Why? Well, it is because the smallest of the Galaxy S20 models does not support mmWave 5G networks, only sub-6GHz 5G networks. mmWave 5G support requires two discrete antenna modules around the frame of a device, and the Galaxy S20 apparently didn't have enough space inside to accommodate those antennas. Verizon says that it will launch a Galaxy S20 model that supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks in Q2 2020, though Samsung has not said anything about such a variant being in the works.
As far as the Galaxy S20+ and S20 Ultra are concerned, both handsets support mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks and will be up for pre-order from Verizon starting February 21 and available in-store from March 6. Pricing for the S20+ will start at $49.99 per month for the carrier's 24-month payment plan and at $58.33 for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Verizon has also revealed Galaxy S20 pricing even though it's not launching that model right now: it will cost $41.66 per month.
Verizon hasn't revealed the prices for those who want to buy the phones outright, but they are likely to cost the same as the unlocked models: $999 for the Galaxy S20, $1,199 for the Galaxy S20+, and $1,399 for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. These prices are for the base variants with 128GB of storage, all of which come with 12GB of RAM.
