I used to have a Samsung and I can't recall the model but I loved it. However, I made a change to an LGTHINQ 2 years ago and honestly loved that phone also. But when I started to look for a new phone last year I did a bit of research on the then new 5g+ and it really appeared to be THE phone. My partner and I each got one and on day 1 we loved it. Now that we are 6 months in, he actually switched to an iPhone (blech) and I am sadly still using this disappointing Samsung 20 5g + nothing but hype phone. The camera on my LG blew this one away and this battery sucks. Sure, I can have a lot of apps on my phone but what good are they if I have a dead battery most of the time. But honestly the camera is a huge deal and this one is hype with so many disappointing shots. I carry my LG with me for pictures just in case I have an amazing photo opportunity that I don't want the Samsung to mess up. The 5G is also hype. I live in dtla and 5g is supposed to be so different but my LG had similar speed and connections and a longer lasting battery. They feel the same as well. I dont know what options I will have in a few months but Samsung has fallen in my eyes and if they don't have a great phone that TRULY delivers not just hype, then I am out. I'd like to be able to safely trust that Samsung will deliver based upon my old Samsung phone from 2018 but this 20plus model has not filled me with any confidence or happiness. Keep looking if you are thinking about this model and u really want a great camera. Specs be damned. My eyes don't lie.

I've been trying to find the yellow wallpaper background show in the review for my own Galaxy S20+.
It would be really cool if someone (including the writers) could guide me in the right direction or find the wallpaper.

Its very hard to place any value in samsung galaxy reviews given they sell completely different products under the same brand label. While car manufacturers may sell V8/V6/4 & hybrid variants in the same chassis they do not pretend they are the same car. If the heart of the machine is different, it is not the same. To pretend computers with different primary components are the same is plainly wrong and an intentional deception on the consumer. So reviewing a Samsung Galaxy products as S20 xyz is just plainly misleading, confusing and deceptive. Do you get a V8 or crank wind up start elastic band heart. Sites should just not review products where the sales marketing and branding are identical but the products are not. If Samsung want to sell a bar of silver with gold plating as a gold bar in some economies they should be called out for their deception it is not the same ans should bot be branded as a gold bar. To avoid confusion review sites such as GSM Arena should cease use of the sales brand labels such as "S20" or "S21" and state only the specific model number of the actual device they are reviewing. Where they do not they only contribute to the marketing deception.. ive used galaxy phones for a decade and the xynos variants have always got uncomfortable hot. You need to change ears every few minutes and know the heats is cooking something in your head. My next phone will likley be a grey import oneplus or sony x5ii, maybe a google as i dont condone samsungs continued deceptive marketing practices and i just want a compact reliable phone that doesn't get so damn hot and one with marketing and reviews that match what is actually delivered in the box

have purchased samsung note 20 ultra. Right from day 1 lot of complaints like heating upto 46 degrees and battery lasting for jus 6 to 7 hrs with minimal usage that too on fhd and 60hz display..moving round service centres and talking to cc with poor response. They want my mobile for verification for 2 weeks its eems to inspect technical issues...when they knew n understand that mobile has issues after inspection why dont they refund. Poor quality mobiles by samsung at huge prices. It seems like samsung downfall began... most unprofessional mobile company. So cheap in its tricks.

I'm the owner of S20 and regarding the cameras - I would have expected more from the zoom camera. It's just mediocre during the daylight and totally useless indoor on at dark. It has benefits such as 64 MPx photos which I find being better than S20 Ultra's 108 MPx.

This high-resolution mode is very beneficial when taking photos from viewpoints. You can zoom in after taking the photo and resolve really, really insane amount of details. Nevertheless, I personally would have appreciated regular x3 tele lens such as S20 FE more. I think x3 (or more) zoom photos is used dozens of times more than high-res.
