- Out of the three of S20 series, S20+ imo, is the "suitable"/"balanced" one.

- It heats up, yes. For normal day to day usage it's not felt much. But then, it touched 44°C in my usage while only on mobile data(without any graphics intensive tasks at all) back in April end, when the ambient temp was approx 35° C. I can't appreciate that especially when some other phones at that moment, didn't do this when I tested. The last time I felt similar was with the S9+ two yrs back. It's not heating up that way btw now, but ambient temp is about 30° now post monsoon and it still does "warm up" a bit sometimes with no load.

At 120Hz & FHD+, the battery endurance is significantly lower than the previous S10+(ofcourse with 60Hz advantage), Note 9... and resembles to S9+ in my usage or a hair bit better - all in my usage pattern(that doesn't change) with same apps and similar settings. High refresh rate kills battery, so does with other smartphones with high refresh rate. Overall the "Exynos saga" you are already aware of!

The Ultra was getting sold for 87, 88k by local small players some 2 weeks back. I believe S20+ can be availed cheap as well. Note 20 Ultra is making some good rounds already, should be WITHOUT custom cores for a relief..

I am using a s 20 ultra for 3 months now..its running absolutely fine and very rarely does it become warm. Samsung is a good buy... OS is super smooth...!!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] kumar abhishek:
Thanks for an excellent response to my query. I really appericiate it. Having used s7 edge and s8+, i only used s9+ for 2 days and sold it off because of the poor performance and never turned to samsung again. Your reply assures me that its the same for s20 series. To corrobrate further, i went to check s20+ personally today and compared it with oneplus 8 pro from my friend. The display was much superior on oneplus 8 pro and while i was just comparing youtube playback at 480p, the s20+ already felt warm, that is when i decided, i am better off samsung. Thanks again for clearing my doubt :)

This perhaps comes down to the binning. You are lucky to have better binned soc resulting in better overall performance. Most of the issues are due to bad binning from samsung 7LPP EUV process and those m5 cores. I wont try my luck with it.

Have been using s20+ since march and at first there were many issues regarding lag/camera/ overheating, but with multiple updates most of them have been fixed and phone is super smooth and camera is just awesome. Regarding heating up phone sometimes get a bit warm but nothing serious.

Same here. I've been using my S20 ultra for 20 days now, no heating or performance issues whatsoever. After about 1 hour of whatsapp video call (on LTE data) it becomes warm but nothing near as hot as my S10+. Btw, 108 mp pics are stunning in daylight! Love this camera!:D

Free ADLD insurance under Samsung Corporate employee email offer

I bought the ultra under samsung's corporate work email employee offer where I Got it for rs 91,313.It had mentioned that the ear buds+ can be redeemed at 3999 under this offer but when I checked my imei in samsung shop app it asked for 1999 for buds+ which I paid and got it.This probably must have happened coz my moth mentioned on the box was april 2020,so probably the introductory offer of buds + offer was applied on my imei.

My querry is about ,under corporate employee offer they are also offering free accidental & liquid insurance for 1 year.But I have not received it yet,has anyone ordered the ultra through corporate email offer and have received the free accidental & liquid insurance?

Funny thing is that when I open samsung shop,it shows that I can purchase free accidental & liquid insurance for 1999Rs.I have still not received the policy on email so I am kind of confused whether to ait or buy the insurance from samsung shop app.

However when I contacted samsung India they asked me to wait for 10 days after which they will email me the policy.

Attaching a screenshot of the offer.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Kiran-Kumar:
One thing the updates have improved is the battery life on 120hz....in the process they completely killed the 96hz tweak, which is fine.

Note 20 ultra looks promising with the leaks....but 4500 mah is a serious downgrade from S20 ultra's 5000.

Leaked prices also does not give confidence, 1449 dollars which should be a lakh in India.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Dpk1:
I can see improvement in overall camera quality of my S20 ultra after the new update (main, ultrawide and especially the zoom!). No focusing issues either (never had any). Front camera used to have random freezes earlier but it's not there anymore! Haven't tried videos yet though. Happy to see Samsung working on their flagship's firmware updates!

100x zoom on ATE6

100x zoom on ATFG

Also, I received my Samsung evo plus 512 gb microsd card a few days ago (ordered through Amazon). No issues here, the sd card feels snappy, no lags or slowdowns noted so far.

Iceuniverse is saying Samsung is going to stick with Exynos 990 for Note 20 series as well instead of 992. With Snap 865+ used in US and Canada, the deficit would be almost 30% between the Exynos and Snapdragon Note 20... disappointed!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Kiran-Kumar:
Exactly...it was a shocker..still hoping that Samsung releases snapdragon in India as well.

I'm very sure Samsung will not commit this blunder....They could as well rebrand 990 to something just to give that placebo effect.

As a worst case if they choose to stick with 990, i wish they do some upgrade to the thermals atleast.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Dpk1:
Less likely imo! They won't bring Snapdragon flagships to India soon. They will continue selling the Exynos powered flagships in India and other countries till the majority of customers stops buying them.

I personally have no issues using the Indian S20 ultra (exynos), even while gaming (1-2 hours of smooth pubg sessions daily)! However, I am totally against this weird business strategy of Samsung to provide different SOCs for a flagship smartphone (under same branding) to customers, depending on their location/region! We will see when/if this strategy changes for good.

Hearing that Samsung is shutting down offices in S.Korea.. that is a worry and a legit reason for delays.

My source in Samsung Mobile India says that they have full intentions to make the Ultra available at the earliest. There are shipment delays due to the virus, but he doesn't seem to anticipate it to effect the deliveries a lot.

His "advice" is to pre-order either via Samsung site or an authorised dealer. Avoid other online portals. I am not sure why he said that.

Anyway, on my persistence he said that it wont be on the 6th March for sure, but he doesn't think it will be as late as the 31st of March.

Vague, but that's what it is as of now.

S20 Plus from Pixel 2xl - Indian Variants - Suggestion Needed

Hi Guys I was searching for genuine reviews of the S20 plus Indian variant and landed on this thread. I am coming from a pixel 2 xl and It has served me very well for past 3 years. But unfortunately my screen broke and it also messed up with my charging port since it has dropped.

I am looking at the upcoming flipkart sale and the price of s20Plus looks tempting. I checked the phone out at Croma and it felt snappy and a delight to hold even though it seemed lil big.

Looking at thoughts on what will I miss coming in from a pixel? Also how has the performance of 20+ improved after updates?

Looking to hold onto the phone for 2 years at least.

My day to day usage mainly is for streaming music and podcasts, lot of pictures, office emails, whatsapp and reddit. I also carry my phone on my runs almost daily, so something that doesnt randomly kill off apps while I am connected to my smartwatch and listning to music is key :) Any feedback and suggestions welcome.
