[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
One with Exynos 990 & the other one with SD865+, Samsung will STILL find them to be equally performing..

And a lot will believe it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I went from a Note 10+ to a Oppo Find X2 Pro instead of waiting for the Note 20 series, simply for the fact that every leak was pointing to European users being stuck with a Exynos 990 & I don't regret my decision at all, Samsung themselves are so blind they that continue to argue that the Exynos 990 is on the same level as the Snapdragon 865/+, it's ridiculous and from a consumer point of view, unacceptable, we're paying the same premium price but for a worse equipped device.

Many argue that it's only noticeable in benchmarks or on paper etc. But it isn't, it affects camera performance, camera quality, gaming performance, thermal performance, app fluidity, all the important parts of a smartphone experience, Snapdragon is far far ahead.

Sorry for the rant but it's just frustrating, hopefully one day Samsung will listen, in the meantime I'll enjoy my Snapdragon equipped Oppo :good:

alot of people are stupid so that makes sense lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
I'm getting what you are saying :)

Also I'm getting a gut feeling that not many will buy the Exynos notes this time around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] force70:
i used to always go exynos...stopped after the Note 9 though.

my s10 plus and Note 10 plus i bought snaps...the difference in performance is just too much to ignore now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] pratik_193:
Totally agree. not many will go if its 990. but rumors are that 990 is heavily optimized for note 20
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Yes that rumor mill basically sourced from a leaker ... it even says they will market 990 as the better one it being in-house, than the Snap counterpart. It isn't going into my head though!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] AstroDigital:
I would go for the device, even cope with all the Samsung Bloatware but I can not spend $1500 plus tax for a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] shagy38:
I'm skipping the note 20 I am happy with my note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Current biggest excitement, in order:

120Hz screen

5G speeds on mobile data

S-pen response time 1/3 of Note10+, if rumors hold true

Improved camera

The rest will likely be the same as the Note10+, basically, for my daily usage.

Can't wait!!!

I really hope this gets the new Samsung Access plan. If I am doing my math correctly... If the phone is $1399, then the access plan would be about $50/mo. I'd take that in a HURRY. And upgrades within 9 months?? Crazy good compared to the old upgrade plan.

for those who are saying no to exynos, how u gonna root and in north america - dual sim wont work too if I am not mistaken with snap
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
I don't see it discussed anywhere..but is Note20 display LTPO?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'm pretty pumped. I'm gonna get a new phone and save money on my monthly bill. My personal plan:

$1299.99 Note20 Ultra 128GB with Access program (upgrade after 9 months)

$1299.99 / 36 months = $36.11/mo

+$?? for Samsung Care/Microsoft Suite (maybe $11ish?)

So about $50/mo at most!

Now, I plan on using the $200 Samsung credit to purchase and sell something. I'll likely profit at least $100, hopefully closer to $150.

I get 6 months of free Spotify, so I cancel my Google Play Music subscription for 6 months, meaning I save another $60.

I sell my Note10+ for about $600 (I owe $400 to Samsung Financing). I profit about $200 there.

So now I've profited about $360 in extras/sales/savings. Divide that up over the next 12 months (I will upgrade to the next Note next summer I'm sure, knowing me) and I am SAVING $30/mo from my profits.

That means my $50/mo bill is really hitting me with about $14/mo impact.

And I currently pay $33/mo for my Note10+. WIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Mwyann:
Well, after seeing the official presentation and the prices... I'm not sure I'll be upgrading after all.

I'd have to pay from 400 to 700 € just for this "upgrade"... Sure the 120 Hz screen sounds great, UFS3.1, 50x zoom, new Spen... but is that worth the upgrade, compared to how my Note9 is doing right now? I feel like all those additions are just gadgets and/or not really allowing me to do something I wasn't able to do before (all my apps are working very well right now). Also, sticking to the Exynos is a real bummer to me, I'm paying for a premium phone for God's sake, I want premium components!

So what that means, I would either get some S20, even if they're still quite expensive right now, or wait until the prices drop in a few months, or skip this iteration, or... change manufacturer?... I still don't know. I love the Note line but it's going really out of control, with lots of gadget features for a month's worth of work.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] pratik_193:
In India Ultra is priced at 1.04 lac which is 1400 usd. Not gonna buy it for exynox 990 +25 w charging.!

Note 20 is also priced very poorly with plastic body!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Samsung's 25W charging is fairly fast and its 45W adapter is barely any faster. And those 65W etc. in others' are good at destroying the battery.. :)

But then it's very true that paying this much of money for an "upper midranged" SoC-driven phone is outrageous.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] pratik_193:
I have p30 pro with 40w charger which is insanely fast. Would be a downgrade for me from 40 to 25
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Kiran-Kumar:
Like OnePlus, Samsung is marketing N20U as a 5G phone, hence the price hike.

We are getting 256GB as base storage as opposed to 128 in the US.

With all the cashbacks and discounts, it should cost about ~1150 USD in India.

Difference between 25W and 45W is hardly noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] force70:
same boat here...I may not get it either

mystic bronze no 512gb version which is huge

less ram than S20 ultra

lesser zoom and selfie camera than S20 ultra: should have fixed the 100x zoom not neutered it to 50x..lazy Samsung..lazy

smaller battery than S20 Ultra

no 45w charging like the S20 Ultra and even Note 10 Plus

fingerprint scanner same as last year and its not awesome

they got really lazy on the 20 ultra it seems to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
They always only offer the 512GB in black, that's not new. I don't love it, but that's the way they roll.

No one needs 100x zoom... They fixed the cameras in a major way with the laser autofocus the S20 lacks. 50x zoom with the 5x optical zoom will be better than the S20 for almost everything.

Selfie cam... Eh, I haven't looked into it. I don't think Note users strongly correlate with selfies. It is a productivity device.

I bet battery life is better than the S20 Ultra. LPTO screen, better processor, and adaptive refresh rate will prove to balance the scales. Smaller battery? Yeah, the s-pen takes up space! Makes sense to me.

No idea on the 45watt thing, but I don't care personally. It's already been shown it hardly speeds things up over 25. That's already super fast for me.

I DO wish they improved the fingerprint scanner.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Seems the hype is low this year. In previous years, the forums e were super active the week before delivery. This is weird. I feel like no one is getting this phone! All the reviews seem lukewarm too (for dumb reasons, in my opinion).

Oh well. I've never been more hyped!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] force70:
im always pumped come note time , i was so excited to get my note 9 and 10 plus because they did a good job on them and I didn't have a single issue with either.

like i posted before they left alot on the table this year, they did improve on some things and its still an upgrade from the 10 plus but i cant discount where they got lazy.

and the whole colour and storage thing is still frustrating the hell out of me...i had hoped they would not do that again this year.

if it was avail in 512gb in white or bronze I probably would have pre ordered it despite my grievances about the device lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
It seems like people are comparing to the S20 Ultra instead of the Note10+. I don't own an S20 Ultra, so I only care about what they improved over my actual phone (Note10+), and to me they're really significant changes. I've been jealous of 5G and 120Hz users for a while now.

I do wish they had a 256GB option... 512 is unnecessary for me, but 128GB seems lacking. I had a 256 for my Note10+. I really don't care about the rest, personally (doubt I need 16GB RAM, or 100x zoom).

I'm curious about the conflicting reports about the fingerprint scanner. Some say it is much better than the Ultra (I've seen two or three reviews now stating that). Some say it's the same. ?

Last year we got the same processor as the S series. This year we got the superior one. We improved the camera (I like our camera way better - laser autofocus and 5x optical is way more useful for me than 100x), got a way better design... If they were the same price, I'd take the Note in a heartbeat!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
In the Exynos version,

I tested it with the factory-installed "ATGI" firmware(newer "ATH3" build rolled out that I couldn't check it with) having both thumbs registered.

I didn't find it to be better than the one in my S20+, not even a bit. I tested adequately to say this.

It will improve over time with learning & updates, but take what those numbered YouTubers conveyed with a pinch of salt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] pratik_193:
Did you get the note 20 in India?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Nope, I was talking about my experience with the Note 20 Ultra, tentatively to be retailed from 25th (also Note 20) in India.

Hey,

could someone please recommend the best possible software/way how to recover just photos from this Xiaomi device?

Phone dropped from ridiculous 40cm on concrete. The display is without any visual damage but not working at all. The right top back corner of the phone is just slightly shattered.

I feel vibration response when I am trying to turn it on, I just don't know how to enter data inside the phone, because if I connect it via cable, it won't show the connected phone in my computer.

I can't even explain how disappointed I am with the fragility of this device... :(

you could try using otg cable and mouse - click and if you've got luck you unlock it and connect it to file transfer, but that's highly unlikely. best option is to replace lcd or attach lcd just to set app for pc screen mirroring - I used it to recover data from android, but you have to allow pc connection

Im currently on Lineage ROM, and i got a new phone so i need to flash the stock ROM on this K20 Plus, what would be the easiest way to do it? MetroPCs model.
[LG K20 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mario0318:
I know you may have long since found the answer, but for others who may be curious simply search for the official LG software suite PC program and install it. You will need the phone device drivers. There is a thread here in the xda K20 plus ROMs and development forum with links to the necessary files and some basic guides. You'll also need to download the official stock image from the lg-firmwares.com or any such similar host sites. Although I believe the official and recent version of the LG backup/restore suite can download the image file automatically but I may be wrong. The crucial thing is to install all the necessary drivers on your PC and ensure the phone can be recognized on it. I haven't kept up with any of the latest releases to know if maybe the suite does the downloading and drivers setup with ease. But more or less the whole stock reflash process is the same and not difficult.

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] EatSleepTechRepeat:
Hey guys and gals.

I constantly check back on this platform, and i read mixed reviews, Ive learnt alot.

The question i ask is what is actually the benefit of sideloading GMS?

I mean HMS offers:

Email instead of Gmail

App Gallery, Petal Search instead of Playstore

I can use Vanced instead of Youtube.

Phone clone works

Huawei Music and Video instead of Google Music and Video.

I know the solution for Google Pay is coming soon so,

So really what is the benefit? :p

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] future3:
These are just backdoors to existing Google Services you *may* be using, so in some respects, you already have answered your own question.

If you truly dont need GMS and advocate HMS, then you technically shouldn't be reliant on Vanced, Google Pay, Petal Search (which is effectively there to sideload Play Store apps anyway), Phone Clone etc.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] EatSleepTechRepeat:
but can you not use the browser version? I mean my banking website pretty much looks like an app, and surely its safer? as no data is being held?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] EatSleepTechRepeat:
Ive never been a user of google pay anyways, Petal search is a Huawei official app so im only relaying on their software? and Vanced I know that's youtube however youtube is only useful if im working on my camper and I just chuck it on my tablet and I mean its a rarity, I guess its down to the user though. If I gave my mum a p40 pro for her it would do everything she needs, idk.

I think maybe people are just a bit fussy? I think its the better version of a nexus device but that my opinion
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] EatSleepTechRepeat:
well yeah looking at HMS as a bigger thing than just apps, it seems to be more 'eco system' than just where you get apps? I maybe wrong
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] ChrisHtube:
Yup, a lot of people saying this. Its because GMS and HMS are not built to run side by side.

Hi everyone hope you are all well and safe :D

After a few weeks of using HMS and completely ditching GMS I can honestly say I am fully sold into the HMS core it took some tweaking I have to say to get into apps and bring over photos etc.

with that being said I wanted to start some sort of thread to those that are just starting out with HMS and what the benefits of HMS are and how do you bring them to life.

A key one for me is Huawei Cloud is currently offering 50GB for 12 months for free, I always maxed out 5gb and always thought why bother I found this a nice touch from Huawei Mobile Services.

Has anyone got any similar experiences that they would like to share so those just starting out there HMS journey can find useful.
