i called senheng today asking how to cancel pre order? seems like they panicked and said its not refundable..I straight away said I can claim dispute with my bank.

after that i received email from them saying they are allocating batch by batch and they will notify me once it arrives..

zzz...

Wonder why they don't tell the truth. It sounds like they have lost the shipments and trying it find it back, that's why cannot give us a definite answers.

Finally got mine today too. I have no complain about it. Quite happy upgrading from A10s 🀣. But I notice 120hz drains battery quite fast, so set it bek to 60hz. Btw, got new software updates about the screen stabilisation. I straight away use switch to transfer πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Nice. How do you like the transparent casing? I'm surprised that the fingerprint magnet effect isn't as strong as expected. Not sure if it's because the color is pastel. Overall feels sturdier compared to the usual plastic cases such as Ringke/Nilkin/Spigen. My only complaint is that the stand doesn't work for portrait mode (unlike some of previous Samsung cases with built-in stands).

Using previous gen Galaxy buds for casual & Taotronics 46 for home media consumption.
*
Yeah, first thing came to mind was how thick it is! Same quality like my wife's note 9 case that came with it (without stand). 2 yrs and still the same strong tight fitted, protects the phone well but already turned yellowish. And the fingerprints also not that visible.

Yeah, wanted a wired one as backup in case wireless ran out of juice.

QUOTE(wongzai @ Oct 16 2020, 01:24 PM)
Only when restore time feel touch screen sensitivity issue but after clear cache seems ok. Using Since Saturday and look like the battery getting stronger now also.

3 hours screen time with normal fb, shopee, insta and light usage of other apps already left 66% 😱

sama sama, at first i thought damn 4500 same like Note9  bruce.gif ? but after few days seems ok now. drop not so fast and also the standby quite impress. within 3-5% reduce overnight without the need to set to aeroplane mood.

Okay, lemme use for few more days. After all today is only the first day πŸ™

Samsung phones usually take a few days to calibrate and optimize the battery.

So far the only issues i keep seeing is touch screen one. But not all affected, quite a few.
You all got any issues or not, before i place my order. xD
*
When I got the phone yday evening, I straight away software update it with that touch screen fix, then I do the smart switch. So far fingers cross, it has no problem yet.

Welcome to the s20 family! Initially I was deciding between s20+ for rm2800 during 9.9, then the AP ones for its SD shipset for similar price, and lastly FE. What a journey. Didn't post anything previously becos was still deciding.

I like, it’s so pretty. I remember that’s how I fell in love with my S8 back then. Then farrrkkk.. spending so much money on curved screen because I always cannot find suitable TG and it costs so much just to change all the time.... yes I change once every few months once the oleophobic coat went off.
*
LOL same here, when I first laid my eyes on s8plus, it was really sleek and beautiful. Until need to find TG then my headache started. Until I settled with that whitdom, boy its so pricey! I took care of mine well, but wife's note 9 is in really bad shape with all corner cracked. Still looking for a reliable TG if you guys know any good brands out there πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

I ended up with using Hydrogel. But it's not as nice as TG. And pretty hard to apply.

Isit like those self healing type? maybe I might give it a try, thanksπŸ‘

Nowadays not difficult to find curved tempered glass, either buy online or if you're bad at DIY like me, visit Ninjaz and pay a bit more but have them install it for you smile.gif
*
Hmm last time those TG has lots of issue like bubbles, or it lifted up after a while of using, rainbow, uneven surface.. All the nightmares just becos of the curve screen. Ok, lemme go read more reviews on shopee/lazada see if any of them are worthy (for my wife note 9)

QUOTE(off_shore @ Oct 17 2020, 10:12 PM)
Unfortunately with the ultra sonic fp scanner, not many TG actually worked for s20. I ended up ditching them and use plastic wrap like mobile outfitters.
*
I quite miss the physical fingerprint scanner at the back. At times I will subconsciously touch the camera thinking it's the scanner lol. Sigh.. Flat screen but can't use TG...

The touchscreen issus on the S20 FE finally can be reproduced based on this YouTube video

https://youtu.be/zpHZsz3RHJY

Unfortunately this is mine. After the latest update i got as soon as i bought. Did the same test as the YouTube video just now but in landscape mode.

Day to day usage no issue. Even went to Gardens Center this morning, they said no hardware issue (coz that time this video has not been in YouTube yet) only noticed when gaming

Sorry, today is the 3rd day of usage, switching back to 60hz (cos don't scroll much, usually is for reading articles), cannot tahan the battery drain. My el-cheapo A10s with the same 4500 mAh and same usage usually only charges once every 2 days. How does you guy's S20Fe performing?

BTW, yday I used the phone until 1%, charged it inside the steriliser bath tub, needs 4hrs and 30mins of chargingπŸ™, ands it's still hot even in the aircond room.

QUOTE(miyakochan89 @ Oct 18 2020, 12:10 PM)
Do they have face recognition unlock? Just sacrifice the fingerprint and use that xD
Can you return it and get another unit maybe?

I was about to place order but haven’t yet.
*
Yeah, quite fast, but at night laying down on bed will be a bit harder, that's when I got most of my free time after the children has slept. I guess, it's one of the alternatives when there's no other ways πŸ˜†

Hmm also when wearing mask becomes the norm in the future, I think this feature will be quite useless soon.

Sigh for now have to stick to wireless. And very hard to masuk into my helmet cos big n dangling. Anyway hope ur screen issue to be resolved as soon as possible.

Yeah....I wanted to so might as well la. As long as it’s good for daily usage and keep up with things that I do on the phone.

Reason I jumped into this FE wagon was becos of its flat screen. So far okler, only the battery je.. Hope after these few days it gets better

Ok just found out that Samsung really likes to makes our lives so complicated. Since it doesn't comes with earphone or a dongle, at least need to inform us that if we were to get one, do get one with DAC chip inside. No wonder random dongle and earphone couldn't work.

Shopee cheapest dongle with DAC is around rm2X plus. Earphone is around rm5X plus.. πŸ˜’

Edited: BTW, diff DAC chip has diff quality

you mean for the sound to work or both audio and mic to work?

Apparently Samsung phone's usb c dont have that DAC chip built in it, that's why it couldn't recognise just any usb c earphone/dongle for the sound/mic to work.

Then I tried my friend huawei's P30 with that plextone I bought, has no problem using it, great sound with bass, Im so envy. So I exchanged my plextone with her stock huawei earphone that came with her phone, which our S20Fe can use 😭😭😭 cheapskate Sammy...

how to find USB-C earphones with DAC chips???
cause i talk on the phone a lot and i would like to get usb-c earbuds that actually work!
i did a simple search on the shopee but cannot find anything that differentiates it.

Something like these, u will see the word DAC in the product description. Apparently with this DAC, almost all usb c phones can be used.

If without it, then you will see in the description will limited only to certain phones.

Here is the link that I learn about the DAC.

Day 3 of using Samsung S20FE, so far so good. The phone is really snappy and the point of shoot is really fuss free.

I just got the nilkin case with the camera cover, which is very convenient. Now waiting for the privacy tempered glass to arrive and then everything will be perfect. smile.gif
*
Please share the review for the TG when u got it πŸ™. Does the camera TG snuck properly under the nillkin camera cover?

Edit: by the way, does the nillkin case any smaller than the clear case Samsung gave us? Felt that the clear case is quite bulky.

No i never put any TG on the camera since the nilkin has a camera cover already. I bought a privacy tempered glass for the screen which i just applied, working perfectly now. Of course your screen will be dimmed a little and there're tiny lines on the screens (only visible if you squirm your eyes hard enough).

I am not sure about the Samsung Case, i bought mine via EPP so don't get the freebies. But the nilkin cover is pretty thin and solid. Of course the camera part not so.
*
Wow EPP, that's good price πŸ‘ Does the TG works with fingerprint scanner? My screen protector started to have a few fine hairline of scratches d. Yeah I like that nillkin and the price also not too expensive. Thanks for the review.
