I am contemplating to jump the gun from S20 Ultra to Note 20 Ultra, pending camera reviews and comparison.
Any one else?
Any news on launch/prices etc?

I have already decided to jump ship a month back. I have convinced myself on the smaller battery, smaller screen compared to S20 Ultra, 120hz FHD+.
But yesterday's news on exynos 990 is a little upsetting and making me look towards iPhone 12 in Sept.
Price should be same as S20U. around 90k for 12/128GB. Launch date 21st Aug.
Yeah I am look at maybe going to the iPhone 12
I've zero interest in an Exynos 990 powered "flagship" for late 2020.
Unless they release a Snapdragon version in India, Note 20 can't be a day 1 purchase like all the previous Samsung devices. After all these years, Samsung's image processing sadly hasn't improved, the skin tones and fine details still look smeared.. am hoping Nokia can release a proper flagship this year..else, looking out for Asus ZenFone 7 Pro to see if that's a better alternative. This year, I can't waste money on another Samsung device if the image processing and Exynos crap still continue.
Z fold 2 also is a viable option...which ll be released with Snapdragon SoC in India. But day to day usage with a very sensitive screen and kids around becomes tough to choose.
I miss the boxier design of the Note 10 plus.
Now that exynos is confirmed, hoping Samsung has done some improvements to match the 865.
Happy that the base storage is 256GB and the frame is stainless steel.
Launching tomorrow...excited and I'm getting it.
Looking forward to
1. Overall improved camera and better zoom quality
2. Spen with 9ms response time
3. LTPO dynamic 2X display
4. Wireless DeX
5. Better heat/battery management
6. Mystic Bronze brushed corning gorilla glass 7
All these should definitely make it a better experience from S20 Ultra

No, just the 3rd offer in case you are not eligible for the other 2.
1,04,999 is the actual cost.
Ultra is coming in 5G.
One disappointment with the prebook offer is...currently the 10k estore credit cannot be used on Galaxy Watch 3 45mm.

I will have to wait for the launch.. i cannot use an iPhone as my daily driver
Also, whats this confusion about 128/256GB.. i thought Ultra will start with 256GB

In India, Note 20 Ultra 5G comes in just 1 variant that is 256GB and 2 colors (Bronze and Black, no white )
As for the recycledevice website, it would be my first experience with it. Cashify also quotes 55k only.
Edit: I was expecting the price to be lesser than S20 Ultra, but OnePlus is to be blamed here, they hiked the price and marketed 8 Pro as 5G device letting Samsung follow suit.

S6 Edge could cost £100 more than the traditional form factor coming in at £649 SIM free according to reports. No conformation the memory capacity. Would you pay that much?

Yes i will......If i do it ..i`ll do it right......the EDGE rocks..:fingers-crossed:
Official prices from Samsung Spain are frightening! € 1049 for a 128gb Edge! I do like the green though. Unusual colour.
Samsung Spain Shop
PS Also showing on Amazon.es at the same price.
On the Samsung UK website the edge only comes in 64gb and 128gb versions so it's probably going to be £649 for the 64gb version.

Now I'm a big phone geek, but i couldn't justify £684 on a phone. I wonder if this high price point is going to hold back the popularity of this phone. It, any any other phone is just not worth that kind of money.
yes in Canada too, more than 1000CAD for the 128Gb
prices are high for this phone

Oh absolutely. If they are trying to get an extremely premium price for it, Apple could swoop in and drop the price of the iPhone 6 to draw people away. I really want the edge but I'm having a hard time justifying that much of a price jump over the standard S6.

Seems to me that, if it's non expandable, Samsung have got to make the larger sizes generally available, unlike previous models.

Sorry, I was speaking of the S6 in general. While the edge is awesome, the novelty isn't worth $150 extra over a standard S6.. (If the pricing howipig posted is correct) but maybe that's just me. I REALLY want one but anything over $75-100 USD more than the standard S6 isn't worth it.
If they do it like they did the note Edge
Regular 32gb S6 will be about $699
S6 Edge 32gb will be about $799
Which are the first 20 or more countries that will be getting the Galaxy S6 Edge is what i am looking for
Mobile fun has the prices up already. There very costly and as much as I want one its not going to be an immediate purchase. 500 quid seems an acceptable amount for a phone, once you go past that it's getting a little silly.
Sure I have a note 4 but I got it on contract so I didn't really notice I paid for it.
Apple never lowers their prices even when the new model is due in a couple of weeks. Yet you see the retailers selling them at a discount because they have to meet sales numbers to Apple as part of their contract. The Carriers can lower the on contract price for the phones 4-6 months out and then again when we draw closer to a new model to clear inventory.
My only question is what are the capacities the US Carriers are going to offer, I want 128GB Edge, color is negotiable.
I have the t mobile jump plan, so I'm my phone bill will only jump up about 15 dollars more a month than it is now. Only have to pay that for a year or until I pay half the phone off then jump again next March or April. I'm probably getting the black 64 or 128 gb in black. Cheers everyone!

Nice. Not bad at all. Want the 64GB one in Gold but I'll be upgrading with EE so hopefully I can get a decent deal as I've been with them for 10 years and got a great upgrade last year. Wonder when we'll start seeing the 128gb ones.
Should I sell My S8+ for the 8GB Ram Version of The Oneplus 5.... Pros and Cons?
I'm returning my S8+ that I have via JOD and getting the OP5 8GB model.
Pros.... you might get some of your money back even after buying it. The S8+ dropped in value recently its already down 120 or 150 dollars at my local carriers in my town. If you are thinking about selling it, then sell it. Its only going to go down. Samsung devices dont retain value that well. They sorta drop to the 200 dollar range and stay there forever. You can already get an S7 Edge for 240 dollars..... So..... i hope that alone speaks enough to you. OnePlus devices retain value very nicely. The oneplus one is still 220 dollars in most places. the 2 is like 240 the X is probably 200 somewhere i dont think many people care about that one. and the 3 is still in the mid 300 dollar range. Like 330-350. The 3t is still almost 400 dollars on places like swappa. Keep seeing 385 as the average number.
If you want my opinion rather than just some statements then I would say yes absolutely sell it now. The 835 is very underutilized on the S8+ anyway and most samsung phones are bloated messes. What even is bixby....?
Yeah, i'm concidering that also

I wouldn't.
I still have the oneplus 3, and I still wouldn't upgrade. The only this you're getting is an upgrade CPU and software support.
I'm in the same boat. With the price hike its no longer clear if this a good buy. Specially since the oneplus 5 comes with no IP rating and a 1080p screen. In Canada the oneplus 5 is going to be 680 dollars delivered. The S8 can be found for 700. The pixel XL which has a better camera and older chip is being sold for 600 here . So I cant really consider the oneplus 5 a no brainier.

What are you talking about dude? Galaxy S8 is $1035 CAD without tax, and with tax its $1169.55 (HST 13%). Pixel XL is $949.00 (sale price right now; regular $1049.00) CAD without tax, and with tax its $1072.37.
Lol, where did you get S8 to be $700 and Pixel XL $600 CAD? Tell me please. And I am asking outright price . Please post correct information.
Also, S8 can't be rooted. So much useless bloatware. Especially bixby button.
OP5 is better, op. If you can get the money back you spent on S8 or if its a bit low, then go for it.

Why the heck would you want a OP5? A 1080 screen, no OIS and from the reviews so far an avarage camera, no SD card slot, no waterproofing etc. It's a mid range avarage and fairly ugly phone.

I also forgot the S8 has an HDR display. YouTube HDR looks stunning on it.
Less bezel is more, which is why I'd personally stick to the S8. Really hoped OP5 would go in a similar direction.
Guys,
Who all are getting the S20+?
Is there any indication on the launch date and availability date? Also, which all variants will arrive to India?
Unpack event is on 11th Feb if the strong rumors turn into reality.
I'm curious whether India would get the Snapdragon variants or not.... as it might happen this time around.
Eying on the "Ultra", hope in reality it makes sense getting one and not just for namesake compared to the S20 & S20 Plus!
I really wish for Samsung Flagships to have "Snapdragon" processor in India. Been using Galaxy Series Flagships for the last 4 years and I always find other company flagships with Snapdragon/Bionic to be better in Gaming Performance & Gcam Support.
With the rise of Mobile Gaming, it's a perfect time for Samsung to offer Snapdragon variants in India. I don't know for others but I am going to switch to a different company for my next phone if Galaxy S20 Series doesn't have a Snapdragon offering in India
Anyone planning to get S20+ or the ultra?, I am thinking about getting the S20+
US pricing are expected:
S20 : 999$
S20+ 1199$
S20 Ultra: 1399$
These are the Prices for 5G Models, we will probably see the 4G versions except the Ultra and hence price would be lowered compared to these.
Shipping is expected on March 6th.

I'd get the Ultra if they launch it in India.
Disappointed,
Ultra with no curved screen, same FP sensor, 120hz restricted to FHD+, only 5x optical zoom(rumors said 10x) and finally Exynos for India.
Premium price they pay in the US is for the 5G aspect which is kinda acceptable, in India its gonna be a loot if they maintain the same pricing.
It now looks like a A series phone.
My Note 10+ looks premium still, might still buy it if Samsung has improved their image processing with their new sensor else wait for a more polished Note 20.
Samples of s20 plus looks average at best.

Does have a 10x Hybrid optical zoom.
Just called Samsung Opera house Bangalore, they say the price range is between 80k to 120k for new launch phones this month.
Looks like S20 is gonna start from 79,999/- and go all the way up to S20 Ultra 512GB or the Z flip at 1,19,999/- .......insane prices.
India launch date 18th or 19th Feb.

Sent by Samsung Cafe guy here in Bangalore. eSIM not really sure.
I have pre-ordered the s20 ultra which is available only in cosmic grey 12GB
I will go for it if I get a good trade in for my Note 10+.
RecycleDevice is showing 50k whereas Samsung guy says not more 44k for my old device.
They are yet to announce the upgrade cashback offer, expecting a usual 6k for upgrade :silly:
Looks like the Ultra version is a limited edition and will not be available post launch....got to know this when I went yesterday for another pre booking for my friend wer the Samsung guy refused to take a booking for ultra(may be a marketing gimmick)

Yup, but the Samsung docs say upto 10x lossless zoom (a combination of digital and image cropping) which should be fine.
By the look of the samples on Youtube...looks fine for me.
Using a Samsung galaxy s20 plus exynos version and very tempted by the oneplus 8 pro. My main concern though is the curved comers of the oneplus 8 pro as this is likely to make it difficult to hold the phone without accidental touch presses. Anyone else come from s20 line or considering coming from s20. What are your thoughts please especially now that the S20 line is coming down in price well second hand prices.

I preordered my OP8 pro 12/256 GB on April 15th, expected dispatch date is April 22nd (8/128 was sold out at the time I placed the preorder)
But now my Carrier has a special deal for S20 series, I can get S20+ (exynos) for around 715 euro on a 2 year contract. Ok, it is 8/128 GB version, but still it is 300 euro difference
My previous phone was S10+ (sold it last week) and I was pretty satisfied with it. I actually like OneUI and the possibility of rootless theming with Synergy
I'm undecided what to do now, whether to keep the preorder or to cancel it and take the S20+
important things for me as per priority order : camera, batt life, UI smoothness and theming..
how is your experience with S20+ ? camera, batt life etc ?

Phew that's a good deal buddy. My experience with my s20+ has been overall good. I don't really measure battery that much as I work from home so always have a charger. As for the camera I just take random pics and we all locked down in the UK so haven't been out to capture good pics. The experience overall has improved in terms of performance. I know they say the sd version is better compared to the exynos but have never used the sd so I cannot compare. The thing that worries me the most are the curved edges of the oneplus as they look really big and annoying. As I spend literally all day on my phone for work I would definitely find them hard to manage as most reviews keep on about them curves ?.
i have a s20u hk unlocked bootloader, probably going to return it once i get my op8 pro

Yeah it triggers Knox and you can't undo it.
I didn't go to Samsung any more because I am in the US and rootable Samsungs don't have newer US frequencies. My Tmo McLaren is rooted, so no more Samsungs over here.

ebay, and yeah i can return it, and don't care if the seller doesn't like it. he mislabeled the ad for the phone having 66\71 bands for LTE when it didn't.
I hate samsung, i should've never gone back, what a nightmare especially with their CSC bs !
I have S20 ultra and just got my OP8pro. I havent set it up yet but checked it littlebit and i already hate that it has more curved screen than S20 has. Especially when Samsung started to get rid of curved screens...
I've been a Samsung user for many years, upgraded my Note 9 to the S20 Ultra and didn't feel satisfied. Today I received my OP8Pro 12Gb version and so far I'm blown away. What a mighty device, it makes me smile from ear to ear.
Let's see how this will remain after using this beast as a daily driver for a longer period.
Ordered the ultra, didn't come, cancelled it. Ordered the 1+8pro on the 20th at 1530, came at 0950 on the 21st. Free bullets.
Phone is a beast

I'm in the UK.
I was very surprised tbh, impressive, three used DPD
I am, my S20+ is on eBay now and hopefully my 8 Pro arrives today, would have preferred the blue but not an option in the UK so green it is.
Exynos is a mess this year and the camera still cannot cope with any movement at all in a scene.
I come from a long line of curved screen phones with accidental touch input..
This phone is not like that... curves are not as drastic as are made to look like on reviews.. And palm rejection is excellent as well. . just my 2 cents Love my OP8P in blue.
Right, so, I had my P30 Pro, and wanted to change with something better. Well, it's not, yet. I' e ordered S20 ultra, mega disappointed (camera, battery life, everything), then sold it, and bought s20+, which is far better, but still, the camera is the worst I've ev9seen. Try this, with a tripod: night, no light at all, from nowhere, night mode on, Galaxy S10, Note10+, S20+. Well, the camera, from s10 is impressive! And I'll post images soon. P30 was, and still is an amazing phone, at least for camera.
Now, taking these info in fact, and bringing the advantages from op8 pro, you have the answer. Op8 pro is way better for less money.

Im considering this currently with a s20 ultra with SD processor, but consider OP 8 Pro just for the development capabilities as flashing kernels, roms, etc.
However with all the FP issue after unlock bootloader and doing all the customization options this phone would allow me to do it, im starting to doubt about making the change, im reading all the days this forum to see any updates regarding on those issues, because to keep it stock i would better stay with the s20 ultra.
Any thoughts?

No fingerprint issues that I've seen if you do everything correctly.
Even keeping it stock I would still go with the OP

What would be the correct steps in your thinking to just flash another kernel?
It would be my first OP so not able to compare between samsung vs OP, but if you do, what are the points that will make you go to the OP?

Exynos is a mess every year lol. Glad i sold my Exynos S20U 5G. OnePlus 8 pro is much better in every way..

I had the s20 ultra snapdragon version briefly. It was ok, but not much different from my note 10 plus. The OnePlus 8 pro is waaaaay better to me. Especially for the amount your paying $1500 vs $1000... OnePlus all day
OK Good people what did you order?
I went with the Ultra 256Gb Mystic White.
Bit disappointed at the lack of decent colours but it is what what it is.
So what did you order?
Just gotta wait til 21 August - Here we go again.
In Ireland I pre ordered the 256GB mystic bronze. Trading in my S20 Ultra towards it.
256GB in black here.
512gb bronze for me
I pre-ordered mine during the unpacked event. I am using the Samsung Upgrade Programme to upgrade from the Note10+ 5G. The process with Klarna and Samsung was very smooth. Getting the Black 512GB and chose the buds for the 'free' gift. They did not let me select a colour so I would assume they will send out the bronze ones as shown in the photo? Maybe they will send matching ones with the note colour that I chose.
There are some missing details here, but Samsung's UK website suggest that we are getting the Hybrid Dual SIM model. Which means 2 physical SIMs or 1 physical SIM and a microSD card, plus unlimited(?) eSIMs. It sounds great.
We are also missing the full band list for modem connectivity. It'll definitely work in the UK, but good to know as we are expecting more 5G bands to be used in the UK and perhaps travelling to other countries (yes, I know quite difficult in the current circumstances, but it might just happen).
ultra 256gb in white also ordered Watch 3 45mm in silver and 41mm in Bronze for the wife so nearly £2k spent
Where are people trading in their S20 Ultra? I tried Samsung direct, but its not in the listed devices for me?
It's on the trade in list on the Irish Samsung website. Just double check again.
Annual UK Note crowd I see I'm in! Note 20 Ultra ordered. Looking for a good carbon case.
Edit: and Watch 3
Note 20 ultra
Galaxy watch 3
Tab S7 plus
All arriving on 21st...going to be a busy day

Glad Someone got their email fine. I want to move to the note 20 but somehow Samsung has ****ed up my date for upgrading which is annoying some how.
I been upgrading to the new note since the Note 8 and been upgrading every august once it was announced at the unpacked event and this year some how my date had moved like under 2 months from when I got the note 10 (pre ordered on the 7th August through the upgrade program and gotten the phone on the 21st and according to their site for me bizarrely that equated to upgrade on the 30th September 2020).
The shop was useless and said it might arrive towards the end of August but can see I am up date with payments. I did post on the forum and one of the mods asked for my agreement number so they can look into it and hopefully they can resolve it as with the note 9 and 10 we originally had sweet fa on pre order bonuses and the one time they finally give something they had to **** up my date and stop me from doing my pre order I had always done in august.
The Camera I was more interested in getting the upgrade for but disappointed they kept their processor and the same one in the S20 and wish for the UK they went the SD 865+.

It seems like anyone selecting the ear buds as a gift will get the bronze colour by default. Oh well...

I got an email a few days before the event telling me that my window opens on the 5th of August. Then I ordered during the event. Got several emails to confirm the loan with Klarna and order with Samsung. Later in the evening I got an email reminding me about the window, which was probably automated as the confirmation email about the order from Samsung includes an item called 'Samsung Upgrade Welcome Back' and I had to answer questions about the condition of my current Note 10+ 5G (which was recognised automatically) while placing the order.

Usually I would of gotten an email saying your upgrade window is open but this year I put my agreement in and it said I have until 30th September which also one of the mods found odd. Just hope they get it sorted in time for me to upgrade.

Yup and we also get the exynos and we buy it knowing full well it will throttle and then we mourn. Us Brits are a special lot though aren't we and Sammy knows it ?.
Woo hoo. Just pre ordered my Note20 Ultra which is my first ever Note. I have been a big Android user since the HTC Magic, but my last Samsungs were S3 and Galaxy Nexus back in the day. Since then I have had every generation of the Nexuses and Pixels with a few Onepluses thrown in for good measure. This year however I just fancied something different but stacked with features so I'm returning to Samsung after 8 years away. Hope I made the right choice!

I jumped from the S3 to Note10+ 5G last year and I am really enjoying it, so also upgrading to Note20 Ultra 5G this year. In the meantime I was away from Android for years.
I'm sure it'll be a good experience for you.
