Along with the Wideline L1 certification, the M20 also has a Dolby Atmos support for sounds that aren’t coming out of its own speakers like for Bluetooth speakers and regular Headsets.

Samsung decided to give the M20 a Type-C port with quick charge support which is a huge step up. It comes with an In-Box 15W fast charger which according to Samsung provides “3 times faster charging”. FYI Samsung, nobody uses a 5W charger!
