After complaining about horrible battery life on the exynos version for months, I've finally decided to swap a new battery for RM190 yesterday...

Guess what, still getting around 3.5hrs of screen on time on 4g...

Standby time around 8hrs

Yeah... I guess it's time to say goodbye to this phone?

Btw, I purchased this phone last December from c**sia for around RM2.6k, as in "excellent condition" from their website

Received the phone with a dent and crack on the screen, the back cover has obviously been opened before...

And I've checked on instacash, the trade in value for Note 20u is so horrible... That you're better off using it as an alarm clock than trade it in...

I'm lucky when i trade in my N20U (the price still okay at that time) for S22U instead of my Note10+ as i find my Note10+ have better batery life than Note20U.
*
I wanna grab the S22U, but it is way too overpriced even with student discounts+trade in
Probably going to get a xiaomi pb and call it a day
Never going to buy anything from them again

QUOTE(!@#$%^ @ Aug 28 2022, 08:51 AM)
change at samsung?
*
No, a repair shop near my house
RM190 for original Samsung battery
RM150 for OEM

And they told me the old battery wasn't bloated at all, but the back cover for my phone can be easily removed
Proved that this phone was probably repaired before... Yeah, I paid 2.7k for that thing

I've asked YES about this, supposedly it will be enabled after Samsung pushes out an update next month
Do expect the already horrible battery life to get even worse

I'm tempting to swap my exynos N20U with a SD version, but I don't wanna deal with 2nd hand phones anymore.
And I doubt anyone will swap it with mine...

Another month another mega sale, anyone tempted to move on from Note 20?

Using it since Aug 2020... Hmmm

Looking at S22U, if it is on discount I'll get one
Probably a Note 10+ too

S22 can get RM500 instant discount plus another RM600 if you trade in your old phone. Total RM1.1K less actual price.

I'm a heavy Spen user, gonna go for one with the pen...
The best price I can get from Samsung with students discount is around 4.6 without trade in
Simply out of my budget...
Even though I hate my note 20u a lot, but at the moment I cant get rid of it
QUOTE(lambox105 @ Sep 10 2022, 09:11 AM)
Yes

Already well known the exy#### soc used in 20 series is trash compared to its midrange series (compared to SD865/SD865+)
21 series allievate the problem but the signal strength still not as good as SD888
*
Wow, so getting local version of the 21 series is risky too?

I thought dependent on place and most telcos currently now implement NSA which requires B28
If your place or testing place no B28 tied together with B78 then no 5G signal

No problem getting 5G on S22U at the same location, the 5G station is just outside my window

In the [LTE] list, select any one Band except Band 20, 38, 40 & 41. For [NR], select [ALL]. Then, 3-dots menu to [END]. No need to reboot device.

Sometimes we need to Flight Mode On-Off and see a "blip" of #5G_is_fake icon on the status bar and disappear within one second.

This is very pronounce in Galoxxx devices while See-How-Me (11NE for me case) is very firm in locking the #5G_is_fake signal.

Grabbed a S21 ultra today, going to sell that 20U and say goodbye to all those issues

How old?

Got it from compasia last December for RM2.6k
Claims perfect condition but comes with a whole on the screen, no debris in the box

Since it is at least second hand, I'm guessing from official launch till now
