Nice video review of S20
I think I’m going to have a lot of fun with Pinky!

I don’t get migraine headaches very often but instead I get seizures that make it look like I had a stroke. Can’t speak and sometimes can’t read or write or understand what’s being said to me. It blows out the part of my brain that processes language I guess. I’ve had so many of the damned things I think it may be the reason I’ve been dropping my phones a lot the last couple of years. I never used to drop phones. My coordination is wonky
@majkom I’m sorry you couldn’t use the S20’s. I hope I don’t run into any problems myself. Since the s8’s I’ve not had any eye strain or owl problems but with each new release if they tweak or change something I’ve got to watch out.
lol owl problems? Typo but it was so funny I’m going to leave it in. Those danged owls! Always pooping and leaving feathers everywhere!

Nah man. Ain’t no joke. My iPhone XS Max display gave me a seizure migraine. I lost the ability to speak for a while. It took me almost a month to recover and during that time I couldn’t even use my S9+ which never bothered me before. I didn’t realize you thought he was joking so I gave your last comment a frownie face, lol. On the main part of the forum we pwm sensitive people got roasted by some people for being hypochondriacs.

But maaan , samsung industrial design is soo good now, s20 really looks awesome and is so light and it feels so good in hand. apple lags behind
*ladies you know the procedure* in glossy voice
I remember my older phones like Sony Ericsson and Nokia use to give heavy migraine if i talk over 15 or 30 minutes.
Sorry majkom i thought you were joking but i learned something today.
Yikes! I wonder what those phones were doing to you!
My old Nokia battery would just flat out die if I tried to talk for 15 minutes!
Strong antenna radiation i guess. I think modern phones are harmless comparing to 10-15 years ago.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra review: shutter bug
A 108-megapixel camera was a big technical challenge for Samsung; they didn’t quite pull it off.
Verge review is out
GOOD STUFF
Huge, 120Hz screen
Great battery life
Quality zoom photos at 10x
Very good selfie camera
BAD STUFF
Main camera softens faces too much
Main camera hunts for autofocus
100X zoom and 108-megapixel photos are mostly gimmicks
Expensive for the value

Pretty big Delta in some of the reviews. I imagine the pending software update will solve the top two negatives, and the other two are just reality.
Sounds like they have already done one software update for the camera, but there will be another bigger camera update coming, hopefully they can get that out pretty soon.
The focus issues dont worry me at all. Its going to take a while for their software to get dialed in for these new sensors and lenses. Like I said before, their software ability will be the limitation as the hardware is best in class. Software can be improved.
Worst case this camera already competes with the iPhone and Pixel. Best case it passes them when the software improves.

Bring on the reviews for us peasants who ordered the S20 and S20+ dammit!
Quite a lot of reviews popping up today, The Verge and Android Central are out along with CNET
True, cameras these days the gap is so small what ever flagship you have will still take great photos
Maybe the iPhone xr would be good?well, probably oled phones are not for me
Had same problem with note10, so will try iphone and then buy SE2
Probably safe to assume but this digital zoom should continue to get better and more usable and long zooms right?? Is this some proprietary Samsung tech and if so can we expect to see this in other phones(specifically the Pixel)? I ditched my DSLR and only used it on my road trip for the zoom, I am thrilled the advancement in optics such as zoom and wide angle/night shot on phones and can't wait to see where we are even in just a few more years
Has anyone that pre-ordered from Samsung gotten a tracking number yet? My order has said "in process" for a couple of days now. Anyone have anything different?
Also, Buds and 45W charger havent shipped. Still have the ability to cancel those.

I have a FedEx shipping label and tracking number. Ordered direct from Samsung

Odd. Wonder why I’m stuck on processing.
Me, too. I’m sure it will change soon enough. Mine isn’t due in until March 6.
lol my husband was uncharacteristically lax. He forgot that he needed to actively check his order status. I think he was going to cancel his preorder. But it’s in process now. Though the buds and case he ordered aren’t. I think he would rather keep his Note 10+ at this point.
I’m personally glad it’s on its way. He also ordered the wrong color and didn’t even notice until I questioned it. I’m kind of at a loss to explain that. Fortunately he doesn’t care. He likes the Aura glow of the Note. I have no idea what he’s thinking of doing eventually.
Mine shows March 6th as well. But I'm pretty sure thats the first day they are available.
I pre-ordered on Feb 21 and my S20+ is still in processing stage. It says expected delivery March 5. My Buds+ and case are still at "order placed" and I'm able to cancel.
I have tracking from Fedex, but not from Samsung. Sign up for a delivery manager account with Fedex and you might see your tracking. Don't remember how long it takes to setup an account though.My order also says in process on Samsungs site.
Sorry if this has been posted already. Just in case it hadn't:
