Refurbished Samsung Galaxy S20 Series UK: Buy S20, Plus, Ultra & FE

The Samsung Galaxy S20 series is old enough now to vote in a school council election — the S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra launched in March 2020, with the S20 FE following that autumn. Five to six years on, that's a genuinely long time in phone years, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Samsung's major Android updates for this generation ended with Android 13 / One UI 5.1, and even the extended run of quarterly security patches has now wound down. So why does this guide exist? Because a well-tested, professionally refurbished S20-series phone can still be a smooth, capable, good-looking Android handset for a fraction of current flagship prices — as a second phone, a starter phone, a gift, or simply a budget-conscious daily driver for someone who mainly texts, browses, streams and takes photos. This guide is deliberately candid about what these phones are (and aren't) in 2026, so you can decide with your eyes open.

Every phone in this line-up is sold by The Tech Gadgets as refurbished and unlocked, never new, and graded into one of four cosmetic condition tiers: Like New, Excellent, Very Good or Fair. All four models carry our standard 12-month warranty and 30-day return window. Let's get into the detail.

Buyer Match

A quick steer, based on what each model is actually good at rather than marketing labels:

• Galaxy S20 FE — best value in the range. Suits anyone who wants a smooth 120Hz screen, a competent everyday camera, and flagship-era build quality without paying for hardware they won't use.
• Galaxy S20 — the most compact option here. Good for people who specifically want a large-screen-era flagship experience but still want it to be manageable in one hand.
• Galaxy S20+ — for buyers who want a bigger screen and a slightly stronger portrait camera than the standard S20, without going all the way to Ultra size or price.
• Galaxy S20 Ultra — for photography enthusiasts who want real zoom reach, the biggest battery in the family, and the largest display, and don't mind the extra size and weight.

Which Should You Buy?

If you're not sure where to start, work backwards from what actually matters to you. If price is the deciding factor, the Galaxy S20 FE is the obvious pick — it keeps the 120Hz display and the core flagship experience while costing the least of the four. If you want the most pocketable phone with the fewest compromises on build quality, the standard Galaxy S20 is worth the small premium over the FE. If screen size and portrait photography matter more than pocketability, look at the Galaxy S20+. And if camera zoom range, screen size and battery capacity are the priority — and you're comfortable with a genuinely large phone — the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the one to go for.

Whichever you choose, remember these are all 2020-generation phones with Samsung's major software support behind them. None of them will get a new version of Android. What you're buying is a snapshot of a very good year for Samsung hardware, running software that Samsung has finished updating.

Galaxy S20

The Galaxy S20 was Samsung's move to bring 120Hz displays and a genuinely versatile camera to its standard flagship tier, in a size that's still comfortable to use one-handed by today's standards. Samsung specifies a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at QHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, wrapped in a glass-and-aluminium body with IP68 water and dust resistance.

For the camera, Samsung specifies a triple rear system: a 12MP wide sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP telephoto offering 3x hybrid optic zoom. It's a well-rounded set for everyday shooting, low light and moderate zoom, without the periscope hardware found on the Ultra.

UK stock typically runs the Exynos 990 chipset with 8GB or 12GB of RAM — plenty for browsing, social media, streaming and most games. Samsung specifies a 4000mAh battery with 25W wired fast charging. The S20 was sold in both 5G and 4G-only configurations depending on market and network; this isn't specified per unit on our listing, so if 5G is essential to you, check Samsung's official specifications for your exact model or contact us to confirm before ordering. The Tech Gadgets currently lists the S20 in 128GB storage, unlocked, across Cosmic Gray, Cloud White, Cloud Blue, Cloud Pink and Aura Red — check the product page for today's price.

Galaxy S20+

The Galaxy S20+ takes the same core formula as the S20 and stretches it onto a larger 6.7-inch display, while adding a dedicated Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth sensor for better portrait separation. Samsung specifies the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel technology at QHD+ resolution and 120Hz, in the same glass-and-aluminium construction, with IP68 resistance.

The rear camera array is a quad setup: 12MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 64MP telephoto with 3x hybrid optic zoom, plus the ToF sensor for depth data. It's a genuinely useful addition for portrait mode shots specifically, rather than a general zoom upgrade.

UK stock typically ships with the Exynos 990 chipset and 8GB or 12GB RAM. Samsung specifies a larger 4500mAh battery with 25W wired charging to power the bigger screen. As with the standard S20, the S20+ was sold in both 5G and 4G-only variants depending on market — check Samsung's official specifications or contact us to confirm the exact model if this matters to you. The Tech Gadgets currently lists the S20+ in 128GB storage, unlocked, across Cosmic Black, Cosmic Gray, Cloud Blue, Cloud White and Aura Blue — check the product page for today's price.

Galaxy S20 Ultra

The Galaxy S20 Ultra was Samsung's flagship statement piece for 2020: the biggest screen, the biggest battery, and by far the most ambitious camera hardware in the range. Samsung specifies a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at QHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate — one of the largest screens Samsung has put on a phone.

The headline feature is the camera. Samsung specifies a 108MP wide sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, a 48MP periscope telephoto lens, and a ToF depth sensor. Samsung's own figures describe the telephoto as offering 10x "Hybrid Optic Zoom" and up to 100x digital "Space Zoom." It's worth being precise about what that actually means: the 10x figure is a hybrid result combining the periscope lens's native reach with in-sensor cropping and processing to stay largely lossless, not a pure 10x optical lens — the underlying optical zoom is lower, boosted by the 48MP sensor's resolution. Beyond that, the 100x figure is purely digital zoom, and image quality drops off noticeably at the far end of that range, as you'd expect from any digital zoom. Within roughly 10x, though, it's genuinely one of the strongest zoom cameras in this whole guide series.

UK stock typically runs the Exynos 990 chipset with 12GB or 16GB RAM. Samsung specifies a 5000mAh battery with 45W wired fast charging — the fastest-charging and longest-lasting battery of the four. The S20 Ultra was also sold in 5G and 4G-only configurations depending on market; check Samsung's official specifications or contact us to confirm your exact unit if 5G matters to you. The Tech Gadgets currently lists the S20 Ultra in 128GB and 256GB storage, unlocked, across Cosmic Black, Cosmic Gray and Cloud White — check the product page for today's price.

Want the current-generation Ultra instead? Our refurbished Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the direct modern successor to this phone — same Ultra-tier positioning, but with a titanium frame, a considerably longer periscope camera system, Galaxy AI features and a much newer chipset. It's a natural upgrade path if the S20 Ultra's zoom camera is what drew you to this page in the first place.

Galaxy S20 FE

The Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) was Samsung's answer to buyers who wanted the core S20 experience without the S20 Ultra's price tag or excess. Samsung specifies a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display at FHD+ resolution with the same 120Hz refresh rate as the rest of the range, though it drops down from QHD+ to FHD+ resolution to hit a lower price point — in practice, the difference is hard to notice on a phone-sized screen.

Build-wise, most FE colourways use a plastic polycarbonate back rather than glass, which makes the phone lighter and generally more resistant to everyday knocks and scuffs, at the cost of a slightly less premium feel in the hand. It still carries IP68 water and dust resistance.

For the camera, Samsung specifies a triple rear system: 12MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto offering 3x hybrid optic zoom — a practical, everyday-focused set rather than a specialist zoom camera. UK stock typically ships with the Exynos 990 chipset and 6GB or 8GB RAM. Samsung sold the FE in both 5G and 4G-only variants, and depending on region, the 5G models used a Snapdragon 865 chipset rather than Exynos 990 — our current listing shows Exynos 990 units, so if the specific chipset or 5G support matters to you, check Samsung's official specifications or contact us to confirm the exact model before ordering. Samsung specifies a 4500mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The Tech Gadgets currently lists the S20 FE in 128GB and 256GB storage, unlocked, across Cloud Navy, Cloud Red, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud White and Cloud Orange — check the product page for today's price.

Galaxy S20 vs S20 FE

These two sit closest together on price, so the comparison matters. The standard S20 has the sharper QHD+ display resolution, a glass back instead of polycarbonate, and a higher-resolution 64MP telephoto sensor versus the FE's 8MP telephoto — both offer roughly 3x hybrid optic zoom, but the S20's sensor captures more detail within that range. The FE counters with a larger 4500mAh battery (versus the S20's 4000mAh), a bigger 6.5-inch screen, and a lower starting price at The Tech Gadgets. If battery life and price matter more than camera resolution and screen sharpness, go FE. If you want the sharper display and stronger telephoto camera and don't mind paying a little more, go standard S20.

Galaxy S20+ vs Galaxy S20 Ultra

The gap here is bigger than it looks on paper. Both share the same QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel technology and 120Hz refresh rate, and both add a ToF depth sensor over the standard S20. But the Ultra jumps to a 6.9-inch screen versus the S20+'s 6.7-inch, a much larger 108MP main sensor versus 12MP, a periscope 48MP telephoto with genuine 10x hybrid zoom versus the S20+'s 64MP telephoto at 3x, a bigger 5000mAh battery versus 4500mAh, and faster 45W charging versus 25W. All of that comes at a real cost in size, weight and price. If you specifically want long-range zoom and the biggest battery in the range, the Ultra earns its premium. If you want a large, capable phone without the Ultra's bulk, the S20+ is the more comfortable everyday choice.

Best Camera?

For raw zoom range, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the clear winner — its periscope telephoto offers a genuinely useful 10x hybrid optic zoom, well beyond anything else in this range. But it's worth being honest about the marketing: Samsung's "100x Space Zoom" figure is a purely digital zoom claim, and image quality at that extreme is soft and noisy, useful more as a novelty than a reliable shooting mode. Within its 10x hybrid range, though, the Ultra's zoom is genuinely strong, and its 108MP main sensor gives it more cropping headroom than any other model here.

For general everyday photography — wide shots, ultra-wide, low light — the standard S20 and S20+ perform very similarly to each other and to the Ultra's main camera, since they share the same core sensor generation. The S20+ has a slight edge for portraits thanks to its ToF depth sensor. The S20 FE's 8MP telephoto is the weakest zoom camera of the four on paper, but its wide and ultra-wide cameras are perfectly capable for everyday shooting, and most buyers who pick the FE are prioritising value over zoom range anyway.

Storage Size?

The Tech Gadgets currently lists 128GB as the entry point across all four models, with 256GB also available on the S20 Ultra and S20 FE. Use this rough framework to decide:

• 128GB — comfortable for most users: photos, apps, streaming (rather than downloading), messaging and social media. This is enough for the vast majority of buyers.
• 256GB — worth the extra cost if you shoot a lot of photos and video locally (particularly on the Ultra's 108MP sensor, where full-resolution files add up quickly), download music or podcasts for offline use, or install a large number of apps and games you don't want to manage storage around.

None of these phones have a microSD card slot for expandable storage on the UK variants listed here, so it's worth erring slightly higher than you think you need if you're a heavy photographer or media hoarder.

What Does Refurbished Mean?

Every phone sold by The Tech Gadgets is a previously owned device that has been professionally tested, functionally verified, and cosmetically graded before being resold — never a new, sealed unit. Refurbished is different from "used" in that a refurbished phone has been through a formal testing and grading process to confirm the core hardware (screen, cameras, buttons, charging, connectivity, battery function) works correctly before it's listed for sale. It's also different from a factory-second or open-box new phone: these are second-hand devices that have had a working life before being resold.

Conditions Explained

The Tech Gadgets grades every device into one of four cosmetic condition tiers: Like New, Excellent, Very Good or Fair. We don't publish the exact grading criteria for each tier on this page, so if the precise cosmetic difference between grades matters to your purchase decision — for example, you want to know exactly what "Very Good" looks like versus "Excellent" — contact us at info@thetechgadgets.co.uk or WhatsApp +44 7563 734444 before ordering, and we'll talk you through it. Whichever grade you choose, functional testing and our 12-month warranty apply equally.

Are They Unlocked?

Yes — every S20-series phone sold by The Tech Gadgets is SIM-free and fully unlocked. That means you can use any UK network SIM, including EE, O2, Vodafone and Three, along with any MVNO that runs on their infrastructure (such as Giffgaff, Tesco Mobile, Sky Mobile, VOXI, Smarty, iD Mobile and similar). There's no network-locking to worry about and nothing to unlock yourself before use.

What's Included?

Box contents are not confirmed on our product pages for this generation, and they can vary by unit and condition grade — some units may include a cable, others may be phone-only, in keeping with how this era of phone was originally sold (Samsung had already started removing in-box chargers by the time later S20-era stock was refurbished). If a charger, cable or specific accessory is essential to your purchase, contact us at info@thetechgadgets.co.uk or WhatsApp +44 7563 734444 before ordering to confirm exactly what will arrive with your unit.

Battery Health?

Battery health percentage is not published on our product pages for this generation, and given these phones are now five to six years old, it's a fair question to ask before buying. Battery wear is also specifically excluded from our 12-month warranty, along with physical, water and electrical/short-circuit damage — the warranty covers manufacturing defects and functional faults only. If battery health is important to your decision (for example, if you're planning to use the phone heavily away from a charger), contact us at info@thetechgadgets.co.uk or WhatsApp +44 7563 734444 before ordering and we'll confirm what we can about the specific unit.

Still Worth Buying in 2026?

We want to be straight with you here rather than oversell it. Samsung's major Android version updates for the S20 series stopped at Android 13 / One UI 5.1, and the extended run of quarterly security patches Samsung provided beyond the original support window has now also concluded. In practical terms, that means these phones will not receive a new version of Android, and they are no longer getting regular security patches from Samsung. That's a real consideration if you handle sensitive data on your phone or want the very latest OS features and app compatibility for years to come.

What you do still get is genuinely strong 2020-era flagship hardware: 120Hz AMOLED displays, capable cameras (particularly on the Ultra), IP68 water resistance, and — refurbished and tested — a working phone at a fraction of current flagship pricing. For a second phone, a phone for a child or older relative, a spare travel handset, a gift on a budget, or simply a reliable daily driver for someone who mainly texts, browses and streams, the S20 series still does a genuinely good job in 2026. If you specifically need the newest Android version, ongoing security patches, or you handle sensitive work data on your personal phone, we'd point you towards a newer generation instead — see the "want something newer?" links below.

Why Refurbished Instead of New?

At this point in the S20's life, "new" isn't really an option anyway — Samsung stopped manufacturing this generation years ago, so any S20-series phone you buy today will be either old new-old-stock, used, or refurbished. Buying refurbished from a specialist like The Tech Gadgets means the phone has been functionally tested before it reaches you, it's graded honestly by cosmetic condition so you know roughly what to expect, it's backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and functional faults, and you have 30 days to return it if it's not right for you. That's a meaningfully safer way to buy a five-to-six-year-old phone than picking one up from an unverified private listing with no testing and no comeback if something's wrong.

How Much Does It Cost?

At The Tech Gadgets, the Galaxy S20 FE has the lowest starting price and the Galaxy S20 Ultra the highest, with the standard S20 and S20+ sitting in between. Exact pricing depends on the colour, storage size and condition grade you choose — Like New costs the most, then Excellent, then Very Good, and Fair is the cheapest — and stock (and therefore price) can change, so always check the live listing rather than relying on a screenshot or a price you saw elsewhere:

Buying Check

Before you check out, run through this quick list:

• Confirm the exact model — S20, S20+, S20 Ultra or S20 FE — you actually want, not just the price you saw.
• Decide your minimum acceptable condition grade (Like New, Excellent, Very Good or Fair) and check it's currently in stock for your chosen colour and storage.
• Confirm storage size against how you actually use a phone — 128GB for most people, 256GB for heavy photo/video use.
• If 5G support is essential, contact us to confirm the exact variant before ordering — it isn't specified per unit on the listing.
• If battery health, box contents, or exact cosmetic grading detail matter to you, ask before you buy rather than after.
• Check your SIM is a nano-SIM or that your provider can issue one — these phones use nano-SIM.
• Read our warranty policy and refund policy so you know what's covered.
• Have your delivery address and payment ready — orders before 3pm Monday to Friday go out same day.

Common Mistakes

• Assuming all four models have the same camera. The Ultra's periscope zoom and 108MP sensor are a genuine step up from the S20, S20+ and FE — don't buy the cheapest model expecting Ultra-level zoom.
• Confusing "10x optical zoom" with true optical zoom. Samsung's 10x figure on the Ultra is a hybrid result, not a pure optical lens — useful to know if zoom quality is a priority.
• Expecting the 100x Space Zoom to produce sharp photos. It's a digital zoom feature and quality drops noticeably at the extreme end.
• Assuming these phones still get Android updates. Major updates ended at Android 13 / One UI 5.1, and extended security patches have also now ended.
• Not checking 5G support before ordering if it's essential to you — it isn't specified per unit on our listings.
• Assuming a charger is included. Box contents aren't confirmed on this page — check with us first if that matters.
• Not asking about battery health before ordering, especially given the age of this generation.
• Forgetting that battery wear isn't covered by the warranty. Our 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects and functional faults, not battery degradation, physical damage, water damage or electrical/short-circuit damage.
• Buying based on storage assumptions. Not every model or colour is available in every storage tier — check the live listing.
• Assuming the S20 FE is a "downgrade" across the board. It has a larger battery than the standard S20 and a bigger screen — it's a different trade-off, not simply worse.
• Ignoring condition grade availability. Popular grades and colours can sell out — if your first choice isn't listed, contact us rather than assuming it's unavailable everywhere.
• Not reading the returns process before ordering. You have 30 days from delivery, but you need to contact us before sending anything back.
• Treating this as a "buy for the next five years" purchase. Given where these phones are in their software lifecycle, they suit a defined use case (budget daily driver, second phone, gift) better than a long-term primary phone for someone who needs ongoing security updates.

FAQ

Is the Samsung Galaxy S20 series still worth buying in 2026?

For budget-conscious buyers who want a smooth 120Hz flagship experience and don't need the latest Android version or ongoing security patches, yes. Samsung's major update support has ended for this generation, so it suits a second phone, budget daily driver or gift more than a long-term primary device for sensitive use.

What's the difference between the Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra and S20 FE?

Screen size, camera hardware, battery capacity and price, broadly in that order: the FE is the most affordable and best value, the S20 is the most compact, the S20+ adds screen size and a portrait depth sensor, and the Ultra has the biggest screen, the longest zoom range and the largest battery.

Are these phones new or refurbished?

All four models are refurbished, never new. Each unit is professionally tested and graded into one of four cosmetic condition tiers before resale.

Are the Galaxy S20-series phones unlocked?

Yes, every unit is SIM-free and unlocked, compatible with EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and any UK MVNO running on their networks.

Do these phones support 5G?

Samsung sold the S20 series in both 5G and 4G-only configurations depending on market. This isn't specified per unit on our listings, so if 5G is essential, check Samsung's official specifications for your exact model or contact us before ordering.

What condition grades are available?

Like New, Excellent, Very Good and Fair. Exact grading criteria per tier aren't published on our product pages — contact us if you'd like more detail before choosing.

What's the battery health on these units?

Not confirmed on our product pages. Contact The Tech Gadgets before ordering if battery health is important to your decision — and note that battery wear isn't covered by our 12-month warranty.

Does the phone come with a charger and cable?

Box contents aren't confirmed on this page and can vary. Contact us before ordering if specific accessories matter to you.

What warranty do these phones come with?

A 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and functional faults. It excludes battery wear, physical damage, water damage and electrical/short-circuit damage. Full details are on our warranty policy page.

What's the return policy?

30 days from delivery. Contact us before sending anything back — see our refund policy for full terms.

How fast is delivery?

Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day, typically arriving the next working day.

Which Galaxy S20 model has the best camera?

The Galaxy S20 Ultra, thanks to its 108MP main sensor and 48MP periscope telephoto offering a genuine 10x hybrid optic zoom. Its "100x Space Zoom" is digital and loses quality at the extreme end.

Is the Galaxy S20 Ultra's 100x zoom actually usable?

Within roughly 10x it's genuinely strong thanks to Samsung's hybrid optic zoom approach. Beyond that, up to the full 100x, it's a digital zoom feature and image quality drops off noticeably — treat it as a novelty rather than a reliable shooting mode.

How much storage do I need?

128GB comfortably covers most everyday use. Consider 256GB (available on the S20 Ultra and S20 FE) if you shoot a lot of photos or video, especially on the Ultra's high-resolution 108MP sensor, or keep a large media library offline.

Do these phones still get software updates?

No new Android versions — the S20 series' last major update was Android 13 / One UI 5.1. Samsung's extended security patch support for the generation has also now ended.

What's the difference between the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 FE?

The standard S20 has a sharper QHD+ display, a glass back and a higher-resolution telephoto sensor. The FE has a larger battery, a bigger screen, and a lower starting price. See our full comparison above.

Can I use these phones on EE, O2, Vodafone or Three?

Yes — all units are fully unlocked and compatible with every major UK network and MVNO.

Are there newer Samsung refurbished guides available?

Yes — see our guides to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy S25 series if you want more recent hardware and longer remaining software support. If it's specifically the Ultra-tier camera and zoom you're after, our refurbished Galaxy S24 Ultra is the direct current-generation equivalent of the S20 Ultra.
