Note 20 / 20Ultra pre order thread.

BOSSGOGG — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 16:10:38 GMT

Who has bitten after the unpacking event?

I have a White N20U with the buds live on order.

Was hoping they would somehow work their magic and fit a spen into the fold2, but alas the N20U will have to do.

Not had a white phone since my beast of a Galaxy S3LTE.

No one pre ordered yet?
No love for the Note beast?

Not much of an upgrade to my Note 10+ really. Was quite disappointed with the event.

Aye, just the bigger battery, bigger screen, higher refresh rate and touch sampling, newer ( don't get me started on the 990 ) processor, faster storage, UWB, wireless DEX etc etc.

Even the small on paper differences with a note are always larger than the sum of its parts. Roll on the 21st.

Ive preordered the N20 Ultra in the Mystic Bronze... fancied something different as opposed to the usual white and black - although the white would be my next choice...

Dont know whether to go with the buds or gaming bundle. Will decide when the phone arrives.

Do you think that the issues with the Exynos processor will have been resolved then @BOSSGOGG ?

Seen so many people raising issues with the one in the S20 (over heating, stuttering, etc).

@gmarkj

Not sure it will be "fixed" as it's exactly the same Soc. That said the Note is always a more mature, less problematic device every year.
Every year there are the same complaints about the UK "S". I have never had any of those issues with any of the Notes. ( I have owned every S up to the 8+ and tbh didn't have any issues with those either)

I read somewhere that the exynos 990 has been 'tweaked' for the note 20 and benchmarks apparently show this... I'll see if I can find the link for it.

Oh we have some movement! 😁.

Email from courier, N20U due tomorrow. Maybe for the first time since my Note 7 Fireball Edition it shall arrive a little early.

Anyone else expecting?

Did you order through O2 or Samsung Direct? Did you order on 6th August?

yeah, 100% @Cleoriff

Nothing yet from O2 or any push notification from the DPD app to say it is on the way. I'd like to think I'll get mine this week given I put my pre-order in before the unpacked event had finished. I can't imagine it was long after preorder opened. Will be mighty annoyed if it doesn't turn up this week

BOSSGOGG — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 13:43:11 GMT

Ordered mine from Samsung before the unpacked event finished.

The pre order UK thread on Android Central is getting busy with people who have had their DPD notifications.
I also received an email from Samsung saying they were on their way.

Rbarkley82 — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 14:01:35 GMT

Spoke to O2 and they said they will despatch for delivery from 21st August... I asked is that they are despatching on 21st and they said no, first orders will be delivered on 21st... fingers crossed.

Hmm guess that will be Thursday night before I know if I'll be getting it this week in that case 😞

Unfortunately Im in the same boat @Atrindoril

Re: Note 20 / 20Ultra pre order thread.

Rbarkley82 — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 11:08:22 GMT

Anyone had a despatch notice from O2? See plenty of people in the UK on facebook has received theirs today from Samsung
