As most of you might know the Galaxy S20 Ultra Will cost $1300 USD and I'm not too sure what to think. On one end it offers the best of the best in terms of specs but on the other hand $1300 is a lot of money.
That's about $1750 CAD in my province that comes out to $2008 with taxes. That price is too GATDAMN high!
I already know that I want it but I won't be pre ordering this time around. The prices usually go down a couple of weeks after release anyway.
What's your take on it? Is it a GO a hard PASS or does it fall somewhere in between?

I would wait a bit, last year in late april samsung had that blue ribbon event. The 512gb s10 was the same price as the regular s10, plus there was a 10% coupon and a $200 trade in bonus, that 512gb s10 ended up costing me $903 cdn after taxes
It will most likely be a 450-550 trade in for s10 series trades

My Wife thinnks I am crazy - but I will be getting the S20 Ultra - I will either trade my Note 10 Plus or sell it on Swappa after I get the new S20 Ultra. I don't like the fact that it is so expensive, but the only way it would be cheaper is if it didn't have the same amount of enhancements and quality hard ware. Its understandable that it is going to cost more based on everything it has....and honestly, it sounds like it will be worth every penny.
Im surprised they dont have trade in deals like they always had before!!! all they are offering is $35!!! really??

Canadian prices...
s20 128gb - $1320
s20+ 128gb - $1580
s20+ 512gb - $1780
s20u 128gb - $1850
s20u 512gb - $2110 + 13% tax = $2384 lolololol
I think i'll skip this generation, the s20 doesn't even have a 256 or 512gb version and the s20u is too rich for my blood. No blue ribbon even will discount it to my liking, and that space zoom is only 4x optical, the rest is sensor crop+digital zoom.
Aside from a few upgrades etc theirs going to be minimal performance increases from my Note 10+ and the S20 Ultra. I'll wait until later on this year and grab the N20* (if that's what they call it)

I don't see any 'non 5G' versions though.
It would be nice to see that. Because for the vast majority of us, 5G is as practical as tits on a bull and I'd gladly choose a non 5G variant in order to save money on something I'd never use.
Of course, with the S10, if you wanted the best device you didn't have a choice. The S10 5G was the best. Until the Note 10 came out. But with (the Note 10) you did NOT have to get a 5G version to have the best.
Looks like it doesn't exist in the US but in other countries lte costs 100 euros less
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
No I wish it would cost more because people who really need to buy the absolute gold standard phone no matter what price are stupid enough to pay any price.
Like getting only 95% of the features in a S20 for almost half the price isn't an option.
I like seeing what a phone can possibly do but some people should think twice about wasting their money so thoughtless
Is it too expensive? Well yes if you can't afford it just buy a S20. Like you couldn't live without a 108MP or 100X zoom
It's like complaining about a ferrari being to expensive. Just get a toyota or whatever and stop complaining
If the s10 camera and radio performance was not so bad I'd never even consider the s20.
Honestly though there are equally good options out there now for less money. I'm using the OP7 pro right now and only the camera falls short but the pixel and last gen Huawei's still have epic cameras as does (whisper it) the sub £1000 iPhone 11

In my opinion if you take good care of phones the price is just right. Its 1.3k but you get good trade in value for galxy series/Note am currently getting 700$ for my Note10+ that about half the price of the phone. And in my opinion this phone is totally worth the 600$ after trade in.

thx for your input but oh please, I don't know if you're samsung fan or not but I really need your humble and honest opinion about samsung product and the hardware itself, nowadays samsung has been chosen by people and lot's of people using samsung product, and do you think samsung with touchwiz itself and also from the hardware point of view will last longer and my friend they're not samsung hater but they used to repair samsung product and they told me samsung after a year usually will show any problem or issue for the hardware itself ?
but this is not my statement ok ? I'm just sharing my thought with you guys, for those who are expert in this point of view please I will be very welcome to correct my thought. Cause I'm thinking about getting nexus 7 2013 edition or note 10.1 2014 edition, but honestly the 10.1 is too big but the 3gb ram, OMG, that's so tempting hard to resist , I rather choose 10.1 with that price than the same price or the note 3 which is more expensive than note 10.1
I have a crazy idea!
If we wait until they actually tell us, instead of speculating and asking the public what they think, we'll be able to make better decisions and have less anxiety while waiting.

IMHO Samsung's hardware is not worse than the one from any other brand, and regarding software they usually give reasonable support over time, not always fast enough though, especially for older devices, but better than any other phone maker anyway.
I personally dislike touchwiz, but no other tablet or phone offers to me such a powerful environment for working with a digital pen
So say we all!! from my GT-I9500
I'm hoping for the 32GB version to be no more than $549
If you wait 6 months maybe. The first prices are 599€ for wifi and 699€ for LTE. All versions are 16GB. But not official yet. But i think they are realistic. If you look at the Galaxy Note 8.0. It was/is extensive too.

You have to balance currency values, exchange rates, import taxes, etc. What it sells for in India even with exchange rates is now a reflection of what its going to cost in the US. I mean what did Verizon do they bumped the price of the GN3 up $50 over the GN2, why double the internal storage which is in line with normal pricing. The newer model has other spec bumps on the GN2 vs GN3 so again it falls in line.
I expect it to be $549-599 for the 32GB WiFi version anything above that and its simply not worth it no matter how nice it is.

Hey folks.
Looking at picking up the Note 10+ 5G and while looking online I noticed that in the US Samsung is giving credit towards other purchases. In some parts of the world samsung is throwing in other goodies with the Note series.
Wondering if there is anything like that for the UK or does Samsung even do this for the UK market.
For me this will be a 2-3 yer phone so ticks a lot of
Boxes.
Anyone ordered theirs from the Samsung website?
Thanks.
Sadly Samsung isn't offering any goodies other than the trade in your old phone offer for UK customers. US buyers seem to be getting a great deal as always.
I am buying the 5G version from Samsung.com - the 512GB model isn't available for pre-order yet so will to go with 256GB.

Thanks. Yep I’m feeling the same. Was hoping to pick up the 512gb but that’s been out of stock since launch. But seeing that I’m going to use a sd card either way I may just pull the plug on the 256 and use the £100 saved towards some cases...
Nothing for us UK buyers as usual, but if you have the Samsung members app on your phone there is currently a 50% off accessories code
What frustrates me is that the trade for a note 9 512gb version is the same as the note 9 128gb!!
Purchase price is £200 more, so why can't resale price be a little higher? No benefit in buying bigger with regards to resale it seems.

Feel exactly the same. I also have the Note9 512GB, it's unfair that they're offering the same for 128 & 512gb versions.
Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a Samsung S8 on a sim only contract for 10 pounds a month and my contract is nearly up, and I was debating whether to get an A70 on contract for only 26 pounds a month. Would it be worth it, I've heard mixed reviews and I can't make my mind up. Thanks.
The only real issue for me is still the fingerprint reader. It has been improved but still frustrates at times. Otherwise it is a good enough phone for the vast majority of people.
Whether it is worth it depends on the length of the contract really. It is £330 on the Samsung site. Not a bad price for the performance of the hardware. If the fingerprint is likely to frustrate then you might be better off with a oneplus but they are a lot more these days.
Samsung UK are doing a £100 trade in for any android phone plus £60 cash back and quidco another £11 brings it down to £160 i think thats a cracking deal
But be qick the offer ends 25/12
Wait for the A71
Anyone planning to upgrade?
I have the S20 and happy with it. Had no intentions of upgrading....
Until Samsung rolled out their trade in program.
I can get the S21 for $99 if I trade in the S20.
I'm going to do it because they are giving me $700 for the S20, which is more than I paid for it.
Figured that $99 is the cheapest I could get a 2021 flagship for.
The tradein is a great deal.
I am going to skip this year's model and get next year's, hopefully with the UDC.
thats nice but in europe those trade ins are not avialable
so, and since i got s20+ like a month ago i dont plan to upgrade to s21
not much has changed and only complain i have about s20+ is poor battery
everything else is more then good.

Yeah,
I wasn't until I saw the upgrade deals. I have a S20 Plus, so I got $700 off plus $200 in store credit.
So bottom line the S21 Ultra I ordered only cost me $399.

I'm trading in a S10+ for the black S21 Ultra. I got the $200 credit also.

HOw did you get it for $99? nevermind I see hoow you got it.
Agree, the $700 Trade in is a killer deal. If you have a base model or ultra, you still get $700 trade-in credit. Definitely worth it for lower models, for upgraded you can make a little more by selling it on your own but of course then you have the headache of dealing with that.

Samsung website.
Considering most models can't be rooted I'm not a 100% sold on another fold BUT there might not be any good alternatives though.
I might go back to OnePlus if I can get it unlocked at the beginning for custom roms, but I'd rather enjoy a device more than work on it. I have some hopes for the nothing brand but I'm not sure they're ever coming to North America.
I'd appreciate some good discussion about it and others thoughts.
Yes, I'll be looking closely at the Fold4 and if there's a reasonable tradein I'll very likely go for it.
The only alternative is the Vivo that has a great spec but not yet available outside China and will it have good support?
No. There isn't enough of an upgrade for me to bite the bullet. I'll wait to see what the Fold 5 has to offer or if there are other mfg. that come up with something better.
nahh im happy with my fold 3, does what I need and more. Fold 4 has little upgrades to make it worth it
Sammy is just not being competative. If I were to upgrade, I would be more likely to spend the $ on the Vivo X Fold. Unless Sammy has some huge surprises in 10 days - which I doubt.
Going to wait until the 5 cones out.
It would be a help if we knew when the Vivo Fold was going to be available.
If the trade in is good
Just ordered the X Fold, through Giztop.
.......so the device works in the U.S.A.?
I'm in the UK. Taking a risk but I know of another one that is working.
yeah, upgrading from Fold3 to the Fold4 1TB version
I'll be ordering the Fold4 the minute orders are open. Jury is out on Watch 5 classic 44mm though.
Just got my fold 3 on a RIDICULOUS sale, doesn't appear the generational gap between 3 and 4 is all that large. I'll be rocking the three until they announce/release the 5

How good of a sale was it if you don't mind me asking?
I got mine for what I feel like was a great price early this year. Mint condition on Swappa (and the phone really was in mint condition) for 800+plus taxes and fees

That was a steal! I'm happy for you!
Ill upgrade if the cameras are vastly improved and include periscope zoom of some sort, that's my biggest gripe with my fold 3, sub par cameras. 1tb would be a nice since im running out of storage on my 512gb fold 3 so if they offer that i may do the upgrade for that even if the cameras arent what im looking for.
Yes, I had the first 3 and haven't had any issues. Hoping for a surprise pre-order only color, but the beige looks kind of cool.
Does anyone else think it is uneconomical to upgrade after a year, without fully paying off the Fold3?
