The plastic wrap is SP? :confused:

The plastic wrap at the back has a tab so that you can easily remove it. The front one doesn't

It is also have side small plastik wrap around phone?
Note: i using note10 lite
*
Not sure abt Note10lite though. The S20U has one film at front screen, another film at back

The film at back has a tag that you can use to easily pull it off

Front film looks like it's a permanent thing, but of course you can tear it off too if you want

Well that should be expected from a free wireless charging pad give by Samsung.
It is an old model, so max 9V.
If you want a bit faster, you can buy the 15W wireless charger from Samsung.
You may try fast wireless charging from other brands, but it won’t go more than 7.5W due to proprietary tech used by Samsung.

But for me cable all the way la.
25W for S20/20+ and 45W for S20U.
Less than 1 hour ald full.
*
Read somewhere that 45W charging not that much faster than the standard 25W? Dunno of it's worth getting the 45W charger

To those commenting on battery life, do you guys enable adaptive power saving? I enabled it, and even though I choose optimised setting I noticed that it sometimes goes to medium power saving.

I noticed because my AOD wasn't there, as it turns out default medium setting disables AOD (which I then changed)

So now, even if the phone goes to medium power saving my AOD still visible

For games I use Game Booster that puts the phone into high performance automatically

Apparently admin blocked the ad later yesterday evening

Lol. I don't know how long can it last.

Anyone getting smart warranty?

Who bought from roadshow already received their SD card and free TV?

So far so good though

Not sure why other people are saying their Samsung SP already have scratches

BTW I was previously using my S8+ naked (except for dbrand sticker at back), screen still perfect until now

Just thinking if i should go with a 25W car charger + phone mount or a 15W wireless charger phone mount.
How fast does the Xiaomi manage to charge the S20 Ultra?
*

This is what I use. 20W wireless charging, was good enough for my previous S8+ running Waze + mobile hotspot for multiple devices at same time. Love the automatic open/close mechanism

Seems alright for the S20U as well in the short time that I've had the phone

Yes, my S20U started to have it a few days ago. Noticed it when I was browsing late at night with brightness set to 0 (room lights were all off). At first I thought it was some webpage issue, but it came back after browsing other websites

Samsung has taken the issue-ridden Galaxy S20 Ultra firmware off the air

"The Galaxy S20 series has received quite a few updates in a short time. Unfortunately, the last update that was released globally for the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra turned out to have too many issues, including the presence of a green tint on the display when high refresh rate is enabled and, in the case of the Galaxy S20 Ultra, slower super fast charging than what the phone was initially capable of.

And it seems Samsung realized the extent to which the last update caused issues on the Galaxy S20 Ultra: It has now taken the latest firmware for the device off the air. If you hadn’t already downloaded the latest update — software version G988xXXU1ATCT — on your phone, you will probably not be able to download it now, either over the air or through Samsung’s Smart Switch software for Windows and Mac."

For my S20 Ultra, the green tint only happen under certain conditions:
1. 120hz
2. When screen is toggling between low/high brightness
3. Can be solved by restarting apps

So my assumption is it is a software issue with brightness + 120Hz.

Battery Drain wise, after update and several weeks of usage (Ai Learning?), my battery now can last through a day with moderate usage

Camera wise, still the same, cannot tahan photo with blurry sides due to the big lens, auto focus tends to be abit slow

Overall, still a solid phone with slightly high price tag

I've noticed if snap photo of near objects (e.g. item on desk) from within WhatsApp the pic is slightly out of focus. A bit annoying having to exit chat, use native camera app to snap pic, open WhatsApp back and then attach the pic before sending.

Do other people notice this too?

it s because it uses wide angle so you cant focus, just switch to front camera and switch back to rear camera will do
