    Botti, 11 Aug 2020I hate that camera box with passion. You cant put the phone... moreFully agree !

      Come on... 950 bucks for "vanilla" Note 20(e or lite)... Really, Samsung? Because of what? The pen?... I guess the Chinese manufacturers haven't remembered you and your S pen yet. When they eventually do, I wonder what type of rope will be able to hold your customers. Must you force exynos chipsets on people? The rest of the world still wants Snapdragon. Don't make me think that the last good Note was Note 9. The world is catching up and some are already ahead... and the best u can do is this? I don't know if I'm asking too much... Or am I the only one complaining here?. Do The right thing Sam.

        I hate that camera box with passion. You cant put the phone to table without it taking the impact.

            Connection issues? Go trrrrolll somewhere else.

            You still using Samsung? Even after hating them in every thread?
            What happened to iPhone pro Max?
            You are full of lies.

            200 plus games run on 120fps.
            100 plus games run on 144fps.
            All that out of the box without modyfing any data.
            Afcourse people using 50$ phones who make judgements about devices based on what they read online will have zero clue of how things work.

                I've ordered iPad Pro 2020 instead of giving the same money to Samsung for Exynos this year.
                Feels great.

                  SA Woodlawn, 10 Aug 2020"So, how fast can the Note20 phones charge? 25 watts. ... moreAt least GSMarena sees what we see and are willing to call out any maker for their bs.

                  We need more of this instead of favourable reviews. It is not acceptable when they are asking for as much money as they are.

                      Disgraceful behaviour from Samsuck. I have vowed to never buy another Samsuck phone until this changes. The only way it will change is if we punish Samsuck for thinking they can jack up the prices (we pay more than the USA) and give us inferior chipset. The USA gives them favourable reviews all the damn time and I, for one, am not having any of it anymore.

                      Got rid of the headphone and this pathetic excuse for a processor at this price range...hope you go out of business Samsuck.

                      I see this Note 20 series failing. Hard. Why spend the money on this crap when you could get the Note 10 or Note 9? All very capable phones and maybe even better equipped? That's before looking at other manufacturers also.

                        I was hoping the NOTE 20 will be my 4th NOTE phone. But since I am living in Europe, the difference I will get from those living in USA is way to high for the same money (Exynos 990 vs. Snapdragon 865+). I really have the feeling they consider Europeans as being just plain stupid people. So I will wait for another year to see a change in SAMSUNG attitude. And if meanwhile my NOTE 8 will not survive, then I will just buy something else than SAMSUNG. There is plenty of fishes in the sea. Bye-bye S-Pen!!!

                              Anonymous, 10 Aug 2020Game of Peace aka Chinese version of pubg runs at 120fps. Who plays that junk? Yeah it does have great graphics, run at 120fps depending on your phone (which is a great benchmarking tool), but it's in Chinese and you'll be likely to face server connection issues. Tried in my Samsung (downloaded from TapTap) and won't download in-game resources, so I gave up.

                              Only few modern games run at 120fps, most being capped to 60fps, unless you modify in-game data (which is a breach of game policy and many people have been caught doing so).

                                "So, how fast can the Note20 phones charge? 25 watts. Even the Galaxy S20 Ultra could do 45 W (assuming you bought a separate charger), why are we taking a step back to 25 W? We know that some prefer charging the phone slowly to extend battery life. But you can always do that, even if it supports 100 W. The opposite, however, is not true."

                                Lol this bit got me rolling... 😂😂😂

                                  Just kidding bro....^^

                                    It doesnt support 45W charging because Samsungs 25W charger charges it at the same speed.

                                      "On paper, the smaller 12 MP sensor that sits behind the new periscope seems like a downgrade. However, the new optics may prove to be just what was needed to improve the image quality of zoom shots"
                                      It's rather the opposite. Smaller sensors with the same megapixel number let you capture more details from distant objects than a large sensor with the same megapixel count. Some people take photos of Saturn with a telescope and with a sensor that is as large as the sensor of the iPhone 6s. A large sensor with the same megapixel count would rather lead to worse results.
                                      The periscope lens of the Note 20 Ultra will capture less light from distant objects due to the smaller entrance pupil. So when it comes to distant objects it's the opposite: The new sensor could give it an advantage whereas the new lens could give it a disadvantage in average light conditions.
