can't decide between the + and the 5g. Is the 5g, battery and camera worth the extra 1k?

5G is future proof?! i have doubt how far we can go with 5g coverage.. i would like to have better 4g stability and good experience..
bigger battery capacity over here is to support higher refresh rate of display 120hz.. which not so important to me.. however, the main selling point in S20 ultra is 10x optical zoom.. whoever travel frequently and used to capture landscape will need it.. if normal photoshooting like foods, group of people, documents, you not even need 10x optical zoom.. but got extra is always better.. this is the concept of flagship compare with others.. i think its good to have some difference compare with midrange.. **5G vs your data quota currently that you're subscribed** if you have maxis fibre + unlimited data plan then it might be a good choice.. assuming 5G speed is really fast and stable in Msia, someone subscribed RM50 plan with 10~20gb data per month, accidentally click 1 youtube video, and video fully buffer and consume 100mb ady..

QUOTE(zerohunter @ Feb 12 2020, 01:11 PM) It's already worth the extra 1k for the camera and battery.5G itself is useless and these phones are draining so much battery since the 5G chip is separate from the SOC. We are still in the early stage of 5G technology. I feel that buying an S20 or S20+ is "just" the same as buying the Note10/Note10+ with minimal improvement in camera quality. |

That's what consumers get when samsung main competitor has been crippled.
Let's see if the p40 Pro will give better deal next month |

True.Let's see if the p40 Pro will give better deal next month Huawei will surely struggle without Google. You almost couldn't see a stranger using Mate 30 Pro unlike when Mate 20 Pro was released. Gone are the days when HTC was a formidable contender. We need another OEM that can compete directly with Samsung. |

Huawei really needs to find a way to come back.Huawei will surely struggle without Google. You almost couldn't see a stranger using Mate 30 Pro unlike when Mate 20 Pro was released.

QUOTE(brandonkl @ Feb 12 2020, 12:52 PM) QUOTE(manx @ Feb 12 2020, 01:40 PM) As it is already priced quite high, Samsung will have to charge you an extra Rm1000 should you opt for the 512gb. So it would make the selling even more less attractive. So they will usually start with the lower storage model first and then come up with the larger storage models later. Hold on first if you need a larger capacity model. |
