This post is to solicit help from those who own an Ultra, Exynos version.

I actually want the Snapdragon iteration but now have an offer for a local set which is too good to turn down. I know the shortcomings of the Exynos set. Can live with the comparatively not so good battery life since it is 5000 mAh, so still alright. The other shortfalls I can also deal with. The only thing which is important to me is the line/data/WiFi reception, the signal. How is it? Bearable or not too good? I have the Note 10+ but since this Ultra seems to have more problems, hence my solicitation for inputs.

Would appreciate any advice before I put my money down for the set. TQ all.

Data and line connection is really subjective and hard to comment as its really dependent on where you're living also sweat.gif for me in melaka its pretty good on Maxis, I get 4g in most places and signal even in certain parts of my workplace where my colleagues don't. But I'm not sure if that's a plus point for the phone or for maxis.
WiFi is works fine for me. Not much to complain. IMO since you on note 10+ already why not wait note 20 biggrin.gif next month only. And pretty sure a lot of the kinks with the s20u camera etc should be worked out by then.

hi guys. samsung offering s20+ for 2799 and s20+ ultra for 3499... very tempted..

is the battery okay so far? am currently using s8+...
*
I've been using the s20 ultra since launch and with the note 20 on the horizon, I'd say you might as well wait.
Battery life for me has been adequate but not stellar. Around 5 hours SOT on work days where I don't have WiFi. If at home on WiFi 6 to 7 hours SOT is possible.
The main downside is the camera which to be honest has improved a lot since launch but it should not have been an issue in the first place on a phone this expensive sweat.gif
Performance day to day use is great especially the 120hz screen smile.gif
If you're looking for a change right now, suggest can go for op8 Pro or s20 SD version as many have shown it to be better in terms of performance + battery life.
The note 20 line should be good and more optimised as they usually work out all the kinks by then.

Hi Guys, just own the S20+ for a week. So far the experience was not bad. just want to hear from you all if any recommended  glass protector. I read that Whitestone Dome Glass good Finger print is working but hard to get in Malaysia ? your feedback is highly appreciated
*
Whitestone dome probably the best already. Can get in shopee or check out garage sales i think got one or two people selling.
Personally not using any screen protector though tongue.gif used the plastic sp that came with the phone for a good two months + before it started getting scratched up.

Before that like got problem with camera slow autofocus and maxis network problem. Is all this problem been solved? Planning to get s20ultra local set. Need advise from the current s20ultra users
*
Recommend to go for SD set. Using s20 ultra now. Besides the slow auto focus imo the large sensor also annoying with too much bokeh. I'd say the s20 plus sd version probably the best among s20 series sweat.gif

Now the question is if it comes with SD instead of exynos.

If we get 4G, mean Exynos 990
If we get 5G, mean SD 865
*
Got a feeling we gonna get the 4g variant only. Samsung won't want to cannabalize their other phones tongue.gif

SD, 120hz, and vibrant color choice making it very tempting to pre-order. Using a Note 9 now. Plan to pass the 9 to my mom (she's using the 8). Do you guys think it's worth the upgrade? Battery life seems promising. Hmm.
*
From note 9 yes definitely worth the upgrade

So if put aside warranty, which one is worth it; getting import s20+ SD or S20FE?
Import set S20+ around similar price.
*
If you don't mind warranty I would go for the s20+ import set tbh since price about the same. Have to wait official review to know if Samsung gimped the s20 FE in any way especially camera wise. Based on specs alone hard to say.

Ok for the past 2 months busy with work but noticed my camera having problems with auto focus. Its hard to describe when turn on the camera app it will focus near object but won't focus far object, have to shake the phone only will focus sweat.gif gets especially annoying when you have to scan mysejahtera nowadays.
finally had some time to bring phone to service centre.
they formatted my phone first and problem persisted so proceeded to replace the camera module.
all done under 3 hours so quite happy with the service.
Now problem fixed and camera focusing well. biggrin.gif

Anyone has an experience with Nilkin Tempered Glass? Want to know whether it affects fingerprint scanning. Thanks. Planning to get for FE model.
*
If not mistaken FE is using optical fingerprint scanner instead of ultrasonic so the tempered glass shouldn't affect its performance

Should I get the S20? I am upgrading from s10e...

Don't really care for the S20 FE.
*
Any particular reason you prefer the s20 over the FE? IMO between these 2 the FE is a better buy with SD865, similar camera performance, battery is larger on FE also.

120Hz display is a huge upgrade too, it's hard to go back 60Hz.
*
This is especially true when all the screens you use are 120hz now haha. Monitor 144hz, ipad pro 120hz, phone which you use the most also 120hz. Now when I notice/use other's 60hz screen, takes a couple of minutes to adjust sweat.gif

Hi all. Sorry if this is a known issue. I feel that s20 fe battery drain is fast. I have a nova 7 se 5g with 4000mAH performs way better. My 3 hours screen on time will drop me to around 30% of battery left.

I am on Exynos LTE version only. Do you guys have this same problem?

Its because exynos sweat.gif
