The refresh rate is something, but then you lose the audio Jack which is a lot more useful than a higher refresh rate

          "The thing is though, the Ultra is quick to throttle even after just one benchmark run and subsequent runs bring those results to less impressive values. It heats up substantially under load too."

          Exynos...ouch

            So Ugllyyy and terrified camera replacement....

            Scary camera hump....

              Those weak 3000+ mah batteries from Sony would need to be charged frequently, thereby causing more charge cycles resulting in faster degradation over time.

              Chinese flagships way ahead in providing bigger and better batteries with cutting edge improvements in fast charging technology. As I said, Sony simply playing catchup.
              You can continue using your 5W charger to prolong it's battery health uptil 2030.

                Shanti Dope, 29 Feb 2020120Hz or not, display feels buttery smooth like a true high... moreMotion blur crap designed to give you experience of true high refresh rate display...blah blah blah. All therotical garbage. In real world touch experience is way below par compared to true high refresh rate displays. I know you a Sony brandboy, so stop justifying their decision and demand Sony to unlock the 120hz refresh rate on their phone.

                You can live with 10w chargers uptil 2030. I don't care. People want to adopt newer faster tech.Most other users want quick top up. In half and hour, you go from 0 to 64% for 5000mAh battery. Which phone has shown significant battery degradation due to fast charging that had to be replaced within 2 years? Heck phones from 5 years back with fast charging run just fine with minor degradation every year. Replacing batteries is also super cheap 30-40 dollars. most users might need a battery replacement Only after 5 years of heavy usage.

                Not gonna argue about screen, S20 simply is the best. And so have the Galaxy S/Note series displays been since their inception.

                  My Note 10 Plus is invincibaaaaaaaaaaaar!

                    Literally goes to show you how little the battery numbers don't always reflect the true story!
                    Now we'll go and wait for the Xperia 1 Mark II to crush this phone with 88h endurance rating despite the higher resolution with nearly the same high refresh rate, as well as a smaller battery in comparison.
                    Oh, and yes, also WITH 5G sub-6GHz!

                          Flgshp2020, 29 Feb 2020Forget periscope camera, lets talk about natural background... moreThe periscope camera produces more background blur (regarding a distant background) than the main camera! The main camera has an entrance pupil of 3.9mm whereas the periscope camera has 5.4mm.
                          Most reviewers are not aware of this.

                            Photos are oversharpened so much they look horrible.

                            Hopefully they'll fix this issue.

                              Lol wow Samsung... So many fails

                              Thank god they don't enable 120hz at 1440p. Then the battery life would be 50hrs...

                              Displaymate claims this OLED is the best they tested and it get a delta e of 2.2?? The LCD on the redmi k30 comes in at 1.0

                              The daylight photos are ok but the night mode ones have so much noise in the highlights

                              The Chipsets gets too hot when doing benchmarks

                              Then there is the fake x1.06 zoom on the S20/s20+ line..

                              I wonder if techtalktv is gonna post a video on Samsung lying like he always does for Huawei..

                              But I digress this S20 ultra underperforms like hell

                                S10e = 3100mAh, 83h (smaller screen)

                                Xperia 1 = 3300mAh , 79h
                                S10= 3400, smaller screen of lower resolution , 79h

                                Note 10 = 3500 mAh, 92h, 7nm cpu + oled + smaller screen

                                Is Samsung still using LG batteries?

                                  I considered replacing my Galaxy S9 plus with this monster. But finally I decided to look for another alternative. This phone is too expensive, too thick, too heavy. The camera array stands out from the device a bit too much, and the photography in them doesn't really bring anything new. Plus Samsung's insistence on leaving the previous fingerprint sensor really belittles us. I will explore other alternatives. Maybe the S21 next year will convince me more

                                    Anonymous, 28 Feb 2020Screen is not 120hz available to user. Otherwise Sony would... more120Hz or not, display feels buttery smooth like a true high refresh rate screen. The Motion Blur Reduction method is also a way of having a high refresh rate, except it does it just as effectively as having a real one without the battery life penalty brought by high refresh rates. If that doesn't count to you as a positive, then you're completely out of your mind.

                                    600-800 cycles may sound a lot, but in reality, you can easily do that in just 6 months of usage.
                                    Isn't 50% in 30 minutes enough for you, that you still want an even faster one? I've been living with 10W chargers my whole life like iPhone users and not even once have I ever complained about it being so slow, and yes I have tried a phone with super fast charging, but it's just not worth the battery degredation compromise.

                                    Aside from DisPAIDMate who claims this phone's display to be the best by testing 3 out of a million phones in the world, who else could scientifically confirm this to be the absolute best?
                                    Sony destroys this in shear resolution. Even last year's Xperia 5 had a more color accurate display, if that's your thing.
                                    Brightness wise, this may be the most impressive, but exactly for how long? Oh yeah, a good 30 seconds!
                                    And whoever says a screen with a cutout is better than those without one is a pure disgrace to humanity. There's no arguing of that.

                                        Same thing on the Mi Note 10.

                                        No need for portrait mode. Best natural bokeh on a smartphone.
