Note 20 Ultra pre-order thread!

[buzzy3970]

The first charge is a pre authorization hold. The real charge will come right before it ships.

My American Express account went from a pending charge yesterday, to not showing a purchase from Samsung anymore! Not sure what that means, but it's interesting.

You can try the following ref code: ref-dbw4xg
​
Note that this only works for first time orders. So you could try creating a new account with a different email if you already have an existing account with previous orders!

Does anyone know if you are able to have your order go to a holding location at a walgreens for pickup there if you know you won't be home? With other FedEx shipments you can have them held at participating walgreens but with the phone wasn't sure if that is still possible or not.

Note20 delivery--FedEx and Walgreens

perfect thanks James!

i thought it would be the same but wasn't sure with this being a signature required item and just the price of the phone (if that makes a difference with them)

Mine still says Ship by 19

Mine says "Estimated to deliver on Aug 21."

Yeah cause from a YouTube video I have to find... the Exynos users are the reason we don't have 120hz at full QHD.

Because the video noted that the new tablet that's coming out has 120hz at QHD resolution with the SD processor... so there should be no reason the N20U shouldn't be able to. But the guess is because the Exynos processor can't handle it, Samsung won't enable it on the SD phones angering Exynos owners. :-\

I really hate for those that are having to get the Exynos chipset.

I saw that too. Wondering if it may be due to battery life. They had issues on the S20 even at FHD. The tablet has a much bigger battery so it won't be as noticeable of a drain.

Man I'm excited to be back in the wilds of pre-order madness lol its been a while! I've been sticking with the s10+ since launch because T-Mobile's JOD has been getting ridiculous lately with their insane down payments. This is the longest I've gone without upgrading in yeeaaars. Been with Notes and S series since the Note 2 and started with S series at the S7 Edge.

I went direct through Samsung this time. My s10 has had a spider crack for a while and the $350 cracked trade in from Samsung is a pretty good deal compared to the alternatives in that situation.

Chose the white T-Mobile version with Samsung upgrade program and the buds live/sanitizer, charger combo. Got the 10% off "cancelation fake-out" discount.

I've struggled pretty hard with the decision to cancel and go with an unlocked on the buyback program instead but idk that I want to mess with the order at this point or if it would be worth it.

I think we all going get them Shipped same time that pre-order early .

 

[mustang7757]

My "Invoice" says "Ships by: 8/19" and my "Receipt" which came about 4 hours later, says "Expected Delivery: 8/21"! That's Samsung Direct!

We should be getting shipped around same time .

 

[Mike Dee]

Good , ill wait until the shipping labels get created before your peeled against the window

You got the wrong guy. As much as I want the device I can wait. I've outgrown that gotta have it yesterday. I like shiny new toys but a new device isn't going to change my experience to the point where I'm anxious over it.

 

[Mike Dee]

Yep I actually switched to the basic black too. Hopefully that doesn't delay my order. Just was already trying to convince myself that I wanted the bronze but meh. Plus, I find frosted backs to be very slippery so I think I'll like the grip of the gloss more.

I've had both in the past and I don't see how a satin finish could me more slippery than a gloss finish. Of course that only matters if it's not in a case.

Am I the only one who elected to go with a Note20, not ultra? I mean, last year I got th Note10 and it has been wonderful. I will trade my Note9. I see references to no cost upgrade with the Samsung Financing I choose last year, but wasn't given that option when I preodered. I did still owe $290 on the Note 10.

I went with the basic black The more photos I see of the bronze the less I personally like it.

Same here. I'm liking my choice of black more and more

Sure it'll be a great device and personally I enjoyed the smaller Note 10 as well. But last year the difference between Note 10 and 10+ wasn't big enough to matter to me. This year it's a little different and didn't feel great paying $1000 for it.
But in these tech forums you'll see more people getting the Ultra, normal buyers might think different or not who knows.

IDK. Lately I've been seeing people who ordered after me get their phone before me. That's my luck.

I watched that YT video as well.

My only regret was the 128 gb downgrade, but I've retired, don't take much photos, nor that much music. Using on 82 GB of the 256 GB on the Note 10 and that's with excessive "junk" I should optimize off. I got the unlocked last year and did the sprint firmware (I'm on Sprint --TMobile now--) and there was question of quality of calls, but I still preordered the unlocked N20. I don't need a new phone I just wanted one. Unfortunately, I have just finished induction chemo, that was not planned, so I decided to enjoy my retirement and buy what I want for now...
