    Its very hard to place any value in samsung galaxy reviews given they sell completely different products under the same brand label. While car manufacturers may sell V8/V6/4 & hybrid variants in the same chassis they do not pretend they are the same car. If the heart of the machine is different, it is not the same. To pretend computers with different primary components are the same is plainly wrong and an intentional deception on the consumer. So reviewing a Samsung Galaxy products as S20 xyz is just plainly misleading, confusing and deceptive. Do you get a V8 or crank wind up start elastic band heart. Sites should just not review products where the sales marketing and branding are identical but the products are not. If Samsung want to sell a bar of silver with gold plating as a gold bar in some economies they should be called out for their deception it is not the same ans should bot be branded as a gold bar. To avoid confusion review sites such as GSM Arena should cease use of the sales brand labels such as "S20" or "S21" and state only the specific model number of the actual device they are reviewing. Where they do not they only contribute to the marketing deception.. ive used galaxy phones for a decade and the xynos variants have always got uncomfortable hot. You need to change ears every few minutes and know the heats is cooking something in your head. My next phone will likley be a grey import oneplus or sony x5ii, maybe a google as i dont condone samsungs continued deceptive marketing practices and i just want a compact reliable phone that doesn't get so damn hot and one with marketing and reviews that match what is actually delivered in the box

      So, bad build quality, mediocre battery life, terrible fingerprint sensor (4/10 in the morning) and average design.

            have purchased samsung note 20 ultra. Right from day 1 lot of complaints like heating upto 46 degrees and battery lasting for jus 6 to 7 hrs with minimal usage that too on fhd and 60hz display..moving round service centres and talking to cc with poor response. They want my mobile for verification for 2 weeks its eems to inspect technical issues...when they knew n understand that mobile has issues after inspection why dont they refund. Poor quality mobiles by samsung at huge prices. It seems like samsung downfall began... most unprofessional mobile company. So cheap in its tricks.

                I'm the owner of S20 and regarding the cameras - I would have expected more from the zoom camera. It's just mediocre during the daylight and totally useless indoor on at dark. It has benefits such as 64 MPx photos which I find being better than S20 Ultra's 108 MPx.

                This high-resolution mode is very beneficial when taking photos from viewpoints. You can zoom in after taking the photo and resolve really, really insane amount of details. Nevertheless, I personally would have appreciated regular x3 tele lens such as S20 FE more. I think x3 (or more) zoom photos is used dozens of times more than high-res.

                  The missing of the battery stats were not so quickly fixed with an update to the 'Device Care' application in the playstore which seemed to fix the issue for my One UI 3.0 running S20+

                      I thing this Phone is perfekt. To hold, and the size is not oversized to hold and have in the pocket.

                            I think the S20+ is a really good part of the S20 family, because it is a better deal than the regular S20 smartphone. I can't wait to see the new models and all of the upgraded features and new chips. I think the only bad thing is the updates only being for 2 years and the Exynos chipsets in some countries.

                                Superb phone. Nice ,useful camera , good battery life, amazing display, brilliant stereo sound. Fluid and smooth touch function. No lagging, no hanging, no heating. Best phone now. Extremely user friendly as it is happy to hold and low weight and perfect dimensions. Another gem from Samsung.

                                      RazrFlip, 08 Jan 2021After a year, what is the remaining maximum capacity of the... moreMy battery still lasts all day, no problem, but yes noticeably less than new, 3017 mAh sounds about right, I've not measured.

                                      Ideally leave home 100% charged.

                                      No need for anxiety, if you think you could run out of battery, just make sure that you are able to charge your Note9 according to your environment, take/ have your:
                                      USB-A to USB-C lead with you to charge in a vehicle, if you have access to a power socket at some point then take the power brick as well.

                                      If you won't have any access to electricity then take a portable power bank, you probably already have one, test it's up to the job first before you rely on it.
                                      If you need to get one, I think 10,000 mAh capacity is currently best bang for buck.
                                      In the meantime you could use your phone's Medium or even Maximum power saving mode.

                                      When your Note9 battery is no longer holding a reasonable charge, then you can get it replaced, contact Samsung for advice.
