If you have decided on the Samsung Galaxy S20 for your new mobile phone, you are undoubtedly looking for some extras that can protect the elegant appearance of the device or get more out of your device with numerous functions. There are a multitude of options for anyone looking to outfit their phone. As a result, it can be difficult to find specific items that are worth buying.
Digital Trends offers discreet summaries for popular items like the best Galaxy S20 cases or the best S20 Ultra screen protectors. We are therefore looking a little further away for alternative accessories. From the car holder to the smartwatch and beyond, these are the best accessories for your Galaxy S20, S20 Plus or S20 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Buds +
In addition to the new Galaxy S20 family, the Samsung Galaxy Buds + was introduced, which offers wireless music streaming, unbeatable battery life and appealing sound. This competitor to Apple's all-conquering AirPods could be the ideal choice for Samsung phone owners. In some markets, Samsung is offering free Galaxy Buds + with pre-orders for the Galaxy S20 Plus or S20 Ultra. If you've gone for the regular S20 or missed the deal, the Galaxy Buds + are still worth considering and offer a bigger upgrade over the included USB-C AKG headphones.
Fiora wireless car charger
The Fiora is a fully adjustable car mount that you can use to hold your Galaxy S20 or S20 Plus while you drive - although the S20 Ultra may be a bit too big and heavy. It supports Qi wireless charging up to 15W and comes with a Quick Charge 3.0 adapter that plugs into your car's power outlet, as well as a USB-A to USB-C cable that allows it can be connected. The coolest feature is the auto-closing arms that gently close to keep your phone in place. The touch buttons on either side of the cradle will glow green when plugged in and powered, and blue when the phone is wirelessly charging. Simply tapping either button will open your arms so you can remove your phone. Remember that the mount uses electricity, so you should start the car before using your phone. The bracket comes with a standard dash or window suction cup, CD player bracket, and a vent clip.
Cluvox USB-C fast charging kit
Charge your S20 up to four times faster with the Cluvix USB quick charge kit - either at home or in the car. The company promises to charge from zero to 55% in about 30 minutes. It's ETL certified to support 5V-3A, 9V-2A, and 12V-1.5A output and automatically detect which device you have for the correct charging speed. The car charger has a compact design and is multi-voltage compatible with a 100-240 volt 50/60 Hz input for international travel. It comes with a sturdy 3.3-foot USB-C power cord.
Spigen Camera Lens screen protector
While it is not uncommon for cell phone owners to protect the body and screen of their device, Spigen goes a step further and also offers the option of shielding the camera lens of your Galaxy S20 device so your shots always look their best. The lens protectors are supplied in a pack of 2 made of tempered premium glass and are designed for an inconspicuous, flat look without raised bezels. An additional anti-fingerprint coating ensures that the lens remains smear-free. It is compatible with all Spigen cases.
Anker Powerline II cable
It's always convenient to have a spare cable or two, but not all cables are created equal. Anker's Powerline II is a three-foot USB-C to USB-C cable that can deliver up to 100W of power, supports speeds of up to 10Gbps for data transfer and, for security reasons, supports USB Is IF certified. This should cover all of your charging and data transferring needs and comes with Anker's lifetime warranty so you can easily get a replacement cable if something goes wrong.
Samsung 45W charger
Whichever S20 model you choose, you will receive a 25W Samsung charger and cable in the box that will allow you to charge your S20 or S20 Plus at top speed. However, if you bought the S20 Ultra, you can charge a little faster with the right kit. This charger offers the fastest charging speed your S20 Ultra allows and delivers up to 45 watts of power. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable that can handle up to 45W. Before you buy, however, keep in mind that your S20 Ultra will only charge at maximum speed when the battery is almost empty and that it will slow down as the battery fills up. Normally we would recommend a cheaper quick charger, but Samsung needs PPS (Programmable Power Supply) support which most chargers don't have. If you are determined to hit the top speed for the S20 Ultra, this is the charger you need. However, for most people, it won't be worth the price.
Elecjet PowerPie Power Bank
Anyone suffering from battery fear will love this portable charger as it has an impressive 20,000 mAh capacity. The USB-C port supports the Power Delivery standard and can deliver up to 45 W. There is also a USB-A port that can deliver up to 18W. This means that the Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus are charged at maximum speed, but the slightly darker PPS (Programmable Power Supply) standard is also supported, so that the S20 Ultra can also be charged at full speed. It can charge two devices at the same time and also supports pass-through charging, so you can charge it through the USB-C port and charge another device through the USB-A port at the same time.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
This smartwatch is the perfect companion for your Samsung smartphone. It's available in two sizes (40mm or 44mm), has a vivid Super AMOLED screen, and runs on Samsung's Tizen software. There's a clever rotating digital bezel and all the fitness tracking features you could want, including a heart rate monitor, built-in GPS, automatic exercise detection, and even a built-in trainer. It also has an IP68 rating so water or sweat is not a problem. It offers 4 GB of storage space for music and supports a number of useful apps. It is no coincidence that the Galaxy Watch Active 2 is also our first choice for Android phone owners who are looking for the best smartwatch.
SanDisk 128 GB Extreme MicroSD card
With 128GB of storage as standard, you get a decent amount of storage no matter which S20 you choose. However, all of them support expansion of up to 1TB via a microSD card. Our recommended card doubles your storage space, adds another 128GB, and is rated A2 for app performance. This means that it supports a random read-input-output access per second (IOPS) of 4,000 and a write IOPS of 2,000. This makes it ideal for opening apps quickly and processing tasks. It also offers read speeds of up to 160 MB / s and write speeds of up to 90 MB / s. SanDisk offers this card in other sizes including 256GB, 512GB, and even 1TB. Whichever capacity you choose, it comes with a handy adapter for connecting and transferring to and from your PC or laptop.
Samsung wireless charging stand
Samsung's wireless charging stand supports the company's Fast Charge 2.0 standard, meaning it can deliver up to 15W for charging at its maximum wireless charging speed. It's a stand, so it's great for your desktop and can be used to prop your S20 in either portrait or landscape orientation - a good angle for watching a movie or hands-free video calls. There is a fan inside and a green LED light below. Both can be turned off via your phone. So if you use them on the bedside table, you can turn them off during sleep hours. It also comes with a 25W charger and USB-C cable. You can get decent wireless chargers for less, but this is a compelling mix of features.
