The problem with that is people looked more at apple as being an over priced brand more then a premium brand
People have always looked at Samsung mobile phones as being a premium brand..

People have always looked at Samsung mobile phones as being a premium brand..
Apple shifts vast numbers of high priced products and I agree with you that they're overpriced. They've pushed the prices too far and too fast, bringing other manufacturers like Samsung with them.
However I have heard reports that in the US at least, many people who would never buy anything other than an Apple believe that the only reason other people buy different brands is because they cant afford an Apple.
Apple are unfortunately in the position to set trends and they pursue revenue aggressively and greedily in a way that Samsung simply doesn't have the clout to match.
I agree, Samsung stuff will never give you that premium feel you get when you walk in and look around at an apple store
I'm typing this on a Note 10+ which is imo the most premium feeling phone currently on the market. Like you say, it all falls apart when you walk into a Samsung store and get jumped by fifteen wild-eyed unshaven salesmen who probably hadn't heard of Samsung before they got hired.
Apple stores are a consumer's dream to visit and I cant understand how samsung get theirs so wrong.

Does anyone know when the review embargo will be lifted for this lineup? Will it be straight after the unveiling or will we have wait a day or so?
It may be difficult to make a weighed decision on whether to buy the 20 or 20 Plus as I'd wager 90% of the reviews will be for the 20 Ultra only, as per.

Screen, less curve, smaller front camera. So preorder starts today and release on 13th march
Free buds+ on 20+ and ultra

I was more saying it's about the 120hz as much as the camera for me
Good cameras are a positive, but every top manufacturer strives for a top camera. High refresh screens are ready for the big time.
I don't think I'm tempted by the S20s and will probably wait to see what OP comes up with.

I've had a OnePlus 7 pro and I returned it, not a spec I'm bothered about. Camera and battery is what I'm interested in.

free buds+ on the higher end models? Wow thats amazing, good on samsung for not doing an apple
They would charge if they could, but they don't carry that Apple swag.

tbf the prices of their phones seem to be higher than usual, but throwing in the buds seems to make it more worthwhile. I heard the ultra was £1200-1400

The s20 ultra is too big for me, can't reach the top where as I can with my note 10+ 5g

Is it a 6.8"?
Not sure why they would even need a note series if they have a S series phone thats bigger
Not too worried about the price, end of the day Samsung are always doing offers etc, When I bought my Note 10+ 5G you got something like 200quid back for any old android phone (moto G I had in a drawer 
) and £250 for some sale thing making it about £600 which is cheaper than you could get it in a contract, so I was happy enough. The even sent me a 15% code off afterwords that got me a nice fridge freezer upgrade.
I probably should have waited for S20 but my S8+ had one too many drops.
I'm not so interested in this, though the camera does interest me, a good 10x zoom would be nice, I am hoping whatever is in here ends up in a nice thin 2nd gen fold, but as a nice touch Samsung also sent me another 15% off for my birthday that doesn't expire until after the s20 launch so who knows

I wonder how they work out who to send these offers to.

Nice colour
That camera bump man... Just wish the background of it wasn't blacked out and they kind of did what apple did in this regard. Not a fan of the big black blotch like how the pixel one looks.
Aside from that though, it looks very sleek
Note 9 had the camera section same colour as phone and looked nice , just too much black on s20
