Update 2/21: The Galaxy S20 is now available for preorder. Check out the best deals here.
Samsung's new series of S20 phones go up for preorder this week, and if you plan on buying one, you already know all about the giant screens, eye-popping cameras, and gorgeous design (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3526433/samsung-galaxy-s20-ultra-hands-on.html). But with preorders set to begin tomorrow, there are a few features deep down on the list that you might not have noticed:

The smallest model only supports the sub-6GHz spectrum while the S20+ and S20 Ultra can switch between sub-6GHz and mmWave. That might not be an issue for T-Mobile subscribers, but Verizon buyers will basically have a 4G phone, as the carrier hasn’t yet switched on its sub-6 GHz network. Verizon says a mmWave version of the S20 will be launching in the second quarter, but we don’t know whether it will carry a higher price tag.
