7 Reasons to Wait for the Galaxy S20 & 6 Reasons Not To

Wait for the Best Version of Android 10 & One UI

If you want the best version of Samsung's Android 10 update, think about waiting for the Galaxy S20. 

While it might be tempting to go with a cheaper device like the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, or Galaxy S9, the software support for those devices will end much sooner.

Samsung typically keeps devices upgraded with major updates for two years before ending support. The Galaxy S7 probably won't get Android Pie and the Galaxy S8 probably won't get Android 10. The Galaxy S9 could get stuck on Android 10. 

The Galaxy S20's status as the company's flagship also ensures that you'll get the best version of Android 10 and Samsung's One UI.

Older devices sometimes miss out on software features due to hardware limitations and that's a risk you take buying an older model over a newer one. 

According to SamMobile, the Galaxy S20 will debut with Android 10 and Samsung's enhanced One UI 2.1 user interface. We don't know what's on board, but those details should emerge ahead of the device's release date. 

A possible Galaxy S20 benchmark shows Android 10 on board which shouldn't come as much of a surprise. 

Galaxy S20 camera rumors hint at several upgrades including Director’s View, Single Take Photo, and Night Hyperlapse. A more recent report from XDA-Developers outlines additional camera features in detail. 

The Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy Note 10 will get some of the Galaxy S20's software features, but it could take weeks for them to roll out. 

We've heard the Galaxy S20's software is now in development which means we should get some more details ahead of the launch date. 

If you plan on keeping your next phone for awhile, go with the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note 10 or think about waiting for the Galaxy S20.
