If you were previously using a Nexus & never activated Volte on your Sim, then it needs to be enabled by Airtel, send them an email at 121@airtel.com to enable Volte & Vowifi both for your sim. Although they enabled it for all in the past, your sim might've been left out as it wasn't supported on your device & you might need a new sim if you're still using a very old one.

Lucky S20+ guys.....getting it early :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
Weird..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Kiran-Kumar:
Just today I was thinking of considering S20+ after the Ultra camera review by Danny Winget and Ultra's waiting period.... and this dropped. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
It was also known that S20/S20+ are superior when it comes to super slow-mo.

Unless those not-so-useful super-zooms are required, S20+ could be a fine choice camera/design/price wise ..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Kiran-Kumar:
But I still feel we should always go for the top of the line offering as there is always room for Samsung to update its software processing overtime as the necessary hardware is already there.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
True, unless there's hardware-limitation that will prevent "fixing" :)

We also know Samsung paid similar attention to S10e/S10/S10+ when it comes to software fixes and improvements(wherever possible). So I think S20/S20+ shouldn't be ignored by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
Read/saw this on YT quite a lot.

Makes me think the 19k premium for the ultra may not be worth it after all. I definitely don’t want to see potholes on the moon with the “space-zoom” got enough of those on Mumbai roads anyways.

Only thing that irks me is the 8GB RAM. Should have gone with 12GB across the board for India also.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
The Ultra is overhyped for sure. It also has ISOCELL censors - censors that historically performed lower than Sony IMX in the same Samsung models. It's the "ZOOM" that Ultra is mostly about and is so proud of :o

I find 12 gigs "overkill" too. :).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
Hmmm yeah if you take zoom out of the equation and the less RAM, the + might be a good one. At least UAG has cases available so that makes it easier for me :D

I’m almost about to pull the trigger on the “downgrade”
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] PG101:
TBH, I am excited about the zoom. And finally a bigger Sammy without the annoying S Pen.

I am a sky watching enthusiast. I have a nice Celestron 6SE telescope as well. There are many times where I wish I had that kind of zoom for a quick location of an object and then align the telescope.

Now, with the Ultra I get the zoom and also the "phone".
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Kiran-Kumar:
Planning to cancel my pre order...visted Samsung Cafe, played around with S20 plus for a while....I just couldn't find any diff between an A series(51) phone which was kept besides. Also the 120hz screen, nothing to rave about. 90hz on the OnePlus also felt mediocre previously.

The flat screen makes it all the more obvious...disappointing Samsung.

Also the offers for S20 plus like the buds for 2k and other bank offers are just about the same for the Ultra as well.

73k vs 93k

Despite paying a premium price what is Samsung conveying here?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] paras:
I would suggest wait and buy after some months. Not worth to buy flagship right away this year.

The thing that s 10 lite,note 10 lite as well as the a series have killed the s 20 series i think.

I will hold my s 10 plus on which i took extended warranty as well yesterday.

Sent from my iPhone 11 Pro Max
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
"The upgrade" from the S10 series to the S20 series is pretty minimal, and would be nothing exciting for the majority currently using the immediate predecessors, IMO.

Imo, something like the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro with SD SoC, Adreno GPU, OOS, 5G(there are several users who would get to test 5G way before commercial release) would overall offer a pretty competitive and in some cases - a better product(excluding the camera, if at all) for a much lower price. Here I'm keeping IQOO 3, X50 Pro etc. aside for "distinctive" reasons..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] PG101:
I'm all set.. just need the phone now :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] PG101:
They probably have a bad unit. I have seen and read some rave reviews of the zoom capabilities. They are amongst the only very few who are criticising the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
In 2x zoom,

At 2x native with a bigger f/2.1 aperture in the Note 10+, I will not be surprised at all if the Ultra is losing at 2x (4x native) with a smaller f/3.5 aperture.

Hi

I'm thinking of upgrading to s20+ from s10 512gb

Can anybody help me by checking in my galaxy app, what price it is showing for s10.

I cannot check myself as my phone is rooted and mygalaxy app doesnt work even with magisk hide.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
Sold my 10+ already. The store told me no exchange bonus offers this time. Sucks and weird. Absolutely nothing to draw in prospective clients. They must have started thinking they’ve become the fruit-company.

Visited Samsung cafe. Chkd s20 plus for 15, 20 minutes and didn't feel like it is even necessary 2 upgrade. Sammy executives kept forcing 2 book the ultra by paying 2k but I didn't. :D

https://twitter.com/GadgetsBoy/status/1232739778711490562

Hopefully its due to the 5G modem and not coz of the 120hz screen :D

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

The store guy here told me that they might come up with the exchange/cashback offers before the release date and the same happened for Note 10 release as well, wer they announced these bank offers few days prior to the sale date. (Can somebody confirm this?)

Not sure how far it is true, coz I did not pre-book Note 10+ and the offer was already there when I got it in Sept 19.

Did not happen for S10+ as well, the offer was announced the day they started pre-booking.

Thing to note - S10 lite and Note 10 lite which are much cheaper phones still have upgrade offers.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pankajgavri:
I just came from samsung store

Final offer given to me

68000 for s20+

7000 for buds buyback

And 32000 for my s10.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
The Exynos SoC as a whole it seems! So not in a "safe zone" irrespective of what modem is inside I think.

I just got an indication that there maybe "limited" stock available on the 14rh itself. So if your store guy knows you, he can reserve one for you.

I've already asked mine.. and he will, if they get any stock.. I bought my first smartphone from him back in 2005 and since then have bought all the phones from him.. family and mine..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
My store guy will keep one piece for me even if only one piece comes. Says a lot about their knowledge/confidence/competence when you hear this at an official Sammy outlet ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] paras:
Lol bhai.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
Looks like Joshua forgot to talk about overbrightening, oversmoothening, autofocus, portrait mode, ulrawide issues etc. that The Verge, CNET, AndroidCentral, Sara Dietchy, The Tech Chap, gsmarena etc. are vocal about..

-- but these, if not all, are fixable and Samsung will do that.

On the endurance, reviewers using the Exynos variants are mostly saying the batterylife is not good at 120Hz and not upto the mark even when using at 60Hz, 1440p, trailing behind the S10+ itself. We don't have to trust every reviewer but amongst them, a few are pretty reliable. Quick performance throttle, substantial heating under load are evident as well this time too with the Exynos.

I've had all the "S" flagships and I'm somehow failing to get myself convinced this time around with the Ultra, especially when I'm trying to find a good balance of what's on paper and their real world translations..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sasha8200:

Due to this ongoing "supply issue", availability of Ultra would be on April even when being prebooked. Early pre-bookers will get early, but it's true that there is a delay.

The sales are not high & the current offline/online unavailability is due to supply issue only for the Ultra.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
These stores prebook from their uncountable phone numbers with their own "created" credentials. So there shouldn't be delays for the early takers atleast.

Add to it the cancellations/non-buyers. Also, the supply issue might get resolved as there are still several more days to have plenty.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lycan_codex:
As expected, and according to earlier rumours., The exynos performance is worse. Gsmarena shows battery life is worse than Note 10+ on 60 Hz/2k resolution. Even the endurance is pretty mediocre. I hope everyone makes some noise about the exynos soc. Throttling and poor standby is just too bad. I preordered, but now wanna look at buying the Snapdragon variant. I am pretty sure GSMarena would have got a poor binned soc. I have poor numbers for CPU binning for my note 10 and it is mediocre in terms of battery and standby
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] paras:

How do you guys bargain during the prebooking period?

I was looking to upgrade to the Ultra from the Note10+ but the 128GB limit (downgrade from 256GB on my phone) is a huge deterrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
I’m curious as I have seen exactly this happening at the Sammy outlet for years. They always prebook using their own numbers. I can’t even pay the prebooking amount of 2k by card. It HAS to be cash. Even after prebooking I continue to get sms every year leading up to the launch date stating “Prebook your galaxy now”. Clearly it means the system does not have any preorder against my name/number.

How does this make a difference though? If you could clarify that’ll be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] PG101:
You must insist that they give you a confirmation. I have an SMS from the Samsung shop stating that i have booked one with a reference number, which is essentially my mobile number.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] twisted_mind:
They give me a receipt generated in excel. But that’s about it. Has always been that way since 2015. Never had issues with stock or getting a day early than retail launch. Just find the whole thing weird.

What I find shady is the staunch refusal of accepting cards for preorder token amounts. I asked sternly this time why can’t card be used. They started mumbling something like “system doesn’t allow card payments” :D ?

I was ready to walk out but they baited me with google pay transfer option. Will not even let that next time onwards.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sunny1119:
I cancelled the preoreder done from samsung site after they introduced additional 5k bonus for upgrade. I went to a croma store and prebooked from there again giving 2k and confirmed that i will get additional 5k discount for the upgrade. I also paid the 2k via card only , no issues whatsoever.

I also got a confirmation msg from samsung that your phone is prebooked under reference number as my mobile number, i got both receipt in physical and on email for the same.
