Note 20 Ultra pre-order UK thread.

[evohicks]

Just wants a easy sale for money towards the next iPhone rather than eBay fees, gumtree etc though I've made a post before there's rumours all over Twitter that once the review embargo is lifted this phone is gonna get bashed abit for medicore battery lift.

So check out post #6 here...

When you take into consideration the Note Screen size, the inferior chipset and higher res @ FHD+ than the 2 highest finishers, I'm surprised.

Jesus man, Nexus 6....you will feel like you did time travel to the future when you get your Note

. I measured the Nexus 6 and the N20 is a little narrower and only about 4mm taller. Can't wait. Hang on I need to charge my phone!

As history dictates, I have pre ordered.

256Gb Ultra in Mystic Meg White.
Beans for a bonus ( which I'm still shocked about).

Not had a Note arrive before the release date since my 7 Fireball Edition came 4 days early.


Oh, hi Kath, good to see you. .

If you are using the upgrade program every year the 20% payment in month 24 is great. Really lowers the payments.

Its a free contract upgrade

Hi, I wondered where you were, lol. Every year we live in hope that we might just get it a few days early. Definitely a nice surprise to get the free buds too.

 

[Kath1404]

Mine is still on 'order placed'
If its Samsung UK then its very doubtful that we'll get it before next Friday.

Mine says preparing despatch now on the phone and shipping requested on the buds. You can hope!

Yeah mine says that now.

I like when you pre order the phone it asks what date you want it on, and tomorrow is greyed out for some reason lol, earliest was 21st.

Just checked my order and is says preparing for dispatch.

Only 5 very long months for me, long time apple user that tried a few Samsungs namely S4, S6, Note Edge but always went back to iPhone after a few weeks until I tried the Note 8 which I stuck with until S10+ then Note 10+ But I had an itch that needed scratching and something was telling me to try the iPhone 11 Pro Max so I sold the Note 10+ and went to apple again, oh god how boring but had to wait until the new Note came out to go back as really love having the Spen.

I did exactly the same thing. I had the Note 10+ and traded it for the 11 Pro Max as I had the itch to go back to Apple but it was a bad decision. I’m definitely putting and order in for the Note20 Ultra as I’m really finding the iPhone so boring to look at and use.

I typically buy mine from my local Uk Samsung Experience Store so I can un box it in house to ensure there is no cosmetic damage and it boots up and I'm not having to wait in for a delivery.

Totally appreciate not all offers i.e freebies are available this way the same as pre ordering.

I also like to listen to what early adopters report back on the phone and do a lot of YouTube viewing.

I've had a play with the Samsung Note20 Ultra in my local Uk Samsung Experience Store today and it looks awesome and the camera bump actually helps it to be held by placing your finger up to it, as some others have said

However until it's been put through it's paces with a full retail model I'm still not pulling the trigger on the Exynos 990 version yet.

good news that seems the buds will come with the phone...was expecting to have top redeem it later which can take a month or so.

 

[Lawrie Sherratt]

Getting back to Kath1404 original post I notice my monthly payment on the upgrade programme for the Ultra has gone up by a couple of pounds. But heyho still might upgrade.

 

[Leafs1201]

Mines gone to preparing to dispatch too, I'm now wishing I'd ordered the white instead of the black but don't want to tempt fate and re order in white even though it still says ships by the 20th, I pre ordered straight away and definitely want my phone on launch day.

 

[j_hansen]

Still haven't been able to place my upgrade order through my carrier, fingers crossed for Monday

 

[mgbosshogg]

Who's your carrier mate. You on an annual upgrade with them?

[Notefan161]

I tried upgrading through EE first but they said i couldn’t do it as it’s a lower price to my pro max so i said will just order from samsung. Plan to go sim only next year

 

[mgbosshogg]

Yeah, I have not had a phone contract since 2012. Especially since device prices got out of hand, there seems zero financial incentive to do so.

Looking at the main providers they are not even discounting the sim cost once you remove the device cost from the equation. Plus you are locked for 2 years.

 

[Notefan161]

I’m tempted to move to three when my contract ends next year. They seem to not charge extra for 5G

 

[evohicks]

I'm really not interested in 5G, I have WiFi hotpots everywhere with BT and WiFi at work and 3gb data plan, 5G would eat that in seconds lol

 

[mgbosshogg]

Lol, I have been on furlough for 4 months shielding, any mobile data is useless to me. .

( my daughter now has 195Gb in her sky data bank )
