Today you will find the Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 + and Galaxy S20 Ultra on sale for the first time. This release includes multiple phones with very similar features and capabilities – and this will be confusing if you are not set up with the details you need for your carrier of choice. You can also consider purchasing one of these phones out of contract, for an initial cost. Let’s take a look at what you need to know.
4. Do you really need such an expensive phone?
The price is almost identical for each individual device, regardless of your chosen operator. The price of one phone to the next, however, can be drastically different – so make sure you know if you really need this Ultra, or if the S20 (the most basic model) will do the trick. Take a look at our Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Review to see that it means owning an EXCESSIVE phone.
3. Base price
The Samsung Galaxy S20 will cost you around $ 1,000 if you buy it all at once. The S20 + will cost closer to $ 1,200, and the Ultra will go for $ 1,400. You’ll pay four hundred dollars more between the most basic and the most extravagant phone in this collection.
Verizon has a 2-year plan for each phone with a cost per month for each of the three phones, S20 for $ 41.66, S20 + for $ 49.99 and S20 Ultra for $ 58.33 USD. The prices of the Samsung Galaxy S20 at T-Mobile USA are essentially the same as those of Verizon, with a 24-month payment plan (one price per month).
AT&T has a 30 month plan (more than 2 years) with a monthly cost as well. Given that the cost is spread over a few months compared to Verizon, it seems like AT&T has a better deal, when in reality you always pay the same final cost when you add it all up. AT&T costs for 30 months have the S20 for $ 33.34, the S20 + for $ 46.67 and the S20 Ultra for $ 53.34 USD.

1. The 5G question
If you hope to use 5G connectivity in the near future, make sure you know which phone does what. If you want full 5G coverage, you need to make sure you’re getting the right model – it’s probably not the base model for the Galaxy S20. The Galaxy S20 + and Ultra have the full range of 5G coverage, unlike the Galaxy S20 (base model).
