I bought one of these in The Philippines, on-line, through Lazada, nice phone to look at, beautiful colour, looked everywhere for a case for it and finally found 1 at E Mall in Cebu City, which seemed a shame to cover up the Ocean Blue colour.on or about the 15th day of service the phone started to reboot itself . Hummm I thought this was odd so I went to Samsung store run by Junrex in Ayala where it was thoroughly investigated and determined that it was in need of open heart surgery or a transplant, however due to its age, no donors where available for transplant. After another day, the good people at Junrex where able to get a letter of authorization from SAMSUNG to give that man a new phone. However Lazada claimed that was not how they do business and requested the phone be shipped to them via LBC where it was inspected and apparently lost so after about 3 months of arguing with these people, they tell me I am to have my money refunded as I'm now in my home country, I will have to wait til I return to The Philippines I notice this phone has now been reduced from 10990 to 6990, if even available. I'm curious as to whether this was an isolated case,or are others having problems too?

Review:
Pros
Good rear cameras, i never use wide angle
Awesome battery (2 days)
Weight , shape, Its amazing , doesnt feel bulky and is perfect size
Display. Its sharp, and good colors. I have always like IPS over AMOLED, i like natural colors
Loud Speaker, is the best ....love it. Music all day. best compared to others.
battery charging time only 1.5 hrs full charge
Cons:
Lags, yes, less lag but its still there...if you have used Redmi note 5, 4 or 3......this is no where close (Always buy snapdragon) Go for m40
Selfie camera is bad. below average
C port USB....need extra usb cables and chargers... all over the house/office/friends place....as old USB cables and old chargers wont work. Transition to C type.
DOnt update......PIE is bad. OREO is better. Stay on oreo.
NON durable....if falls , screen breaks easy and new one costs 4000 plus.
If you used redmi note series , dont come to samsung........you will feel bad later.
But other people totally can buy this !

Pubg is very laggy on this phone. Touch is not so accurate when playing pubg mobile. Even after installing GFX Tools, PUBG lags. This phone is only good for basic usage. Signal is very low in this phone in indoors and One UI lags from time to time. Not so smooth. I wasted money in this phone.

Phone battery is depend on Display type and big capacity. not processor. Samsung M20 is better than M40 for long time battery usage.
Samsung is always best in the world. We like Samsung.

The Galaxy M20 is an excellent mid range smartphone from Samsung, I got the Android Pie ONE UI update recently (May 2019), the phone looks and feels so much better now, I also get frequent security updates, the device is super useful so I can proudly say that I am a very very satisfied M20 owner 😎 for it's price tag this is a super-phone! ... I can record FHD videos in HEVC format, play heavy games comfortably, multitasking is smooth enough, the Ambient light, Proximity, Accelerometer, Compass and Gyroscope are all very good, GPS, GLONASS, Baidu and even GALILEO Satellite navigation is available, that's a PLUS !!! ... Somehow the battery overheats while 2G/3G/4G data is turned ON which is not good at all so I prefer WIFI internet it keeps the phone's temperature cooler, the two rear cameras are good but not the best, selfie front cam is ok with a SCREEN FLASH which is another PLUS for me, battery lasts for about a day when heavily used, charging is pretty fast, FM Radio has RDS data .... Lots of good things about this device especially when you have the right apps on it but future updates should really focus on the system CAMERA APP, we need the timelapse option and we need improved HDR ! .... Thank you Samsung for making this wonderful affordable smartphone and PLEASE keep the device up to date, safe and improved, it has a lot of potential.

Greetings. I'm from Middle East. Iran . A week ago i bought this phone with 4/64 gig configuration. i did not update it to android pie till 2 days ago. the first update to 9 was a huge step and had alot of issues. Then a 110 MB update showed up right afterwards and Tada.. Issues were gone and no bullshits so far.
the Battery takes me for 24 hours tops. Cuz I'm heavy net user and ofc using the phone simcard net for gaming.
i got ALL of the games on this phone
World of Tanks Blitz
Gangstar Vegas
World War Heroes
Real Racing 3
PUBG Mobie
Shadowgun Legends
Shadow Fight 3
Modern Combat Versus
Asphalt 9
Asphalt Xtreme ( I LOVE this one for its more realistic stats)
Usually each 2 or 3 match you do in any of above games take 1~2 precent of Battery.
it is best to use this phone with Wifi to gain advantage of its battery.
the reason behind its high usage of battery is the CPU which is NOT that much efficient ONLY FOR gaming.
but it can keep alot for simply standby or Camera or anything that is NOT gaming.
oh and if you were wondering if this phone survives for a Day in your hands as a Heavy user , i must say that it will and it has good apps to control and monitor what is going on.
In case anyone had questions about this unit Either ask rightaway here or PM me in telegram

the lps screen consumes alot of power compared to super amoled of A30 , A50 and M30
