Mainly due to the bad peak efficiency for Exynos i.e. the custom M5 core. Hence, the heat throttling and lower performance.

Note10+ overall winner.

They have been selling Note10 series with Snapdragon at lower than local prices also. Can check that the shop got good rating.

Still using Samsung Pay? Ever since their reward go down the drain I stop using oredi. So, no need to worry about it. Can use Grab instead.

The focusing is definitely improved but 108 MP mode still go some lag.

No thanks to Exynos. Even their shareholders not happy with Exynos.

Samsung Malaysia could increase the RRP by RM 300 to RM 500 more and offer us the Snapdragon version with local warranty and also all the preorder freebies. But they decided not to as they want to maintain Exynos market share and to recoup the R&D spent on Exynos. We are already paying great money of RM 4k and more and yet we get something that is subpar to cheaper phones with Snapdragon 865.

How to know if it is refurbished or not?

I think someone did a comparison for it few days back. But the comments favour S20.

Single SIM still got another slot for microSD card just that the memory slot cannot be used for a second SIM, so no worries.

"Frankly, I’m quite disappointed in the results of the S20 series. They’re still good, and represent upgrades to the S10 series in most scenarios, but they fall short of the overhyped expectations. I think Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro’s main sensor quality and pictures are still a step above what the S20’s can deliver in daylight, with cleaner, sharper and more natural results. Huawei also is seemingly years ahead of Samsung when it comes to complex camera systems like the one employed on the S20 Ultra, having much better optics and the proper software processing to actually deal with the multiple modules."

Yeah. At least those who say the Snapdragon more expensive should give the SoC, storage, 5G and 12 GB RAM some consideration, especially on the S20 and S20+. Indeed, the Snapdragon SoC is more expensive than the Exynos. I would say at most the Snapdragon version is about RM 500 max more expensive than the SME model.

The only thing I worry is the heating issue on the Exynos as it has been the case since S9 series compared to Snapdragon which has higher efficiency due to the Exynos using less efficient Samsung custom core.

Looks like the seller is also selling 256 GB model from South Korea (G98XN) with new colour options like red, blue, and, white. 🙂

After watching reviews on P40 Pro and preview of P40 Pro+, I think if one really emphasize on camera features, Huawei is the better choice, also the Huawei App Gallery is gaining momentum. Since the major selling point of the S20 Ultra is the camera with its gimmicky 100x zoom. I would say Huawei is one year ahead of Samsung in telephoto/periscope technology. For those insist on getting a Samsung, I recommend the more practical option of S20+ instead of Ultra.

Samsung should have delayed the launch of the Ultra until they get the camera software correct rather than rushing to launch it and get negative comments which will be forever recorded in the Internet.
