"features-speculation" right there, in the URL. It is speculation (guessing) what features will be in the phone, nothing confirmed.

Not confirmed yet but i bet it will be hidden under Display, plus i am not gonna go backwards if on a Note , S series is no doubt excellent, but it just can't compete with a Note, that is why i go from Note to Note, definitely use Spen alot.

That's fine, even though I am a phone nut and am going from a note 10+ 5G (Verizon) to a S20 Ultra (unlocked) I don't recommend others upgrading every 6 months (or even yearly) because it's not economical. I just don't want to give the impression to others that the under display camera is a sure thing or even very likely. Currently one phone had it and the camera is a potato from what I understand.

I agree.. I'm a note guy... It's just something special bout getting a new note yr after yr... And the notes always seems to be better than the S line

Just played with this baby in best buy. Good phone, but no sense of upgrading if you already have note 11. Especially for the price. The thing I loved the most surprisingly was the new camera app, not the camera itself. I like how it zooms and the new mode that takes all kind of shots that it thinks are good... If only we could get the camera apk and make it work on our note 10s... 120hz is rather cool, but again not for the price. The difference In smoothness is there of course, but it's not that dramatic. I've scrolled note 10 and s20 ultra side by side and the difference is really visible when you scroll FAST.

Agree it's nice phone, but definitely it's a downgrade from a Note10 Plus,.

If I had a note 11 I certainly wouldn't but a S20

Ooops Note 10+ of course...

No it's not a downgrade (except for the spen)... But the upgrade price is not justified

Agreed. I might pick one up or the next note in a year or so, used/refurb when the price is cheap enough.

I just made the switch back to Samsung from OnePlus (7pro) and after 2 days of research I finally went to the TMO store and tested the s20u versus the n10+ and after the 30minute venture went with the N10+ 5G for various reasons. Sure I surrender the better connectivity, 240hz touch, 120hz refresh but the form factor and thickness was a big turn off aside from the fact that I prefer the note line. I liked the s20+ better than the Ultra but in the end the N10+ 5G checked every box for me personally. After I left the store I watched a camera comparison posted by NBT (Nothing But Tech) with S20U, P4XL, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. I'm glad I got the N10+ bc for 1600 that camera is not yet warranting that kind of money for me which was icing on the cake.

S20U:
Cons:
Too bulky, heavy/Size
Camera bump too big
Camera performance out of box
120hz @ 1080p only (for now I guess but still)
Price
Lack of S-pen
Screen size
12gb/128gb (seriously!?)

Pros:
SD865
240HZ TOUCH
Display
WQHD+
Battery size
16gb/512gb (but @ 1600 + taxes)
Expandable to 1TB
Cameras (improved over time)
Pro mode awesome
Camera app

Note10+ 5G
S-pen included
Performance
12gb/256gb
Display
WQHD+
Expandable to 1TB
Cameras/tof (optimized with current updates)
Video stabilization/60fps
Plus plus

Cons:
You tell me?

Just cancelled my 20Ultra order and I'm actually sad about it, had high expectations about that camera but I don't wanna take chances running into frustrating "focus" problem as I saw it in the video this morning. The good thing about it is that I have Note 10+, will see if they gonna fix the 20Ultra camera, it is still a few months till Summer and until then the camera price may go below the $200 bonus they offering right now.

Battery life on the Ultra seems crap, especially at 120hz.

Let's hope they've refined the tech by the time the Note 20 arrives, maybe something like adaptive screen refresh rates for different scenarios.

Agree i returned both back , S20 Ultra in my opinion is horrible, will stick with my Note10 Plus.

Battery for the S20 Ultra at 120hz seems to be at par with the Note 10 Plus, a vote to keep the Note 10 Plus in my opinion so far. specially considering the very high price for the Ultra..

Lol.....7 hours SoT is just, terrible I guess.

From a 5000mah battery, yes it is actually.

Oh, so you determine how much battery is good based on battery size but ignore the rest of the phone? Interesting way to determine acceptable battery life. Personally I like to look at it like I do the rest of the things in my life, namely "will this work for my lifestyle"

But you do you boo boo.

How old are you, 5?

34, but thanks.

Why do you ask? Is consequential determination of cake something that confuses you? I don't look at raw numbers and determine what consequential values are appropriate, and even if you do, you should be looking at all the specs not just battery size.

5,000mah with a 6.9" screen running at 120hz and 1080p and a fast processor with lots of RAM will mean less battery life compared to a 5,000mah battery and a mid range processor and much less RAM on a 5", 60hz, 720p screen.
