Samsung Galaxy Note20 / Note20 Ultra

[Zito Abroad]

For those that go naked...

No my wife has stolen our Ultra for now, but after seeing D2D review of the TAB7 with Dex as a far more productive tool over the IPP I am almost tempted to pursue DEX a bit harder this year especially now it's wireless

Liking it so far

Even normal dex is great

This is what you call real multitasking

The screen shot I posted was from my Note 20 Ultra. There is another screen shot from another users Note 20 Ultra showing it working in more detail...

Is it a consistent 96hz or is it still adaptive?

We’ve been on multiple Samsung journeys together. I remember us with our ceramic S10+’s when you switched back to iPhone and Apple Watch when your notifications stopped coming through. Any such problems? I’m thinking of joining you on the NU20 path, yet again. No self control.

Ha yeah its been a smoother experience this time. Not missing things at all. Even the apple watch which I thought I would miss is not the case. Apps I use on the watch I can get on galaxy watch

Battery life isn't perfect but still lasts me through a day.

I finally got around to setting mine up yesterday AM and thought they sounded terrible on a bike ride.

I took another look at them today and realized in my hurry yesterday that I put them in upside down. I thought that little rubber bit was supposed to go against the ear hole and then looking at them this AM I was like "wait, those are just the charging contacts."

Putting them in right side up, they sound a world better

Someone on Youtube mentioned the same thing. It was easy to get confused.

What are you enjoying the most?
Can you use 120hz with QHD?
I’m so tempted. What colour did you get?

To be fair stuff like this

Taking s pen out and doing smart select

Love the pop up windows too where can reply while still doing what I was doing. I love this for WhatsApp

Love 120hz for sure, great having all my devices running 120hz

Running 120hz fhd and enjoy using Qhd 12hz on tab s7 plus. Currently running dex full time on the tablet

Yes I think for full ANC the Samsung may seem sub par but given for active use walking/jogging where its essential to have some awareness I think its the right balance

I am always concerned as my wife walks the local park in KL city center and to get there, there are busy roads she has to cross etc and full ANC would be dangerous IMO

But that’s the beauty of earpods with the ability to easily toggle it on or off. Both the Sony WF-1000XM3 and AirPods Pro have really good ambient mode/transparency mode that actively bring the outside world into your ears and much better ANC when enabled vs. the Buds Live. I found the Buds Live to have inferior versions of both ambient mode and ANC vs. the competition. They’re fairly good wireless earbuds overall but nobody should purchase them specifically for those features.

It is consistent, which is where it can be debatable as to whether it can preserve battery or drain it faster. That would depend on use.

But also if you don't care for it switching and want a constant higher than 60hz, it can also be useful.

 

[Healer Flame]

I am the opposite. I think the square edges of the Note give it a sharper and more modern look

That's exactly what i like about my Note10+ too. It makes the phone look wider and sharper. Sadly the regular Note 20 has softer rounded edges even thought its flat screen.

Nice, I might go to that, I prefer a consistent frame rate. Don't care about battery drain, can always go to battery saver if running low.

They seem to have designed the regular Note 20 by committee. Its all over the place in terms of design.

How do you activate pop up windows for things like WhatsApp?

Go to settings and then Advanced features and go down to smart pop up view and choose what apps you want to appear like that for notifications.

I have WhatsApp, messages and Tapatalk. Very useful when you are doing something to quickly reply. Love this feature.

Basically like dex windows for when you need it

Brilliant. I've literally just used it with WhatsApp.

I didn’t even know about this feature. I’m going to go and see the phone later today... I’m trying to be strong but I don’t think it’s working.

If you set it at 96HZ can you set the display to 1440p?

Lol maybe see what the iPhone brings

 

[yui4]

I have 2 potential buyers for my iPhone 11 pro max this evening. Not sure if its just me but I have kept hold of it as a 'just in case', but I'm thinking I should just cut the chord and get rid.

The iPhone will be announced soon anyway. Lol

Just more of a general Dex question. My TV is an 8 year old Samsung plasma, so it didn’t have the ability to wirelessly connect. Is there any kind of dongle, almost like a chrome cast that you can use?

Yes, an android TV box with mirarcast should work, chromecast should work.
