Comparison review
Galaxy S4 has a general score of 76.1, which is a bit better than the Galaxy A20's general score of 74.7. Both of these phones have Android OS, but the Galaxy S4 has a newer 4.4.2 version and Galaxy A20 has Android 11, so it offers a couple nice extra features and performance enhancements. Galaxy S4 is a way lighter phone than the Galaxy A20, but they are equally thin.
Galaxy S4 counts with just a little better hardware performance than Galaxy A20, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and 4 lesser cores (although faster), it also counts with a graphics processing unit. Galaxy S4 counts with a much better display than Samsung Galaxy A20, because although it has a lot smaller screen, it also counts with a higher 1920 x 1080 resolution and much more pixels per screen inch.
Galaxy A20 features a much greater memory capacity to install applications and games than Galaxy S4, because it has 32 GB internal memory and an external memory slot that allows a maximum of 512 GB. Samsung Galaxy A20 features a very superior battery duration than Galaxy S4, because it has a 54% more battery capacity.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a camera that's very similar to Samsung Galaxy A20's camera, because although the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not so good for low-light images and video, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the same resolution camera in the back and the same 1920x1080 (Full HD) video quality, it also counts with a bigger sensor providing a higher image quality.
Even being the best phone of the ones we are comparing, Galaxy S4 is also a lot cheaper, which makes it very easy to pick between these phones.
