Anyone else returning their Note 20 Ultras?

[josephinelcajon]

Good and bad I have had each and every single Note so far always the biggest and the best! This is the first year I did not pre order not because I was uncertain but my carrier for 27+ years Sprint wouldn't honor my signed galaxy forever contract!

What doesn't bother me is the camera bump, the S pen moved, No Bixby button, All are changes I can live with.

What I hate. The camera is blurry and auto zooms. Samsung keeps removing sensors like health and proximity humidity and more!

Holding the phone next to the Note 10 they look to be identical in size and shape! They keep saying largest screen yet! I do not see it!

Good or bad there have been better and worse!

Lol I know what you mean, I had mine on 60hz but just put it back to 120hz variable, FHD+, auto brightness, AOD tap to show, sync on, dark mode, and apps not being used to sleep. I'm not a power user, no games but use the camera quite a bit.
I managed about 7.5 hours so far tops.

Do you mean 7.5 hours Screen on time, or 7.5 hours total, like from 100% to needing to be charged?

Am on FHD, 60hz, no 5G, putting apps to sleep. Next step is just turning the phone off lol.

Just gutted as I love everything about this phone. LOVE the camera especially, as well as all the touches with multi window, pop up window, display quality etc.

I did the same thing except I'm doing HD.

No, that's 7.5 hours screen on time, I don't think I would have any problem going 2 days between charges with my usage, much like the Note 10+

I think I'm in love with my Note 20 Ultra.

So you're getting 7.5 hours SoT amateur 120hz?

My N20 Ultra Exynos version lasts me my waking day with some change left in the battery which is my personal benchmark for my own usage habits.

I appreciate some want / need more.

The phone gets booted up at 5am and powered down at around 9pm and charged overnight which is the same as my N10+ 5G.

Battery Usage / Stats / Screen On Time as we all know is a subjective topic as we all have different usage patterns and set phone's up differently.

 

[evohicks]

So you're getting 7.5 hours SoT amateur 120hz?

Yeah, with my usage which is hardly a power user, I've not actually done 7.5 hours but if you work out my usage over around 4.5 hours it's going to be around 7.5 hours SOT. I never usually let my battery run low.

Not returning mine. After 2 wks I've gotten used to the S-Pen placement. The battery life is still not as good as the N10+ (for me) but is still good enough.

Have you compared the battery life between the 2 with 60hz refresh? I'm curious about that comparison. I'm coming from the smaller Note 10, with less than stellar battery life. I switched the refresh rate to 60hz yesterday, and didn't use the phone often--and battery life was worse! But it seems better today.

Lefties rule! lol

No I haven't. I've left it on 120 since I got it. I guess that's why the battery is not as good as my N10+.

There's no remorse here. After not owning Note since my explosive Note 7, it's great to have another Note (especially with the updated Sammy Notes, which I've used the crap out of already).

 

[pheonixmatt]

I have battery drain as well.....of course it depends on what job I'm at as one job I can just sit there and watch movies and social.
