All you guys receiving your shiny new toys is making me buckle.. I need to be strong!

Com'on will power (it is the same Exynos 990 as my current S20+ is what I'm telling myself to resist temptation)!

So I don't know what it is but compared to my former Note 10 Plus, the selfie quality is leaps above what I was getting. And then after, choosing a warmer tone in editing, it looks like what you'd get from a iPhone. That's all I ask for.

Now we'll see how it does with the kids tonight.

Just got my White Note Ultra! Used smart switch to restore from an SD card and it is all setup! Took 10 minutes!

I forgot how gorgeous Samsung phones are. They really know how to do hardware!

One negative. If your kids are moving, the shots will still be blurry. That's about the only negative with this camera though. Now in fairness. My 3 year old was really moving. I don't know what camera would have taken clear shots. Maybe the Pixel.

I’m not sure what to do this fall. It’s usually the time I look forward to a new device but this year I don’t see anything as an actual upgrade to my S20 plus beside the Note 20 Ultra and even then, its not much of an upgrade.

I have to scratch the itch. Maybe a Galaxy Tab S7 Plus is in my future. Hmmmm.

man...that camera bump wobble is for real! :)

Curious, what made you go for this after not keep the S20 plus?

If I were to give you wise advice, I'd say stay put. Unless you'd really like the zoom camera and S- Pen. This doesn't feel much different than the S20 Ultra other than the fact that the camera isn't a train wreck.

I have a Spigen clear case coming Saturday :)

I like ugly hard-wearing Samsung cases, they aren't pretty but they are as solid as a brick.
Plus two kickstands is a bonus, used them on my Note 9 and 10.

I haven't seen an Alcantara case this time around, might get the leather one, the leather Note 9 case was awesome.

WTF Samsung, where's the free case this year? Cheap bastards hahaha.

I have the leather. Really nice close to Apple quality.

Otherwise I like using it without a case, especially since I got the glossy black and not the frosted glass bronze. Frosted glass/Matte is too slippery for me.
