jtrogr, 20 Aug 2020Faster charges destroy battery longevity. And if next year samsung introduce faster charger than 25w, what is your excuse?

    It is a mixed outcome but a bit of a letdown. Especially considering the Exynos version here in EMEA and the steep price. And then.. as the review says -
    - either full res or 120Hz
    - the camera setup - why single aperture, lack of AF on Wide? C'mon Samsung would that cost an extra dollar? This the flagship for all the $$$?
    - smaller battery than the S20 ultra - eh?
    I am biased, yes, because I use Note 9. And that one still ticks all the boxes.. there is NO reason to let the N9 go, for this phone.
    Mind you, if the regular Note20 proves to be what the early infos say (a Note for the poor, with just about every flagship feature trimmed), this will be even more absurd, and I don't follow Samsung's market strategy. And price won't justify that either.
    Conclusion: Skip on this generation, if needed, N10+ is the sane option ATM.

      But that 9ms latency is absolutely game breaking. Especially for someone like me who uses the s pen a lot.

        Somehow I feel the quality degraded from the previous version and the cost is still very high.

                            Hi,
                            Can someone enlighten me about this chipset:
                            Octa-core (1x3.00 GHz Kryo 585 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 585 & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 585)?
                            It means, it has three variants or the unit was equipped with these three Octa-core?
                            Thanks

                              Besides Oneplus and Oppo has same display. So, if oneplus has samsung then why not Oppo ?

                                  Hungry Joe, 19 Aug 2020And if it was the case that Samsung provided the exynos to every market then it would be fair ... moreAgree.. In every aspect, Snapdragon version is better than the Exynos version and the difference is not just minor.. Battery, processing power, real life use and even the image processing post capturing a shot is better on Snapdragon version. Samsung's galaxy series is kinda top of Android line-up. I wanted to upgrade my two year old device and would love to get this beast but unfortunately here in India, only the Exynos version is available. I wish Samsung stop this differentiation either by reducing the price or matching the Snapdragon performance instead of making more profit by using Exynos chip.

                                      Nostromo, 19 Aug 2020My initial impression is that the Note20 has a heft to it that almost makes the Note10 Plus se... moreNote 10 is already a very solid phone. Extra $300 for more heft and solidity just doesn't justify it. Spec wise, most people won't notice the difference beyond benchmark number.

                                      I'm a note 10+ exynos user and I already don't know why people need a faster phone than this. I never see the benchmark number, but day to day usage is aleady very fast and snappy. I will keep my note 10+ for at least 4-5 years or more.

                                      Note 30 40 or 50 ultra may possibly reach $1500 at the lowest and $1900 price point. At that time it's time to look for other brand, or just buy note from previous year.

                                      Even at 2020, no phone worths more than $1000, seriously.

                                        I wish the camera island was in the center of the Note20 Ultra just like it is in the center on the Note9.
