Anyone else returning their Note 20 Ultras?

[evohicks]

I noticed that the battery seems to take a hit early after a charge, within an hour or so with no usage it has gone down 2 or 3% but then at around 90% it seems to stabilise a little more. This seems strange because when I put my phone down around 10.30pm for bed and alarm goes at 6am it loses around 3% overnight.
Maybe it is a network issue, I know my workplace is very tough to get signal in some rooms.

It's funny , mine since first couple days was getting 9 to 10 SOT , now last 3 days I'm staying at 7.5 to 8.5 , not sure why but still getting a day battery. But it drops fast after a charge also then like you say stabilized. I'll see next update what happens.

Someone hacked your phone. You can post it in "Ask a Question" just to make sure.

I returned mine when I decided to go with the Fold2. No issues with the N20ultra though. Averaged 7 hrs SOT for the 2 weeks that I had it. Just decided to break my cycle of Notes & iPhones and try something new.

If you already have a go-anywhere "everyday" phone then enjoy the Fold 2.

I have always found that the Notes seem to drain the first 10% charge fairly quick, if you times it 100-90% you probably get only half the usage or less than 60-50%
I haven't actually tested it but it feels like that.
If you think it's bad then you should see my petrol gauge in my 2005 Hyundai Tiburon

I agree but my S20U does that as well.

So I paid an extra $800 and gave my Note 10+ so I could have 5G and 120hz. Only problem it shortens battery life too much so I turn anything that uses a lot of battery life off. I stupidly kept the 20.

Should of returned it in the 14 days

I'm not sure what the return window is for all areas but here in the UK when ordering from Samsung there is a 28 day return policy and I checked this before purchase. We have the option to return if we don't like anything but I know its not the same in all countries as I've seen in some posts.

Everyone has different usage and I've even seen Snapdragon users having bad battery life, although most are enjoying much better life than our Fisher Price Exynos 990.

I was having high background usage from some apps earlier in the week but they seem to have settled down now but still I am nowhere near needing another charge throughout the day.

One thing that I would find handy is a scheduled charge time from the charger, like there is with fast wireless charging.

14 days is the standard in the US. But if you do a trade-in it can make things more complicated.

Yeah thats the only issue, I will always trade in my previous phone, it does get complicated then.

The good thing about ordering online is you get some time with the new phone before shipping the old one out. When you buy in store they usually want the trade-in at time of purchase.

 

[mustang7757]

I got mine on the 19 so they wanted the trade in by Sept 1 so you do get some time hands on before making the decision.

Great minds my friend, great minds.

Yeah that's correct, the Samsung chat rep said to me to hang on to my Note 10+ for a while before deciding, I can't fault them for that
