Officially not release yet for our region. You can download the firmware at sammobile and flash it using odin if you want.

Do not update to android 12 now, DO NOT UPDATE
I just updated, it'll lag when scrolling between apps

Formatting doesn't help, seems like a bug

-------------------------------------------------------

Seems to fix itself after hrs of continuous usage, probably recalibrating something?

Is anyone still using the old 15w fast charger on the Note 20 Ultra? How's the charging speed when compared with the 25w charger?

Was thinking whether it is time to replace the note 20 as the battery kinda sucks already. Should I get s21 with snapdragon 888 or s21 FE with exynos or iphone 13 ?

or wait a few more months to see any more nice deal?  tongue.gif

my screen on time lesser than 5 hours now. Morning charge and by end of the day need charge again which I only do the next day.

getting worse since last update. tried clear partition cache but no effect too this round.

One of the reasons of Battery drain fast due to connection in my area too all the while.

Same as mine then, unplugged at 7am
Battery dropped to around 20~30% at evening

So tempting to replace this phone, but local shop told me they won't take Samsung phone for their low resale value...

How's the battery life on the exynos version for you guys?
I've been struggling to get over 5hrs of screen on time on my 20U... 2 recharges per day is a must
And the phone's signal reception is quite weak, comparing to my note 9 Snapdragon.

It is so underwhelming for a phone with such a big battery, kinda tempting to swap it with a Snapdragon version... But local shops doesn't wanna take Samsung phones as they're harder to sell as secondhand than Apple...
I've given up using 20U as my primary, old 11p get can 7hrs easily
I'm using Digi, only getting 1 bar indoor while my old Note 9 can get full...


QUOTE(teikboon @ May 14 2022, 10:42 AM)
Same here for 5 hours screen time but since I work from home, one day still achievable

Yeah, disappointing right? For a phone with this big of a battery.

Good to know. Thanks!

Been using the phone as my main media consumption and gps for a couple of months. No dust or condensation in the camera module. But dust do accumulate beside the module when using a case…

S8G1+ does look promising. Ill be very interested if they release a note with it even if its fe.

For now looking at how the note20ultra price fluctuates. Waiting for mid year sale or 8.8 or end year sale.

Dont get any phone that's running Exynos...
Even a Bomoh is able to summon a chipset that's better than Exynos with bamboo and coconuts...

Anyone having poor accuracy warning when using Google map on note 20u? Tried the figure 8 calibration method, doesn’t seems to do anything

What is the dimensions of the note 20 ultra and note 20 at the camera bump? Does it make a difference? Planning a flat case.
*
Note 20U is a bit bigger, and the camera bump is big enough to prevent it to be able to use flat on the desk.
I got both Note 9 and Note 20U, latter is significantly bigger when holding in hand...you can also feel the difference when it is in your pocket.

Is anyone here using Yes 5G with Note 20 Ultra?
Still not on the official support list, but my area 4G is so congested that I'll need to give 5g a go...

Yeoh Tiong Lay's 5G will hypothetically cum to the Galoxxx Note20 5G series by Febuary 2023 when A13 is OTA-ed as well...

Da heck, when the older Mate series already supported 5G in Malaysia...
My relatively new N20U wouldn't cut it??? Unbelievable

Not satisfactory...

Very bad price
Sold my 2nd hand 11pro 256 to them
Quote me 1.5k in app (I was really honest when filling up the DMG report)

One scratch at the side pretty much cut 500 off, another cut it down to 600...

Yeah... Ended up getting only 600 back from a phone I purchased for 2.3k on shopee...

And they'll sell it for 2k+ on compasia as in "perfect condition"
