It connects to 5G UW automatically.

FYI, if you are on Verizon then c-band is (finally) enabled in the beta release.

Does anyone know if a software update will be required to access the new 5G c-band coverage that is rolling out? Maybe this was covered elsewhere and I missed it.

I've had my Pro for 24 hours and the battery performance seems just fine. No concerns and much better than my S20 Plus. On it pretty much constantly yesterday and still had 40 percent left at bedtime. It drained about five percent overnight over 8 hours. It should easily be able to get through a...

I just got a shipping notification for my Verizon order. Two day delivery thru UPS.

I had to hop over to BB to check out the brightness. Next to my S20+, the Pro was every bit as bright (if not brighter) and the whites were whiter. A good display. Maybe not the raw nits of the S21 Ultra, but I am no longer concerned!

Thanks for the updates, Mark! Interested in your impressions of real-world speed and fluidity of the OS, screen brightness, and of course eventually battery life! What are you coming from? New thread?

Yes, Best Buy sent me an email letting me know it was ready for in-store pickup.

I picked up my preordered S20+ in store yesterday. All is well EXCEPT except I am not able to redeem my $150 Samsung store credit. They gave me an instruction sheet to download the Samsung Store app and then go to my Inbox where I check eligibility by entering my IMEI code. Samsung says the...

Hi, I wanted to see if anyone else has found a fix to the speakerphone turning off during phone calls. I use my phone quite a bit for conference calls, and after 20-30 seconds the screen goes blank which requires a wake-up by pressing the home button. It's an annoyance when trying to quickly...

From the Best Buy forums it sounds as though there will be no early releases (prior to the 16th) for those who chose in-store pickup.

Recommend this thread is split into two - 845 and Exynos - based on early feedback about the battery life differences based on chipset.

Does anyone know of a good way to restore your apps after completing a factory reset? On Nexus devices it is really easy because the Google Now launcher remembers your apps, wallpaper, layout, etc. Anytime I restore on a TouchWiz device I end up spending a couple hours getting everything back...

I'm on the beta thru Verizon and AOD seems to have a bug where notifications will disappear after a while -- leaving only the clock/date and battery icon. The notifications are restored only with a re-boot or clearing of the app data and cache from Application Manager. Anyone else having this...

Has anyone seen any improvements in Advanced Calling performance (specifically wifi calling) after the latest firmware update, as Verizon notes per the change log? I've had a lot of problems with wifi calling - most notably that people can not hear me at all even though I hear them. Also dropped...
