No thanks! Sticking with my Note 9 until Samsung comes back to its senses!
Hopefully what happened with S5 plays out

    Nick.B, 18 Aug 2020You do know find x2 pro screen is not Samsung? Meaning I co... moreWho made the Oppo display then ?
    I mean the display is HDR 10+.
    Normally Samsung made display features HDR 10+.
    Chinese displays usually feature HDR 10 only.
    But as I'm not sure about this. Can say it's made by Samsung or anything.
    But seeing the specs one can say it might be.

        if it had an under display camera maybe, as is ...it's just a small increment update at a huge price point. ...definitely a no from me.

          So, the Note 20 is not better at periscope night take.
          That's what I feared.
          Should have gone with 12MP 1/2.55" for the periscope too.

                Put Note 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10 and 20 side by side.
                Will not seen any improvement in image quality.
                Same issues : yellow tones for white, gray and green. Also the orange cast for red.

                  I don't get it

                  I mean, this is clearly a phone aimed at tech enthusiasts

                  And if you can overlook the chipset situation and buy
                  the Exynos phones anyway, then you're not a tech enthusiast.

                  Jeez even if you're not a tech-head you can't overlook the fact that
                  they're selling you a vastly inferior device for the same price.

                  Which makes me wondering who the hell is gonna buy the Exynos Note20s.

                  I don't get it

                    Recently I've read S20 Ultra review here at GSMA and it was great,especially the 'conclusion' part of the article Several serious issues with it,chipset,display and it's Hulk mode,cannot have highest refresh rate and highest res at the same time(!?!),few annoying things about OS and troubling AF on the camera.This Note is almost exactly the same phone but suddenly for some reason it's great..Is that Pen so mesmerizing so you'll forget about all those issues and unload $1.5k??And, as people are commenting,so many great,actually working phones,for (a lot) less...Personally,Mi 10 Ultra,even better but for $500-600 less,and sadly without pencil to hypnotize you...:)

                      Nick.B, 18 Aug 2020I have autofocus wide camera on my find x2pro, 12-bit color... moreFidn X2 pro has best screen on market.
                      This screen is brighter and has Adaptive technology.
                      But it tops out at 1080p 120hz.

                        In the Note 9 review done by GSMArena, the Galaxy Note 9 had a rated battery test score of 97. So in 2 years, Samsung's best phones still can't topple it? I'll stick with my Note 9 lol

                                I really have started to worry about the biasness about gsmarena reviews! Surely the note 20 ultra is a great phone, not for all however due to the hefty price tag. What disappoints me is the fact that lg v60 dual screen is missing from the comparison when it is an excellent device for multitasking!!!Seems like phones' greatness nowadays is measured only by the screen refresh rate and camera performance!!!

                                        It's a lower, midrange-chip that they have used in a premium flagship, charging a premium price for it.

                                        They should be sued for scamming customers like that. You cannot use lower, midrange chips in your flagships dude..
