I need to buy some USB-A to USB-C cables for charging this thing with. Can anyone recommend a decent brand or set? Fast charge cables are preferable, I'm dubious of some of the cheap ones available on Amazon - do they have the potential to damage the battery?

Anker or UGreen make good cables.

Thanks for the suggestion although I would have no idea how to do that on Android currently ha. Got it working in the end by uninstalling and reinstalling. Turns out the auto-downloaded version when you setup the phone is an old non-working version now.

In Recent years I've been using Anker Braided cables , reliable and not had any issues with them.

Just a heads up, 50% off accessories that specifically says isn't working on AKG headphones, works on AKG headphones.

Nabbed a pair of AKG Y500 for £64.50 and they are doing further £20 cashback so fingers crossed they ship them and I'll get a bargain.

Are those AKG's actually any good? I saw that on hotukdeals too

Buy two pairs and get an additional bulk discount.

WhatHiFi given them 5 out of 5 so can't be terrible even if you take the review with a pinch of salt

Still not a peep from EE about my pre-order. Loads of folk on the EE forums in the same boat, and EE don't appear to want to confirm or deny if shipments have been delayed because of everything going on, or if its for other reasons.

A few other sites are now giving out dates of end of the March for Ultras, so I'm guessing there is some sort of delay or stock issue even with the pre-order/first batch of phones.

The rainy place has taken my payment for the case now. A fiver less than when I first ordered it but still £45 quid. I could not wait for samsung to get stock and order from them.

JDMaverick · 12 Mar 2020 at 13:20

Can you pre-order the out of stock cases with that discount code?

Don't mind waiting, as it doesn't look like EE will be sending my ultra out anytime soon.

Be damned if I'm paying £50 for one

Got my s20 Ultra today and am absolutely loving it! One thing is crazy though, after using it for an hour or so I picked up my s8 and it feels so tiny and lightweight!

I could not find a way but I had already ordered from the rainy place. It came down to 45.

Loving the phone it's definitely an upgrade over my HTC U12+
I must say though I think the camera in doors isn't has good I was expecting.
Is it just me that images show quite abit of noise?

I thought so too. Might have been poorish light but I think they need to do more work on the camera software.

I just took one in good light.

Doesn't look that great.

Do Samsung cases eat battery life? They display LEDs etc

No

I had the LED case on my S9 plus. The amount of power they use is so low it barely registers. It's just a simple dot matrix.

I had the LED view case for 2 years, it was a great case. I loved it. This time I am getting the one with the clear edge for a change. I'd go for the LED if I hadn't already had for for two years and fancy a change.

I may yet get the LED view case as well lol.

That's a great price tbh. I paid 45 for my case. I could not wait for Samsung to come back into stock. I got a free clear silicon case from Three but I don't like the look. It's like a something you would give to a special person.

My S20 Ultra arrived yesterday from MPD.

I've put it in a Spigen Tough Armour but it's just too big with a case on. I may have to go case-less I think.

I'm using the Spigen ultra hybrid and it hasn't added too much bulk at all. Also my girlfriend has the rugged armour case which is also not too bulky
