QUOTE(attw @ Feb 17 2020, 12:11 PM) I think the kpkb part is more on the dismal free gifts, the 128GB storage and the 5G Ultra doesn't support all possible 5G bands. 5G is still at its development stages. So can't blame Samsung either. But since 5G is not needed/available yet, might as well we just use back our phones and wait for 5G to be working and then only decide which phone to buy. Since it doesn't make much of a difference as newer phones without 5G would be just the usual "better processor, better camera, a bit larger screen and better screen", and in the S20's case you even have smaller storage of 128gb of the current 256GB storage expected on current flagship phones. It is if you're not gonna utilize the feature before you sell off the phone - which would be the case for me, hahaha... This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Feb 17 2020, 12:17 PM |

QUOTE(dlsl @ Feb 17 2020, 02:57 PM) I think s20 main selling point is the 120hz screen which every reviewer or youtuber said will change your usage experience ( smoothness). I'm on the Oneplus 7 Pro and its one of the first to adopt 90hz screen. The 90hz screen is indeed is smoother and slicker, more fluid but its not a deal breaker. If you would ask me if the 90hz refresh rate is necessary, I would tell you No. If the app you are using wasn't purpose built for the 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, the phone detects it and lowers the refresh rate to the standard 60 hz. So.... I would say the 120hz refresh rate would be nice to have, but not really a good reason to buy the phone for. QUOTE(ipohps3 @ Feb 17 2020, 03:36 PM) Yeah. Agreed 5G is still being developed. But by end of this year at least we will have commercial sub 6 GHz 5G as announced by MCMC last month. This also at least in Klang Valley I believe. Forget about the mmWave for now as I think they will come in phase 2 of 5G deployment. Looking around the world, only the US has commercial mmWave service while most countries including China, HK, South Korea started with sub 6 GHz 5G. That also mean the Snapdragon version from South Korea is a potential device to be imported for those who want Snapdragon as it supports the C-band 3.5 GHz 5G in Malaysia. You cancelled the pre-order? After paying the Rm500 deposit? For me the main thing is the Exynos chipset. Hence, cancelled the preorder. The 120 Hz screen is tempting though. |

QUOTE(Rei7 @ Feb 17 2020, 09:41 PM) Yes big joke on my end. Pay for a phone for around RM4K already, might as well get the highest storage space and ram, but there is not even an option for higher storage for example Wait for a month or 2 after launch and the larger capacity models will follow suit. It has always been the norm. Why? I think lower capacity ones should be less popular.Personally Snapdragon or not doesn't matter as much to me at least, Exynos still fine for me, but not offering higher storage and what not is |

QUOTE(Iylia @ Feb 18 2020, 12:37 AM) Whats the issue with the 128GB version if you can add on a micro sd card that is U3 Class 10 UHS-I A2? Speed should be sufficient right? Apps (which takes up most of your storage besides pictures and videos could only be stored in internal storage, not SD card. Whatsapp pics and data could only be stored in internal storage as well.. Files are getting bigger so yeah, we need bigger storage. 128gb would be minimum requirement. 256gb would be just nice. Many are expecting a a larger capacity as they are already.paying top dollar for a flagship phone.Any 45w chargers that would work well with the S20 Ultra other than the official Samsung one? Quite expensive RM 180 for the charger.. =( This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Feb 18 2020, 07:21 AM |

QUOTE(Azureknight94 @ Feb 18 2020, 12:10 PM) Human nature like to hoard things and not lose anything I don't like hoarding stuff too, especially in my phone. But nowadays, we tend to view more of the pictures on our phones rather than on the pc or laptop. If you need to view the pictures on a larger screen, we just mirror link our phone to our LED TV and we can view it on large screens. So if you were to store it on your pc, it wont be so convenient in viewing the pictures when you want.I don't keep many apps on the phone. Just the essentials + whatever game i play at that moment. For vids/pics if i go on a trip, will transfer the to the pc post trip for editing and back up. For whatsapp and other social media platforms, many of us use it for business or work related purpose, we cant really afford to delete the messages, pictures and videos because we need to refer back to it later on. Apps are taking more and more space on our phones, pictures and videos are going higher and higher in definition and all these requires more space. All these 'junk' on our phones will just keep getting more and more each year. So a larger capacity storage is not only a requirement, it is almost a must have. |

QUOTE(attw @ Feb 18 2020, 05:37 PM) Right, people deeply rooted in the ecosystem won't switch no matter how compelling the offer is. But with the S20, the offer is not even compelling. But after my second week now with my S10 Lite, I can see why US reviewers wax lyrical about their Samsung phones and don't mention any of the stuffs we face like poor cell reception and battery drain. The SD processor makes a world of difference! I don't think many pre-ordered, looking at the rate this thread is going.Let's see if the Exynos 990 can prove different from it's predecessors.

Most people who are gonna spend this amount of money on a phone are gonna be like might as well get an iphone They even resorted to Jinnyboy to promo the preorder with claims like "I heard the ultra is almost sold out (insiderinfo)" in his instastory Tell Jinnyboy that during last round of pre-orders, the phones were sold out on the first day itself. |

QUOTE(Azureknight94 @ Feb 18 2020, 09:07 PM) Even if never sold out, one of these days they will close the preorder and claim sols out anyways. The extra stock send to roadshow. Lose face if preorder not sold out Haha....your statement my friend is absolutely spot on QUOTE(attw @ Feb 18 2020, 09:12 PM) No la, like we established a long time ago bro, this thread is only a very, very small sample of the general population of gadget fanatics out there. I’m sure there’ll be long queues at the roadshow - if the offer is right Ok...you want cheap then go queue 12 hours before launch. I think SME will throw in better deals during the road show should preorder booking volumes dont reach their targets. |

Yeah....i also think the Snapdragon vs Exynos issue has been blown out of proportion by certain quarters. I mean why would Samsung use SD chipsets for the S20 range for their homeground Korean market. Koreans must be sheeps.
Even Samsung would be using the Snapdragon 865 on their S20 on homeground Korean market. https://wccftech.com/galaxy-s20-wont-use-ex...ng-home-market/ Wccftech LEAK ⋮ MOBILE Samsung Won’t Be Using Its Custom Exynos 990 for the Galaxy S20 Series in Its Home Market By Omar Sohail Jan 31 SHARE TWEET SUBMIT Galaxy S20 Series to Stick to Snapdragon 865, Not Exynos 990, for Samsung’s Home Market A while back, shortly after Qualcomm officially announced the Snapdragon 865, reports came in that the majority of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 shipments wouldn’t feature the Korean giant’s Exynos 990. One reason could be that the Snapdragon 865 brings more to the table than what the Exynos 990 offers and according to info from a tipster, that could be true for. A fresh leak shows that the Galaxy S20 series launching in South Korea, Samsung’s home market, will also sport Snapdragon 865 SoCs. Samsung Using the Snapdragon 865 Is More Than Enough Evidence That Qualcomm’s Latest SoC Is Superior Ice Universe has shared evidence that was later confirmed by Max Weinbach about the Galaxy S20’s chipset headed for South Korea. According to the Twitter thread, a lot of people are surprised that Samsung wouldn’t opt for its own silicon for its home turf. That’s probably more than enough evidence showing Snapdragon 865’s superiority over the Exynos 990. Best Galaxy S20 Ultra Cases Available Right Now [List] More evidence is Samsung shutting down its in-house chip development facility in Austin, with earlier reports stating that the company’s Exynos range would consume more power and was less powerful than the Snapdragon range. For the time being, Samsung will rely on ARM’s performance cores for future chipsets rather than using its Mongoose range but that doesn’t mean the company has thrown in the towel. To be sure, the Korean version of the Galaxy S20 series uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 processor, which is a good thing. pic.twitter.com/dulnSj27y0 — Ice universe (@UniverseIce) January 31, 2020 An early rumor from the same leakster Ice Universe detailed than a 5nm Exynos 1000 is under development and it may use either ARM’s Mali-A78 GPU, or a solution from AMD thanks to their partnership that was announced back in 2019. At the same time, Qualcomm will be looking to keep consistent pressure on Samsung as the San Diego chipmaker plans to unveil its 5nm Snapdragon 875 later in 2020. A lot of exciting things are expected to show up this year, but for now, do you think it’s the right move for Samsung to switch to a Snapdragon 865 for its home market?

QUOTE(manx @ Feb 19 2020, 12:02 PM) Buying high end phones with super camera and just use free unlimited google photos cloud is not a perfect solution unless you opt to pay for extea storage. Well... I guess its the same story with Apple Ifags. Samsung Fags will die die defend Samsung even when they are being short-changed for lower specs and in this case smaller storage. |

QUOTE(attw @ Feb 20 2020, 08:11 AM) Like we mentioned in the previous pages, it could be blown out of proportion. I'm sure Samsung won't put the Exynos 990 in their phones if they do not think it can match the SD. Also, there's every chance that the weaknesses of Exynos chips in the past has been addressed. Chance would be the keyword. Hope would be on everyone buyer's mind. Risk is the chance we would take.Of course, if you don't want to take the risk why not wait for feedback after the phone has been officially launched? You might miss the preorder gifts but you might also get it cheaper by then This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Feb 20 2020, 09:21 AM |
