I also picked up a pixel 4 for $399 from T-Mobile....aren't you a little tempted to trade it in for $600 and get an S20? I'm not going to lie. Its across my mindI just picked up a Pixel 4 thru T-Mobile for $435(inc. tax) I'll just wait six months and pick up a Ultra for half price.
Like what?
No....more people worldwide buy mid-rangers overall than high end phones is what I'm trying to say.
That is really very sad. It is affecting a lot of smartphone manufacturers and other markets.
Yes, a virus that kills less people than the usual seasonal flu is the reason for the lower than expected sales.
I see alot of people with midrange devices, Samsung and otherwise. You'd never notice the difference if your eye wasn't trained for it, they look almost exactly like their high end counterparts, and that isn't by accident.
People say phones are too expensive. No, the phones YOU want are too expensive. People want all the latest specs, but don't want to pay for it. Otherwise, there are all sorts of midrange devices by every manufacturer that all almost just as good.
As for Samsung, the biggest misfires imo, was not including a non 5G variant. They're forcing customers to pay for something that isn't a necessity right now. The other, is not supporting older devices. That alone really decreases resale value.

There are definitely more important things happening in the world than upgrading a phone right now.
The S20 series isn't going anywhere,(people can buy the phone all spring/summer) nor is Samsung in trouble. But that won't stop the click bait.
Oh, of course there are. Case in point: the Corona Virus. But since the thread was purely regarding sales of the Samsung S20 line, my post was merely staying on topic.![]()
I can upgrade to Minor bump as I like those things if I were to get the s20 it would be the ultra , like the camera from what I seen on your tube
Oh yeah, I was agreeing with you.![]()
You'll have to excuse him. He has sausage fingers. That is why he loves the Spen so muchWhat is your tube? Some new fangled service I don't know about.![]()

He's got a thick skin. He can take it.I love giving stang crap.
I agree with you on the 8k recording, it's pretty much useless for most. I equate that to the note 10+ 3D scanner, pretty much useless.I refuse to exceed the 1k (CAD) mark which leaves even the base S20 completely out of the question, Ultra's base model nears 2K (CAD) with it being a definite nope.
In my opinion 8K at this point is somewhat of a useless addition to be paying extra for. Won't be of much use at this point, only 24fps (because of the processing power required will probably be less due to frame drops), and it doesn't utilize stabilization. 120Hz refresh rate might be cool for some yet don't see it as being a real necessity either, it's not like my present devices with their 60Hz displays leave me gasping every time we scroll LOL. And QHD displays (which can't utilize the 120Hz on S20 Series any ways) were never a thing for me as 1080p always sufficed.
The thing is manufactures have to toss out a few carrots (as small as they are) otherwise they risk losing their consumer base... Believe those w/aggressive pricing will see an adverse affect in due course anyway. At the going rate though we'll be seeing 3K flagships in two years time which is crazy to think about, even more crazy is their level of support won't likely be much better than devices a quarter of that price.
