What about the S8's Red Tint and burn-in problem? The S10's slow fingerprint scanner?
The S20 Ultra's disappointing focusing capabilities is hardware-related, and software enhancements can only do a little help.

      According to the latest leak Samsung might use the Exynos 990 in Samsung galaxy A71 5G.
      If this is true(I think not) the note line might get new exynos SoC.

          It is pretty much garbage because you pay the same amount or even more in Europe for an SoC which drains the battery and runs hot. You are probably more likely to suffer burn in because of this since heat is being dissipated through the display. And all that for the low low price of 1349€ haHAA

            Yesterday the news was 60% down compared to S10 lineup in the same period from launch to date.

              Anyway I didn't say something wrong, exynos 990 is still flagship grade, some people just blindly hate and exagerate in doing so. I know it is less efficient than SD 865, but it is still more than enough for most users. No offense but people who buy a phone for 1400$ will just buy it for the name and gimmicky features just for show off. Like WOW I HAVE I CAN AFFORD IT LOL LOSERS.

                making fake sales hype about their over priced phone? guess what , i am not surprised.
                bring in official numbers.

Those including you who have slated this camera either don't have the phone or don't know how to use it properly hence leading to the thought that the camera is not impressive.

                      The chip set in EU is not the same as US. There are deep root issues, cam cant perform to 100% due to issues. New chip will be in market in June.

Even camera performance in the S20U is not impressive.

                          And the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max still sells even better than the S20 Ultra despite my predicitions this is going to be a flop (considering price and limited amount of features). Well, Samsungs have been a laughing stock in front of Apple and even some Chinese OEMs especially Xiaomi, really. $1400 just to get useless 5G and comes with poor Exynos chipset and subpar camera hardware with autofocus issues (Notebookcheck has mentioned this).

                            Have yet to see anyone with it

                              Exynos is inefficient because they try to match clock speeds with snapdragon. It simply can't keep up and overheats as a result of higher voltage, drains the battery and throttles speeds. And apparently lower cache is also causing all the inefficiency.

                              You can see this in your Galaxy A50 as well. It runs hotter, is less efficient and performs a little worse than the snapdragon 665. Btw, using a fixed IP is not smart, you should change that.

                                    Are the software updates making the phone better than the initial issue phones? The prestige buyers? They might get a surge with special offers in lower tier buyers. Patient buyers will be rewarded as the economy nose dives.
