**** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note 20/Ultra Thread ****

[evohicks]

I've only just realised the phone has super fast charging, on my note 10 plus and my note 20 ultra I didn't bother using the proper charger untill last week.

To be honest I hardly ever use the fast charge unless it's a top up if I'm going out, it is handy every now and then.

I absolutely love the super fast charger, makes up for the battery life not being great

Any of you guys received another update recently?
Seems like other regions have got camera performance and stability updates, nothing here on unlocked version.

Doesn't the camera update through the galaxy store now?

Yesh there was one last week in the Galaxy store but the one I mentioned was through the software update.

 

[xb8browney]

I've only had the one update this month.

Well, i have just updated my s20 ultra 512 it was the September security patch (358.24mb)but within that, it also said about improved camera performance.

 

[evohicks]

Just had the camera performance and stability update, 301.10 mb, still on September 1st security patch.

 

[xb8browney]

Since today's update my default browser choice isn't working.

Apparently there is an October update coming soon with the security patch and other improvements including battery optimisation.

 

[xb8browney]

151mb October update out for my ultra

Do we know what the battery optimisations are?

 

[evohicks]

Do we know what the battery optimisations are?

As far as I know it's been released in Germany. The update that we had today on the unlocked Note 20 ultra was just an october security update but here's some info on the optimisation update to come...

So 2 updates so far with an extra to come?

Yeah so we get the usual monthly security update which is usually around 150 - 200mb give or take and we should get this new update soon which has optimisations. When you get the update it usually mentions the key features of that update.

I've had the screen protector on my phone since the day it arrived. It's now really quite scratched so I'm looking to replace it. What I like about this one is that I can barely feel it, can anyone recommend one that is similar?

 

[Tephnos]

I think the Note 10 uses one of those UV cured protectors, so it's gonna be difficult to find anything as good without that hassle.

Yeah I remember when I got the Note 8 and used a Spigen screen protector, always used Spigen but this time the curved screen had me ripping it off after about an hour, went without after that and on the Note 9.
I manged about 11 months with the Note 10+ with the factory protector but I don't see any alternative out there to be honest, unless you want tempered glass, then Whitestone Dome comes into play, but not cheap!

If you look on the bay you can get equivalents of the whitestone dome for a few quid. I have used them on previous phones without issue.
