The screen for me is superb, the fingerprint sensor is mediocre at best unless you tweak the sensitivity setting.
The camera is downright poor, take a picture of someone and and have a look at their skin and it looks like they have makeup on for a TV show. I'm hoping to try it out in better light and do a few phone calls on it, before I make the decision to keep it or return it.

S20's screen looks like it has a gray filter on it. It's not so vivid, although it's set on vivid.
Camera sucks, battery too.

I think the battery issue is related to the chipset. It's a shame Samsung is selling Exynos only in many countries. I can't really recommend you any alternative if you don't have access to any Snapdragon variants.
I hope you can sort it out :/

AnonD-908380, 14 Mar 2020I assume you have the Exynos version? I won't buy any Samsu... moreYes I have the Exynos version. I may return the phone though. I am not sure yet.
It's not just the battery that sucks, it's also the camera. I got hyped. The screen has a mediocre quality. I am not sure if I got a defect.
It won't let me watch 1440p content in youtube. The option is not there. No matter what it gives me 1080 all the time. even at 60fps QHD+
The video of youtube never fills the screen unless you zoom it.

The camera on this phone is driving my crazy. It tends to over-focus the center of the photo and leaves everything else blurry and not sharp.
It just sharpens the center of the photo very well and the rest of the photo is for the garbage, ON EVERY SINGLE PHOTO.
Even if you shoot a mountain, the mountain will be sharp and next to it a blurry mess even if you are not tap-focus on it. By deafult it sharpens the center of ANY PHOTO !
getting paranoid.

AnonD-908380, 14 Mar 2020How is the endurance rating this low?Crazy but i charge this phone 3 times a day. Of course I don't let it charge to 100% but to 80% so that it doesn't stress the battery.
Unfortunately the battery life sucks, big time. Be prepared to always carry a power bank.

S20 4G here and I noticed the same problem with the main camera.
Kind of blurry and not so sharp. After shooting a photo and zooming "just a tiny bit" with my fingers the photo starts to show unbelievable artifacts. The camera focuses too much on one thing and blurs everything else, especially at the corners. But the way it blurs seems like it comes from a mobile camera of the early 2000's. It doesn't look premium.
There was an update which I didn't notice any change.
I never use zoom because it makes photos look even uglier.
Funny how some guy at work compared it with his Huawei P20 pro and he got better results. I get paranoid now.

Don't liked the photos not focused and no more details and zoom on 10x and 30x is bad quality compared to my mate 20 pro.. So i ordered again samsung but note 10 plus snapdragon version 256 gigs this time instead of s10 plus exynos version 128 gigs

I am having issues with the camera.
Somehow blurry on the main camera at 3:4 (not 64mb).
Photos don't come like I see on the reviews on YouTube.
Blurry and noisy. My htc u11 shoots better photos from 2017.
What's going on. Anyone else here with the same problem ?

Exynos is not good. I had it and never again. Throttles all the time. On my travels, while using maps (here) it heats and shuts down. Never again.
And 900eur for a phone that doesn't have a 3.5mm jack? I mean wth.
My main problem is that there is no phone that is smaller with 3.5mm and has a good battery, but still has a flagship or snapdragon 700 series.

A very good phone in galaxy S series. I upgraded from S10. A good performance, battery backup good, high browsing speed and screen glass 6 fantastic. Also very much handy. Thanks Samsung.
