Note 20 Ultra pre-order UK thread.

As I'm not personally interested in a Network Contract I use Pay Go on Vodafone which provide 5G to Payg Customers.

I also use o2 Payg who give 100Gb of Mobile Data but they don't offer 5G on Payg - yet.

Stay Safe.

I have to laugh at BT sometimes, when I look at my plan (which is basically unlimited texts/messages and 3gb data for a fiver) they say my phone/contract is not capable of VoLTE, which I have been using for the last 18 months!

Where I work there are places where no network coverage is possible so VoLTE is necessary and with unlimited WiFi its no issue, but I ain't going to moan to BT lol

Do you mean voWiFi?

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

And their unlimited sim only deals are insane. currently £22 a month for truly unlimited, full speed data that can be tethered. I got mine for £20 a year ago.

I was a big advocate of Three back in the day. Periodically try them and the past 3 years they have been terrible.

Granted signal and speed are subjective. But I travel around therfore giving them a good test.
Certainly my whole village is now a three black spot.

Hopefully their massive investment in 5G spectrum will bear fruit, but not in the short term. Their placement of 5G is just weird, small random towns instead of population hotpots or venues.

As always, if you can get it the deals are pretty good. If you have a uni / college email it's £16 unlimited all.

Only downside moving away from EE is missing out on BT sport which only costs me £5 extra a month to cast.

If I left EE and got it through sky it’s £25 a month so really cost wise makes sense to get a smart sim plan with EE

I'm in Ireland and here 3 has always been a disaster, besides poor coverage and non existent customer service I'm surprised they have any customers left

 

[mgbosshogg]

I'm unfortunate that the Only provider that can offer a signal in my street and a better signal in the wider village is O2. Kids are with sky ( o2 provider) which has been great.

So kinda stuck with them. I ( global pandemic not withstanding) normally travel, so usually have another sim as standby.

The other real benefit to me is being a tech advisor on their ( o2) community forum. This gives a discount on my bill depending on how much I contribute.

Looks like the N20U will be dual sim which is brilliant. But also looks like the Exynos is not esim which is a shame. Anyone heard any different?

Has anyone heard that the Snapdragon 865+ Note 20 Ultra uses superior Sony camera sensors whereas Samsung uses their own sensors in the Exynos?

I certainly haven't heard about this.

In other news my tab S7 plus has been dispatched

No never heard that, that would be nuts if they did but don’t think there’s any truth in it

I'm fairly sure I would have picked up on that if it was the case.

 

[mgbosshogg]

Lol, it would not surprise me.

I read on another forum about this but it was regarding the S20 series, not sure if the Note 20 ultra uses the same actual components as the S series but here's the link.

No real evidence that the Sony snapper is any better than the Samsung but its interesting to find this out.

I haven't cone across this personally.

Can you link to where you've read this please ?

The poster on the other forum dropped that link but like I said it doesn't actually say if those sensors are in the Note 20 Ultra or if they are any better performing but nevertheless they have used different sensors in the Exynos and Snapdragon S20 series.
