New Phone ? S20 Plus Snapdragon version - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hello
First i wanted to get the One Plus 8 Pro, but i read numerous threads of people reporting heat, display, and a lot of other problems so i got that out of my list.
Hows the S20 plus the Snapdragon version ? Any know real issues ?

Have you checked on wondamobile? Its on promotion at the moment

If you need a phone asap the regular s20 Snapdragon can be found for a really good price come cyber monday.. I've had zero issues with it .
I personally prefer the smaller size and the price is great for a really snappy phone. I'm getting around 6.5hrs screen on time as well.
No Root but that hasn't bothered me one bit

Currently updated s20 with exynos is pretty much the same as snapdragon and on daily basis you wont notice any difference, in fact my s20+ exynos version never gave me any reason to complain and at least you have warranty which may not be as easy and straight forward with imported snapdragon

So there are no know problems with the S20/plus

I wouldn't necessarily label these problems but there are issues which you might consider before purchasing the S20 Plus.
The rear cameras aren't flush with the back panel, they protrude. It doesn't look like much in promotional photos but it clashes with the symmetry of the device and won't lay flat. Also at 6.37" x 2.90" it's not what most consider a "pocket phone"' it's a big device which is the trend these days.
There's no 3.5 mm jack, the wired earpiece connection is routed through the charging port which requires an adapter. If you're fine with Bluetooth for audio no big deal but as an audio buff a wired connection is superior.
Only Asian Snapdragon variants offer unlocked bootloaders, if you won't root the device that shouldn't matter. The UI is refined to the point you may not want to bother with root. Plus there are numerous models even within the S20 Plus. If full Call Feature functionality is a top priority then aquire your service provider's device, which in your case would mean a Exynos SoC.
It's an expensive smartphone, there are other options available for hundreds of dollars less that may be suitable for your needs. Overall it's a great device, maybe the best smartphone on the market but not necessarily the best value.
If I was considering a purchase at this time I'd hold off until the S21 is released in January or February. If you do and still prefer the, S20 Plus it will available at an even lower price than today.

Hello, who knows what this acronym means?

Before the official release, some netizens exposed some info about iFive Pro 2. In terms of the leaked photos, its design use liquid metal frame and fashion leather shell and there is fingerprint at the bottom of the front design with double speakers, USB Type C port, volume button on the top right.
As for configuration, it reveals that it is possibly powered by RK3288 processor Cortex A17 Quad core processor, considering iFive always uses Rockchip chipset. Besides, iFive Pro 2 will use 9.7inch 2K screen with RAM 4GB ROM 32GB, And we have no idea about its dual camera until now.
We also care about the price, some websites said the selling price of iFive Pro 2 will be a little higher. We can guess it will sell at 200usd to 300usd. After all iFive brand has been known for its excellent design and quality and it has good reputation among consumers. Under the condition of the fierce competition in electronics, tablet pc has become the one that many manufacturers attach importance to and compete, too. This time, Ifive has come back, we must be very looking forward to it. Let’s see on May 15. We will report more tomorrow.

Right now i don't know about battery, i guess tomorrow i will share with you about it.
RK3288 at this point? Wouldn't they use RK3368 or, possibly, 3399?
Looking forward to hearing from this tablet, I have an iFive X2 and I love it after all this time!

It's the RK3288 indeed.
Here's the product site: http://www.ifive.com.cn/product/pc/3-1-25.html
Not sure if the keyboard comes with the tab or it's a separate purchase. The battery is a respectable 7.800 mAh.
seems not cheap. I can buy other tablets with much more cheaper price and with same specifications. Such as 'dragon touch'.

I'm not sure you're getting fingerprint sensors or long battery backups with those. FNF tends to have very good designs with attention to detail unmatched by the rest of Chinese contenders (I've gone through many Teclasts, Cubes and Ondas and the one I keep is my iFive X2, close to three years old but rocking hard still). Their main issue is the crappy EMMC storage they are keen to use, which may not be a problem anymore.

Seems Honor smartphone has become the favorite Christmas & New Year’s gift choice in India.
Is Honor really taking a leap in the smartphone performance? What do you guys think?
Because I’m planning to get a new Honor phone myself.
Its already ahead as you can see, people are just skeptical since there is no development and everybody is waiting for oreo.
apart from that the phone has got good potential and the quality is impeccable for that price point.

Considering this phone IF it arrives on amazon US as i have a credit there. A big IF.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this device. I am not the kind who likes to spend a kidney on a new phone. $200 is right in the sweet spot for me. I have the Honor 7X (also in the US), you can ask me anything you wish about it. I bought straight from Honor because it was just a shy more than $200 with the Honor discount. Just wait though; I bet it will show up on Amazon.
hve tmobile, read my sim card will slide right in.

I agree that it's looking like Amazon will sell the 7x everywhere but the US. I'm wondering what promises Huawei made to AT&T to get it to carry the Mate 10 Pro. Unfortunately, I don't think carrier support will help Huawei enter the US market this late in the game. They lost their opportunity by dragging their feet; market penetration has slowed down sales. I'm not going to buy any brand of phone locked to a carrier. I'm a little leery of the battery life of the 7x as well as whether it really will get Oreo in the US; I will sit back and wait for some real life feedback from owners on performance and issues. I really think the Honor V10 looks better at half the price of the Huawei Mate 10, but I'm wondering if Huawei will only sell it in the US via AT&T.
Well, considering how well built this phone and its price, no wonder it's the best seller

Do you plan on getting the Mi Mix 4?

We don't know a lot about the Mi Mix 4 yet. We can assume it will have small bezels and some sort of pop-up/slider camera mechanism. The Mi Mix 3 had a slider, but it sounds like the Mi Mix 4 will have a pop-up camera. Assuming this is the case, do you plan on getting it?
There's really not a lot of information out there about the Mi Mix 4 yet. There have been some renders made based purely off speculation. It will most likely be a 5G device and feature the Snapdragon 855 or 855+. But the display size, cameras, RAM, battery, and more everything else is unknown. Are you thinking about getting it?

Do you think its going to be a total beast and will you use MIUI or flash a custom rom ?
I always use miui I actually like it. Makes xiaomi my fav manufacturer. Yea they are always beasts. It'll either have 2 cameras or three. Probably 3. The 855+ 12GB ram biggest unless they do something stupid and have a 16gb version lmao. Big screen. 90hz. That's all I need honestly is miui at 90hz.
Fun fact you can overclock the k20 pros screen to 85hz

So will it be Global Model upon release ?
The Price is totally out of reach and not really liking how it turned out to be honest, far too futuristic with that surround screen.
Possibly may wait for Xiaomi Mi 10 next March (if I can).
Well after months of being teased, I'm pretty disappointed. I was hoping Xiaomi would stay true to form and produce a flagship phone at a budget price but at ¥19,999 or £2257.00 or USD 2807.00 it's worth more than my car.
I don't really care about the display, although it is impressive, nor about the latest snapdragon processor or 5G.
I can't really see any devs buying it to develop custom roms or gcam.
Hopefully Xiaomi or Redmi will produce a budget phone with a 108mp camera I can afford.
I have to go now, so I can sulk.

S20 plus Exynos version - how's the performance after latest updates?

Hi. If you have this phone (Exynos version) please share your experience after the latest updates..do you have any overheating and throttling problems? I'm thinking of getting an S20 but only Exynos version is available in my country, and I'm worried because there were so many reports of Exynos S20 series phones overheating, throttling and lagging.
S20+ exynos is bit warm during mobile gaming, but havent faced any issues
with throtting and lagging.
phone works very well the only issue i have with this phone is battery life
this phone has probably one of the worst batteries i had on phone in a very long time.
and from what i red on local forums s20 has even worse battery 4h of SoT even bellow.
to be honest now im sorry i didnt get p40 pro or op8.
if you dont mind bad battery then go for it. i came to s20+ from phones that had 6-7+ SoT so this was a shock for me.
I'm very happy with Android 11 with my S20+ (Exyn), really superior performance compared to Android 10
The battery still sucks btw
The phone still get hot, but it's 35c here so hard to tell if it's the phone prob or not.
Hi the notification bar on landscape has big gaps on left and right side after update. Is it normal?

How did u get 7h SoT facebook disabled ?
I would hold off on an S20 device. The Galaxy S21 is set to release next month with an improved Exynos SoC.
Will Samsung put an end to all its Exynos woes with Exynos 2100?
Samsung's Exynos chipsets have been criticized a lot this year, especially the Exynos 990 that was used in the Galaxy ...

Question Is the S21 Fe worth to buy?

I'm planning to buy this S21 Fe which looks cool but are the phone specs worth it!!!
Well it depends. If you are interested in photography and video quality and you live in a region where it comes with the Snapdragon, then yes it may be a good deal. I'm in Europe and we finally have the Snapdragon on it. Plus, the preorder comes with a free set of Buds2 and a Youtube 4 month subscription. If however, you can get the S21 with the Snapdragon and you don't care about having a Hybrid 3x zoom instead of a proper optical zoom then that may be a better deal for you. It's clearly not a bad phone but you need to see if it's a good deal according to your particular interests. I've seen reviewers already bashing it, but again, for Europe it makes sense because we always had Exynos on the S21's, till now.

Damn! I love photography and videography so this could be a good phone for me. They give free buds 2 and a Youtube subscription in Europe if you pre-order this phone, that's why the price is high on the website. Yeah, I have the S20 Fe snapdragon edition so I will be getting the same snapdragon when I buy the S21 Fe but I saw on the Samsung website the rate is so high for me. Also, when I click the buy now option to check the version the page is not loaded as an error, I think the page is not ready yet.
I found that both the S20 FE and S21 FE have the same camera sensors for all cameras, so I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading in your particular case.

The only difference is S21 Fe has Gorilla glass Victus and Snapdragon 888 processor so I think I'll get this phone for the processor!
S21 FE is smaller and more compact than it's predecessor, thinner and packing almost everything. Big plus for me but will wait a bit for price to settle since I will go for 256GB version.
Remember, no SD card support.

I don't need an sd card slot because I backup only particular photos and videos always so the 128GB is enough for me!
I had a hard time chosing between the S22 and S22+, but then I found the S21FE. Which is just in between. Perfect size!

I switched from exynos Note20 Ultra 5G to S21 FE and will never look back . Battery lasts longer despite identic capacity due to SG, performance is better, 4k was useless without 120hz. Love the dimensions, size, cameras.
Buy it. It's a great phone. I moved from a pixel 6. The pixel cannot keep sustained performance. Using it for Uber and lyft and the phone was super hot and the camera and fingerprint stops working. Do not get the Pixel which is what people tend to consider when they want the s21 FE. Buy the S21 FE and be happy bro.
