Was the only time I skipped updating my phone. See my S7 was -literally- better. I never understood found in it.

S21 (comoread to S20) seems to be similarly bad (as S8 was to S7), less features. Barely an upgrade, mostly a downgrade.

    Although the tech is good, it just didn't provide the benefits most people were hoping for.

      I am getting 9-9.5hr SOT with 1080p+@120hz & 7.5-8hr SOT with QHD+@120hz.
      Where am I sacrificing battery?
      Even after repeated endurance rating tests on different HRR smartphones, you guys still come up with lies to justify your ancient 60hz screen.

        gogus, 06 Jan 2021i bet my ass if i give you 2 identical phones, one with full hd and another with 2k resolution... moreThe difference is noticeable but only if you look for it. After using 1080p+ resolution for a few days, one gets used to it.

        On my OP8 pro, I downgrade from QHD@120HZ to 1080p+ to get that extra 1-1.5hr SOT.
        Resolution bumps up automatically when QHD content is playing like in Videos or YouTube.

                      Runs smooth, look beautifully timeless and doesn't seem out of place when compared to 2020 phones.

The fact that Note 20 Ultra managed to last a bit longer (1 hour more in GSMArena's web browsing test) than S20 Ultra despite having 10% smaller battery capacity easily proves its effectiveness.
