**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S20 Family Thread ****

Wow, great shot! Is this edited?

Also, do people anticipate that wireless charging over time will degrade battery life (due to heat etc)?

Getting an S20 FE 5G used from the members market to replace my pixel 4xl, hopefully the camera is about as good for taking photos of my dog.

Main reason im changing is battery, storage and fingerprint.

In this day and age it really shouldn’t be an issue. The phone will probably run out of software support and RAM before it runs out of battery.
However one suggestion I would make is if you charge at night then make sure to disable fast wireless charging and just let it trickle away at 5 watts - this method builds up virtually no heat.

looking for some advice really or more opinion ?
got my upgrade coming at the start of Feb and currently on S10+ and love it, is it worth upgrading to the S20+ or should i go for the Ultra instead ?
size isn't really an issue for me but love the specs on the Ultra plus the 45w charger would be a bonus, ive heard different things about the cameras, some saying that the S20+ is the better all rounder and the ultra is for more dare i say it geeky photographers ?
i do like taking a LOT of pics and do like the quality on the S10+, is the S20+ much better or again should i be looking at the S20 Ultra ?
any other pro's cons for upgrading or should i stick with the S10+ ?

Your upgrade is in Feb. The safe thing to do is to wait for the reviews which should drop late Jan. Forget any marketing hype, the proof is always in the pudding.

My bad. As far as I'm aware the S20 Ultra was plagued with auto focus issues and this was rectified on the note 20 ultra by adding laser focus. For that reason I'd stay clear of the S20 Ultra.

cheers would you say that the S20+ is worth upgrading to ?
i wont be paying a premium in monthlys in fact they will be reduced significantly and ill still have my S10+ to sell or as backup ?

The s20+ camera has larger sensors over previous gen. I'm not sure if it's main cam only or the UW and zoom too.

Best bet would be to see comparison reviews on YouTube and go from there. I'm expecting a nice uplift in performance given the better sensor.

I would also suggest not to get too hyped about the 45w charging. Plenty of reviews and evidence out there showing it’s only marginally better than 25w.

Seems exceptionally good that deal!

Tbh I'm not certain, I checked with her 3 or 4 times before she processed the order that it definitely was the 5g version of the FE but I completely forgot to enquire about the tariff. I just assumed it would be. Let's wait and see.

If anyone ordered the special edition MKBHD skin from dbrand back in Nov, yours should be arriving around about this week, mine arrived yesterday.

Just done a speedtest on the handset (whilst connected to mobile data) and got ~125mbps download. Does that confirm anything either way??

 

[matt100]

It'll say 5G if its got 5G... But no I've had more than that on 4G and less on 5G

Exactly, it didn't seem conclusive either way. Didn't notice 4g or 5g but I'll check again later.

I really like that skin !

 

[mrk]

If you missed out the November run period to get one then sadly that's it, no more will be made!

Not really as 4G+ is rated as "upto 300mbps" so you could just be getting that.
