That's a bit too wishful thinking no?  laugh.gif
Ya I guess each one of us has preference over which OS we would prefer. Im not saying I like EMUI but I definitely prefer it over Samsung Experience for all the reasons.
*
Ya, true. Anyways will wait for the masses to get their phones and see what their experience is like on the new Exynos. I'm not going anywhere near the preorder this round. I didn't pay much attention to the launch and spec sheets but really surprised to learn that the RM4999 S20 Ultra comes only with 128GB storage. Very Apple like already, hahaha (although one can argue Apple will still give you 64GB storage)

Dual speaker? Hmmm, nice to have but I don't play game or watch movie over the phone. If I watch YouTube, it's almost earphone 100% of the time because don't wanna kacau my baby.
Wireless charging no, s7 edge I bought wireless pad and throw it away, not practical because have to keep putting my phone down.
IP rating, nice to have, on rare basis will drop my phone into water

I practically use my phone 24/7 for WhatsApp/email/chrome. My s7edge battery only can tahan 2-3 hours max.
My priority is battery, no lag. Use for office stuff. The last time I post photo to social media was like....5 years ago.

Then go with the S10 Lite, it"s more than sufficient for your needs. I've had it for 4 days now, and at the moment it's checking every box for me smile.gif

S10 lite due to snapdragon
Note 10 lite due to spen
S20 plus, because of better ram and storage.

Price is not the main issue because 3 devices is similar in pricing, about 3-4K. Dilemma dilemma dilemma.
*
S20 Plus has faster storage but amount of storage and RAM is same with Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite, i.e. 8/128. So either go big with the S20 Ultra or not go at all, hehe - well, at least for me.

I’ve bought numerous of exynos phone, always got reception issue and battery drain issue, has been convincing myself to give them chance for many times lol.
*
Same bro, that's why I had to try the S10 Lite to see for myself how a Samsung ppwered by a flagship SD chip behaves in comparison to an Exynos one. I wouldn't buy a parallel imported set with no Samsung MY warranty though.

The reports on the Exynos 990 is already out. So don't put your hopes too high on it. Lol.

Read this..

That's quite an old article, it still refers to the phone as S11, hahaha...

Confirm exynos or snapdragon?
It is already proven that exynos is slower than snapdragon by 2% for single core and 20%!!!! for multi core score (geekbench).
*
Exynos. Benchmark scores don't mean too much unless you're into heavy gaming. In day to day use the Exynos will also pretty much handle everything you throw at it.

If you have a S10 series phone and wonder if it's worth to upgrade:

600 MB/min of 8k 24 fps video on the S20 series.

Yes, so 128GB storage may not be enough if you're into videography. Need to get a memory card which in turn takes up your SIM 2 slot.

ya benchmark score isnt all, but the battery life on exynos is so so bad on top of a poorer signal reception

Yes, having used the S10+ and more recently the Note 10+ with Exynos, I'm seeing the difference with the SD processor first hand on my S10 Lite. It's like night and day.

Another disadvantage is that no micro sdcard is faster compared to the internal storage and if there are faster ones out there, it'll depend on your phone's card reader as well, if it's able to read that fast or not.

Wish me luck, I'm gonna hop into the ROG phone 2's wagon for this year and hopefully next year Samsung will do better than this. But tbh the ultra zoom feature still is tempting me.
*
Haha, good luck bro. I was so close to pulling the trigger for the ROG 2 too but decided to play it safe and went with the S10 Lite instead.

Well, you can risk getting a parallel imported set with in house warranty if you are the adventurous type. Some have taken that route.

QUOTE(off_shore @ Feb 14 2020, 10:01 AM)
how's S10 lite battery performance for you? And the camera?
*
Battery wise, it's the best I've seen in all the Samsung flagships I've used so far - and I've used many biggrin.gif I'm not a big photography enthusiast so the camera is more than adequate for me at the moment. Still yet to test it further. Only had the phone for just about a week now.

You are changing from 10lite to 20+? Ultra?

No, I'm gonna stick with my S10 Lite till the OP8 launches or I might even try the Mi 10 Pro, depending on the price. Won't be going for the S20 range this round.

FYI the Exynos does support 5G. What many here are comparing are the lacklustre performance and battery life of the 990 vs the SD865 equipped version of the S20.
*
Aiyo, still cannot compare between the 990 and the 865 la, considering the phones haven't hit the market yet. Everyone is comparing based on their previous experiences with previous processors laugh.gif

We should give the 990 a chance. Looking forward to read about the experiences from those who preordered.

Well... why not you buy the phone and try it yourself then?  icon_idea.gif  laugh.gif

The only phone I would be keen to try is the Ultra for the 5000mAh battery. But not at that price, not with those preordered gifts and not with the 128GB storage, bro.

Given how fast their prices drop, I ain't going on that preorder ride with them anymore bro, hahaha...

i doubt it. despite i change my setting to HD only, the phone still die on me before i balik kerja at 5pm. this is full charge plug out at 7.30am. most review just put mix and match there. but if u do like mine mostly on browsing the net, the battery drain very fast one.
*
Note 10+?

How many hours screen time are you doing for it to die at 5pm la bro?

coming to work by 9am already 85%. this is watching utube all the way. then i browse the nett do some fb and all by lunch its already 65%. i do shoot email once a while from my phone too if very productive. then take note here and there without non stop browsing the nett. By 3pm, the phone goes down to 33%. continue some more by 5pm it will reach 5%. This is on HD. couple with the slowpoke signal strength, i bet thats the actual culprit.

Yeah, I can imagine. Many reviewers did comment that the battery life isn't adequate for power users, I guess you're one of those! biggrin.gif

Guys, please stop freaking out with Exynos. It's not that bad. It's just not as battery efficient as SD.
But with 4000+ mah battery, your phone won't die on you for a day.
*
Actually, with a 120hz refresh rate screen, there is still a possibility the phone will die on you for a day. My previous OP7 Pro with 90hz display barely cut it during heavy usage for a day.

i want to try again actually if maybe what im doing was totally irrelevant to what Samsung describe as Power Users.

So next week, i will up the display to the full WQHD+, then on AOD.

In the meantime, my Galaxy S10 Lite just did 10 hours SOT over a 41-hour period thumbup.gif

5% over 7 hours is pretty ok. Normal for a Samsung.

Pretty sure Samsung wont include that 45W charger in the box.  shakehead.gif

I think its included with the S20 Ultra? Not sure...

Edit: Just read that most likely it'll come with the 25W charger still and not the 45W one...
