I'm getting one, just not sure if I am going with Sprint or TMobile. Thoughts?
I am, getting the gold 64gb since 128gb is no where in sight
I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint.
I'm thinking about picking one up, haven't completely made my mind up yet.
I ordered mine from Amazon. I have no upgrade eligibility so I figured use the Amazon credit card lol. I got the 32 gig. That has always been enough space for me.
Getting a 32 gb for my girlfriend on Sprint, but waiting for the availability of the Edge in the the green color.
64 black edge preordered at best buy
price is going to turn away a lot of people.. i think samsung is demanding too much money for the Edge compared to the S6 ($100 or more in some cases)
there is no way to justify the increase in price just for a slightly different curve phone..
also, S6 has close to 20 million orders from Samsung, only 5 million or so for Edge version so that gives you an idea that while the Edge won't be a total failure, the S6 will have bigger support just because price is more realistic.
I am going to wait until price drops in a few months. because of samsung Greed (and forcing me to spend more money on a 64GB version) when i would have bought a 32Gb on release day if it had SD card) now i wait for them to be cheaper..

if anything find some friends with tmo and sprint in your area and ask them to do a speed test
in my area i get amazing results occasionally going over 50mbps. i also like contracts lol. i dont want to spend full price for the phone like tmo makes you.

it was really hard to justify the edge but i remembered how i felt back when i had the s1 and s2. it felt good not having the same phone as everyone else. no a days everyone has an s3, 4 or 5 and i can see the s6 being way too popular and common for me

yeah they shouldnt have set the jumps to $100
had they set it to $50 they would have been praised so much
i know i would have had no doubt about getting the 128gb edge if they did and i bet so many more people would have felt the same way
but im going to settle with the 64gb edge
I preordered a Gold 64GB Edge. Hoping to receive it at least a couple days early.

I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint, moving over from T-Mobile
64 gb for Sprint. Pre ordered from best buy.
Please post any Edge deals or availability of gold variant.
Best Buy has no word on gold
Sprint's website only show black and white
Amazon has the 64gb gold for pre-order for $399.99 with $30 worth of free apps. Warning, apps in Amazon store are waaaay outdated.
I pre-ordere black form BB to swap to gold later in order to get the free wireless charger, $59 retail.
I wouldn't mind having one.
Went to Best Buy for a "hands on" experience, and I have to say, this blew my M8 out of the water for screen quality.
A very good looking phone. I didn't realize however, that there wasn't a micro SD slot. That's a no go for me in the end, but it is truly a beautiful phone.

I ordered my z5 from a seller at Hong Kong, but end up getting a z5 dual e6683.
I don't really mind getting dual version. However, I really want to know if it supports LTE cat6.
According to the white paper, it only supports cat4.
However, according to the spec page it seems to support cat6.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
I think going with the whitepaper is more accurate.
I'm thinking of picking up a dual as well... Which reseller from hk did you pick it up from?

I get it from NGP STORE USA on Amazon, but be aware they actually send from Hk instead of US as they quote.
hey all,
Headsup, I would not trust that retailer (ngp) again!
I EXPLICITLY ordered the z5 6653, it should have been mailed from the USA to arrive in 48hrs...
I got the z5 6683 (serious) with no USA USB adapter (minor) & came from Hong Kong with crazy extra fees,
Then they ripped me off on shipping fees (return & resending), took forever to get (+6 weeks) & sent me a device that superficially appears to be the z5 but there's lots of red flags...
The USA adapter is damaged, setup in Spanish with weird pre-installed apps, the clear plastic new device screen protector is blank instead of an image of the home screen & most important, I can find zero way to confirm that the device has cat 6 lte.
If anyone has ideas how to confirm that this device I was sent actually has cat 6 lte &/or counterfeit status, I would really appreciate it...
Even if this thing is the real deal & has cat 6, I would strongly, very strongly recommend that absolutely no one trust this company or purchase anything from them!

Not much hype around here yet but I'm getting excited. I've been strictly OnePlus 8 pro for the last 2 months or so and am ready to move on. I hope this is a worthwhile upgrade fror my Note 10 Plus or I'll hold out for the fold 2 this year. The next pixel is a no go with the slower processor and I'm sure they haven't improved storage capacity either. Such a shame.
As long as they offer solid trade in value for my Note 10+ I'm getting it.
I am expecting (hoping) for at least $600 in trade for my S20 Ultra. Assuming that happens, I will be buying a new Note 20 Ultra - Pre-Order and can't wait.
In all honesty, the bugs that the S20 Ultra Camera had (focus) are pretty much behind me now and the the S20 Ultra has been an awesome phone - but based on what I hear and have read, the new Note 20 Ultra will be a decent upgrade. Looking forward to seeing the Roll Out -
Nah, I'm getting Pixel 4a this time around to be my daily runner and I'll keep my N10+ for heavier tasks until the Note gets integrated 5G system so, probably 'til 2021/22.
Right now 5G is still not much relevant in my area, why pay more for unneeded hardware? I'm very happy now with Note 10+, after that annoying hit-or-miss fp sensor problem got resolved. Ironically, that problem wasn't fixed by Samsung but rather by inquisitive user – kudos to him/her.
Actually am getting very excited about that Pixel 4a, it has all the goodies I need and for only $350, like NFC, headphones jack and also Titan M Security Module, good camera/processing etc. A good pocket phone, something I really miss since I've had S10e before N10+. Similar overall size to 10e, plastic is fine with me for a pocket phone.
As long as I keep it in front, not the back pocket)

I was given $700 off for my Note 10+ when it was traded for the S20 Ultra so it seems a fair value again given the cost of the device.

I've heard about the Duo getting the 855 too (MAYBE the "+"?) either way, IMO MOST people would be really hard pressed to be able to tell a difference between the 2, if they aren't sitting in a side by side comparison. I think the biggest difference that will absolutely be noticeable, is the 120hz display on the N20U. I'm really looking forward to seeing that.
I think the Duo is an amazing concept that gets away from the form factor that is not really changing too much any longer. It's a refreshing change in direction and isn't a Galaxy Fold
Edit - Some rumors are saying that the device may ship with the 865
I'm getting one. But what about all these half/value tradein offers? Are any of those worth it rather than buying up front? I got burned by diminishing value on Samsung products years ago but they seem to hold value pretty well now.
I was really hoping the Note Ultra would fix what the S20 Ultra couldn't, being able to use WQHD+ with 120hz. Thats really a let down and kinda makes me want to skip this year.
Just pre-ordered Unlocked White 128GB Ultra
I was on a Note 9 and am a Veteran. I just preordered the Copper rather than the glossy Black. Samsung offered a $550 trade in on the Note 9 plus $200 in freebie accessories . I'll get the new buds and a case. It was too good for me to pass up. I just hope it isn't a dud like the Note 7.

I signed up for the Pre-order but the guy said that we won't be able to actually buy the "pre-order" until tomorrow (and the Note 20 should arrive by 8-21)
Did you actually buy the pre-order? Can I ask where? Just curious.....
Thanks
Also reserved the white 128gb Note 20 Ultra and trade in my blue Note 10+. I wish Samsung has the 512 options in white color, oh well.

You arent actually buying anything, you dont enter any credit card info. This simply adds you to an email chain for tomorrows pre-order.
I put my preorder in for the White 128 but I may be hard pressed to make it my DD. I LOVE face unlock on my Pixel 4 XL and all the other Googly things that come with the Pixel phone. My Note 10+ got very little time with the SIM card in it after I bought the Pixel last fall. I do like the larger canvas of the Note, maybe the latest rumors are true and Google might release a large screen premium phone later in the year?
Hi All,
Sorry for not posting this earlier and i feel this deserves a thread of its own.
Recently after my buying experience on various different portals, Bestbuy, B&H, Samsung website and T-Mobile US, where most places were out of stock or taking too long to deliver ( I wanted an Ultra 512 GB version), I discovered that Microsoft offered the best buying experience. I am speaking only for Note 20 / Note 20 Ultra buying experince for other things BestBuy etc may be good.
Here is the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...cked/8x2r1c53kbms?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Or to configure directly go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sto...s&selectedColor=9A716E&preview=&previewModes=
I had ordered mine and and received it rather quickly (4 Days, due to labor day weekend) and when Samsung reduced the price they even refunded me.
Hope this helps anyone who is as impatient as me.
Enjoy.

I did find the trade in, but you have to already purchased and have your new Note 20 in your hands to even start a trade in, because it asks for the new IMEI# of your Note 20 ultra and u have to put that in to even start the trade in, to me is kind dumb lol

I agree. i guess there are plenty people who exploit loopholes like send in a device and then not by anything. Trade ins rely a lot on what device you are buying. Other way people can exploit is click trade in get discount and never send the old device. There is always a way around let them choose trade in during buying process and refund after they receive the trade in device but them being them what can i say.
FYI - for Note 8 they are giving $250 back, so Note 9 and 10 must be higher than that.

I was responding to the Canadian who suggested it was a good option for us - but the Microsoft Canada site has them at full price ($1819 CDN = $1381 US) for the 128 GB N20 Ultra - whereas we can get the HK SM-N9680 (dual-SIM, 256 GB) for $1350 CDN (= $1025 US). The Microsoft site seems like a good option for you if you want the North American single-SIM 128 GB model.
I just placed an order with amazon. They have them in stock and it'll be here in 2 days. Hopefully all goes well.

Congrats on deciding to take the leap. I am sending mine back. I was noticing yellow tints so i reduced the color temperature from the display settings but today i decided to compare my Note 8 and Note 20 Ultra boy o boy that 3 year old phone has a better display. On comparison i found green tint on my Note 20 Ultra. I suggest you do the same when you receive your phone to to compare it side by side with another display. i also noticed Note 20 Ultra to lack in Sharpness and Contrast (I am sure and its not a placebo). Both the phones were on WQHD resolution and i checked them on full, mid, lowest and auto brightness.
Check yours when you get it.

Hopefully that's not with all of them. I do remember back in the galaxy 8 days there was a pink tint issue that was addressed with an update. I gave my one plus 7 pro to a coworker who's phone broke and I miss it. It's been why I was holding out on the note 20 ultra. I wanted to see what the 8T Pro was going to be but it looks like there will be no 8T Pro. If this one doesn't pan out it will definitely be back to OnePlus for the 8 Pro or 8T.
EDIT: it arrived yesterday in new unopened condition from amazon. So far it works perfectly and I can't notice any off tones in the screen. The screen looks great. I installed an LK flexible film screen protector (same as I had on oneplus 7 pro) and you can even tell it's there. Now to wait for the correct case to come in as I accidentally ordered one for the note 20 and not the ultra after sifting through the possibilities.
Looks like India might be getting the Snapdragon this year. How many of you are going to upgrade? I've already sold my S21 Ultra in anticipation for the S22 Ultra.
For me, it's too early to decide based on rumours and conjecture alone. Will wait for a month after the device is out in people's hands before making the decision. I stayed back on A11 on my S21U so phone performance is still very good. Thankfully, i downgraded from A12 before the bootloader update so I was able to roll back. If A12 performance on S22U is similar to the S21U, I would stay clear of it.
As far as chipset is concerned, I don't really have an issue with the E2100. Unlike previous Exynos SoCs, I quite liked the E2100. It's very comparable to the SD888 performance, really closing the gap this year. In some aspects I actually prefer the E2100, especially is thermal performance and stand-by battery drain, when compared to the SD counterpart.
The S22U isn't offering anything more than an inbuilt stylus and a generational chipset upgrade. Not sure if the increase in performance will justify the extra cost of upgrading.
The phone has got to be something really special and miles ahead of the S21U for me to spend another 60-70k (assuming S21U exchange discount, bank offers etc). If I was upgrading from S20U to S22U, I could justify it, but from the S21U, only time will tell if it's worth the money.
Yes this is pain as no one yet know what version release in India
According to some reports southeast countries will get SD so according to this we may get Exynos
I am planning to buy but want to go with international version, as its useless if you develop and no audience there. Let's see.

IMO, i feel the S21U will get atleast 65 to 75K easily in exchange because,
1. S21 Ultra is out of stock at most places
2. S21 Ultra prices, new at places with stock may not go down
3. S22 Ultra won't be much of an upgrade so people may opt to buy S21 Ultra at a lower price
CONFIRMED!
Galaxy S21, S22 Galaxy S21 FE Galaxy Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Galaxy Tab S8 Will ALL get 4 major android updates AND 5 years of security updates!

I agree, I sold my S21 Ultra for 65k but it took sometime for me to find a buyer. The prices should be in the 55k range for S21 Ultra after the release of S22U. But regardless of that with all the goodies they will give (hopefully), the nett cost shouldn't be more than 30-35k. The nett cost for my Note 20U to S21U transfer was 10k.
Eagerly waiting for S22U/S22+. Will be looking to pre-order from corporate website with +ve news of SD version, 4 major android version is confirmed. Just waiting for prices & offers. Will be upgrading from OP7T, so it should be big upgrade. Looking at the specs s22+ can be dark horse this year.
With SD version being released in more areas, there's high probability of good custom ROM scene.
Has anyone tried Samsung exchange program ? Any experience to share ?

Eagerly waiting for S22U/S22+. Will be looking to pre-order from corporate website with +ve news of SD version, 4 major android version is confirmed. Just waiting for prices & offers. Will be upgrading from OP7T, so it should be big upgrade. Looking at the specs s22+ can be dark horse this year.
With SD version being released in more areas, there's high probability of good custom ROM scene.

From what i know, SD versions of Samsung devices have been locked down since the beginning with all the custom rom things happening for the Exynos.

That's only with US version, not CH & Hongkong so it will be interesting to know which version of SD will be launced in india.
Model number ending with '0' shoule be rootable but U won't. e.g. 'S9080' can be rooted "S908U" can't.
exynos model usually ended with "B" (in case 5G ) e.g "S908B"
"Note" worthy, with minimal improvements,
For S21U users,
This isn't gonna be an upgrade.
It'll be a "next version released, so buying it" thingy.
Do we think we will have issues with BL unlock disabling cameras?

It shouldn't. Still need to know which version they are releasing in India.
Camera restriction they have applied on Fold3 but later with oneui 4.0 no more issue, so I don't think they will implement again
Why pre-book offer is so useless this time around with a flagship? Is it like "Hey, we are giving you Snadragon this time around, not those hard to convince inhouse Exynos", so stay happy with a smart tag?

I don't think the actual cashback and accessory discount offers will be displayed till the price has been announced and deals struck with banks (most probably HDFC again).
Isn’t it odd that India still doesn’t have pricing or preorder date or retail launch announced even 24 hours past the global launch? Been buying every S flagship day 1 preorders and I can recall all the way back to 7 years when we started getting pricing and preorder info immediately. Anyone knows if pre-reserve can be clubbed with preorder when it opens up later? Last year I didn’t bother with pre reserve but did preorder directly from the Samsung India website for the ultra.

They have done it before too, pre-reserve is just there way of keeping the hype active. Pre-reserve will club with Pre-order as usual. There partner is going to be HDFC or ICICI only as they are with most bankable users who have proven record of buying Samsung Devices.
Yet we don't get the price level of US. There they are giving 512gb for price of 256gb & 256gb for 128gb. We wont have 128gb & base will be 256gb. Pricing may start 1L+ uptil 1.2L

Yeah not worried about price. And 256 is what I anyways have on the 21 ultra so will go for 256 again. But the nation wants to know when the pre orders begin?
