Thanks but no thanks, 05 Aug 2020The main problem is that the note in Europe and the Middle ... moreThe E990 is very, very bad. It overheats and causes bad battery life, bad photos, bad performance. Many Youtubers, e.g. WhoIsTheBoss showed it too.

    Anonymous, 05 Aug 2020Note line doesn’t sell well since note 9 nothing new.That's true. I still have my Note 8 which I'm using now. I have been a Sammy user the last 5 years. I really wanted to upgrade to Note 20 Ultra but with that insane price tag, the garbage E990 chip and garbage camera, it won't happen.

    I'm jumping on board of the Apple ship this year.

      harwey, 05 Aug 2020I disagree about that 108 Mp Isocell camera.I agree Samsung... moreGood point - the Mi 10 Pro actually did have the best camera. DxO-mark showed that too.
      I can't wait to see what Mate 40 Pro brings to the camera-game:)

            Anonymous, 05 Aug 2020Lidar is Tof. Nope. ToF method were just like a spotlight to sense depth of object, whereas LiDAR just like a particle of dotted laser like which object depth sense will be much more accurate.

                          Starting prices are for 4G or 5G devices!?
                          I am asking since at "new devices " section of this site, there is both versions of Note 20 Ultra.

                            bronze stylus and gapps ... end of transmission.

You can get the s20 plus or s20 for less with those features, baffled by Samsung's choices!

They didn't even bother to change the garbage E990 chip. They have been so lazy this year and the entire Sammy 2020 line-up has been one epic fail.

                                    I don't think the Note 20 Ultra will sell well - especially not for that insane price in a corona epidemic.

                                    The 108MP camera is a big joke. This camera is actually worse compared to the Note 10+'s camera which is average at best.

                                        Samsung should seriously reconsider their strategy around their flagships; they should follow Apple and go with just "one perfect" flagship in an year, rather than all those S-series and their 5Gs and then all these Notes and their 5Gs. It's very expensive and useless at the same time.
                                        Samsung should also reconsider their mid-rangers, like their is the Axx-series then Axxs-series then Mxx-series then Mxxs-series and then S/Note-lite-series, like seriously wtf!
                                        Keep it simple like Google or Apple, don't follow the footsteps of those bullshit chinese counterparts: new phone every month!
