Its almost time for the next iteration of Samsung's Galaxy Phones! I'm planning on pre-ordering either the S20+ or Ultra. Current Rumors have it going on Pre-order February 11.  Let the discussion commence...

Will Sprint even get one?

About the Galaxy S20, FCC states that "this device contains the following capabilities":
 

• 850/1900 CDMA (BC0, BC1, BC10), 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/1700/1900 WCDMA/HSPA, Multi-band LTE, 5G NR (n71, n5, n66, n2, n41), 802.11b/g/n/ax WLAN, 802.11a/n/ac/ax UNII, Bluetooth (1x, EDR, LE), NFC, ANT+, Wireless Power TransferThe device contains receivers which tune and operate between 30MHz – 960MHz in the following bands: CDMA850, GSM850, WCDMA850, LTE B12, LTE B13, LTE B14, LTE B26, LTE B29, LTE B5 and LTE B71.

 

while the S20+ ratchets the 5G bands up quite a bit to the following: 

 

• 850/1900 CDMA/EvDO Rev0/A, 1x Advanced (BC0, BC1, BC10), 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/1700/1900 WCDMA/HSPA, Multi-band LTE, 5G NR (n71, n5, n66, n2, n41, n260, n261), 802.11b/g/n/ax WLAN, 802.11a/n/ac/ax UNII, Bluetooth (1x, EDR, LE), NFC, ANT+, Wireless Power Transfer

Looks like it by the radio specs. Looks like all 3 will support N41. I'm planning on upgrading my AT&T line though, I'll hang onto my 9+ on my Sprint line for awhile. 

Its interesting that the report doesn't list B46 or B48. I'll have to see if I can make sense of the FCC filings, I'd be highly surprised if the left out LAA and CBRS.

Nevermind I see Sprint is on the reserve list so they are getting it.

It could support N41 because it's for tmobile. Doesnt mean Sprint is getting one.

The pre-order page has Sprint as a carrier option.

So looking at the SAR Evaluation Report I do see both B46 and B48 included in the testing. This is for the SM-G986U model, which I think is the S20+.

Sprint b41 LTE SAR level is amazing. Sprint N41 SAR is bad.

The S10 supports both of those so there is no reason S20 will not. Also why are they skipping S11-19 for?

I heard to line it up with the year. 

[BlueAngel]

If the price is right I am getting the Ultra otherwise idk.

[xdfgf]

Same. Ultra all the way. I have found that I rarely use the stylus so no real loss.

Don't know if I'm jumping at $1400, either keep my 10+ or idk at this point.

[jreuschl]

Last year Samsung had aggressive trade in, as well as buy 1 get 1 free offers. We'll see if they offer anything like that to lessen the blow.

Pre order starts on 2/20 at 11:01pm CENTRAL time

[jamesinclair]

Im old enough to remember when people seriously argued that removing the contract subsidy would result in cheaper phones.

$999. Theyre insane.

[BlueAngel]

I was able to reserve a S20 Ultra for my line, won't let me through to add another for my second line. Wonder how much this is gonna cost.

[jamesinclair]

-Removable battery
-Headphone jack
