Still confused. So 14 days after it arrives or from ordered ?

Because you could just claim and return the phone and bag some free headphones if it's order date.

Yeah, common sense would suggest this is the case but the claim form says 14 days after you've 'ordered' not 14 days after delivered.

Didn't let me submit mine when I said I ordered on the 1st so will try again tomorrow

Reading through all this I'm mighty glad that Samsung shipped their 'gift' along with my S20 FE.

Don't know why people are over thinking this. Get your phone tomorrow, submit your claim and enjoy.

I am waiting on the Spigen Rugged Armour but there appears to be a bit of stock issue.

Thats the one I was waiting on. Ordered a cheapy from ebay for now as it wouldn't arrive before I go offshore.

I don't mind the specs and appreciate the lower price but I wish it came as an XL too. I can't really get on with 6" screen anymore. Any media consumption and it feels too small.

i have a feeling a lot of us who are coming from a 2xl are going to be disappointed in the small size of the phone, even if the screen space is overall bigger, the phone feeling smaller i imagine could be hard to get used to.

Despite my post above at how little the 5 might not be that much of a real world upgrade over the 2XL, for me, the compact dimensions are one of the most appealing things about it.

Reviews landing seem to be positive

I'm downgrading from a 6.4 and that video above it does look small in the hand but it's a sacrifice I'll have to make for a good camera

I thought there was supposed to be an embargo until tomorrow?

The 6.5 on the FE I just bought is as small as I would be willing to go. Part of the problem is the move towards a taller/narrower aspect ratio. When watching videos in traditional 16:9 format a 6 inch screen is basically a 5-5.5 inch display.

I believe so but plenty out there.

I can't believe the new Pro models don't have high refresh screens. Man do Apple know how to milk their buyers.

It has been for days!

I regret not pulling the trigger now and keep looking to see if they come back in stock.

£450 (after selling headphones) looks a steal next to the 12 mini at £600 (or is it £700?)
