Samsung Galaxy Note 20 | Note 20 Ultra

Haha nvm ba, just installed my second WS again and love the 2k screen.

U replace a new Whitestone?

 

[Zinc-Oxide]

Ya I bought a new set from Qoo10 I can't stand normal screen protector.

Tried both hydrogel and spigen neoflex all cmi. Super rubbery

The original screen protector is the best out there not comparing WS. Its free and oleophobic coating is good.

U replace a new Whitestone?

Is the SD version much better for this phone?

Will Samsung Galaxy Note 20 colour variant be available in SG?

It’s still early days, but Samsung does have a habit of adding new colours to its phones months after their release — so fingers crossed, yeah?

Just restart the phone... or cold boot... then it will be fine...

No need, all you need to do is to get 5G activated for your plan.

'Best' is very subjective.

Actually what will be your usage scenarios.

If you are using it for gaming or using it to edit and export long video clip to YouTube then yes SD better. Or any use case that uses intensive cpu or gpu.


But if you are only using it for social media and content consumption or just social media taking photo and video, there is not much performance difference. Though so may say battery slightly lesser (after recent patch) comparing to SD but that’s is only slight not significant.

But that been said N20U (both SD / Enoxy) version battery life not that great.

As for photos taken some felt that SD photos better but YouTube had shown there is no noticeable difference in blind test plus if you are sharing over social media the compression algorithm totally mask whatever image advantage (if there is any).

So don’t buy base in SoC decision buy it base on use case.

Lastly overseas export set forth N20 seems to have country code / area code issue which requires workaround but no such issue with local set.

5G (though no use now) also is ok with local set and spotty with export set.

i am using korea note20u and doesnt seem to have

Can someone please help?

A friend of mine got a Note 20 5G Korean Snapdragon set after I recommended her "the reason why" SD vs Exynos but but she said only the numbers are showing and i feel its on me since i recommended. Names are NOT showing despite being saved and I know in this forum there is mentioned but not for korean phone.

I posted here in the hope that you guys who are more expert can advise on what to do.

The numbers simply do not show . Hope you guys can advise. Did search but can't find this issue to the Korea set.

Thank You.

how about volte? is the set able to receive volte and without disappearing after a period of use?

Can you guess correctly ?

P40PRO+ vs Note 20 Ultra

The Note20 Ultra exihbits less blooming in the reds and is noticeably cooler hence the pictures look more balanced... but must check if the P40 Pro+ was in the right mode or not... I'm presuming both are in fully automatic mode...
