Had the S20+ 5G for over a week now (imported from HK so Snapdragon model) and it's been such an amazing experience so far.

Getting 7-8 hours SoT comfortably on average and more importantly to me there is no battery life issues that I faced in the past with Exynos models.

Losing 3-4% overnight over a course of 7-8 hours is/was simply unheard of on the Exynos variants.

So far a great experience and lining up to be the best Samsung phone I've ever owned.

Where did you get it from? I'm looking to get a Snapdragon version too but eBay is flaky to say the least with mixed spec everywhere.
 
Same reason I've still not used my S20 yet and don't really wanna fork out £50 for Whitestone. If you find a good alternative, please let me know.

You wouldn't believe this but I thought the only thing that might work is a good old fashioned TPU screen protector, I ordered this one,

Followed the video instruction to the letter and it went on like a dream, not even a single bubble, I enabled the old navi-bar because I felt swiping the side of the screen all the time might eventually peel the protector off as you can feel it slightly as you swipe.

Fingers crossed it stays on!
 
Isn't that a film protector? I don't see how that is different to the pre-applied protector?

It's different for me because I didn't have a pre-applied one! I got the phone secondhand so I was happy for even a TPU one, I gave up on finding a glass one, went through about 5 of them, all rubbish.

If you have the factory one on then I wouldn't worry too much, or grab yourself a flip case, that will protect it from most drops.

Yeah it kinda does. Snapdragon is far superior for battery. I think it's something like 20% on the newer chips? Might be thinking of speed though. I would get the 5G version simply because you can get SD without having to import.
On the 5g version now.. already can tell difference after a couple of days use
 
Can anyone recommend a third party wireless charger that actually charges the S20 series phones at 15 watts? There are loads on the rainforest however I have only found one that claims to charge Samsung phones at 15W - they seem to be all LG/Sony. The one that I've found is a stand and I'd ideally prefer a pad for where it's going.
FYI I don't want the feature badly enough to buy a genuine Samsung one for close to £40
 
In large part it's also driven by the mains plug so if that's not included you need to make sure you have a compatible one. That's partly the reason the samsung one is £40 because its the mains too.

Wouldn't the mains charger that comes with the phone do the job?
