Many pro selfie lovers will advise you to avoid shadows and darker environments to take a perfect selfie. Fear not if you have the Galaxy S20 Ultra because even in the low light spaces when your enthusiasm to snap a selfie could be dire, the device's increased sensors come to play. The device's pro-grade camera system captures multiple photos at once, and then merges them into a single clean shot with less blur and more clarity. The image sensors have been increased to take in more light to produce vibrant and richer photos in the dark. So anytime is selfie time. You can pose, snap, post in the evenings and have those rising Instagram likes notifications buzzing throughout the night.
Screen
How about a huge, clear screen while working on that perfect frame before clicking the capture button? Yup, we know! The device is fitted with a big 6.9-inch screen bigger than its plus-sized industry competitors. The Samsung S20 Ultra screen looks great at any angle, regardless of the environment you are in. The screen was designed to support HDR10+ and its bigger display screen will allow you to include far more detail in the background for your images if you so wish.

Taking the perfect picture is only as effective as the camera you are using. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is modelled with a Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with HDR 10+ certified display that will give every avid selfie taker a cinematic viewing experience with real colours and contrasts. The device camera that's been lauded as the most powerful selfie camera on a Galaxy phone yet delivers pro-grade tech for selfies and all the images to come out detailed and sharp on display with larger pixels for crisp low light images.
