First impressions thread.

[j_hansen]

So as we are all receiving our Note 20 this week, give us a few words of your 1st impression.

1. All that talk about HUGE camera bump is crap, it's perfectly fine and not that big or big a deal in my opinion.

2. It's not as slippy to hold as the N10+ but it might just need a slim case or skin after all.

3 To be continued..

Happy Phone Day

It was much lighter than I expected. The bump is a bit annoying when holding the phone on my right hand.

Also just posted this in another thread, my phone is making a rattling sound when I move it around. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

[j_hansen]

Yes I had a slight rattle but it's normal and coming from the OIS in the camera afaik

Normal

Thanks for confirming, I never noticed it before.

Pleasantly surprised with the phone so far!

First impressions are very decent after a switch from iPhone. I think it might even be OK with the Exynos chip.

I am very impressed so far. I have been trying to get away from Apple for years and this phone has a legitimate shot at keeping me away. Paired with the new buds live and frontier watch, I feel so comfortable. Excited for everyone else to get theirs as I believe it will live up to their expectations. Fast, fast, fast. Feels so much better than the s20 ultra. Highly optimistic about still having it 6 months from now! Congrats everyone!

Is yours the Exynos 990 version ?

I'm still backing u my N10+ and charging my N20U, so I haven't done anything with it, except for install my WhiteStone Dome Camera glass protector. I have to say, I don't mind the bump as much as I thought I would, but the size of glass on the cameras makes me very nervous. I may even end up putting a skin on top of the glass protector, for extra shock absorption. And I have cases waiting too.

Initially, taking it out of the box, it seemed to feel slightly heavier than my N10+, but when holding both, they feel the same.

I am curious about the Spen. I wonder if it is the exact same from my N10+? I am trading my N10+ in to Samsung, but I am trying to hold onto it as long as possible.

I can't wait for the transfer to be over so I can really give this for a run.

I'm happy so far, installing most of my apps from scratch this time instead of smart switch for a clean installation. Everything on full, watch and buds(buds are impressive) connected and I've just put mine on charge at 46% from 100% at around 1pm Seems about the same as the Note 10+ for battery just now but its learning usage patterns.
Heat wise I've not really noticed anything different to the Note 10+ even when installing everything and a few photos and videos thrown in.

 

[j_hansen]

Mine did get a little warm during the setup but nothing to worry about.
Initial battery usage is higher than the Note 10 plus but I'm sure it'll settle

Taking ages to set up but good so far

Taking ages to set up but good so far

It always feels like that

A positive change from my string of Pixels - this one is a keeper.

Initial thoughts.
Feels great in the hand. Giggidy.

Taken a few shots whilst out a walk after dusk - the 108mp is fantastic. Really sucks the light in.
The zoom is usable up to 20. After that a gimmick. Seems quicker switching between modes.

With a thin case on, the camera bump is a non issue.

Seems a shade quicker than my note 10+.

Loving the white colour with the silver camera mound. Keeping a clear case on for now. I did apply an ESR camera protector on. Unnoticeable.

Screen - loving it. As always. Seems brighter than the 10 at same levels requiring a lower level. Only running at 30% in the house.

Although the buttons are back on the right right side my brain is going to take time to learn.

Feccckin SPen on the left!! Jesus wept.

Device is really nice. I like the look of the Mystic Black. Camera bump is even more annoying than it was on the S20 Ultra though. Also much prefer the rounded corners of the S20 Ultra compared to the Note but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

 

[pinkapple14325]

Is yours the Exynos 990 version ?

Yes mate. Although my usage probably isn't as high as some peoples.

 

[BrwnSuga3]

I'm in love with the camera so far, definitely better than my S20 Ultra for sure with the close up pictures.

How is the camera playing with your wireless charger? I'm concerned that the bump will prevent it from laying flat against my new favorite charger.
