Better GPU and better battery life.
**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S20 Family Thread ****
Better GPU and better battery life.
2 x S20 Ultras arriving tomorrow !!
128gb one and a 512gb one. One will be going back.
It makes little difference day to day but the main point is they make exynos themselves so I presume it's cheaper and it's definitely easier for them to vertically integrate and plan around.
Other than benchmark geeks nobody even notices, because there's basically nothing to notice so why not use your own parts?
Nobody asks ford why they don't use BMW engines.
Date of the announcement.
Question for others, does the trade in pack come separately or with the phone?
Cheers! I was 5 days late then haha so reasonable to expect mine to only dispatch tomorrow then
Check out the S10 thread, plenty of difference in battery performance. My battery is absolute trash compared to what some people are getting with phones they imported from HK with Snapdragon and plenty of others with bad battery life.

My S20 base model is coming today direct from Samsung via DPD - had nothing tracking wise until this morning

Didn’t get a late night notification I take it?
My email actually stated ships by March 8th, so probably why as well.
I got all excited last night having had the your parcel has been shipped and a DPD we have your parcel. I feel a little deflated this morning as DPD tracking is not showing any further progress. I opted for a before 10.30 service so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I hope it's just DPD tracking as I've booked a day off to day to ensure I was in for delivery.
Forgot to say, I also had the trade in email from Samsung so assume this is triggered once the new phone has a confirmed shipment. I hope it's just the DPD tracking is slow.

Still showing March 24th for my ultra from EE 
If it's anything like mine tings can change quite quickly from essentially "??????" to it'll be there in 2 hours.
Yep, I've experienced that with DPD tracking in the past. I'm sure from memory I choose the before 10.30 but as long as it arrives today (intact) I don't mind. To be fair to Samsung they only charge a £3.99 premium for the before 10.30.
Yes I know you've been very vocal about it, your phone is knackered.
It's not credible that the issues you've had are in any way replicated across the hundreds of thousands of units sold with the exynos chip, AFAIK the Qualcomm one is actually a small part of the total installed base.

Well i just checked my email. mine has changed to now "Dispatch expected in 24 hours" So atm mine is still looking on track for the 10th. cross fingers.
Mines arrived at the depot for delivery just there and hadn’t updated for a while so don’t sweat it. Bit frustrating if you don’t get it prior to 10.30 today when paid for...will come today at the very least I’m sure.
I know mines will likely be between 3-5pm today.
DPD tracking can be very hit and miss, I've had issues in the past with it.
I just checked the Samsung website and it is showing as shipped. As long as it arrives toady I'll be happy otherwise I'll have to make arrangements to either take another day of of make sure someone is home. Fingers crossed for everyone who is expecting a delivery today.
With DPD you normally get your delivery slot once the parcels are loaded onto your van/route which sometimes can be near on 10am.
