Not sure about AirTel. Jio works fine, I just tried.

Imported it through a friend. I keep changing phones every now and then.. will sell this off in 2-3 days probably. I have pre ordered Z fold 2. :laugh:

1.05L

Its a single SIM phone. It interestingly has FM radio built in. :D

I find it pretty good. Sides aint loose its enough firm. Wont go off on its own and you need to apply some pressure to see the metal side inside. Fit is quite good frankly.

Snapdragon variant is much better IMHO.. no heating even after prolonged gaming sessions or browing. And no stutters anywhere in the UI. In comparison I could notice some micro stutters here and there with the Exynos version. Plus it heated up pretty quickly. Its not like the reviewers say, I would say the difference is quite noticeable even in day to day normal usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
So apparently same price as the India's model. But single variant is interesting. No esim either?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] naieem_ilu:
Nope. Single SIM and a micro SD expansion slot. That's it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Hello..

1. Which model number is it?

2. VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling , Samsung Pay , Google Pay working?

3. Call recording is absent right ?

4. Please show "software information" full screenshot(Settings>About phone>software info).

Thanks.

Did a sketch today... I do not understand why Samsung insists on curved edge screen for the note devices. Its difficult to sketch or draw on the edges. But any way, other than that it's a joy!!

Using the Samsung protective case and loving it.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

However I am looking for a good toughened glass which works well with curved edges. I like the whitestone dome but jts too expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sweet_ashu2001:
I think screenguard is must after breaking my note10+ screen...the phone just slipped from my hand and the screen got cracked....currently using ESR transparent case...thinking of ordering ESR screen protector also as it is cheap compared to whitestone

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

By the way from where we can order whitestone dome glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
They deliver worldwide i guess. Just order from their website.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
I think, Victus glass, whatever the marketing term is, worth it.

One note 20 ultra slipped off my hand from 1st floor while climbing the stairs and dropped on the concrete floor having the impact on the display directly, bounced back a bit, ringke fusion case came off, and dropped again on the bottom corner.

Result: A tiny scratch on the corner and absolutely no other damage at all anywhere. Zero functional issues too as I thoroughly checked.

I think an insurance costing way less, would be worth it for you than buying & importing an expensive whitestone dome that, also, makes the fingerprint unlocking a bit worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sweet_ashu2001:
whatever you said is right but suppose if the screen is broken and you get replace it in insurance. the phone might not work as intended once it opened. Check some youtube videos about replacing screen of such delicated samsung phone, It entirely depends on skill of person who is doing repair. After repair also no body guaranty that phone will be even waterproof,hence i feel that screengaurd is very important.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Mindgrinder:
I agree even i dropped it couple of times no scratch. However i took samsung comprehensive plan, I have burnt my hands with my note 9 screen replacement. Once i got my note 9 repaired from samsung it started giving various problems like charging etc. So its better to take the comprehensive plan as you get extended warranty and as well as protection
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] vijai2011:
Wrong. All authorized Samsung service centers must do full IP testing again after repair if it involves opening the phone/breaking the waterproof seals and they present the results to customers before returning the phone. But yes, even a factory fitted seals are not 100% foolproof/has lot other variables and that is why no manufacturers honor water damage though the phone comes with IP rating
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sweet_ashu2001:
Sorry but i contacted my relatives in samsung...he told me this issue is there....he advice me to not to repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Aijazji:
HI

I am using this from last two days, and its working fine, just look like original

packing is not so good but product is worth in this range.

Fingerprint working fine, front and back both protected very nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] v_square:
Hello Note People!

I’m currently using a Note 9 which is due for a upgrade any moment. I’m really a note person to be honest and was inclined to purchase the Note 20U. But this exynos/sd fiasco held me back from getting one on launch.

Now, as the new iPhone has been launched, I’m starting to realise something. For all these years, I’ve been neglecting iPhones just because android usually offered a better and more flexible experience. But off late, both android and iOS are moving in similar direction and would almost converge one day.

Now, since both the phones, Note20U and iPhone Pro are almost similar in price, shouldn’t I go for a device which offers a far superior chipset to begin with? Anyone else floating in the same boat? Or, anyone regretting the decision to go with the Note?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Another thing stopping me from iphone was their lack of widget support on homescreen (They fixed that with latest update), Android's notification system is still ahead of iOS, one more thing you should consider is getting into their ecosystem, personally for me Android-Windows ecosystem works really well. I am also able to try apps, made by developers who dont have resources to publish on playstore etc. Those things would be tough on iOS and as far as 5nm process is concerned, wait for February-March Samsung would be releasing S21 with 5nm chips, its October already. Whatever you decide phones are for personal satisfaction, I am not as happy with my Note 20 Ultra as much i was with HTC One M7 or HTC HD2 so for me personal happiness matters above what reviewers say or what company advertises.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
Note 20 ultra and iphone similar in price what are you talking bro note 20 ultra you can get it for 85k that's the highest model where as I phone pro max is 1.6lac. if only pro 1.5lac lol iphone.im happy with exynos for these cost will wait for s21.

iphone treats india very differently with price 1500$ in us 2150$ in India for iphone 12 pro max.

and above all apple care pluse 26900 for the 12 months lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kannanX10:
Insane pricing from Apple 128 GB from 129900 and note that no earphones and charger in the box,need to spend extra 5k for them.....if not happy with n20 ultra better wait 3 more months and get S21 with very good exynos chip
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] v_square:
How did you reach to that 85k price point for Note?

Also, I'm contemplating iPhone 12, not pro. Won't be shelling out 35/45k more just for a telephoto lens. This time iPhone 12 is a 99% package compared to Pro variants.

Also thinking of importing a snapdragon variant of Note though. Anyone else got the snapdragon variant here?

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

Not a fan of S series personally. Had a terrible experience with S2, S5 and S9. S7 edge was a decent device though.

And as you said, you're not totally satisfied with the Note 20 purchase. I can feel for you and don't want to end up there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] v_square:
The pricing is truly absurd. Totally agree.

But the only thing I'm concerned about right now is performance. And there is no denying Apple is miles ahead of competition when it comes to silicon engineering.

I've a note 9 right now which was perfectly fine for a year. But off late it started lagging like crazy. Battery has taken a drastic hit, even after claims of Samsung that the batteries being used in these phones would lose only 5 percent charge after a year. And most annoying is the fact that the phone is almost unusable when I turn on my Work profile. I've tried using the same work profile on another Android as well as iPad, with no issues. Oh, not to forget the heating issues in summer. It's hard to even take a call outdoors. Burns like crazy.

So yeah, I would want a phone that doesn't disappoint me in the performance department for at least 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
their is no satisfaction in smartphones always an new better one will come in 6 month in samsung and their trade in and offers are so dirt cheap for any one who buy is so good compare to other brands in India.

Im not disappointed with n20 ultra at all its best in android.just next to snapdragon 865 plus performance that anyone can deal with it considering other awesome features and price from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] v_square:
Good for you ?. But I work in this field and I know samsung's optimization for their SoC is not upto the mark. In isolation, the exynos variant might be a perfect phone. But why would I spend my bucks on a product when I know there's a better product, with same price point(snapdragon).

I've tried believing them for far too long now. Exynos chips show their true color after a year. That's why it's hard for me to settle for another Exy. Hope you understand:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
I think if you prefer performance than iphone is the only go for you its 2 gen ahead in performance of any smartphone.

even if you consider snapdragon variant also can't match apple chip.its 1gen ahead so go for apple 12 pro or pro max

but for me I'll always upgrade in every new Samsung flagship.

so I never face any lag for 6month atleast.just wating for March for new flagship.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
I tried to convert a prepaid Airtel SIM to eSIM and then ended up porting to JIO(prepaid) and then converted to eSIM as Airtel simply declined to register email id against prepaid SIM through IVR despite multiple requests.

When visited Airtel gallery, the response was:

"Only postpaid numbers will get eSIM facility".

Needless to say this is how Airtel wants to retain customers. :eek:

Guys, If I import US Note Ultra, what features will be unavailable in India? Any solution to get them back? My friend will come from US next month, he can bring Snapdragon Note Ultra for me.

Moreover, is it advisable to buy Note now? As S21 ultra launch date is near and I can hear that S21 ultra might come with S Pen functionality. [emoji848]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] RISHI RAJ:
If you don't use spen & prefer rounded corners then go for S21. It'll come in early or mid feb in India.

Also mine is bootloader unlocked where as US version is not.

Was looking for Note 20 ultra for my wife, this time wanted to really try out the Snapdragon variant, so found a store guy here claiming that he has a US snapdragon Note 20U.

I do not have prior exp using phones bought from other countries in India.

I'm well aware of the warranty issues, apart from that wanted these questions answered,

1. Will Volte work? Jio especially.

2. Any other things beyond my knowledge that i need to check?

Or should i forget it and walk straight to the store and buy an Indian variant (ongoing Diwali offers)?

PS: The snapdragon thing is what is really pushing me, 20% better performance on all fronts.

Like the user above said, Android 11 one UI beta 3 appears a bit snappier compared to Android 10. There are UI changes favoring one handed use even better and minor enhancements in camera quality. But if you want to know anything, do let me know.
