Did you also get an SMS with it? Also what date does it show you as "free delivery by"?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Got a whatsapp message. Delivery starts 25th and free delivery by 28th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Cool. Thanks. Mine isn't packed, no message about it. Says free delivery by 29th.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
When did you book?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
aug 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
I guess they are shipping based on when someone booked. Makes sense. Surprised to see that you are in Karnataka and it is shipped from Gurgaon. Normally for Karnataka they ship from Chennai and we get delivery in a day. Hopefully mine gets shipped from Chennai warehouse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
ya that's the worry part I think I may get on 27th seems

Not buying them bro I have couple of tips from my earlier note phones just need to search for them at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Ahh.. but first, need to see if they'll fit.. and if they do, I'll take you up on the offer :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
If same tip fit then I can send you too because I am sure I have tips from at least last three notes lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Great, thanks.

But I would like to think that the Spen is designed for some durability for sure..

Screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
It's there....it's looks different than the previous ones. S20 ultra I didn't even feel that there's one. Maybe it's just my device, but I can already see bubbles on it...

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Also for pre-booking customers...there's a samsung care+ option in the samsung shop. For 1399 itself. This is new. Also, the shop guy said to activate it with phone's sim card and not connect to wifi until you activate and complete the setup. He said if you wifi, then there's a chance that u won't see the 10000 voucher on samsung shop app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
I just got the message. Did yours get shipped?,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dpk1:
Congratulations! Got mine too (Note 20 ultra Mystic Black) :D!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Got mine too :D

The bronze is a good change.

An update was waiting when I connected.

Will reset and smartswitch it :)

I am assuming the 10K voucher will show up in a day or two?

And yes.. the screen protector on it is very shabby.

A few aftermarket ones I am looking at : https://www.amazon.in/Fitbest-Impos...ra+screen&qid=1598341726&s=electronics&sr=1-5

Just collected my Note 20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
I think so too, it hasn't showed up on mine..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
I got my N20U too and unfortunately I needed to remove protector.

After half an hr noticed a spot near camera. I though this is just protector but needs to confirm as if over screen then need to to replace. Finally turned out to be on protector only but now air beneath protector and removing now. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
I think Samsung cut corners with the screen protector this time. Its the most flimsy once i have seen so far. S9, Note 9-10 and S20 default protectors were perfect and not garbage like this.

What's the procedure to get Rs 10k samsung voucher

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

What's the procedure to redeem 10k samsung voucher ?

And right screen protector already had bubbles and doesn't seem to be of good quality.

Have purchased the the below UV Tempered Glass

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08F995F5F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rUnrFb9QEJHZ8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Samsung really need to step up the game and make sure their online deliveries are also on release day. Otherwise people who are ordering online are feeling cheated. Imagine paying for a phone 2 weeks in advance and still waiting for it to get shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bala_gamer:
Collected mine, killer looks for sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Got my Note 20 ultra in the morning...the boxy shape is a welcome change.

The screen protector which came with the device had air bubbles pre-installed

No clear TPU case included, i got the clear quote screen protector applied for free at the store.

Tore it off the moment i stepped out of the store as the quality was poor, it appears smudged all over.

50x zoom has greatly improved compared to S20U.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

For ppl looking for tempered glass on amazon, please refrain from buying one.

The oil used leaks even after days, after applying it and gets into the earpiece grill and side buttons.

Due to oil leak dust will start collecting around the edges of the glass.

Tempered glass for curved screens is a failure....few days after application there will be air bubbles formed at the curved edges making the device look bad, dirty and old.

I have been trying them multiple times on the last 3 devices of mine, S10, N10 and S20.

Edit: Fingerprint wont be responsive and should rely only on face unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
I think we need to wait till Aug 28th for the voucher to be shown under offers in Samsung shop app. This is what the Samsung store guy told me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
I was told we would be getting a voucher/coupon code through email/SMS which can be used during checkout, but I highly doubt that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Usually for the preorder offers, you need to use the sansung shop app under the For You section. It will verify your IMEI and then give you voucher.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
When I got my S10+ and S8+ from them, both of them were delivered early in the morning on release day. This is the first time I've been waiting so long for a preorder. Btw, mine changed to Packaged this morning, and shows handled by DEL.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rohitverma141:
Something similar was mentioned by the Samsung Smart Cafe executive .

He told me to switch on the phone with sim inserted and then don't use wifi /hotspot to active the device using same no as pre-order and then in samsung shop app , go to See if you are eligible option and enter the IMEI and it will issue a voucher.

I just want to confirm if anyone has done that and got that voucher yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Can anybody check what is the Samsung Shop app > For you tab currently showing? For me its showing some join Samsung student program.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Mine is in Packaged status for last 2 days. Customer care is horrible. All they know is to say "Sorry for the delay sir, you will get it by 28th"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Did you book with exchange? I called them today, they said their exchange partners will come before the end of the month. WTF is this service. Should just go offline from next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Yes. This is the last time I'm going online with Samsung. Will go with offline shop next time I am upgrading.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

They are randomly assigning it. You are in Bangalore but they assigned it to Delhi warehouse. Mine is assigned to Chennai so there is hope that it will come next day whenever they ship it.

Most probably the delay is due to lobbying by offline retailers to get them couple of days headstart in sales. Flipkart and Amazon are not delivering before 28th. That seems to be the release date for Online.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
So finally rooted today only and made and tested first basic custom rom lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kannanX10:
Got my mystic bronze,the colour is simply good.................

display is as usual good,one important thing is that camera is much better in indoors specially for taking images of kids indoors,its an huge improvement from S20 ultra............
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
Took these photos from S20+ and Note 20 ultra..both handheld without night mode. Telephoto pics quality has improved. If only they can enable pro mode for all three lens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] samblue:
Got my note 20 ultra in evening. Pre applied screen protector film is ok. But battery is draining fast. Anyone else facing same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bala_gamer:
allow it to settle, once the usage pattern is learnt it will improve
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
The battery seems to be fine for me...the screen is surprisingly very bright even at 30% brightness.

The heat while using camera is well contained.

Though my experience today at the store was so so....the phone is performing well so far.

Have you tried out the ESIM? is that option there?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Esim is present... no longer need to switch CSC to use the esim.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

And the 9ms spen latency so far seems to be non existent...i couldn't fit any difference between note 10 lite and note 20u. Both pens work interchangeable well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
I'm more excited about the possibility of finally being able to use dualsim and sd card together. Share some pics of the screen, wanna see the default screen protector. It seems to be bad this year around, wanna see how bad it is so that i will order one from Amazon.

P.S: Samsung has nicely packed and kept my phone in their Chennai warehouse since last 2 days :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
I'm using it without any screen protector. I removed the default one and installed some clear quote screen protector at the store for free which was plain bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Mine is also sitting nicely packed some place. LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Has few bubbles..

It's an "ok" type SG and I am ok with it. I would not call it the worst in the world since the rest of the world is mostly worse than this one itself considering the useless boder-sticky FP-unfriendly TGs or the hopeless plastic ones that leave lot of bubbles/don't cover edges.

Theres a camera issue on 20 ultra https://youtu.be/4eCeDX26EMQ
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
The "superfast charge" is not so super fast :(

From 96 to 100... 13 mins :eek:

So far so good.. trying to get used to the Spen.. it has some good party tricks..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Like the early stages of S20U, 96hz seems to be so far butter smooth and responsive like 120hz... hoping Samsung does not ruin it with future updates.

Not much of a difference with Fingerprint scanner from the S20U, nothing much to complain as well. Without the screen protector it is always a hit.

Battery so far matching 5000mah on the S20U. I know its still learning my usage pattern.

Overall a worthy and a satisfying upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dpk1:
I initially thought battery backup wouldn't match the S20 ultra's, but Note's battery is holding pretty well so far. I'm amazed how Samsung have improved the Cameras on the N20 ultra! Photos have overall better details compared to S20 ultra, especially indoors and low light. Night mode takes less time to process and ends up being better. Zoom photo quality is also better as I'd expected. 8k cinematic pro video with smooth zoom effect is a cool feature to have! I feel most of the camera enhancements (except periscope zoom) are software related and would eventually come to S20 ultra (with One UI 2.5 update).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Narrow plane of focus limitation somewhat remains..

S20 series already received OneUI 2.5, cams update included.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Anybody observed the periscope lens shifts back to its original position after you shake the device....just wanted to confirm is it just me or happening to others as well.

The sounds resembles more like a haptic vibration motor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
this is a hardware limitation with the large sensors and unless we see variable aperture, it cannot be fixed in software. One thing i really hope Samsung brings with One UI 3.0 is the ability to use the three cameras in Pro mode as well as RAW support for ultra wide and telephoto cameras.

Beautiful Moment lens are useless when Samsung do not provide RAW image support for all the three cams. What's the ****ing use of having a 1 lakh smartphone and calling it as a pro grade camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
1st charge results for my Note20U. 15hrs + 5hrs SOT on 120hz. Battery still in learning mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
True.

As for Pro mode for all + RAW support, maybe it's a very high expectation..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rohitverma141:
Are you able to pull out S-Pen comfortably after applying the case.

Smaller brands r doing it so i am not sure why Sammy cant do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Small players do, big don't. And all I know is it's to save for, and feed the "next big thing" so that consumers consume it with excitement even if just a fraction of it is delivered. Take any big player for that matter.

I too got 5hrs 4 mins on the first day. But I use accubattery... Way more details in the app. I hope it improves.

BTW I have installed naptime, will check the night time battery drain and report. Last time I checked my s20ultra I was getting 5.5 -6hrs screen on with same usage pattern (120hrs in HD+).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
I bought the spigen hybrid s from Amazon, it's the clear one with the stand. I have to admit, spigen quality is top notch. I usually slightly pull the lip above the usb c area to see how strong/flimsy the case is and this case is pretty rigid :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
I am eyeing for the brown leather case to go along with the bronze n20u. The only thing worrying me is that it lacks any edge protection. So I might have to get the care plus too... Ouch!!

A guy in the store told me that he would buy the 10k coupon for 5k cash. I any ways can't get a case nor a care plus plan with it... So I might as well give it off to him.. What do you guys think??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
How does it feel in hand? is it as bulky as monarch? I ordered the olive green from UAG website since it was out of stock on indian websites but now it is in stock. My luck :( Have bought a cheap ESR case as a backup. Still waiting for the phone though since Samsung is keeping it nicely packed and warm in their warehouse for last 3 days. I guess it will hatch a small battery pack and then they will send it :silly:

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Cheaper option will be the insurance from your telecom provider. I'm on the 499 monthly plan and it covers the insurance of my phone too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
Not much heft imo, typical solid UAG protection. The civilian case looks very minimal & sporty. I really love the olive green colour too but the bright orange borders just put me off. This one's got minimal grey borders which merges very well with the black screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
Oh no no I read the fine print with the Airtel and I decided against using it. I can't remember exactly why right now but it was a compelling reason. Also it takes tiiiimeee when a third party is involved.

On the other hand bought for my wife's s20 plus cane in handy recently. The whole process was so simple, if not for corona they would have picked up and dropped it at home/office. It took a week and a half and they gave me a new phone. Its very similar to Apple care accidental damage plan outside India.

Now that I have the 50% off preorder offer on the care plus I will go with it. Really hate the idea of having a 1L paper weight or sell the only remaining kidney :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
I've used the Airtel insurance in past thus I'm confident with it. Dropped my new S8+ just 1 month after i bought. It was shattered in front and back (snowflake of a phone it was). They picked it up from home and gave it back within 8 days. Hassle free process.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
But on their website it says they will only cover upto 60% of the repair cost. Is that true? And the excess fee is 10% of the insured amount? Won't that be a bit too much for a one lakh phone unlike the s8+?... I genuinely wanted to get the Airtel premium connection last year but then I didn't and also changed network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Need to check. For me the repair cost of screen was 15K and i had to pay 750 only.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Just checked, It says it covers Mobile repairs up to 60% of your phone value. So for our phone it will be upto 60K cost of repair. I doubt any accidental damage would be costing more than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Their customer care is horrible. I was chatting with one today and when i asked for status, he said it is out for delivery and status will be changed soon. I asked him to confirm how is it out for delivery when it is not shipped yet, then he went back to copy paste like of " You will get it delivered by 28th". Seriously, they hire the most incompetent customer care people ever.
