Wouldn't know, haven't even seen the December security patch yet (US unlocked version on Verizon).

Nope, doesn't matter if I cover before or after, it doesn't use the telephoto at all until after going to 10x or higher.

Off topic, but anyone else with a Note 20 Ultra find that it DOESN'T actually use the telephoto lens until you're at 10x or higher? I couldn't figure out why pics using telephoto always looked like oil paintings when it's *supposed to be* 5x OPTICAL...so I started covering lenses today while...

Based on your primaries one of which you eluded to not being *that* big of a deal (pure Google experience, but open to the Note20 Ultra) I'd suggest the Note10+. You can get it for a lot cheaper than the N20U, and it doesn't have a domino glued to the back like the N20U does. The battery life is...

Nope, returned it. I've owned every Note since the first one and returned this one. First problem with it, they DOWNGRADED the storage. Second problem with it, battery life was NOT good (first Note ever I could say that about). Third problem with it, Google and Apple have proven, you don't need...

Note 10+ is current primary with a Pixel 4 XL backup / vacation (for the camera) phone. Backup will likely remain the same for the foreseeable future (pretty sure the Pixel 5 will be another dud and I only got the 4XL to replace my 3XL as I was able to get it new from Google for right about $500...

I don't need more than 128gb, in fact, I'd probably be fine with 64gb...BUT, for Sammy to release the S20's (and seems like possibly the Note 20's) with 128gb base after the Note 10's were 256gb base is pretty crappy. And even though I again don't need the space, i'd be hesitant to buy any Sammy...

I'll find out soon enough I suppose. I have the + and Ultra on order, neither has shipped yet (which is odd considering many people (most?) that pre-ordered right away have already received theirs)...i did pre-order late, but jeez. Anyway, i like the on paper capabilities of the ultras cameras...

Pretty sure the note 9 s pen won't fit/click into the silo on the note 10+

All S20's have 12gb ram except the higher end ultra has 16gb. Personally, I'd go Note 10+ for less $$$ (and I have one). Better storage, same ram...only big differences are the 120hz screen and the cameras, but it's still Sammy software running the cameras so I'm skeptical as to whether there...

My thought is simple, cause iOS SUUUUUCCCKKS.

Fully admit...read title only.

This topic is a straight up rip off from Droid life, they posted this like a week ago and it's gotten the most discussion from any topic they've done in years. Jeez.

Seeing the same on my Note10+ now. Currently 34% battery with screen at 13% usage 3 hrs 32min and Android system at the top at 15% Seems to happen around 55-60% battery. Like, takes a LONG time to go from 100 down to 60% or so, then after that it falls fast.

None here, though some things I wish were different. Mainly, FLAT SCREEN SAMSUNG! We all know you can do curved screens, enough already! Just STOP IT! The ISFPR should have been optical...had some phones with optical and S10 & now Note 10+ and optical is WAY BETTER. At first I hated the power...
