not bad at all, lol... now what about the features/speed of the phone

 

Features it's not much different than my 10+, bigger screen and battery plus the camera but I haven't really dug into it yet as I had a side job tonight and now just getting home. The speed with 120Hz on is night and day I don't think I could go back to anything else it's really amazing. Waiting on my case to come tomorrow so I am kinda treating it like a baby as it's a bit bigger and I'm not comfortable with it yet. Absolutely love it though.

I’m thinking about waiting too since the ultra 512gb is out of stock. And I was debating between the unlocked version or the Verizon version. How long may it be out of stock? If I don’t get this I’m definitely getting the Note 20* and one or two iPhone 12s lol

Mine is out for delivery now but requires a signature. I have a family member at home who can sign but if they step out and miss the delivery I'll have to go to FedEx myself and pick it up which is pretty annoying.

You can't file the signature online?? I just did this with my FEDEX delivery coming from Dell. There was an option in the FEDEX app.

My phones are coming UPS today, and hopefully my neighbor can intercept to sign 🤞

Mine is out for delivery as well, my wife is at home so I'm good.

I've done that before but for some reason it's not providing me that as an option for this package. I opted for them to hold it at a FedEx On-Site location super close to my home so I'll just get it after work.

My concern for the Ultra (and partially why I went S20+) was exactly what MKBHD said in his video. The camera issues like extremely small focal plane might not be easily addressed by software fixes and that physics might win that battle for the worse. I hope that's wrong, but I didn't want to bet on software fixes if it wasn't better out of the box. Not all the reviews of the updated software say all the issues are fixed, just an improvement in the auto-focus issues. The Ultra is using different sensors than the S20+. I sure hope that Samsung can work out all the kinks, obviously.

Well would you look at that, they delivered it to my house anyway. I'm really excited. Does anyone know if it takes the same SIM as the S10+ or do I need a different SIM?

If you want 5G you need the sim that comes with the phone and if it doesn't you need to get one from Sprint.

Something I noticed. The new Tmobile plans on using B25 LTE with N41!

My guess is that it'll mostly be used in areas that currently don't have Band 41 but do have Band 25. It'll allow them to skip the Band 41 LTE deployment entirely and shove people onto n41. That way down the line when Band 41 gets shut down in favor of n41, they won't have to worry about migrating anyone from LTE to 5G on that band.

Anybody else having trouble moving their SCP database to their S20? I posted in the SCP Beta thread also, i get an error when I try to export a DB from my S20 and I can't see my storage to import my DB I pulled from my S9+. My phone showed up today 🙂

It was a rough day lol, I left my phone in my office all day as I didn't want to risk anything as I didn't have my case yet. It feels really fragile without it and wow what a difference a case makes, I picked up the ESR Air Armor case from Amazon for like $13 and it's great really gives me a lot of confidence now! it also gives a little protection around the camera bump and makes it a lot more usable laying on a flat surface.

Regular old SIM swap worked from my S10+ to my S20 Ultra. I just went to the activation screen on Sprint's website, put in my IMEI and SIM card number and voilà.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
