So you got it working already?

This is what I always fear. It's always very hard to find a TG that can still allow the fingerprint reader to work reliably after applying. From what I heard from last gen S20, only Whitestone Dome works well with fingerprint reader.

Yaya, now the VoLTE appear next to signal bar...

anandtech conclusion



- both sd888 and ex2100 are first-gen designs, not optimizing X1 cores. but ex2100 even less so.





as of now, both sd888 and ex2100 are lacking behind the kirin and bionic.
the smart money would wait for another year at least before qualcomm improves their design and couple more years before samsung chips can catch up.

Nah many said it didnt work also, hit and miss
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Ultra-Do...iews-filter-bar

do you know the oldest day that how we doing benchmark on PC? this kind of benchmark could foreseen upcoming year usage its not only for current
30fps vs 27fps is extreme different for sensitive person and many reason. >6%-10% performance are big leap.

overall result is out, even actual game testing snapdragon out-beat exynos even long gaming hour... you can denied it or excuse it but it is what it is and be happy what you bought. some youtuber try using 2.5D game showing that exynos better then snapdragon but that is terrible comparison because 2.5D/2D game consume cpu (exynos have better cpu) power way more then 3D game.

cmon, make sure understanding tech before making false disclaim.

spigen is better option

Spigen is not TG which is probably why it works.

Very difficult to recommend now since this phone just been released. You should have kept the original SP preinstalled with the phone which has been optimized to work with the fingerprint.

Anyone here actually considering Xiaomi Mi 11?

The original one is just a thin plastic layer, not optimal for long term use. Anyway tempered glass doesn't work because of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

At least the thin plastic layer can still give some protection alongside the gorilla glass victus

That's bad. TG doesn't seem to work reliably then. I've never liked soft type screen protectors anyway but the stock film is actually pretty decent.

Any justification to consider this phone apart from the cheaper price?

I do feel that there are few reasons why the Pre-Order via Samsung Online Store is getting delayed
1) DHL took longer time to process the order.
2) Not enough ready stock to fulfill the Pre-Order due to MCO

I suspected that most of the stocks was delivered to Partners or Telco like Courts, SenHeng, SenQ which they delivered earlier that actual date.
Perhaps the demand for the direct order via Samsung Online Store is more than their partners thus the stocks not enought to furfill.


I noticed something on the arrangement of delivery from Samsung Online Store.
For those who pre-order earlier was delivered by DHL eCommerce, and those who Pre-Order later was delivered by Pickupp.

Those who click on the url in the order page provided by Samsung probably have seen this screen .



Probably those delivery were screwed up by DHL, thus Samsung SDS swapped to another Courier (Pickupp) instead.

Just my assumption and from what i read and see here and from the experience of my friend who did pre-order with Samsung Online Store.

have to face the fact new phones with very slight screen curve and under screen fingerprint scanner is almost impossible to find a full working Tempered glass screen protector

I have a feeling Samsung official store ships directly from another country thats why its slow...whereas SenQ, Maxis etc they ship from that country early beforehand.

That's the most plausible explanation, especially on the part where they have not enough stocks to fulfill the demand which is higher than Samsung's expectation.

Original Samsung 25w charger can't reach 25w also. Charge between 18w to 19w.

got an email from shop@samsung, saying it has been packed waiting for courier to pick up. also on website got updated to preparing dispatch. got that dhl tracking number too but they haven't update yet in tracking. haih
