There it is, we finally found a scenario for which we actually need 16GB - running VMs on the S20 Ultra :laugh:

I've no idea whether they support esim, but my commany don't, they send me a cheap phone which I bin and stick the SIM in my Samsung.

The app inside most is iAuditor which has a lot of photos in each audit , then Google Drive using a lot of shared drives . My work colleagues always moan using the rubbish work phones
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cpufrost:
Imagine the next Fold with 16GB. Open it up and its running iPad OS! :laugh:

But these devices are getting ridiculously powerful. So much in fact that the average social media buff using FB, IG, SC ONLY is like someone buying a Peterbilt to pick up groceries and drive to work. Oh yeah, there are people that do that too! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] katolink:
Other thing just hit me: do future Android major updates (i.e. 11, 12 etc) impact the RAM amount needed? Assuming I keep the phone for 3 years, let's say. And with such Android updates, is it possible that the apps need increased RAM as well to run?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cpufrost:
Unfortunately, hardware improvements will make it obsolete faster so the 16GB RAM does little to future proof anything in that regard. Granted, user experience is approaching the point of diminishing return especially at the top end when prices are considered.

The manufactures realize this and have to come up with ideas to make them more attractive. Folding screens is one area. And it's not something I'm particularly interested in personally.

I do miss the IR blaster though, wish it would come back as well as some of the health sensors and UV sensor. Humidity sensor cannot really be used with IP rated devices. A built in FLIR camera would be nice. ;)

A physical notification indicator inside the speaker at the edge would be nice. A totally behind the screen camera is probably a ways off. Some interesting designs with pop up front facing cameras have emerged.

Instead of a folding phone, one with a display on the back using the main camera for selfies and a true multi dimensional aka secure face unlock would work for me. When you pick your phone up in the dark and it doesn't (unlock), just flip it around! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] nite2k:
Get the samsung upgrade option where you can upgrade to the new galaxy every year that's the best for future proofing

I had a note 8(my first ever note) and absolutely despised the spen and never used it. I know total note fanboys who love it, but they also never use it. I will never have a note again just because of the pen. I can type way faster than spen, I dont draw on mobile(which isnt real drawing) and I have my hp spectre 360 for signing pdf docs.

I am open minded tho, please tell me (aside from slightly upped specs) whats so great about the note and why its a good thing to have the spen?

Just a question- what mobile apps use that much ram?

I saw a locksmith once program a keyfob for me with a old ass tab 3 lol and it took like 45 mins for the app to load and update. What other apps use alot of ram?

When will we get ssd for mobile? That would be badass- a ssd microsd.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] _Dennis_:
Honestly you don't sound open minded, I like using it for taking notes in impromptu meeting (not enough that I don't switch to other phones).

Lots of apps use lots of RAM, Facebook is an example of an app that uses significant amounts (or it did, I haven't used it in a few years).

SSD won't be small enough for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Paul_Deemer:
The thing you shouldn't be comparing is 12gb vs 16gb Ram on the Ultra models. I know what your thinking! Yeah I'll just save me $200 and add a MicroSD card. But then look what those 512gb and 1tb MicroSDs actuallly cost.

Plus not all games run well or even can be fully installed on MicroSD cards. Plus they will never be as fast as internal storage. So for $200 extra you get another 384gb super fast storage and 4gb extra ram as a bonus.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
Of course that 384GB UFS3.1 is better than 384GB MicroSD but if you buy an A2 U3 V30 or even a bit slower card you wont notice any lag while gaming or recording...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Limeybastard:
16gb ram is eye candy. Bigger numbers sells devices especially when the prices are so inflated.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Icycookies:
I am getting the one with 512 GB because I sometimes forget to back up pictures/videos or just use up a lot of memory. Also, the 16 GB is just icing on top of the cake
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mys3:
16gb ram for bragging rights mainly. Cant see many feeling the benefit outside of that
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dlads:
Both of the variants will still have a swap file, which is pointless and will be the first thing I remove.

Have read many times that having more ram will increase power usage. So unless you need really need 512GB of storage then I'd opt for 12. Time will tell when we have some SOT times up.

Unless something has changed in Android, there or little too no point besides breathing rights to have 16GB of ram in a phone, little to no point to have 12 in all fairness.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] katolink:
Isn't that counter-intuitive? More RAM means less swap/less need to reload apps in memory/less processing operations, so power usage should theoretically decrease. At least in my book, perhaps I am wrong. Not proficient in this matters. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dlads:
Lol install ramtruth and you tell me if your device has a 2-3GB swap file in use.

More hardware = more power unless they've done some work on making it more efficient, which I doubt considering they couldn't get the camera (their selling point) right.

You'll never hit 10GB of ram usage. Let alone 12 or in fact 16. As I said unless they've tweaked it for this hardware configuration, OnePlus didn't, and neither did any OEM i know of.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dlads:
See the part that says Swap? That's a page file..

I've got the P20 Pro currently and it has 6GB of ram. I have no need for a swap file, but unfortunately can no longer root it, so I'm stuck.

Regardless of the extended ram amounts. I'd put money on there being a swap file on the S20 ultra, both variants.

When I did root my pro, the speed increase was immediately evident. The launcher was smoother, gaming was like it was a different handset.

I wish this wasn't true but it is..

Soon as I get my device I'll show you what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] SyCoREAPER:
I voted for 16GB because if you are spending that much on a phone already, might as well go all the way.

You are future proofing yourself and the less the memory needs to be written to the less power consumption (theoretically). With that said 12GB is plenty, but I would go for 16GB just because.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dlads:
I've never lived with more than 8 myself but once I read about the power overheads Vs the benefits I was hesitant to go with the 12GB variant of the phone I was on at the time (OnePlus 5 plus the McLaren version which was 12GB)

I get what you mean about future proof but I've never seen a device use more than 6GB so not sure if it'll ever be even used rather than needed.

Plus after 2 years I won't have this phone.

Hopefully Samsung finds a way to spread workloads across ram so it's utilized but I think that's wishful thinking.

Will test Vs a 16 once I get my phone.

Personally I think we'll both be fine
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Virgo_Guy:
The one with 16 gigs will boot half a second faster - would be the only real life difference I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dlads:
I don't think it will y know.

I think only the first 9GB maybe 10 will be used.

I hope you're right tho, I hope they have some kind of algorithm to max the ram and utilize it to its potential. Otherwise what's the point.

Swap needs to be off tho man, no idea why every OEM leaves it on.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Limeybastard:
That's a good point. But what's your definition of "future proofing"? You're planning on keeping the handset for 12 to 23months? If so it means nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
From my experience over the last 6 days, I could not overcome the 8/9GB threshold. My daily usage are social media apps, browsing, HIFI Streaming from Tidal, youtube, mails, tingling with settings, being connected to Watch and Buds+ etc. As soon as I started Asphalt 9, locked it in the memory, the phone freed up the memory and it was at 8GB again. Oh and just for the record, Asphalt hat to load again a bit even though I activated that option to hold it for a quick start.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Zaphon:
So I got my S20 Ultra at T-Mobile 2 days ago. And have been reading about all the specs, and went into developer options to look at RAM and it only showed 11 GB instead of 12. So I started installing other apps, and they all show the same as the image I have posted, about 10.5GB of RAM. Is 1.5GB reserved for something? I haven't found any threads discussing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] buddy66:
Android system reserves around 1.4/1.5GB on S20U. Here is a screenshot from RAM Truth and onboard RAM Management:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ProBoner:
Not sure if this means anything to anyone but I used smart switch to transfer 95% of the apps from my Note10+ (12GB) to the S20 Ultra (also 12GB) and when I use the samsung built-in "device care" widget to kill apps, the note shows over 7GB free and the Ultra shows under 5GB. Not sure if it's hardware or simply software optimizations needed, but there isn't a lot of free RAM on the S20U

Beta 2 will theorically will let you run strictly on 60hz and will run you back to 120 whenever you open an app that you desire to be refreshing at 120

Needed

Patient

Knowledge on how to run adb commands until there's root.

If it isn't being force on let's say Gmaps but it is set to 120hz most likely it will drop down to 60 to save battery. And this can happen with other apps as well.

Please enjoy and report back.

Hi. Just bought a new plantronics headset, Voyager 521. I use Telus as a provider, HTC P4000.. I can't connect them together. I've enabled bluetooth on the phone, do a search for devices, and it doesn't find it.

It should

Download the profile and import to tasker

Pick which apps you want to run in each and you're good to go.

That being said I installed kodi and it seems like 120hz.

Easy to tell 120 from 60.

I don't think worth running video playback apps in 120 as video won't run in 120 anyway.

Someone said it does and they're wrong. It seems to run at about 15-30fps, just verified on my Pixel 4XL.

Places where this is evident are any in-app animations, for example if you tap on your blue location dot, it will animate to fill the screen with blue. Or if you search a location and tap its card, it will animate to pull the card up. Or you can just fling the map around. There's no way anybody with decent vision can confuse this with 60fps let along 120fps.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] chieco:
Hi Kev,

first of all thank you for the thread's and tasker profile regarding the 120Hz tingz!

The 120Hz experience on the S20 line imho is ULTRA disappointing!

Not the Display itself but more the way stupid Sammy implemented it Software wise.

First disappointment, the limitation of only FHD+

but this was known even before the S20 line was officially announced so I actively decided to look pass that. Even though most people say FHD+ is enough and you don't see any pixels or whatever, I have to say coming from a S10 with a smaller display and and higher dpi, I do notice how much softer the image quality on the S20+ is! It's noticeably less sharp.

The Second disappointment no one warned me about is the fact that half of the apps revert back to 60Hz!!!

No one told me this! and I ****ing hate this. Maybe I was naive, maybe it's the fact that I had no experience with a phone that has a high refresh rate display, but to my understanding if I set my phones display to 120Hz, everything, the UI and all apps would be displayed @*120Hz! But no! this already is like on the leaked Firmware Screenshot wich shows the "Dynamic" option in the middle! :( it's not locked.

Just shows again how important root is. The ability to take control of the device you own and not giving control to stupid Sammy dev's...

Your method with tasker works fine, but I had no experience with tasker prior and I only using it during it's trial period. After the trial ends, I'm not going to buy the full version.

Is there maybe a adb command that can globally set the phone to a fixed 120Hz refresh rate? Since I don't need a per app selection.

again thank you for this tasker profile so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Rusher:
Thanks for the profile! But there is one issue: it's works only once for my S20, then after launching few apps refresh rate drops to 60Hz ((( Even rebooting my phone doesn't help (
