After reading a ton of reviews I really think that the S20 is worth skipping IF you already own an S10. Not only is the price astronomical even for the "basic" S20, but the fact that 5G is still offered as an additional extra model to milk even more money out of consumers really irks me.
Agreed. Although I'm coming from former Windows Phone Flagship Lumia 920 from 2012, so... Yeah. It's quite an upgrade.
I will buy an S30 when 5G is standard in all models and even then a few months after release when the prices reduce, like always, by 20-30%.
Do flagship phones even come down in price? Because everywhere I look it's always largely the same price even months afterwards. It's only when they're closing in on their EOL when prices start coming down I've noticed.
Buying a new phone on release really is a mugs game nowadays.
Well, I guess it depends on your needs then.
I need a phone, I need access to Whatsapp again (means Android or iOS, but I'm not going for Apple because its camera is not what I'm after), I need a camera (decent one at least, and the S20 Ultra takes my fancy
), I need a device that can actually last for more than a few hours (the Lumia 920 can hold a charge for a whole day nearly; 12 hours worth, but if calls and internet is used, wifi or mobile, it goes down quick these days, and the Apple alternative isn't what I'm after), and I need it effectively "now" (could have gone for pre and current gen stuff, but compared to the S20 Ultra, they fall behind, so why put in £650 for a new S10 when I can put in a bit more for the upgraded camera and slightly longer support? (compared to the S10 that is), and if dragged out like the Lumia 920 expect it to still be functional and viable in 6-8 years down the line?).
