Three months

[o4liberty]

I am coming up on three months with my Note 20 how is everyone else liking their Note.

So far this device has exceeded my expectations in every way has not failed me!!

I feel the same way as you do after two months for myself. Absolutely love it...

For me it's the iPhone killer. So that's awesome!

Android itself has out done Apple for years now. Every year people wait for some great advancements in the new iphone and every year they disappoint.

Should have had 5000mAh battery .

With so many charging options I don't worry about battery life anymore.

i bought my N20U on the 7th of October 2020...its 8th of December 2020 now...so 2 months 1 day in and so far its been good.No complains yet.

true..even my way cheaper Poco X3 NFC has a 5160mAh battery... but not a deal breaker for me but wouldve been better if the N20U had a minimum of 5000mAh.

I compare historical screen shots that I have saved from previous devices using GSAM and look to compare my SOT times and although the N20U isn't poor , to me it's bang on average battery wise for a 2020 flagship. It's comparable to my previous samsung device the s10 plus for SOT, and that's with 60Hz refresh enabled on the N20U. I typically get 4 to 5 hours per 40% to 50% battery consumption. I normally charge to around 80% from 40% hence why my figures look like this. I think I'm perhaps a little overly obsessed with battery life.
I managed to find a screenshot of Huawei mate 20x which yielded me 7 hours SOT for 40% battery usage which made me chuckle. That kirin chip efficiency was phenomenal.

I replaced my Exynos version with a Snapdragon version that I imported into the UK , and thus far I'm really happy the way this powerhouse of a phone serves my wants and needs.

its all fun and games for Samsung until you mentioned Huawei...i had my previous P30 Pro which could do 11 hours SOT...11 hours to get it to 3%... thats just pure madness.if GMS is back on Huawei i will gladly get a flagship from Huawei.but meanwhile on Samsung devices i have never gotten past the 5 hour SOT(100% to 5%) since Galaxy S7 Edge days...and weaker signal too.

We got our N20U's on release day. I like mine, it's a good smart phone. But I'm not happy that Samsung has not fixed the no notification bug for screen off memo's. That is the feature that makes the Note worth extra money to me over other phones. Battery life is not much better, if at all better, than my Note 9 (which did not have the bug, either). To be perfectly honest, I wish I'd stayed with my Note 9.

My wife does not use the screen off memo, or the Spen at all really. But she seems happy with her N20U.

 

[frederickdawg]

Same here.

I'm coming up on 1 week with my N20U. I swore I wasn't going to make the jump as I really liked my N10+, but the Black Friday discounts reeled me in. I'm happy so far. It feels like it's a tad wider than my N10+ which is why I got into Notes in the first place (I cried when I had to send back my N7). The one thing I'm having problems adjusting to is the buttons on the right side. Since I'm right handed, I carry my phone in my left hand and having the buttons there was perfect for me. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it.

I'm happy with the n20 ultra. I don't plan on switching to anything else anytime soon.

This will be the first device I keep for at least two years, it’s exceeded my expectations

This! I am almost a week in with mine and I'm still reaching for the volume on the other side... lol

That should change.....I forgot all about it being on the other side

For me, I feel that Samsung gets a zonk (a term I picked up from a car reviewer on YT lol) for the volume buttons position.

I realized with the N20U I use the volume rockers often when playing videos. I may have always used it often with my N8 but never a thought because the buttons were on the "correct side" and low enough to never be a thought when wanting to adjust the volume.

If Samsung prefers to put the volume button on the right, so be it and we just have to adjust. But I find the buttons are just too high and the power button is now too close. Too high in that I sometimes find myself having using my other hand to adjust volume while holding left handed. Or the power button is close enough to the volume that I sometimes mistaken it for volume and end up locking my phone.

If Samsung would swap positions... put the power button where the top of the volume button is currently and move the volume rocker below it then the volume buttons are more reachable with the left hand index finger and don't need to stretch as much to reach or have to use the other hand to adjust. Also to use some sort of texture on the power button would at least help identify which is power and volume faster but I think swapping the locations would help greatly in not hitting the power button as much.

Yes, I guess they did because the power button also doubles as a Bixby button and they were trying to get people to use Bixby and the button more than people use Assistant... But Bixby sucks and I disabled it on my power button on my Note 8 and on my N20U the moment I received it.

Oh well, maybe it's just me.

Otherwise, loving the phone from day one. Also, really loving it for the price I got it for with the AT&T pre-order promotion. No real bugs I've encountered so been a solid phone from day one. And I expect to keep it probably as long as I kept the Note 8.

Love the phone so far. My biggest complaint would be the on screen FP sensor. I much preferred if on the back. I seem to miss it a lot on the front and sometimes it just doesn't work. I find myself having to turn the screen on to find the right spot. Also had a bit of a problem getting used to the buttons on the right but I'm fine with it now.
