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

Great move, I'm sure you will love it.

Had mine now for a week are really happy with the purchase, battery life has been brilliant for me. Currentlly have 63% battery left with 3.35 of SOT. This really is a big improvement on my S20+ with Exynos which would also have awful standby time.

I loved the Note 10+ but the camera was a real let down, form factor and size is great and went to play with my iPhone Pro Max earlier and it felt dated and old in comparison due to lack of 120 hz, lack of customisation etc. Don't get me wrong the 11 Pro max is a very very good phone but it's to locked down for me.


Camera wise happy with the Note 20+, it's great for general scenary etc but the Iphone trumps it on taking photos of people but this is still good, I do however feel the S20+ with the Sony sensor is better then this 108mp sensor Samsung use.

Overall, this is as close to perfect as it gets for me with a Mobile with the SD version, highly recommend using Smart Launcher for customisation.

Did you flash another stock ROM on yours, like BTU or DBT? Or have you left the ROM on that it came with?
 
Left the default HK Rom, cannot be bothered to change it personally, having done this previously on Note 10+ I cannot be bothered with the hassle
 
Anyone got the November or October patch update yet?

On my S20+ UK version it was rapid at receiving patches, often before of on the same day the Pixel would.

On this SD Note 20 ultra I'm still on Sep patch

Exynos Note 20 Ultra - November Patch

Snapdragon - September

It's understandable Samsung are going look after their chipset first

Still it shouldn't work like that, irrespective it's their phone so they should support accordingly, we wouldn't have to look for different versions if they had parity between processors .

Cyber Security is my line of work and I'm very conscious about keeping things patched.

Still, let's see how long it takes to update.

Hope you're getting on well with your HK note

First difference I've come across Exynos v SD - There are less built in fonts on the SD version.

I used the Gothic Bold font & that isn't installed on the SD device.
 
I have tried my SD phone where I used my Exynos phone -

SD with 3 Sim = No 5g but 4g+

SD with Vodafone Sim = No 4g now only gets 3g.

I am wondering if all this SD V Exynos is really worth it. Just for a bit more battery we get inconsistent data connections.

I have both variants & have to sell one. Not sure which now.
