      With those $1400-2200 brick You can call people who are still using $300 mobile phone.

      No, she will still reject your call.

      Grandma will call you once a week. You will be able to take videos with Grandma at 8K. Then, ask Grandma to buy you a new 8K TV. Win / win.

    • DiLs on 14/02/2020 - 20:40

      Only if she is alive

    S20 instead of S11 I take it? That totally runs my run. I've had an S2, then S5, currently S8 so obviously next phone was going to be S11.

      Kudos to Samsung if your 2015 S6 is still working

    • sidesw1pe on 13/02/2020 - 19:37

      Whether it's an improvement or not will depend entirely on your own personal needs. However based on specs alone it is a rather large improvement over the S10.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2020 - 09:07

    How big is a standard 108 megapixel jpeg?

  • Baa on 12/02/2020 - 09:52

    I will be upgrading my S9+ later in the year. I like some the specs here and the bigger battery, but those screen sizes! I feel the 6.2" on the S9+ is probably about right for me so I think when I do upgrade it will be the s20.

    Also seems I have to finally accept the death of the 3.5mm

    • bazingaa on 12/02/2020 - 10:24

      no 3.5mm on this? :(

    • futureminime on 12/02/2020 - 11:09
      +1

      worth checking what the unit size is, not sure with the s9+ but the s8+ isn't the same infinity screen, so even though the screen size is bigger, the phone size might be closer than you think.

      • Baa on 12/02/2020 - 13:38
        +1

        Good point! On review the S20+ is only 2.8 mm longer.

        S9+
        158.1 x 73.8 x 7.9mm

        S20
        151.7 x 69.1 x 7.9mm

        S20+
        161.9 x 73.7 x 7.8mm

    • Foxxster on 12/02/2020 - 17:11

      So only choice for headphones is Bluetooth? That s BS. Seriously I don’t want Bluetooth, worse sound dollar for dollar, battery drains faster, need to ensure batteries in headphones are charged. Lose headphones easier… why why why

      • Baa on 12/02/2020 - 17:15
        +1

        You can buy USB C headphones, not as common or always as cheap but options out there.

        I prefer the cheapies when out and about as I always forget they are in my pockets and put then through the wash. They normally survive at least.

        • bazingaa on 13/02/2020 - 17:30

          Xiaomi phones come with USB C to 3.5mm converter cable, not sure whether we csn use the same on this

      • bazingaa on 13/02/2020 - 17:32

        Also costs more, I use $6 Kmart headphones on my S10

      No 3.5mm no buy for me. I've had the S6 to S10. Buying a different phone next.

        Me too, my S8+ needs replacing. Trying to find the most current flagship phone with a 3.5mm, could go S10+ but dont want to support Samsung after they ditched Jack

          Poor Jack,
          Nobody loves him

        • SlavOz on 14/02/2020 - 22:32

          Honestly it's not an issue. I was initially unhappy about it as well but I got the Mate 10, no headphone jack, and never felt it. The phone came with USB type c earphones which I kept the whole time. It also came with a headphone jack to type c adaptor. I had a few old headphones which I spent a bit of money on, and I could still use them by running thru the simple adaptor. No fuss. In fact if anything, plugging headphones into a type c port is a lot smoother and comfortable than screwing in that clunky old headphone jack.

        • vid_ghost on 15/02/2020 - 07:52

          Samsung give you that in the Galaxy A71 :)

      its released in year 2020, so next model will nicely fit the year eg S21 in 2021, S22 in 2022

        That makes sense. I think they also didn't want to be behind or equal with apple iphone numbering.

          True. Thats why microsoft went from xbox to xbox 360 instead of xbox 2 when sony was up to ps3.

      • cashews on 14/02/2020 - 16:00

        I'd hazard a guess that the next one will be the s30.

        • payton on 18/02/2020 - 18:37

          Well maybe if this one also explodes with alarming regularity like the Note7 then they'll jump up 10 numbers :p

      Thanks, that's a surprisingly good hands on article.

  • ngengerous on 12/02/2020 - 11:19

    These look incredible. Those specs are looking absolutely top of the line, the 120hz screens with 240hz touch polling will be butter-smooth - only thing I wish was included is a headphone jack. However, it's not these devices I'm excited for… the next Note will likely be just as full-featured, and I can't wait to buy it in 2 years time when it's actually affordable.

    • Pecan on 12/02/2020 - 11:38
      +4

      120hz only at 1080p though 👎

      • ngengerous on 12/02/2020 - 11:46
        +3

        That's admittedly a little disappointing, but I've used my Note 9 in battery saver mode on and off (which is set to drop the display down to 1080p) and it's barely noticeable for me unless I really hold the phone close to my face and look. Bear in mind, the 1080p resolution on this device will be 2400x1080 instead of 1920x1080 which ain't that bad in my opinion, and I'd still definitely take the lower res for 120hz functionality.

    • Chef Freeman on 15/02/2020 - 00:19

      Wish they had a 90Hz Option at a higher Resolution than 1080p or just made the 120hz available for higher Res

    Pretty lame colours as far as I can tell. If you want the Ultra, its grey or black, and if you want the top spec Ultra, its just black. Then the S20+ is only blue, grey or black. It might sound a bit vain, but I'd like my shiney new flagship to at least look a tiny bit different to every other phone - or have a blingy option like silver or gold.

    • macrocephalic on 14/02/2020 - 11:38

      Most people just put a case on them straight away anyway - so colour isn't nearly as important and people think.

      • sheepdog on 14/02/2020 - 20:34

        They come with a clear case, which is great since thats what I normally use.

    Does anyone Know if the galaxy flip will have a dual sim version?

    • jimbobaus on 13/02/2020 - 08:21

      Nano Sim and eSim
      no 5g either

      • dynamic007 on 13/02/2020 - 08:47

        Thank you, will that be for the Aus model?

        • jimbobaus on 13/02/2020 - 08:49

          They have done the same with the S20 range (the Nano and eSim) so one would assume so

          • dynamic007 on 13/02/2020 - 11:19

            @jimbobaus: Thanks again. I wonder if the experience is like that of a true dual sim phone? I.e you can select to have data from 1 sim and call from another. Or 2 sims active at the same time

            • dynamic007 on 13/02/2020 - 11:43

              @dynamic007: From the Vodafone website. Looks like the device still has to be a dual sim device

              "Yes. If your device is dual SIM enabled, you can use both a physical SIM and an eSIM. Therefore simultaneously you can have 1 plan active on your physical SIM and 1 plan active on your eSIM. This means that you can receive calls to both numbers and select which plan you want to use when calling, sending a text or using data. If you are currently on a call using 1 SIM, any calls to your other SIM will be directed to voicemail."

  • BuckEyeDuo on 13/02/2020 - 09:19

    I would buy the US version

    • netsurfer on 13/02/2020 - 13:10

      Hong Kong version might be better. Dual SIMs model and if they repeat what they did in S10, you would get a free case (though it is just a cheapy bumper case).

      • bazingaa on 13/02/2020 - 17:35

    Probably going to be a great phone but just too big as usual. Need something 5.2inch screen size with beast specs.

      Looks like a few of them are having the same deals, JB/Good Guys just posted the Buds offer

  • techlead on 13/02/2020 - 13:34

    It's so expensive. The phone is great, but I don't see a need to upgrade yet.

    • sheepdog on 13/02/2020 - 15:11

      Depends where you're coming from. I've had my S7 Edge since release - I'm noticing photos on my camera are pretty average compared to my wife's S8, and poor compared to my brother's iPhone. These days, I see a phone as a 3+ year investment.

      • techlead on 13/02/2020 - 20:24

        I have the S10 5G and I have been upgrade every year lol. I will break that tradition this year, its just too much. I can buy a decent laptop with that kind of money.

        • sheepdog on 13/02/2020 - 23:06
          +1

          The S8 through to the S10 have looked pretty much like carbon copies - this is probably the biggest leap in the last 3 years. I'm surprised you've bothered upgrading every year.

          • techlead on 14/02/2020 - 11:08

      • DarthAntz on 14/02/2020 - 11:09
        +2

        That was supposed to happen 2 years ago. But people vote with their wallets, and they still release phones where a key feature is 3.5mm audio jack. I wouldnt buy a phone without one and many many other people still feel the same.

        • techlead on 14/02/2020 - 11:41
          +1

          Potentially. Samsung took away the SD card slot and people revolted, that's one of the main advantages of Android over the iPhone. So Samsung was forced to bring it back.

          I think the 3.5mm jack is different. I used to be in the same camp as you and I still have some use for the 3.5mm audio jack on my S10 5G, but I find myself using it less and less. I have galaxy buds as well as Sony wireless headphones.

          Time will tell, but I doubt Samsung will bring back the audio jack like the SD card slot.

    • jessiehn on 13/02/2020 - 22:57

      You will be surprised but I opted for Note 9 instead of Note 10 for the same 3.5mm reason… I barely used the headphone jack since I got it! I mean I did make use of it for a little while but eventually.. it's all about the Bluetooth for me now. You won't even take notice of it much.. and would prefer wireless than wired over time

      • AncientWisdom on 14/02/2020 - 00:20

          +2

          For me it's not even about headphones, I use BT heaphones primarily, it's more about being able to plug it into the stereo in the gym, or older cars with AUX ports, or the million other things that have 3.5mm ports but not BT.

          I know you can use a USB to 3.5 adapter, but that's just one more thing I have to buy and carry around. While I can, I'll continue to make use of the 3.5mm jacks.

  • FR3D99 on 14/02/2020 - 10:38

    sometimes you just gotta take a step back and realise how disgusting powerful these new phones are getting. We're carrying computer level processing and VR level graphic computing with multiple top of the line cameras in our pocket? I'm almost OK with the price because in my opinion we are at the stage where we're reaching levels of hardware (at least in power) where you no longer need to upgrade if your phone isn't broken.

    • macrocephalic on 14/02/2020 - 11:44

      I'd be ok with the price if this could reasonably replace my laptop computer for productivity tasks. For as long as I have to carry a laptop around, I won't want to also spend $2k on a phone.

    • SlavOz on 14/02/2020 - 22:38

      lol no. Phones are designed with planned obsolescence. That's why every device eventually starts to run poorly after a few years. They know what they're doing.

    phone looks great but wtf are these people that can afford to buy phones this expensive?
    i would be too worried to carry a $2k phone around. Id probably have it on a lanyard around my neck so i dont drop the bloody thing and break it.
    i dunno i just couldnt bring myself to pay that much for a phone. Like how much more value would i get from it compared to my xioami 8T? id probably prefer spending $260 on that and the $1.75k on something else
