Soup Sandwich , 10 Apr 2024Same here, still on my S20 5G, with all the original parts,... moreSumsung s20 5G don't esim why

    I got to say, some brands have hw good enough to last for years, even comparing to latest flagships in good lighting conditions.
    Some updates are worthy too, like mine s21u improved significantly, feels like magic.
    (Well, raws aside.)

      I just wish the galaxy tablets had unlockable bootloaders or were given a much longer software support, especially since samsung has an 18 month release cycle for tablets instead of 12 months.

            808Keys, 10 Apr 2024Do security patches really matter?I lock my door at night, even though nobody has ever attempted to enter my home. Security patches really don't have a downside, so I do care about them. An extra safeguard is always nice when you entrust your phone with important data.

                The implementations in phones these days barely shows any difference compared to those unless you count some very specific situations. On the PC side is where the AI stuff actually helps significantly.

                    i still use S20 5g because there is no better phone on that size or smaller.

                      808Keys, 10 Apr 2024Do security patches really matter?Well i have Avast Antivirus in my phone and have zero issues with my device. had zero issues with ym previous devices with avast antivirus installed in them.
                      Running same avast antivirus on my laptop since a very long time and had never issues with my laptop.
                      By the way people who dont use their phone as credit card should have zero issues with security.

                          I though the s20 was a complete scam. when I purchased the S20 with the hype of the camera. it was no way any good in real like situations compared to how the protrayed it on stage with all the unnatural lighting on stage.

                            Azu10157, 10 Apr 2024I actually find the AI useful when removing things I don�... morethe photo editing crap is the only useful thing about it, and pretty sure it doesn't require the latest hardware...

                              So Samsung does something positive and extends the lifespan of these phones by continuing software support and you are still moaning and complaining in the comments?!

                                Maybe because they try to repair their expert raw app's problem with raws being raws...
                                At least I hope so.

                                  Vip Nhoc, 10 Apr 2024No android 14 with One UI 6.1 and Galaxy AI = USELESS!!!I actually find the AI useful when removing things I don't want in photos and 1UI 6.1 isn't that bad. Although I swear they made things less one-hand friendly and moved some elements around from 5.1

                                    I have the S20 5G and it works like a charm till now, so no need to change it till it dies.
                                    Not a single problem since 2020 ans still with the original battery that last a day of moderate usage.
                                    The QHD display is still gorgeous.

                                      This model should have had 7 years of support, not speaking of newer ones.

                                        The s20 ultra even in these times moves like silk with more than decent photographs, much better than some current high-mid range even within Samsung
