Agree on the Fold2. I got one a few days ago and amazed by this device. My only wish ...that it was a bit more durable with water and dust protection. but other than that, I am finding this device to be a incredible. Front screen is great for on the go, quick read/respond. And the inner screen is just awesome. Like having a medium size phone and tablet in your pocket at all times.

I have to say I think I have successfully avoided the Note20 range especially because of the Exynos CPU used.

I'm looking forward to the S21 range and 5nm CPUs!

Sadly, that’s probably for the best. They should have used the SD65+ globally and would have sold more.

Yeah exynos was bad on my note ultra, night and day compared to my fold 2. Hopefully exynos is far better for S21

I see Samsung are holding what they call “Samsung Week“ with deals and discounts. It will be interesting to see if the Note 20 Ultra is included in those deals, it’s a new flagship device and as only been out for a couple of months.

What kills me is that they launched a S20fe not long after the Note 20 Ultra with a Snapdragon 865 in Europe, then they go promote the Snapdragon version S20fe & don't even give any mention to the Exynos 990 version which is £100 cheaper.

Still for me at least the Exynos 990 works fine, not had any overheating issues & everything runs smooth enough it's still a flagship soc when all said & done just a power hungry one.

I have a feeling the Exynos Note 20 Ultra will start to tank in price in the next few months, and resale value next year will be terrible at best, moreso if the next Exynos turn out to be a beast & beating the Snapdragon 875.

Good thing is if you fight with their customer service long enough and you always own the device, you might get lucky and get a credit back.

In my country, the Note 20 lineup is being discounted modestly, with the Ultra getting a free Galaxy Watch Active 2, and the regular Note 20 getting a free Buds live.

I have just seen the deals, they are not that great. I'm guessing Black Friday will have much better deals.

Just ordered another of these to go to my dad. Whilst I appreciate the whole exynos debacle, most people outside of forums would be oblivious and I personally haven’t really got a big problem with it, which is good because it’s not available in the UK!

The cheaper price is good, at £1002 it’s cheaper than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I do wonder if Black Friday will give an even better deal tho.

I’ll end up ordering the pro max as well. Although I’ve got a feeling I won’t be keeping it this year as I’m not as taken with the iPhone as usual

Just registered for the Android 11 beta from the Samsung members app. Got the update installed. Haven't had a chance to play around with it yet.

Yup! I seen Sakitech posted a vid about it. Patiently waiting for Fold 2, should be getting news for it in a month or so..

For anyone looking to get the Note 20 Ultra and the Live buds, this seems like a good deal. It’s on Samsung’s UK webpage, as part of their “Samsung week” promotion.
