galaxy S20 is not waterproof, it does have some protection against the elements. It is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. Wait, waterproof and resistant are two different things. The Samsung Galaxy S20 is water-resistant. This means that it can be immersed in up to three feet of water for 30 minutes.

lucius
about 2 years ago
First, check to see if Do Not Disturb or Airplane Mode are turned on, and turn them off. If your Samsung Galaxy S20 can send but Android not receiving texts, the first thing you need to try is to clear the Messages app's cache and data.

glenn_mohr

The Samsung Galaxy S20 and iPhone 11 are two great phones. The Galaxy S20 boasts a more impressive display, 5G capabilities and longer battery life, but we prefer the software and camera on the iPhone 11. However, the Galaxy S20 also offers a smoother 120Hz display and faster charging.
