Well folks, it's been a good 2 day run with the Ultra. I actually planned on keeping it longer but I won a free iPhone 11 Pro from a YouTube giveaway. No joke. So if I'm getting an iphone for free I might as well just stick to that.

Good luck to everyone with this phone. It's a great device. Needs some camera help and I hope software fixes it.
Can't go wrong with the 11 Pro! Enjoy!

The camera really is awesome for stills and slow moving objects.
These are the wild Mustangs hanging out by a creek bed cooling off. They are about 100 yards away. I could not have gotten these shouts with my Pixel 4XL or 11 Pro Max but the S20ULTRA did great

What’s wrong with that brown horse on the ground? Is he napping or is he dead? 😧. He’s definitely out, that’s for sure.

Congratulations! I was reading on the main part of the board the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are starting to get scarce in NYC. I hear they’re getting kind of scarce everywhere.

5G Tmobile at east midtown Manhattan. Want to see if I could see 1gb down today.

When I'm not connected to mmwave bands, 5G is still impressive. Speed is pretty much just slightly better than LTE, but I get indoor service where I never got before, especially on elevators. Wish I could get mmwave near my place in Queens.

It was an unusually warm day so the horses were cooling off in the creek bed. The young colts were lying down in the wet sand to cool off.

Ah, We have mostly cows around here. We see horses on a few small farms but see colts only very rarely. And that’s just driving by. I never really had the opportunity to watch them frolic like that. Those pics you took make the price of that zoom worthwhile in my opinion. I’m enjoying the more modest zoom on my own S20. It’s more than I have ever had before.

My 11 Pro takes some shots while in a moving car better, but they are so close that if I weren’t as dependent on iMessage and other Apple services as I am, I would not mind my S20 being my only phone.

Quick question for y’all, I noticed an option in the settings to toggle increased sensitivity on the display for use with screen protectors. Does anyone know if that bumps up the touch sensitivity to 240Hz? I’ve read that the standard frequency is 120Hz touch response until you launch a game and then it ramps up to 240Hz. Thanks!

Yep. I removed it immediately.

My S20+ came with one as well. I’m not the biggest fan of that decision. Forgive me but I have never in my life used a screen protector, so how does one go about removing it so as not to cause damage to the display?

Bought an unlocked US Samsung S20 model and I cannot find anything to activate esim. Samsung website shows otherwise. Anybody had success here?

To live around such beautiful creatures says god has blessed you tremendously.

sure beats the crowded city over-packed with angry people trying to get to work by 8 am.

It’s a thin piece of plastic. You can use your fingernail to start it and then just peel it off. Your fingernail won’t scratch glass on these phones.

Had a family event today and the first time I really put the Ultra camera to use in a situation where I really wanted pictures of the occasion. It did average at best.

I got a few really good, crisp shots at medium zooms and a couple good shots with the primary lens. Others it failed to focus properly and smoothed out the faces. And on a few moving objects it was unusable.

I really hope the first major camera update drops this coming week or else ill have a tough decision on my hands. I want to keep the phone but the camera isn't good enough to justify the price as it currently stands.
