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.. LOL

i can see some samples from taiwan youtuber on demo about 100x.. what i would say, not really usable photos.. however 10x optical zoom looks a lot better.. of course it depend how frequent u need the zoom capabilities.. in term of daily usage, i would say SD855 devices or S10 series still manage to handle very well..

other than that, i dont see a big upgrade unless you have extra money to spend on.. it's kind of marketing hype to attract more sales.. you wont feel outdated if you didnt upgrade to this as you will use your camera to take friends photo, food photos, flower photos only. you wont use 10x optical zoom to take group photos... that's my view.. of course got extra features always better.

Comparison between s20 ultra vs my current phone


Phone A


Phone B


Phone A


Phone B

This is main cam with 12mp.

Haiz. I should take landscape instead of portrait. Sorry about that. Forget Lyn will turn the photo..

Don't see any big advantage of s20 ultra there but I guess the advantage of big aperture will be on night screen..

10x is usable, 30x I feel not so acceptable in indoor. Probably outdoor daylight which is good. 100x I doubt we may use it..

Btw, phone A above is s20 ultra and phone B is my phone.

Lol. Later I Kena scold by people here. Today I go with my friend to purchase s20+.. hehe. Got 3 free gifts.. Galaxy bud+, wireless charger and microsd 128gb (to be deliver by Samsung Malaysia).. after that go to clear coat for full wrap.. 210.. including camera lens area.

After that we went to some night scenes and test out photo output.. me feel a bit shy cause my phone output are better than s20+.. my friend a bit quiet and moody.. in the end have to tell him that need some software updates to improve the quality.. new phone...
