Im seeing a lot of places saying the 100x zoom is a gimmick and that the pictures taken at that much zoom look awful.

One really cool thing is that apparently all models of the phone contain all the bands for the other networks. So an unlocked Verizon model should fully work on T-mobile and Att as well. And the unlocked will work on all of them out of the box.

At these prices, I think I'll wait for the s20 plus price to drop and then make a move. The ultra camera specs just dont offer enough of a tangible increase to justify that price jump.

Probably sitting these ones out. Strange, it's getting easier and easier to just say no to new devices ?

Gotta ask, Ultra just because you want the top of the line?

Besides The camera zoom and higher megapixels, does it offer anything over the plus model?
I almost got the S20+ to be honest. But the camera features brought me to the Ultra. But to your question...other than camera features....the Ultra doesn't offer anything over the s20 or s20+
I know you can't zoom in at 100 and still expect a great shot. But if I didn't get the Ultra...i would probably second guess myself a lot :)
FOMO is a real thing lol

Fair enough. Just didn’t know if I missing something regarding additional features. So it’s just the cameras and a little bigger right?

With those trade in deals I’m really conflicted now. Either keep the Pixel 4 xl that’s coming tomorrow or buy a s10 to trade in and bring the s20 cost to around 1k. Hmmmm.

Whew that S20 Ultra is crazy expensive
If I was interested I’d go straight for the S20 Ultra 512GB with 16GB RAM.....if they even made that version available down here.

Will be interesting to see how these all sell at the below prices, wishing Samsung all the best wow!

£1399? Yeah nobody will buy these at all...apart from techies on here of course. Looks fantastic but no the market will not pay that money...
It’s £1,199 for the base model of the ultra. So £50 more than the base model of the 11 pro max but you get double the storage.

Yeah just seen that but shame there’s no 256GB. They are doing an apple if you want more storage you get the 512GB.

I know the pro max 512GB is £1500 so that’s bad too but Apple can get away with it at time’s but not sure Samsung should play the same game
