How did you cancel your order? I no longer see the option to cancel in on samsung website. I dont want to go out and buy the phone and then see samsung deliver me another one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Called them and raised a complaint to cancel. I'm gonna refuse delivery if they call me to deliver it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Cool, will do the same. Anyway delivery would be for a exchange which i wont have at that point. If they still want to deliver the phone at half price then be my guest :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Exactly :P Make you get a quote offline before you cancel though. Since they might not always have the best price.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Wish Samsung enables esim support for Indian variants unlike s20 where I had to change the CSC to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
I can confirm for N20

I was digging into N20 firmware today and it seems they have added eSIM support for India.

Yet N20 ultra firmware not available, but if N20 have then might be on Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Turning out to be a perfect phone for me after a disappointment with S20 Ultra, though the optimizations efforts through updates were great.

Way to go Samsung :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Tbh, you echoed my thoughts.. though I'm worried the next S series will be even better and I will be tempted to get that one.:mad:

But, if I get used to the spen, then that's a different story :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Exactly, tatz the reason I wanted the Samsung forever plan, to just hold me back for a year. :p

But I was never given a complete picture of what it is and its hidden caveats.

When Samsung ppl themselves are not interested in getting a customer bound, what should I? :laugh:

Expecting to get a call sometime this weekend from the Opera house since its getting assembled in our Indian plant in Noida.

too much? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Oh wow.. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it is available this weekend.. And I am in Noida.. I might as well just go there my self :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Note20Ultra indeed has eSIM support for India - confirmed.

But using the zoom capability I'm afraid you might not be able to align your 6SE telescope this time around too, it would still be a far cry..:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
hahaha... the 6SLT in itself is pretty neat... :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
As you are using eSIM, a quick question

Does eSIM + physical sim +SD card (2 network +SD) can be used natively? (I mean without patching framework)

For Jio eSIM available?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] patelhim101:
I have pre-booked Note 20 Ultra 5G Black at local Samsung SmartCafe. Paid 2k booking amount. But thinking about cancelling it. As I heard Exynos 990 is much behind in performance and efficiency than SD865+. Just got some news about apple A14 chip of 50% CPU performance and 40% GPU Performance increased from last year A13 chip. It will easily outperform upcoming SD875. So thinking to switch to Apple for the 1st time.

Currently I am using Note 8 and it is having Green Screen problem since 3 months. I am a Samsung user since long. Had S4, Note 5, S7, S8 and now Note 8. As I can feel my Exynos note 8 is lagging and overheating, so I can't trust Exynos 990. Spending this much amount on a device, it must support up to 4-5 years. As Samsung is promising 3 years of OS update, I doubt Exynos will be lag free till then. [emoji51]

One of the reviewers for Indian retail box confirms there is a case...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
You have the Apple ecosystem, go for it, it works brilliantly, you don't have it, you would want to get rid of it dealing with a brick.

In either case, I'm assuming you don't care about customization(on a positive note).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] patelhim101:
Yes I don't much care about customization, but I use Samsung Pay a lot, MS office with Note is awesome, and editing photos and videos is easy with S Pen. I don't have any apple ecosystem and never owned any apple device yet. So little confused to jump or not to. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
You already have the answer. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Yup esim(airtel) + physical sim(jio) + 400gb SanDisk sdcard, been using for the last 3 months.

Jio did not accept my esim request as they have a approved list of esim devices in India and S20 is not part of it. They validate against your IMEI.

Airtel all you have to do is send a text message, in 2hrs you get your esim activated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
One last question, does factory reset wipe esim profile?

If yes, same procedure to follow to activate?

And once esim activated, physical sim get disabled? Or we can use when esim profile disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Yup factory reset wipes the esim profile.

To reactivate,in airtel, you need to raise a sim lost complaint, get a new sim card and once activated send a request for esim again.

Though it is free of cost, once the profile is deleted..its a pain. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
Then not development friendly. We need to wipe twice monthly lol!

Thanks for info.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Plus Airtel declaring you unstable for losing your esim twice every month :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
All reviewers in India are saying that Samsung has an embargo for official reviews until 18th of August, which means we can expect the phone to be available by 17th Aug, Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
I generated a quote from galaxy app through the upgrade option. It is showing a quote of 55k which is better than the online website offer. Dropped a message to few samsung upgrade supported shops. Once they confirm the phone and that they can do the upgrade as per the quote, i will get it and cancel the online order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
for how much you will sell bud. just curious I'm also selling in offline.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkkaranrk:
2.5k shipped, No specific reason was a impulsive purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
I have also claimed the 2K Accidental insurance with the promotions, do they email the policy immediately or does it take some time?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
I have ordered a couple of days back, but I can still see it in the for you offers to redeem tab along with Microsoft family pack.

No mails received from Samsung or Servify.

EDIT: Called Samsung support, they say the ADLP plan confirmation will be sent after a ridiculous 7 to 14 working days.

There is absolutely nothing apart from updating my servify account.

Also for my other order cancellation, i have to wait for 21 working days for a refund. Its almost a whole billing cycle of my credit card :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
I bought mine in corporate cart their i got free adld I called support they told me they will mail the details in 15 days form the date of purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
Intresting, in my Samsung app, after I redeemed the 10k offer, it says Redeem more and when I click it ONLY shows the Microsoft offer nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Oh...tatz the ideal behavior....i hope mine doesnt get cancelled after 7 days.

man this phone is beast in battery not tuned anything mobile data always on 120hz display.and getting 3hrs sot for 70%.good job Samsung [emoji106]View attachment 5089463
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rkaria1970:
Does the camera glass protector affect the image quality?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Can you check if the variable refresh rate is working for adaptive 120hz?

open displayhz.com and see if the screen refresh rate reduces to 60hz from 120hz after few seconds of inactivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Finally gave in and bought it from a local store. Got exchange value which was just 1.5k less than online but on top of it i missed out on prebooking offers. Instead of 10K voucher, now I will be getting 7k voucher. Lesson learnt, never order from Samsung's online shop. They are just a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Still better than not getting your phone for weeks. LOL. Were you able to cancel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Naah, customer care is like "Sir it is already packed, we cannot cancel, you refuse the delivery only then it will be returned and refunded". I just hope it happens before my CC cycle ends because otherwise i do not want to pay for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rohitverma141:
Okay ! Thanks . Slightly costly for my budget.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

I have also similar question . Camera screen protector impact the camera quality or not .

I have also ordered the same and wanted to check before I apply that.

Also have you applied it yourself or through an expert ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Btw I just checked, and I have the 10k offer still :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Lucky you :crying:

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

do you need to wait for some time before you can check the offer in the samsung shop app? I'm trying to check with my imei and it is asking to enter a valid IMEI number
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hiemanshu:
Yes. Check after 24-48 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] samblue:
No, image quality is not affected. I see no difference. And Its good quality glass from RAEGR i.e. sub brand of ESR.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Image quality is same after applying the protector. And I applied it myself. Simple process. And cut out is precise. So application will be hassle free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sagarb:
nope it's satys 120hz only varies few Hz like 117 to 120hz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
looks like even i got lucky. Offer of 10K voucher ended yesterday and i bought and activated it yesterday only. Now got 10K voucher in the samsung shop app. I guess even samsung shop owner was misinformed. Anyway i will just spend it in loads of accesories only since i bought Buds+ few weeks back and have Gear S3 frontier which still going strong.

Those who are looking to buy Note 20 ultra now, login using your corporate account. Price is 97K in corporate account and then you get 7K voucher instead of 10K but the discount kind of offsets the difference. If you are willing to wait for samsung shop order :silly:

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

Anyone able to see cases and chargers in the 10K voucher option? I'm getting just buds, Watches and few tabs :/ All useless
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Huh..

Factory reset erases date from the storage as well... I thought factory reset left the data partition alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
Anyone looking to buy Buds+ for their relative or someone, ping me, voucher is pretty much useless for me so I would rather sell it to someone at discount.

My simple review after a weeks use

---display is simply stunning in N20U nothing can come close-bright,vivid and uniform---proves samsung makes the best displays in the world

---battery life is good around 5.30-6hrs SOT,much better than S20U(1-1.30hrs difference),i don’t know how samsung is achieving this with the same Exynos 990 and a smaller battery(might be having good chip binning values,will check and update))

---camera is improved a lot from S20U----focussing is instant,good dynamic range,sharper images even in indoors and lowlight,5X zoom is good,I feel overall N20U camera is better than my Iphone 11 pro max

---performance with both 120hz and WQHD+ are smooth,i never felt any throttling or heating issues until now(note: i don’t play games)

---call quality and reception are excellent and definitely better than my iphone.

IMHO after a long time Samsung has released an excellent device, initially i had my doubts reg that Exynos 990 but now I’m not bothered about it anymore after using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
Regarding the network reception thingy:

I'm constantly noticing stronger network reception with the N20U in the same workplace that wasn't the case with the predecessors. I checked with a few other phones as well(S20+, iPhone 11, Galaxy A51, Xioami MI A3) having same SIMs inserted wherein the difference is very much noticiable. Going further, and to ensure that it isn't a "placebo" or "fake signal"(I had this experience with an OnePlus before:o), I thoroughly checked both signal strength & call quality-wise in few different areas in the high rise building I'm staying in, only to conclude - the Note 20 is the winner by far.

I'll not come into a conclusion with the batterylife yet as I've had mixed results so far in my usage pattern and will know better over time- just for reference batterylife improved in the S20+ with OneUI 2.5 in my testing, so it might be possible that credit also goes to optimization that 2.5 brings as well. Better reception is an added advantage to the N2U for sure, to help batterylife + LTPO's backing.

Heat management is also "less" I think in my usage and I don't play games either. Agreeing with the rest of the things you shared. 990, still being 990, is behaving better it seems within its new shell.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

2.5 flies in the S20 series as well, way more refined than 2.1 throughout the board. No difference there with the Note 20U in my usage on that front I would say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PG101:
Wasnt happy with the battery..

Reset and now resetup and also added adblock.. let's see..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kiran-Kumar:
Same here, the 500mah difference from the S20 Ultra kinda biting back now.

With sync on for Outlook, Teams, Whatsapp, Gmail(on scheduled sync, Bixby routines), Dual SIM, music streaming, bluetooth always connected to my watch, no camera and gaming, I pull out of the charger around 9:30 in the morning, by 8 in the evening the phone dies.

I used to end my day with 25% left on my S20U.

Waiting for updates from Samsung to optimize the VRR LTPO display which is currently locked at 120hz for all app usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Virgo_Guy:
These things are generally bought in aliexpress/alibaba etc. in bulk for approx Rs 50/- or less each and post rebranding & packaging sold in Amazon, fk etc. for 500/600.

Bigger issue is, to my eyes, the only thing they do gracefully is "harm".

I am yet to get any form of intimation from Samsung regarding the cancellation yet. just hoping I will get the refund quickly.

ia m getting almost similar pre book offer from the Samsung Cafe guys with instant delivery.

lesson learnt ..never will book anything online on Samsung portal. it's just horrible experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] antisocialbratt:
They are usually good for accessorises when there is no launch rush. Have got my orders of cases delivered in 3 days from there. But buying something at launch is another story. I've learnt my lesson too. They wont cancel the order once it is in packed status. No matter how much you scold them or abuse them. You have to refuse the delivery. Thank god my order was for a exchange so there is no way the delivery guy can sneakily deliver the product and go. He has to call me and i will refuse.
