New v20 first impressions 2 days from N7 and Iphone 6s

Is the ir blaster pretty quick? I loved it but always noticed that my note 3/4 had a little lag in activating the transmission...

You can't be serious. Not with that dusty *** lcd screen.

LOL

I've heard the V10 has rear curtain sync flash for the camera. Was that carried over to the V20?

Since you mentioned DAC, how does it compare to axon 7's DAC?! (if you tested it)

Isn't the DAC in the V20 the first 32 bit in a smartphone?

I'm no expert and ignore the actual picture but I think the R above the flash indicator designates rear curtain?

From the descriptions I've read, that's it. Hot dang! Basically you use it with long term exposures, where it fires the flash at the end. It's how you get things like light trails with moving cars. Though I'm sure the flash won't be bright enough to do that with objects that aren't close to the lens.

I just tested it and the flash happens at the end so that must be it.

Good news. Early testing indicates no 5ghz Wi-Fi bugs.

That's a plus. My V10 won't connect to the 5.0 band.

Smaller battery. Maybe someone will make a 4000mh to fit in the future?

For my V10 I bought a 'PowerBear', 6500 mAh, extended battery which came with a new (humped) backplate. It's fine for all day video and photo capture. With the larger battery and backplate installed on the V10 it may be unsightly to some but the added utility made it attractive to me. Alas, the backplate has no kickstand built-in so some propping might be in order under some circumstances; won't fit in a holster either. I still have/use three spare LG batteries for the V10 in varied situations; I've cornered the market on battery power to an extent.

Weird. I had the issue early on with the V10 changed channels on my router and that solved the problem. I know that didn't work for everyone though.

Man this phone is amazing!! I wish the battery was bigger, but I get 4 to 5.5hrs of sot with medium to heavy usage so I'm good.

How is the LTE reception compared to other phones you've owned?

I don't have my v20 yet but hear the screen is slightly curved. Anyone have pics of the curve? I know the screen can't be as curved as the N7, I didn't even notice the curve when I looked at the demo v20. With that said and ttothose now holding the v20, do you think the curve will affect the way TGSP sticks, like the issue the last two devices Samsung released with curved screens?

It is right before the glass meets the top and bottom frames. very slight but runs along the top and bottom frames.

Haven't taken this out in the country yet to compare with the Note 7.

I don't notice the delay so much as I appreciated the capability. This is my first IR phone and really like sitting on the sofa controlling my audio/TV.

How's the Bluetooth and WiFi? It was spotty with my v10.

 

[Phenom]

Have you found any conditions that have made the phone lag or heat up significantly? Wondering if the Snapdragon 820 will stutter (compared to the 821) if if Nougat is enough to resolve a lot of those issues.

Never noticed any difference with the N7 or I6s. My Plantronics Voyager works fine and my home WiFi has the same bandwidth in my home - never a drop out yet.. kinda too soon to notice but do not see any operational differences in LTE, Bluetooth, or WiFi.

Hi, are there additional pins at the back to fit in a wireless charging receiver?
