QUOTE(chaos32 @ Aug 5 2020, 10:15 PM) I skipped a generation and was hoping the Note 20 Ultra will be the replacement. What are the alternatives out there? What's your current phone? Oneplus 8 Pro, Huawei P40 series or considering how crazy prices are getting for Android phones can even think about fruit phone

QUOTE(chaos32 @ Aug 5 2020, 10:21 PM) Currently on Note 9. Huawei P40 have to jail break right? I was on the Note 9 before changing to s20 ultra. I'd say if you are tied into Samsung can try the S20 series with SD chips. Not really sure how the Huawei phones work, might need to sideload Google apps but shouldn't be too complicated. Still plenty of Huawei users.

QUOTE(Baconateer @ Aug 5 2020, 11:31 PM) i dont know what weed Samsung is smoking 3899 for a 60hz screen in 2020 is an absolute joke. If 3899 with QHD screen can somehow still digest but 60hz 1080p panel really cannot brain. They did it last year with note 10 but to do it again this year + downgrade the build some more  its a downgrade even if coming from note 9 which is a 2 year old phone! If apple comes out with an iPhone that has 120hz display then might really consider making the jump next year. This post has been edited by Azureknight94: Aug 5 2020, 11:42 PM

QUOTE(SpringBiscuit @ Aug 6 2020, 12:00 PM) im indeed do need a new phone urgently, my note 9 is dying soon due to green tint and sometimes it will screen freeze without anything i can do. i'm reading all the forum to see whether i can find any performance comparison now between S20U and Note20U, both of them i can get RM3k+. Is the new adaptive screen refresh rate really boost the battery a lot? how optimise is the new exynos990? If you can get either one for 3k+ then go for the Note 20U. Laser AF would have at least solved the auto focus problems plaguing the s20u. Battery life wise probably the same, both using same chip but note 20u smaller battery size with adaptive screen refresh. Doubtful that any optimisation done to the chip itself Anyways full reviews of the phones will only be out in a week or two depending on when the NDA expires. Or only after launch. Unless the preorder really excites you, just wait a bit before pulling the trigger. Still got roadshow offers. And even after preorder period when there's leftover stocks they'll still bundle the buds together. Same thing happened with s20 launch.

QUOTE(un_id @ Aug 8 2020, 09:16 PM) I hope no one buy exynos version, to force samsung either lower the price or bring in sd version here.. lets do this as a community, spread the word about exynos shit 😆 Saw some early review of the camera. Much better than s20u especially with the laser af helping out with focusing  now really regret pull trigger on s20u. Quite tempted to make the switch as my only complaint on the s20u is the focusing speed and sometimes its a bit off too. Will definitely be holding out for the SD version this time round. Doubt SME will bring in that version by themselves though. Watch some early hands on review by UK YouTubers all warning against the exynos

QUOTE(steffleupagus @ Aug 12 2020, 04:18 PM) based on previous models, how much do you think price will drop if wait a few months? thinking whether just pre-order and get the freebies.. did a lot of comparison already, and the best alternative to the note 20 ultra is to get the s20+ or ultra in snapdragon, but then cannot use samsung pay in malaysia... such dilemma  Probably drop by at least 1k in next few months. Now can get s20u sd for rm3699 already from shopee  You can use Samsung pay just don't have the points collection which frankly isn't that great anymore.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Aug 18 2020, 10:56 PM) As expected. Iinm, he said the same thing during his review on S20 ultra exynos. Or is it Mr. Whose the boss? Can't remember which one liao. Still got small part was hoping Samsung did some magic for the exynos to catch up. Was actually considering to upgrade from s20u if it happened  looks like gonna wait and see if sd version comes along at a good price.

QUOTE(spoke @ Nov 10 2020, 07:43 PM) Just stumbled upon this, wondering whether the seller is reliable. RM 3808 for Note 20 Ultra. https://shopee.com.my/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2...3572.7660664656I pulled the trigger on this  was a toss up between iphone and note 20 ultra. But the iphone 12 pro max review quite disappointing especially the camera seems not much difference.

QUOTE(adrnalyn @ Nov 13 2020, 09:10 PM) Replaced the whole lcd screen One to one replacement takes 2wks + Ok lah at least they settled the problem. Samsung phones actually memang known for having mobo problem etc. Used since s7 edge. But the warranty claim is probably one of the most painless imo.

Just received my Note 20 Ultra mystic black today  RM3899 from WOWPhone during 11/11 lazada sales. Initially thought no free gifts as it was not mentioned included anything but surprisingly came with the UV Steriliser wireless charger too.

QUOTE(leongsem @ Nov 17 2020, 04:12 PM) Don't have separate wireless charger, just the uv steriliser which doubles as a wireless charger too. I wasn't expecting any free gifts so it was a pleasant surprise although doubt I'd be using it  might just bundle it together when i sell off my s20U

QUOTE(un_id @ Nov 21 2020, 06:17 PM) I guess no choice then. Naked 😅 Since my tg lifted up few days ago, i've been using this phone totally naked.. today i see a small scratch at the back lol! I've tried my best to handle it carefully but still.. the phone is dem slippery at hands.. nice to see, but not nice to hold.. on Note 9 i complaint samsung should stop making phone too thin, but this is another level even worst. Lol Been using the phone naked without any casing  so unsafe. No choice as i sent my UAG case back to claim as one of the sides not symmetrical  wouldn't have mind if it was some cheapo case but UAG rm100+.

QUOTE(Lupine101 @ Dec 6 2020, 10:19 AM) Planning to get a n20u also. Just out of curiosity, majority of the exynos users do experience short on screen time is it? Or the battery really drops like mad Been using the phone for 3 weeks now. Exynos version. If on 4g LTE, screen 120hz I'm getting around 4 1/2 hours of SOT. If on wifi only then 5 1/2 to 6 hours for me

QUOTE(ch_kee83 @ Dec 13 2020, 04:09 PM) Is it true that Note 20 ultra does not include free silicon casing in the box? And any good recommendation of minimalist type casing that can protect the bulgy camera? Yep no case included. Spigen thin fit is a pretty good case. Thin but enough protection.
