Choosing to upgrade from a Galaxy S8 Plus to a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G means you will be getting a bigger display, and also gaining support for 5G on sub6 and mmWave networks. The display on the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is a 6.9-inch AMOLED QUAD HD+ with a resolution of 3200 x 1440. This upgrade path would also have you going from a Snapdragon 835 to a Snapdragon 865 processor and from 4GB of RAM to up to 16GB of RAM. Another big boost is with the internal storage which goes from a max of 64GB to a max of 512GB. Other highlights of the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G include a 5000 mAh battery with fast charging, a 40MP selfie camera, and a rear-camera array that includes a DepthVision camera along with a 108MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto.
