Note 20 Ultra has much better reception than Note 10+ - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

So coming from the Note 5, 8, 9, and 10+, the reception on the Note 20 Ultra is outstanding. I did various tests of signal strength in dBm and speed tests. The Note 10+ has the worst reception of the bunch showing about 3-5 dBm worse than the Note 9 and 5-9 dBm worse the Note 20 Ultra. The Note 20 Ultra is also 30-60 Mbps faster in speed tests right next to the Note 10+. I'm not sure if these gains are attributed to the X55 modem, better antennas, or if Verizon is utilizing additional frequencies.
Out of all the improvements over the Note 10+, this is the most noticeable. I got download speeds of 220 Mbps next to a Note 10+ getting about 160 Mbps. 5G is not rolled out here yet. This is an impressive phone all around.

My note20 U5G is much the same as my note9 in Australia ?*

I got better speeds too compared to my Note 10 on the same 4G/4G+ network (Exynos - Europe)
Sent from nowhere over the air...

Better network reception than previous Galaxy devices and several other phones is the first thing I noticed in the N20U(Exynos) as well.

Once I read your thread, I had to see for myself. I still have my Note 10+ active on a line and did a comparison with the phones in the exact same places and yeah, the Note 20u is FAR better than the Note 10+, however, where I am located now, they both get pretty good reception, but the 20u is by far better.

Your 4G is 220Mbps...???

It was not covered much, yet the N20U does include a signal booster for 4G/5G

this signal booster something built in or is it something you have to enable?

You can't manually enable it as it's built in and hence already enabled- it's an amplifier attached to the modem, integrated into the chipset.

Can someone please install game "World of Tanks:Blitz" on this device and tell me performance in fps, in few cases like menu, combat, aim mode or something. tnx alot
wotblitz on note 3g is Okay.
fps around 40. but i think the graphics have been adjusted to not at the highest level
Just to add, since i've tested it on Redmi Note 4G it seems like same performance as on 3g (around 40fps mostly).

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S10's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Maybe s10 will have wifi 6 that is previous version had only 866 megabytes of speed whereas in wifi 6 has a speed upto 1.2 gigabytes. And has a more bandwidth coverage supports 2.4 and 5 gigahertz. :fingers-crossed:
WiFi 6 will be faster than a... speeding bullet!

Is it going to need a special router or access point or it would work with the ones I bought an year ago?

S9+ has way better wifi reception than S10. When I'm upstairs I reach 30-40mbps with S9 but only 4mbps with S10. Huge difference.
One advantage is S10 switches more quickly to 4G (lte) when signal strength is low.

My old S5 gets much better coverage and occasionally better speeds than the S10, but the S5 does have a slower link. Doesn't really matter when I can't even connect to my home Wi-Fi from 10 meters away when the S5 has good reception to the router.

This is the exact issue on all ONE Ui Devices. Strangely there has been no follow up from Sammobile and in my testing it has never been fixed on any One Ui device.
Based on different versions or generally weaker wifi signal? Could be different modems on snapdragon and exynos.. didn't check it.

I know this thread is old but this "problem" still exist.
I have the same device as you (s5 and s10) and my results are absolutely the same as yours.
this is very frustrating... I hope someday we can manage to get an fix about this .. magisky module or something.

No different to my S10 S10 plus or any other Samsung I've owned.
Perfect wifi throughout
Worst wifi receiver I've ever used
I come from a Note 2, perfect wifi signal receiver.
I decided to change after decades and bought an A71.
Good enough this phone concerning all but the wifi receiver. It is almost frustrating. While my wife's Hw Y7 and my children's old Samsungs do find the wifi signal at 2 dots I do not see any wifi network available even being in the same identical overrided position.
Very bad thing. Also thinking that if it is so poor receptabling for my safeness, while I'm in the same little space together with people with more dangerous devices I even do risk my health..
In few words: I do not appreciate this from Samsung.
I just bought this phone over the weekend, previous phone was Asus Zenfone 3. Wifi in my house and my parents house seems pretty similar, which is disappointing because I wasn't very happy with the Asus's wifi especially 5Ghz speeds. I did speedtests and ran wifi analyzer on both phones at various points in my house, the Asus typically had slightly better signal strength but similar speedtest result. I compared both against my wife's iPhone XR, that was significantly better in all tests. We have 300mbps internet and an AC3200 wifi router in a ~1500 sqft townhouse. The weakest point for wifi is my office because it's on the opposite corner of the house to the router. The midrange android phones were barely getting to 100mbps on either of my 5ghz networks while the iPhone was between 150-200mbps. When testing near the modem, the android phones would top out around 270mbps but the iphone would go over 300mbps for the duration of the test. On this basis, I am considering returning the phone as I've been working from home for the past 5 months and need my phone to have a strong connection.
it's because high end device have 2x2 WiFi (2 antennas) so the theoretical speed will be double (on 5ghz 867Mbps vs 433Mbps). mid range and cheap phones only have 1 antenna

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Google Pixel 5's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

Side by side with my Pixel 3XL I have the same poor 4G indoors and great 4G outdoors.
Nearest 5G signal is a good 5 miles away or so and haven't been able to test that yet

I've been working from home today and been out for a dog walk. No issues. Signal is poor in my new build but I'd say it's exactly the same as my pixel 3xl.
Only get 4g where i live, can't test 5G here
I have little or no signal compared to the same SIM in my Oneplus 6t. I was told by Google Support to change carriers to one that has 5G...
following, especially for posts comparing the 4XL vs the 5.
Mine is being a bit weird, there are 3 band 3 cells all within a 1 miles radius of my house and on all my previous recent phones they have use those and i have had strong signal but for some strange reason my Pixel 5 is handshaking with a band 20 cell that is absolutely miles and miles away
Returned the Pixel 5 after 20 days due to the phone not able to maintain 4G in my office building. H+ speed is not acceptable in 2020.
This is not a network issue as my Note 10 and Pixel 4 don't have this issue in my office.
So for me the Pixel 5 has very bad mobile reception. 0 star since I'm not able to watch video or steam audio, when I can do the same with phones released one year ago.
I have signal strength issues too. I had preinstalled 5g sim and still not as good signal strength as my old oneplus6t. It's not terrible but it's not great either. Will do further testing on the road.
I came from a Pixel 2 XL. I haven't noticed any difference either way.
I'm having problems with signal strength where I'm at too, major let down, I have 2 other devices that are older and they have much better reception than then the p5. IDK what to do at this point.

5g on this phone is trash
I have had this phone for over a month now. I have to say that the network speed on this phone is complete trash.
5G is worse then LTE on other phones.
Here is a screenshot of the S20 FE 5G next to a Tab A, Both from Tmobile, same room.
I disagree... Best antenna I've ever experienced. Beats out the pixel 3a xl, s8, v20, etc.
Speeds I achieved in rural WV...

I'm having an even more severe issue at 7.93 down and 0.21 upload. Making the phone almost unusable when not on wifi. Been troubleshooting with Sprint/T-Moble for a couple of weeks now.
Yeah I wish there was a way to lock out "5G" truly it's worse everyday speeds vs ny one plus 7 pro one Verizon. Not too happy about that at all. I'll stick with 4g lte+ over this slow fake 5g

it is fine for me it might be your ISP throttling your speed
look at this
my understanding as of this week is that there are 3 types of 5G connections / infrastructure. it looks like you are on a mmwave connection @isamahdi which gives the great speeds but requires you to be very close to a tower. the other two types are low band and mid band. low band gives much slower speeds (100 to 200 mbps) but travels much further and mid band is the half way house between the two extremes.
different networks are rolling different versions of 5G.
some people might receive rubbish speeds because the available bandwidth is split between all users until more towers are put up, bit like all being on one Wi-Fi network.
experiences will vary wildly depending on network types, distance and infrastructure work completed before we even get to account for the phone itself.
My S20 FE 5G is really less good at hooking up weak signals in WiFi, 4G and 5G than my Oneplus 8T
