You got the S10 lite bro?
*
Yeah bro. Got mine over the weekend from Senheng. I'll give it another two or three weeks before I come up with my final review but so far so good.

I will say this though: Once you've tried SD over Exynos, it's gonna be very, very difficult to go back.

So yeah, no go for me for Exynos powered Samsung phones for now.

For those concerned on the performance of the Exynos 990 vs Sd865, read the below comparision.

Benchmarks don't mean much if they can't solve the basic issues like signal strength and standby battery drain as per my previous Note 10+ laugh.gif

The sample size of people active here is relatively small, don't think your call to boycott will bear much fruit. There are still people who will buy laugh.gif

they have always done that even with their other phones la. always shy to tell ppl what processor they're using, cause they know their exynos is low tier.

Ya, same as the Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite - their website just described the processor without naming them laugh.gif

You are absolutely right bro. And I don't have the time and patience to be doing bug troubleshooting or posting guides on this anymore. I will just stay with "boringly predictable" which works out of the box with frequent updates pushed to the phones.
*
Yes, the SD on Samsung's really does make a difference. I might skip all Exynos Samsung phones after this.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Feb 12 2020, 12:15 PM)
This is somehow true. Unless Samsung comes out with "generous incentives" then would buyers opt to buy. Its very much a buyers market right now with so many choices and options. Any "generous incentives" do let me know ya attw  brows.gif
*
Nope, I'll skip. My next phone target would be OP8 or OP8 Pro smile.gif

QUOTE(zerohunter @ Feb 12 2020, 01:11 PM)
can't decide between the + and the 5g. Is the 5g, battery and camera worth the extra 1k?
*
By the time 5G tech is widely adopted here the S20 Ultr might be going for half the RRP already smile.gif

The fact that all new Huawei phones don't come with GMS doesn't bother you?

I take the ultra just 4 the battery laugh.gif laugh.gif

Haha, yeah, I used to say that if Samsung puts a 5000mAh battery in their flagship I would buy it, but now that I've had a taste of the forbidden fruit (SD processor in a Samsung) it's hard.

Plus the price of the Ultra isn't helping laugh.gif

Well, there was a glimmer of hope before the launch, hahaha...

QUOTE(lambsauce @ Feb 12 2020, 06:30 PM)
ya now can only hope that next gen exynos is gonna be as good as SD

the longer they drag, the more "average" consumers also will notice how shitty exynos is
*
I hope they aren't just focused on matching the SD's benchmark scores - that's not my main gripe about the Exynos chip!

The S20 Ultra also comes with just 128GB storage? That's strange. In the past Samsung would be very generous with storage for a phone above RM4,000 (and in fact closer to RM5000).

Looks like they wanna match the fruit phone now...

That's what I was wondering as well when the leaks came out. What were they thinking when the note 10 series came 256gb as standard. Thought they brought up the game when p30 series made the same as standard as well...

Well serve them right for the lukewarm pre-order responds.
*
Maybe Huawei's fate has emboldened them. Would anyone get a S20 Ultra 128GB when you can get a Mate 30 Pro 5G 256GB if it had GMS for RM800 less?

Cant fault them. If they were to sell the 512GB it would mean pricing the S20 Ultra at Rm5999. But its a no brainer that anyone who could afford to pay rm5k for an Ultra would want to do with 128gb. rclxub.gif
What and where is the "shocking" part?
TBH Emui on Android is not bad. Its much better than Samsung Experience in resource management, battery management and also gets updated more frequently.
*
The Huawei gets updated more frequently than the Samsung? That’s a first...

My last Huawei was the P20 Pro, and updates were far and few between. Came close to pulling the trigger for the Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20 X and P30 Pro but in the end I held back. Anyways, won’t be considering a Huawei for the time being.

Anyways, let’s see how fast and how much the prices drop this round wink.gif

The mate 30 Pro was way earlier on android 10 compared to the Note 10 which only got it only recently. nod.gif

Price drop? Or SME will come up with the "Corporate Purchase" prices again so that it wouldn't make it look so bad. tongue.gif

Hahaha. If the S20 Ultra goes for RM2,499.50 corporate purchase then I’ll consider biggrin.gif

Here's the KLgadgetTV video of S20 event in Garden.

The video answered a few important questions which been mentioned quite a few times in this thread. We can take this as the official info from SME.

1. All S20 models are using Exynos
2. Only S20 Ultra got 5G modem and 12GB ram.
3. All S20 model are given 128GB storage, no more no less.
*
Suddenly a compelling case can be made for getting the S10 Lite over the S20. 8GB/128GB and with a SD855 processor for RM900 less. Sure it cuts some corners here and there, but it is a more than capable phone as far as I'm concerned smile.gif

It seems like not only did they raise the prices but they also toned down the specs... Double whammy laugh.gif

The Note 10+ is looking like a good buy now...

Is it worth to upgrade from S10? It seems like not much different in specs. And I'm not really into camera. The only thing I like about S10 is the weight and cheaper launch price (after selling all freebies).
*
To the S20? Not in my opinion. You'll be getting the same 8/128 combination albeit with a bigger battery and a higher screen refresh rate.

I'm currently using s7 edge, time to upgrade. The storage and battery is the only issue.

Should I go for S20 plus or S10 lite or note 10 lite?

I don't really think I need to use those canggih camera.
*
What about other stuffs like wireless charging, ingress protection and dual speakers? Are those important to you? If not, I'd suggest the S10 Lite.
