Samsung's coup to leapfrog the phone industry

The company sees its new handsets as generational products that merit the distinction of being considered more than just a yearly upgrade. The Galaxy S20 line is also the company’s attempt to gain dominance over Apple in North America and Huawei in Asia and other parts of the world, by offering features and functionalities that no other device can offer.

5G across the board

All the Galaxy S20 models will ship with some flavor of 5G, the mobile data standard that’s expected to offer quicker internet speeds, more secure connections, and faster connections. 5G is nowhere near being the standard as it is still slowly rolling out in limited areas, but Samsung now has the bragging rights of being the first to the party. Businesses looking to add 5G capability to their users, now have viable devices to choose from.

What started out as a fan-made alternative to Harvest Moon (Back to Nature is definitely one of my ultimate favorite games of all time), the game eventually received financial support and a cult following, paving the way for its release in 2016. By 2020, the game has sold over 10 million copies.
