Let me guess.
Gsma will take photos upload. Like all previous Galaxy, they will look too noisy and oil painting. Like on all other tech site
But magically will look better at youtube and dxo.
LOL .....
Photos from note 9 hands-on were so shocking. They looked like taken by S III at best.

Anonymous, 11 Feb 2020Exyons 990 better when it comes to single core performance,... moreNormal users are interested in two different metrics:
1. how efficient is the phone on idle (sleep) mode - in S10 Exynos is terribly inferior in battery performance to Snapdragon
2. how efficient is the phone while serving location requests - Snapdragon 865 will have special GPS support for this, Exynos will probably suck your battery dry in 1 hour of navigating while driving your car.
I have doubt any of those YouTube influencers paid to push hype after every phone release (just for that phone to be totally forgotten a month later) will actually properly test those two Exynos vs Snapdragon metrics. More likely they will pretend there's only Snapdragon and EU users can go shaft themselves. I'm not buying into this again.

Martin, 11 Feb 2020I respect Samsung for being a leader in innovation. Cameras... moreThis is 8K camera as much as Netfilx UHD content is UHD. Most of the camera technology in mobile is aimed solely to sell you a new phone and to look good on small screen and that's about it. Yesterday I was shooting with iPhone 11 Pro on overcast day and every photo looked like HDR tonemapped image from 15 years ago when the technology became a fad. I simply cannot turn off that artificial look. It might be great for Insta generation who sees that for the first time I dunno.

Since this is 5G only model, does it mean that it will not work on Canadian networks as we are still on 4G/LTE?

chester, 11 Feb 2020Lol...glad to see not everyone is being fooled by Samsung..... moreExyons 990 better when it comes to single core performance, snapdragon 865 better when it comes to multicore performance and single core performance more important than multicore performance when it comes to overall performance. Yeah Adreno GPU might be better, but new Mali GPU’s not that far behind Adreno I can play COD without drop frame or overheating issue plus snapdragon as Soc still has overheating issue and this coming from my experience with MI9 and one plus 7pro snapdragon 855.

Phone Arena says the default video is 1080p, to not use much space.
Of course Dx0 will change to 8K, but not even put the 4K for some phones.
LOL !!!!!!

Chances are, Exynos 990 is a piece of junk that can barely keep up with an S855.
It's a shame, Samsung is being truly disrespectful to theirs global customers by still including it in the S20.

"Samsung has a Nonacell setup - 9 pixel squares get their light and color data bundled-up digitally into a single "virtual" pixel."
Usually this doesn't happen digitally. Only when they use the HDR algorithm. In extreme low light conditions they will surely combine the pixels on a hardware level, which reduces read noise, but lowers the resolution. Quad Bayer/Tetracell Pixel binning are NOT software algorithms, this is a hardware technique in order to get rid of read noise. Quad Bayer HDR is software. These are different things.
