Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra long-term review

20 July 2020


Sort by:

[deleted post]The bad camera performance is a hardware problem that can not be fixed, I think Samsung failed this time, I feel sorry for the people who bought this phone thinking they will have a better camera than iphone, Huawei, Xiaomi, oppo cameras.

        So high price, not very ultra wide camera, so so batterylife, ghost touches are a problem, and a fingerprint sensor that doesnt work all the time.. yeah sounds like a great deal at only 1100 Euro

              I am using the 120hz setting, and I regularly get 6 to 7 hours if screen on time. Some times I go about 3 days between charging.

              I have the snapdragon version though.

Buds+ is 99€ which is very reasonable. Dongles are terrible though and for me its still annoying because I havent been able to afford proper wireless yet as I am student.

It is not only Samsung.

                        "ULTRA LONG TERM REVIEW" wtf the phone barely been out a year. A long term review is when the phone stop receiving updates/firmware. When you have like a 100 apps on your phone running out of storage because your 10000 pics. And seeing your ram usage @80% and thinking that's normal. After getting your screen replace and being surprised it lasted that. THATS A ULTRA LONG TERM REVIEW.

Huawei's P40 Pro with just 4200mah battery, 90hz, 2640 x 1200 can last 7+ hours.. And charge very fast wired or wirelessly. Wired (40W) 80% in 30 min, (27W wireless) 50% in 30 min. When it comes to battery, Huawei is the best overall package, fast charging and long endurance.

                            Next Samsung flagships should have :
                            1. QHD+ and 120hz option
                            2. Autofocus on Ultrawide for macro
                            3. Dual Aperture and Dual Pixel AF for Main camera
                            4. Make the design more intresting
                            5. Curve the screens just like the S20 series (not too much and too less)
                            6. Make the Exynos chip better
                            7. Add an IR Blaster
                            8. Add an Headphone jack
                            9. Improve your video quality at 8k24fps

                                    the one thing that makes me happy about this phone is that i didn't buy it.

                                      Great to see the camera improve after a bunch of updates but still bad with battery (5 hours SOT? My LG V20 with 5,000mAH battery can pound 7+ on a full charge with full 2K resolution).

                                      Oh well. Glad I didn't spend the money on this thing. The headphone jack removal after insulting Apple for doing it basically made me never want to purchase a Samsung phone in my lifetime.

                                        What! this phone have a working auto brightness.
                                        My 1+ 7 Pro refuse to believe such thing exist.
