Noticed JB has dropped the price on Ultra. Office works still has it for $1997, could try price match tomorrow if it's still the same.

Having owned the s20 ultra for the past few months this is my take:
- Camera sometimes has focusing issues
- 100x zoom is a gimmick but a cool one
- The battery is insanely good (maybe not as good as the snapdragon variant but goes easily a day+ without needing a recharge)
- It takes a bit of getting used to the insanely large size
- Screen quality + video quality is really goodjust my 2c
imo, battery is quite bad even with 5G turned off when in an area with poor signal. I.e. at home all day and yet it goes down to almost 15% when i am barely using it other than phone calls
I have 5G off + usually use 1440p@60hz, so its not insanely good battery but still quite good for my use. Maybe try 60Hz if you're using 120Hz atm
i got an S20+ and use 60hz too… even on the snapdragon variant 120hz can be a difference of 20% battery life
Battery is not out of this world. But it was better than my iPhone XS.
Defeats the purpose of getting such a phone when you limit it like that. I suppose we paid the first adopter tax (though the Snapdragon version is simply better…). I did pay less than this deal when i bought it 5 months ago.
I think if you buy it for 1k (with the 500 gift card), then its a good phone. At 2k and I'd imagine even 1.5k, it's a bit of a push for me personally.
How do you get it for 1k?
I'd assume with the $500 JB giftcard you can get on a $69 Telstra plan.
Does the battery actually last longer than iphone 12/12 pro?
Yes. There have been a few videos from YouTubers that compare the battery of the flagships.
iPhone 12 has the best minutes/Ah but the batteries aren't as big so it doesn't last long.Although, I think the S20's they tested are the SnapDragon versions.
This or Oppo find X2 pro?
The x2pro will give you more consistent experience. I haven't heard of anything bad about it.
Someone else can comment on software updates though. Samsung has promised at least 3 major updates (3 years) and more for security (usually another 2 years).
Yep hardware wise , X2 comes out top . Also it has snapdragon.
Software Samsung is better thoughMmm, android 10 also has split screen. That's probably something I used the most out of my s10+. I use dex sometimes (don't have a desktop at home).
What other samsung software were you looking at?
According to a page on OPPO webpage, Find X2 Pro is part of Android Enterprise Program and guarantee 3 Years of Security Updates and 1 Major Software Update - Android 11 should be coming soon for it.
1 major update vs 3 major updates (ie, android 13).
No exynos . Thx
Don't forget the main camera/sensor has focusing issues up close (sub 10cm) - they fixed the problem on the Note20 Ultra with the addition of the laser auto focus.
If you wanted to go S20 series, go for the S20+ doesnt have any issues with the camera.
And most people selling second hand almost a year old for $1400.. but if I show them this link to jbhifi they may get angry and abusive….
That's why I seldom buy brand new tech goods now as their value depreciate so fast. All of the goods I bought on gumtree never had an issue (except once and that's cos the seller is dodgy). Some of them I even resold and make a small profit :)
so whats the good price point for this ultra on gumtree you recon? yeah i know must be exyno but if cheap i may bite
exynope.
Absolutely criminal we get charged these prices for the same products with inferior chips.
Rather buy S20 FE 5G Snapdragon Version
The FE have screen problems :(
What is that exactly
OW has dropped to $1497
Avoid EXYNOS.
