From TEKKITAKE website.. I used a code which gave me 13 or so percent off.. just search for TEKKITAKE discount coupon. Their shipping times are really fast... I bought the UAG (again with discount, unlike Amazon) case on 3rd and on 5th I got it.

I had the spigen tempered glass for my s20 ultra and ESR one is of the same quality.

I have a question for those who bought the Accidental care from samsung shop app with 50% off. Is it active yet? I had bought it along with the buds plus (10k offer) and today it says it's shipped and the best part is... ITS DELIVERED TOO.. Well is there really any documentation that they send via courier? Or is it just digital? And how do you think we link it to our phones?? I checked care plus in my galaxy app.. I don't have it active on my phone yet.

I had previously bought the care plus for my s20 ultra from within the galaxy app and it got activated instantly.

How do they sound compared to buds+ (or buds)? I understand they don't have good seal by design, but how about listening to music in a quite room? Still trying to decide what to get using my 10k! BTW, getting another Note20 ultra for my wife on Monday :laugh:!

Its all digital, we should get an email from Servify with the policy documents and terms and conditions.

Also your device should appear covered in your Samsung servify account.

Last time for my S20 Ultra I bought it at the offline store and it was activated the very next day.

Anyone having trouble registering their device with Airtel Secure? In past, I've registered every note device just a day after purchase and whole process was smooth. But this time around it is showing me error that my phone is not supported. WTF!!! Raised a ticket with Airtel but looks like i would need to get the ALD protection plan as well.

It is cheaper to purchase device from offline Stores. Without corporate offer and card offer, they give exchange bonus of 5k without physically exchanging the device with just quote, instant redemption of smartclub points, approx 4k less from their margins.

Used them for like 10 mins just to check if they're are working as my buds+ were DOA, As far fit is concerned they do fit properly but if u want them to fit as IEMS it's not going to happen but they sound great and go really loud.

Last night attempt at Moon Photography.

Impressed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dpk1:
She's already using the S20 ultra and has no problems with it. But, having found out how nifty the S pen could be, along with the improved cameras and the sleeker design she's all impressed with the Note20 ultra! On enquiry at a local Samsung smartcafe I was asked to pay only INR 27k for the new Note20 ultra, in exchange for the S20 ultra (worth 73k+5k upgrade offer). So, decided why not!

P.S - I know, with this ongoing Snapdragon vs Exynos debacle on internet (especially youtube), people aren't keen on buying any Samsung flagships here in India (at such a premium price)! And here I am, buying three of them in succession (S20 ultra, N20 ultra and now second N20 ultra)! The point is, you need to weigh them for their worth. For example, the SD 865+ N20 ultra has been demonstrated to be about 12% faster than the Exynos 990 variant by youtuber SpeedTest G and probably will have similar gain (10-15%) in battery endurance too. But, the cameras seem to be better optimized on the Exynos 990 variants with faster AF, better HDR and less processed looking image in auto mode (going by online comparisons, especially pointed out by anandtech while reviewing the two variants of S20 ultra). For my use though, I haven't ever felt that my S20 ultra or N20 ultra are any worse in performance than OP8 pro (on side by side comparison) or any other SD 865 smartphone available in India!

Finally got the Samsung official leather case .

It's a charming cover.

Elegant , premium & exceptional quality of leather.

It definitely needs care but feel so soft and amazing ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] nitinmits:
I am using Note serices since Note2 and everyrime in India they lauch with Exynos processor. The best thing with Snapdragon is the network reception is good compared to Exynos and better Carrier Aggregation speeds
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
Its been about 10 days since I have the phone in hand....with the same usage patterns and resolution. Note 20 ultra is giving me 1.5 hours of less screen on time compared with S20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
With medium power saving mode, i get slightly better SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
In my usage pattern & settings, the endurance isn't exceeding what S20+ used to provide either.

It's unfortunate that the adaptive refresh rate isn't truely at play and unless Samsung finds ways to fix it with updates, the battery anxiety will continue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
I am gonna do something crazy...and sell off my note 20 ultra...and try Xiaomi MI 10 or Vivo X50 Pro or Oneplus 8. i might still get some 80-82k. I am a photographer enthusiast and would love to find a phone with more manual controls and RAW support. Gcam helps too.

I have never cared for Bixby routines, but after some reading, I am testing two..

1.

Turn on Sync only for apps like Gmail/Outlook

2.

Turn on Location for apps like Maps, Zomato etc

Have kept these two off otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Just coz the name starts with Bixby, people have forgotten how great this application is :p

I use it for sync, turn on blue light filter during night, set volume levels on different bluetooth devices when connected and many more.

It does not consume much battery as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Bixby routine is good, not the rest of Bixby. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rohitverma141:
I have also scheduled Adaptive display 120hz using Bixby routine with Medium Power saving mode.

We can't achieve that using normal setting but Bixby routines helps in getting that.

Battery saved even at 120Hz :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
That's a trick.. Yes.

Resorting to power saving, in 1080p and finding a workaround to still have 120Hz just so that it can still breathe before the end of the day..no?

I wish it lasted more without powersaving & "routine-help" in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Yeah you can also use the adaptive setting to do it instead of letting the routine run in the background.

Got it delivered today, Ringke Air Smoke Black.

It looks gorgeous ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
I wouldn't consider it as "crazy". You are just being honest to yourself is what I felt, as per your requirement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lycan_codex:
yeah. sold off my ultra and got a oneplus 8 pro....the battery percentage stays on 100% for atleast a good 25 mins with 8 mins of screen on time...1080p and 60 hz. and the Gcam ports have improved by leaps and bounds...Its a goodbye from Samsung for now...until the next note...or something drastic changes with S21's image processing and camera apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dpk1:
Lol.. good to know you're happy with your new purchase! At one point in time I did seriously consider buying the OP8 pro (even prebooked it only to cancel later). I couldn't, however, convince myself to purchase a BBK Electronics owned sub-brand flagship though!

For that price u can buy from otterbox,rhinosheild solidsuit case or other premium brands......but for its availability it will take some time.....initially you can buy from spigen or ringke which are cheap(avoid transparent cases)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Ultra hybrid is one the "balanced" cases in my exp. Adequately thick(not much which is sweet), grips the phone well, gives some accidental waist height drop protections(my exp), top bottom and camera-cutout portions are raised to prevent it from coming into contact of flat surfaces.. I like this one.

The negative side is the transparent one, which I everytime go for, turns yellowish over a short period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
hmm currently I'm using ringke fusion-x in s20ultra its very good.need to wait for a bit than for the availability.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kannanX10:
Seller Tekkitake(Intially he was only selling spigen cases) is a looter nowadays,all cases sold by them are overpriced.....saw UAG civilian mallard case for 2999 then the next day its 3999(10% off 3600)......even If I order directly from UAG its only 3100.....

I saw spigen liquid air case in Danny winget's video and it was quite good

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
I usually prefer Spigen, RingKe and Rhinoshield(always late by a month to market)

Spigen - Thin fit, Liquid air

Ringke - smoked TPU cases

Rhinoshield - Bumper case

Nilkin- thin fit

Amozo local brand cases

Overpriced Samsung silicone and leather are some of the best fitting cases. I have the LED case for my S20U, leather and silicone for my previous S and Note phones...they are great.

Twice I almost placed an order for Spigen Liquid air, but wanna wait some more time for thin fit.

I usually waste a lot of money close to 10k for cases for every phone but not anymore.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Samsung is acting smart this iteration.

They neither lower the price of Note 10 series phones and watch active 2 nor announce the prices of watch 3.

I think they want to divert all watch 3 N20 pre-orders to active 2 at a higher price.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
I don't like hard back case.. I would think both are equally good or bad, but knowing me, I'll probably end up spending a lot on different cases :D

Now, why would I take the mystic bronze color and hide it in a black case :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
The liquid air is an amazing case with both fit and finish, only downside is it does not have a transparent back :laugh:

To best flaunt the royal look of Mystic bronze with serrated back, Rhinoshield bumper case is the only go.

damm samsung I'm ready to pay even 5k more also no need any discount.just bring Snapdragon one to india.atleast give us a choice to choose btw.

I totally love the the note 20 ultra,its just amazing.The feel and practicality of the phone is unbeatable.I am using it without any cover and it feels very premium bare naked.

Great phones made by Samsung and equally horrendous after sales at the service centres.I am waiting for my Spen replacement since 2 days,they say they dont have Spen in stock:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
The norm is replacement parts take time for service centers to receive for a newly launched product. If I were you, I would have asked for a DOA cert., that takes less than a week to get issued. They cannot officially deny issuing DOA cert. as part replacement comes under "repairing", a consumer can deny it & claim for DOA cert. within 14 days timeframe when the product is out of the box, faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kannanX10:
no according to samsung india for note series it seems spen is considered as an accessory so they will replace only the spen, for note 9 my friend had issues with spen and they said they will only replace the spen............DOA only if have any HW issues with the device within 14days that doesn't include HW issues with spen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
According to Samsung India or according to service center executives/customer care, only S-Pen is to be replaced when out-of the box faulty? As far as I know there's no official term to deny DOA cert. having faulty S-Pen out of the box. I would imagine, maybe, service center got away with just replacing the S-Pen when DOA could have been issued to the customer..!

Throughout years, a few times I got DOA issued and at times, refunds as well in the past for issues they initially declaring "DOA/refund not possible"(within the said time frame), but then I had to keep higher management/service heads in a loop in written to get the desired resolution. I bet, they never issued DOA as the first resolution to anyone unless the phone is entirely dead for real.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
UAG plyo, extremely gripy and has this mild textured feel and frosted transparency. Feels very light in the hand too. Camera cutouts are properly secured and good top and bottom lips for fall protection. Overall like this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kannanX10:
they clearly stated that the information provided for DOA by Samsung for note devices,but it was two years ago and my friend visited the service centre the next day of his purchase......in the past i do got a DOA for a note devices which was rebooting frequently and was issued within 2 days.......but for spen they denied stating their rules and only gave a new spen

I think you can get the cashback even if you preclose but you need to take risk because now they say if you preclose you won't get cashback.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
So I got 8+ hours battery life today.. I used the dynamic refresh rate controller app.. well it's actually developed for s20 but works for note series too...

I have selected few apps to run in 120hz few in 96hz and rest in 60hz.. I mean who needs swiggy to run in more than 60?

I wish Samsung really made the VRR technology work.also read the anandtech article about the VRR tech used in note 20.. did you guys know your battery life also depends on the background lighting u are in?? That, in low light VRR just shuts down?? Anything less than 40lux and it always runs at peak 120hz? Its only when it's bright, that the refresh rate varies.. don't ask me why... Well read the article https://www.anandtech.com/show/1606...fresh-rate-display-explained-vrr-note20-ultra
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
The ambient light restriction is only when peak refresh rate is set to 120hz, i set my peak to 96hz and VRR always works irrespective of the ambient light.

I'm happy its software controlled and waiting for Samsung to optimize it further with updates.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
On 96hz not much of a difference, about 30 minutes more than 120hz.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] njan_ivide:
Update: So today I got 7h 30min with 5% remaining... Not bad... Imagine what snapdragon n20u would have gotten with dynamic refresh app...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Probably would provide about an hour or so more I would say... the "+" version of Snapdragon is known to drain more battery than the vanilla one due to higher clocked cores in the same SoC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
What all apps you have set to 120/96hz?

7.5hrs of SOT is on wifi or on mobile data/dual SIM?

Edit: I have set 120hz to Whatsapp and Samsung browser only, rest all at 60hz.
