With the latest specs, Samsung’s Galaxy S20 phones are among the fastest Android phones you can buy right now.
A lot of that speed is thanks to the latest chip from Qualcomm — the Snapdragon 865. In addition, each Galaxy S20 phone comes with 12 GB of RAM as standard, which can easily be categorized as overkill for most people. Essentially, all that RAM will keep more of your apps open in the background, allowing them to be ready where you left off when you return to them.
And the cherry on top is the 120Hz refresh rate screen that makes just about everything on the screen look smoother and faster.
If you want to go one step further, there’s a hidden option in the Galaxy S20’s settings that can make the phone look and feel even faster.
What this hidden option does is cut the “animation” times on the phone in half. You see animations pretty much every time you use your phone — things like swiping around the Android operating system and even opening apps all contain animations. Without them, swiping around your phone would look less fluid and the experience wouldn’t be as pleasant. But cutting down the length of the animation in half maintains that fluid experience while speeding up the overall feel of the phone.
