Currently own Note 10+ should I buy Note 20? - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers

Will it be a upgrade or downgrade?

The adaptive refresh rate is nice and the s pen reacts better and the fps is much better.
The form factor i.e aesthetics is pretty much the same. OK the N20 Ultra is a little bit taller.
The display for some does seem to be a little more washed out.
The Exynos version does seem to have warming up issues and some say the screen on time isn't good on the Exynos or Snapdragon varients.
I'd say it's an incremental upgrade for the Ultra.
I wouldn't opt for the Note 20 due to it's cost.

Thank you for the explanation, i was considering Note 20, not the ultra.

10+ to 20 is a downgrade.

It is not a downgrade. I had 10 and 10+. Now have a 20. For me flat screen is better. Also better camera and so important for me better zoom. Battery life is not so so but is better. In 3D games Note 10+ was totally disappointing. Overheating and Lagging. Now 20 is really more stable. I talk about Exynos models.

It is quite true, only camera is improved but all the rest is kinda worse.

The better battery and gameplay is because the screen had been downgrade to work with the poor processor. You could've easily turned the 10+ to a lower resolution to get better battery and gameplay. Only real update is the cameras.

I moved from note 10+ because of the new processor, camera, flat screen, and 5G. I take a lot of notes and flat screen vs curved is just better in my opinion.

Xiaomi Mi5 Review

Hi guys, I've had my Mi5 for almost a week and have been using it non-stop as my daily. Here's my full review video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0SQCJNFdtE It covers everything from the build, camera, benchmarks, GPS, charging time and gaming.
Overall it's not a bad phone considering the price and the power Snapdragon 820 you get. A premium build and one of the better 1080p screens I've seen. But it's ultimately let down with a disappointing camera. Doesn't live up to 4 Axis & Xiaomi marketing hype machine. 4k video is full of artifacts and the focus is all over the place at times.
Still gaming it will play everything at 60 fps, super smooth and the battery can give over 7 hours of OST. I do like the size build and feel of it.
Pros:
Very good at benchmarks
Super smooth gaming
Doesn't seem to throttle or get too hot.
Preium build quality
Excellent audio output, both 3.5mm and loudspeaker.
Cheap for a Snapdragon 820 mobile
Great front camera in good light*
One of the better 1080p screens I've seen. Super bright at 565 nits max brightness. (Not quite the claimed 600 nits)
Cons:
GPS performance is quite poor for a flagship. Won't lock on and use GLONASS sats
The camera is disappointing. Not up to flagship spec when recording video
Camera struggles with focus at times and in low light
Front camera drops frames in low light and video is choppy due to this
Very slippery build. I have almost dropped it countless times (Skin or case needed)

Not maasively fussed on camera performance tbh.
Other points are valid. Although not 100% on build quality just yet. The left side of my rear case is ever so slightly raised off the front and it's bothering me.
It's a lonnnnng trip back to China for a replacement!
Here's a clip of the Mi5 running Antutu 6 Vs my Galaxy S7 Edge and Redmi Note 3 Pro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-UhVrlMCDQ
It gets close to 140,000 points which is very decent.
Hey, what kernel version does the mi5 use eg 3.10, 3.16, 3.18?
Thanks
I've been hugely disappointed with the Mi5. I got it the day after release and it just hasn't felt right. I came from a Mi Note, which has probably been the best phone I've ever had. Perfect size in my opinion and everything works perfect.
The Mi5 has a strange size and the even more curved/rounded back just doesn't feel good in the hand. It's far too curved. It should have been more like the Mi Note. I don't feel comfortable holding it without a grippier case.
Despite the Mi Note having a Snapdragon 801, the SD 820, in my opinion doesn't offer a huge difference in speed and normal everyday tasks like browsing, reading news, listening to music and watching videos and the odd game.
The finger print sensor is ok, but I think the round sensor on the Redmi Note 3 is superior. It looks ugly on the Mi5 I think.
The camera is speedy, yes. But so was the Mi Note camera. The quality is not noticeable in my eyes. And the 4 axis OIS is just a big gimmick.
Haven't been this disappointed with a phone since I last used an iPhone haha.
Im always using a silicone case with my phones.. GPS is fast i cant complain here.
The camera is very good in Daylight, bad at dark places.. i tried to adjust with manual settings but so far not really successful.
Samsung and LG has longer experiences in building Cameras or Mobile Phones, so don`t expect too much in Dark places.
But one thing i like, is the price-value in Xiaomi devices which is good.
Xiaomi mi5 is it new make?
Xiaomi has created U.S. wait AN awfully lasting for a successor to the Mi four, and, thankfully, we've got not been saddened. The Mi five offers a chic and applied science unibody style and guarantees high performance, due to its flower 820 processor and Adreno GPU.
Marshmallow, along side Xiaomi’s MIUI interface, ensures a high degree of customization choices. The fingerprint scanner and NFC are each valuable additions, enhancing user expertise.
The device’s processor, battery and camera, on paper, area unit promising, and a radical check within the close to future can ensure the extent of the Mi 5’s talents. I would like to say its looming Android Smartphones in India

Thanks for good description!
I'm looking forward to switch from S6 Edge to the Mi5, because I started to hate Samsung (mainly because of their software)...

The camera on the Mi 5 won't be as good as the S6! (Not saying it is bad on the Mi 5. Just prepare yourself)
Why this: Samsung puts pretty nice cameras in phones and has good software behind it. It's hard to challenge Samsungs position in this matter. (For most brands.)

Yeah I just thought so. But I fortunately don't feel myself beeing a hobby photographer, so it's an issue I can deal with.
Either way Xiaomi will surely release some updates to the Mi5 camera as the OIS has some pretty big bugs.
And because the Mi5 is much cheaper, I can tinker with it. I will most likely try to fit a QI receiver inside on the 1st day (and post the results).

I have just received my mi5 having come from an s6. I havent done a comparison of the camera just yet but initial shots look very good on the mi5. Again I am no photographer so just casual snaps, which are fine on the mi5.

Thanks skoobee. If you can post a couple of low light shots of the two devices, I'll be very grateful.
Apparently gsmarena, unlike every other reviewer, has found a very mature camera performance.
I will try and do that in the next day or two. I have to say I am extremely impressed with the mi5. I was a little worried about signal strength in my house as on the s6 is very very poor and I have to use Wi-Fi calling. With the mi5 I can't use Wi-Fi calling but I don't need to. The signal is about twice that of the s6 but the clarity is so much better is unbelievable (even better than s6 on Wi-Fi calling)

seems good quality video!
I've had no issues at all with 4K video, smooth and jitter free...
And my girlfriend who has been using an S6 for over a year immediately found the Mi 5 camera far superior.
1080p display.... a bit disappointing.,...
I don't see 1080p as a negative. The DPI is 400+, is probably higher than the human eye can see anyway, and higher PPI is sacrificed for better battery life. I find it a bit PPI and mpixel chased a bit strange, especially when our computer monitor 24"+ is typically 1080p. I prefer thing such as quick charge 3.0 and usb c type as the most important things. Coming from HTC - king of bloatware that can't be removed without root, I am looking forward to sleek a Xiaomi

Honor 20 Pro vs Galaxy S10 Snapdragon 855

Hello!
I'm trying to choose between the 2 phones right now. H20P is cheaper, but does not have an OLED screen and I'm not sure about the camera (especially the video quality and the fact that it doesn't support GCam). I currently have a Galaxy A50 and I like everything but the camera.
Are there any comparisons of the actual user experience between the 2 phones? Thanks in advance.
The S10/20p have almost same CPU speed. but S10 have better GPU. however if you are not gamer it's mean nothing.
Honor 20 Pro Camera is much much poor then S10.
(I have HTC U11, S9+, 20P,, In many case 20p photo quality is just poor then U11, it shock me!)
About fingerprint sensor, I like 20p's side sensor more then S10's on-screen sensor.
At least, 20p can't unlook boot loader and can't change default launcher.
If $$$ is not a problem S10 is better,, if think about C/P ratio 20p still a good phone.
I'm not so sure if GalaxyS10 has better camera .. At least at night mode, let's watch this part of XDA video: https://youtu.be/tnz5Pul2Qk8?t=746
For me is Honor20Pro better option, LCD without flickering, no extra rounded edges, 4Ah battery and, IMHO, better camera (f/1.4, 1/2").. and cost is, at least, 100euro lower :]. I"m able to get over QI/reverse charging, audio jack and a little bit wider UW camera.

Note 10 plus or 7tp

So I've ventured back to android again wanting somewhat of a break from ios.
I decided to take the plunge on the note 10 but discovered that the majority of users don't get the snapdragon varient.... Which was some what of an annoyance considering it seems to be the better performing chip!
I've ordered a 7t Pro which arrives In the next few days and I'll highly expect I'll be returning the note.
Has anyone else come from the new note or tried it compaired to the 7tp?
For my uses (Gaming, Quick point and shoot camera, large screen) it makes massively more sense over the note 10.
Also... That refresh rate :victory:

Also - does anyone know if you can somehow stream the phone to Windows like the note can
I have a Note 10+5G. The 7T Pro is much smoother scrolling. I also prefer the color on the 7T pro. The one big advantage to the Note is the screen size. My work phone is a S10+ and that's closer to the 7T Pro size. Disadvantage of the Samsung phones is the horrible Bixby and UI. I prefer a closer to stock Android experience. I'm keeping both for now.

Well, the Note+ is 6.8" and the 7T Pro is 6.4". Not that big a difference but it seems bigger.
As to why plan to keep both... I've been buying 1+ phones since the beginning. I like the stability of the Samsung phones as daily drivers but like to mess with ROM's so I keep the Note for daily use and mess with the 7T Pro in my spare time. Also, I have an issue with buying the latest/greatest phones Since I never pay retail for a phone, and keep them in perfect condition, I sell many on Swappa and don't really lose much money. I don't make money but spending 50 bucks to play with a new phone for 3-6 months is worth it for me. It's basically my only hobby.

After having the OnePlus now, is agree that the note still feels a lot bigger...I think it's the width that gives it that feeling.
Anyway ... Major remorse.... Note 10 plus was just the nicer feeling phone.

I feel the 7T Pro McLaren is a better overall device. Just wish I could get it on VZW's network. TM is horrible in my area.
I've been coming down the same road, currently staying with the Note10+, though.
I agree with the comments above that the 7TP is generally smoother and faster in handling, at least from the feeling. Actual game or app loading times are pretty comparable. My Note10+ is with Exynos CPU and it is less performant than the 855+, especially in graphic-intense applications like COD. A surprise was camera, as the Note10+ camera is in my opinion inferior to the one on the 7TP with GCAM.
As for size while the phones are pretty comparable in size the Note10+ screen "feels" bigger, maybe due to the more squareish appearance and the less pronounced curve in the edges . The 7TP is nicer in handling due to its more rounded corners, though.
I'll stay on the Note10+ for the time being and wait for the OP8...

Any Disappointment After the Unveiling?

For me, the only slight disappointment is the lack of 120Hz at the highest resolution. I heard conflicting rumors on that, and I was hoping things would end up the other way. But not a huge deal, really.
Everything else was what I'd hoped! Got the + version of the snapdragon, price was reasonable for what it is, pre-order deals are sweet enough to entice me, new s-pen features look exciting, it got the new Gorilla Glass I hoped for, it's for every hardware spec I could want (maybe 5000 mAh battery would be cooler, but whatever, battery life is plenty with the past devices for me), beautiful finishes (the matte bronze... Awesome... But why does the Ultra not get that sweet green variety??), amazingly low response time on s-pen, integration with Windows/Microsoft/Xbox, phenomenal camera specs (I don't need 100 times meaningless digital zoom), got the laser autofocus thing to help speed up focusing... This thing is perfect, basically.
If I could build the perfect phone, it'd be this one with an IR blaster, fingerprint scanner on the back (or improved in-screen), camera under screen instead of punchout, slightly larger battery, and 256GB base storage. Maybe 16GB of RAM just to be ridiculous. MAYBE a slightly higher optical zoom. But now I'm just being picky. This is as close to perfect as I've seen a phone be in my lifetime.
Same here. [email protected] Hope they enable it (if it's capable) with an update. Seeing the S20 has not gotten it, I'm not holding my breath. Odd that that specific item took away all the excitement I had for this device.
You honestly can't notice a difference when you change resolutions. I looks good and feels really snappy either way. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and its been just fine for me.

I really thought they'd add it just to differentiate it from the S20 Ultra some more. Not too big a deal though. I just peeked for fun, and I was running my Note10+ on 1080p without realizing it. Haha.
I'm still pumped for that smooth scrolling, 5G, 9ms latency on s-pen, and the overall beauty of that phone.

Oh dang... Yeah man, I had a Note8, Note9, Note10+, and now will have Note20 Ultra... EVERY one of those phones felt a lot nicer than the last... So yes, you're gonna have your socks knocked off!
> Sticking to the same ice-age tiny and not-so-reliable FP scanner and not implementing the newer 3D Sonic Max Sensor(which is not even very new to have an excuse)!
> Reduction of 500 mAh from the S20 Ultra to feed the same display size in the Note 20 Ultra!
(Instead of reducing the thickness of the N20U coming from the S20U, Sammy most probably could have retained the same thickness or even made it little thicker to have the same 5000 mAh b).
> Not having an option to use 120 Hz RR at QHD+!
- are my disappointments.
As for battery, on the plus side the better screen type, better CPU, and the dynamic refresh rate should balance the scales. I bet battery life will exceed the S20 Ultra, actually!
The FP scanner is tolerable but I would have LOVED to hear about improvements. So there's a better one out there?? Man... What a missed opportunity.

It being LTPO, adaptive RR is the whole and lone advantage I think for batterylife. And "plus" version of the SD SoC drains more battery than the vanilla one is what I know of, as the cores are clocked higher. This adaptive/dynamic RR would be a big plus and SD version will have good batt. life considering all factors even though batt. is now small.
Batt. endurance isn't/wasn't looking good in the Exynos counterparts in the S20 series. Will it be better this time around with a "small" battery and not so batt.-friendly SoC? ... don't know. It's still Exynos 990 and not 992 or something to have an architectural advantage created using in different febricated process. Rumors suggest CPU/GPU improvements in some ways, and I'm confused here if battery effeciency would be a part of it due to less heat/throttle.. Or to rule them all, adaptive RR is more than enough here too, to have more battery life than before?
The FP recognition is improved and responsive apparently.

Oh really? Was that true on the S-series this year or it that Note-specific? I've not read anything about that anywhere!
As for the rest of your comment... I guess we'll just wait and see! I'm not worried about battery at all, but I am in the US so the Snapdragon is why I'm not worried. Over my Note10+, this battery is LARGER and this generation of CPU may be more efficient so I'm guessing my battery life will be on par with this after adding in the 120Hz.

Yes, you're good there. I get to use Exynos and gives battery anxiety by late afternoon when used in mobile data(S20+) on moderate use @120 Hz, have doubt on the Shannon modem as well..
Will wait and see for the rest!
From my mate pro 10 :
1/ mobile dock, a great feature
2/ battery duration very low ! 1 day !
3/ fingerprint not really accurate
4/ overheat easy
Carrier specific Video calling?
So I see in another thread that someone with Verizon has a similar problem and I have T-mobile but can anyone confirm or deny the carrier specific video calling function? Look like (even in settings I checked) that the function is just not there for this device and you can only use DUO. I even downloaded The official T-mobile firmware and flashed my device twice this morning (1x with regular CSC file and another with the HOME CSC file and it made no difference). I bought mine carrier unlocked but the theory was flashing the firmware for T-mobile would've enabled those features but not even getting the T-mobile logo.
Can anyone confirm the same? I have the Note 20 and not the Ultra but it shouldn't make a difference.

Look like (even in settings I checked) that the function is just not there for this device and you can only use DUO. I even downloaded The official T-mobile firmware and flashed my device twice this morning (1x with regular CSC file and another with the HOME CSC file and it made no difference). I bought mine carrier unlocked but the theory was flashing the firmware for T-mobile would've enabled those features but not even getting the T-mobile logo.
Can anyone confirm the same? I have the Note 20 and not the Ultra but it shouldn't make a difference.

Confirmed. I'm in the US, on T-MOBILE. I can use both carrier specific video calling and Duo.

Question Is the phone worth it

currently using s20+. Upgrade or nahh?
I am satisfied with phone.
It's bigger than 6A which was my first choice, but I have decided for 6.
I didn't own any Samsung phone before so I can't compare.
I reviews people sad that they have problems with fingerprint sensor, but for me, it's ok.
It doesn't have macro mode in camera but you can use 4X zoom for close up photos.
Now I'm in search for good case
The Pixel 6 is a nice, solid phone, but honestly I don't think it'd be much of an upgrade from the S20+. The Pixel's processor/GPU are a bit faster and you'd notice that in games, but otherwise the S20+ is actually better (resolution, refresh rate, screen size, camera quality).
