No but it does mean you can crop photos and still have a large resolution suitable for printing. Not a Samsung fan but the camera specs are impressive.

It's kind of amazing where he's gotten to and how well he's done - if I'm remembering correctly, he really broke through and had an initial explosion of views when he had the glass for the iPhone 6 back in summer 2014 - doing the scratch tests on it with different materials when the thought at that time was that Apple might be using sapphire for the new display.
Welp Cloud Pink isn't 5g for Aus (is it elsewhere?), though rollout is slowly building for Aus and Telstra want +$15 on lower plans, I'm not bothered not having it.
12-16GB RAM? How pathetic that your mobile OS needs more RAM than a full-blown desktop OS (like Win 10) to run properly.
Amazing? I had to wait 6 months for an Android update on my Note 8 and 5 months on my Note 9. That’s utter crap for a device that’s in the $1,000 range. Who are the Samsung customers you’re speaking to that say it’s “amazing”
Some other company already released the phone with this 100MP sensor. By default, the output image size is not that big and the reviews were good. Obviously 100MP images do not make much sense.
Another thought - I'm kind of surprised the base price is $1000.
I know the iPhone X / Xs / 11 Pro start at $1000, but they've also always introduced new iPhones at the 699/749 mark as well. I thought maybe the S20 would have been priced in that range and then the S20 Ultra into the 4 digits.

I'll wait until reviews come out, but I'm not all that enthused about Samsung's version of Android. Has been bad for a long time.
I feel like Samsung releasing at 1400 clears the pathway for Apple to offer a 2k phone.
Nobody cares about useless synthetic benchmarks and iOS is too gimped to take advantage of it such as no split screen multitasking, background multitasking, desktop mode, emulators, etc.
It's not just mobile OS. Keep in mind that Samsung devices come with real multitasking/multiwindows UI that can be projected to a monitor (it's called DeX). With DeX, running, say. MS Office is pretty similar to desktop experience so 16GB of RAM makes perfect sense. iOS does not have this functionality, so perhaps it iOS that is pathetic here?
And I am pretty sure that you got Android updated on your phone soon after it was released by Samsung (because Samsung devices use Samsung OS, just like Apple devices use Apple OS).
Except those phones are ugly and Android is hot garbage.
I might be highly critical of Apples choices when it comes to their laptops and macOS, but their mobile devices are still top-tier when it comes to user experience.

It's indeed amazing what he's accomplished.
I think his first big hit was some video about a LG phone with a self healing back where scratches magically disappeared.
But once again, he's not a good technical reviewer imo. He's a tech enthousiast with good first looks and fancy videos and that's about it. Nothing against the guy and I watch most of his videos but would never bring them up to proof a point about technical specifications, there's a lot of smaller youtubers and tech blogs that go way more in depth for that.
Samsung has been getting pretty good with the updates since the S9.
The monthly security updates are sent out to all Galaxy phones, including the A and M series. I have an A50 as a backup phone and it is on the current February security patch for Android. It will get Android 10 next month.
The S9/S10 and Note9/10 series already got Android 10.
How long have Apple users been waiting for a Mail app that works?
User experience is number 1 to me plus ecosystem and support, updates. Obviously we all want improved hardware which hopefully we will get this year but Apple software wise are great and why I won’t be tempted by android again as good as it is hardware wise
There is no Samsung OS... they use their own visual framework on top of Android (One UI).
Most cable packages don’t even have 1080P. The majority of cable content is in 1080i.
