during these tough times, lots of people are out of jobs, recession and phone makers still dare to price it so high. Removing all those free things from the package. Forcing people to go out and buy.
Samsung is selling the adapter for $20.

you are not the target market. no one is blaming LV or BMW coming with new models and higher price. the premium market will buy because they can afford it.

Honestly la .....samsung phone quite durable . Now I still using Galaxy Note8 (i think costed me roughly RM3.8k) the only issue I have is

1.No updates (Still One UI 1.0)
2. Screen kena burnt in due to previous auto brightness issue
3. Storage is small la that time only get 64gb
*
Yeah im still on note 9. Still running fine and i love the video output.

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Jan 15 2021, 02:13 PM)
honestly just wait for benchmarks between Exynos and SD

with the shit going on with Exynos last year, and Samsung seem to make promises with Exynos 2100 this year, we will see if shit will hit the fan again

or Samsung will shut up all the haters for once
*
one of the main reason i didnt upgrade to note20 is the under performing exynos . Hopefully the new chip catches up to snapdragon, i might buy the s21 ultra or wait for note 21 ( if samsung didnt kill it la )

Hi guys, new to the forum. I wanna ask how many N20U users considering upgrading to S20U now that is has an S-pen?

Is it even worth upgrading or wait for next note?
*
Wait for the next note - the s21 S pen support & latency is not as fast or smooth compared to an actual note. If you come from note, you will be pissed at the lag.

i got try online see youtube
note 20 ultra vs iphone 12 pro max camera
seem like laser focus all is ok
but when at night
the auto focus lose to iphone 12 pro max
*
If you want a good camera, go buy a camera la... no point spending so much on a phone that costs over 4k just for the camera.

Most tech reviewer logic:
If Galaxy image is brighter than the iPhone, they will say Galaxy is overexposed. If it's the opposite, Galaxy is crushing the details in the shadows.

If iPhone image is oversaturated, they will say the picture is "colorful" or "vibrant". If Galaxy image is realistic, they will say it has "pale" colors.

Heck, even this year's Galaxy portrait has more detail than the beautified image of the iPhone.

Currently using iPhone 12, I can confirm the face filter is really aggressive. iPhone fans can't accept this fact and insist iPhone images are "natural".

Frankly, the gap between samsung and apple flagship when it comes to pictures/portrait - it's negligible .... no point in comparing at all. Where Samsung needs to improve is really the video department, where instead of cramming in a useless 8k 24p, they should improve the overall video output. This is the one thing that i hope samsung can improve quick ( and also allow us to remove all samsung related apps + bixby in the process) .

I'm still using my note 9 , battery tak boleh harap already after 2 years as im a very heavy users ( Bluetooth, GPS, streaming ) but i have to say it's still one of the best phone i've used!! I didnt get the note 20 ultra as the exynos performance is not that great for the asking price....

Actually, all flagship phones (even Chinese brands) already have excellent image quality. I just find it funny that people think iPhone images are natural when it's not.

On the contrary, recent Galaxy flagship phones have great video. The HDR video of iPhone 12 is relatively inferior than the HDR video of Galaxy phones. Again, all flagship phones have at least good video quality.

What Samsung needs to do is stop adding a lot of camera features because they are being criticized for it. They should just make some apps/features optional and let the users decide if they wanna add them via PlayStore or Samsung Apps store.
*
1. China branded phones have caught up but still not quite there. I can't stand the colour OS being used especially in Oppo phones.
2. samsung video OIS is still not as great as iphone la... let's not kid ourselves here. i actually have to use gimbal to stabilize my video shots on my note 9 yo

I am on 3.5 yrs s8
Battery drain like hell when online
But would you wait for note 21 (maybe the last ever note series?)
*
Most handphone batteries needs to be replaced after 2 years due to daily charging and discharging. So you need to change your battery la
Yes i will buy the last note in the series.

I got Aukey but it can't give samsung super fast charging when xharging my N20u.. there are a few charger types, how to know which one is for samsung super fast charging? Can advise please
*
Question - what cable are you using ? you have to use those that handle the wattage la ..... and also.... aukey 65w charger only works if it's through their PD output, cannot charge 2 device at 1 time, they will split the 65w to 2 devices instead of 1 .

Rog 3 is a beast. Less than s21 ultra spec like normal s21 no match for rog 3 except camera. It is called spec king for a reason.
*
Yes but ROG3 screen is not nice wei..... if they can copy the vivid colours on a samsung ... i will buy the ASUS ROG. i literally held the rog 3 on my hand and compared it with my note 9, just can't bring myself to seeing the screen on a daily basis.
