The Samsung Galaxy S20 features a bit better processor than Samsung Galaxy S10, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Samsung Galaxy S20 also has a larger amount of RAM memory. Samsung Galaxy S10 counts with a screen that's just as good as the screen in Samsung Galaxy S20, although the Samsung Galaxy S10 has a quite lower 1440 x 3040 resolution, a little smaller display and a just a little worse pixel number per inch of screen.
