The phone comes with a screen protector pre-installed. It's not tempered glass but it's pretty good and I'd honestly refrain from removing it/switching it out unless it gets scratched up quite a bit.

For what it's worth the S20 Ultra just received a camera update today.

I don't know how much it matters to people but one of the things I'm looking forward to about these phones over my S10+ is the location of the NFC reader. On the S10+ it's in the middle of the phone o

I was able to get both of mine through, no mention of pre-order bonus though. Paid extra for the overnight shipping though for $10 it's worth it. An S20 Ultra and S20 coming my way both in Cosmic Gray lol.

I think I’ll sit this one out until the end of the year. I normally buy the note and an iPhone for sure but I buy other phones when good deals come up. Plus 5g on all carriers is a hot mess right now.

Nothing was mentioned as far as pre-order bonus's with Sprint unfortunately. Probably won't get anything.
I'm going unlocked for the first time. I'm done with subsidizing. Now my iPhones and Galaxy devices will come straight from the source.

Got the S20 Ultra, Buds+, and 44mm Watch Active 2 for around $1000. Samsung also sent me an email this morning giving me my extra $35 credit since I made my preorder before I could get my reservation email.

How does one get this deal?? Do tell!?

Traded in my S10+ for a $600 discount and used the $200 credit on a bundle with the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Buds+. Overall I am paying $799 for the phone, I got the Galaxy Buds+ for free and because the Watch Active 2 was part of a bundle it was only $175. My subtotal was $986 (I got insurance for $11.99) and taxes were $96 so about $1,083 in total. Overall I got $875 in discounts.

I always tell people if you don't care about holding onto your phone for forever, Samsung always gives insane discounts for trade-ins. It's kind of a sunken cost since I paid off the phone already but it's more than I'd get if I sold the phone on eBay or some other site for myself.

I've done this every year for the past 3 years. I got my S9+ for $400 on day 1 by trading in my S8+, my S10+ for $500 on day 1 by trading in my S9+, and now I'm getting the S20 Ultra, Galaxy Buds+, and Galaxy Watch Active (~ $2,000 worth of products) for just under $1,100.

Mine was a bit higher since I only had a S7 to trade in. $200 for it is a great price. I paid 1320 for everything with 96 in taxes, 235 in credit, samsung care plus, $65 led case, galaxy buds, 45 watt charger.

You should get the $235 credit towards any accessories (Smartwatch maybe or new Buds+) 

Idk I haven't seen anything mentioned anywhere so I'm just going to assume I will get nothing and if I get something then it's cool I guess.

What's everybody going with for cases and/or screen protectors? I typically use Otterbox but for my S9+ I've been using a Spigen case with a Bodyguardz screen protector after I had issues with wireless charging working with the Otterbox. I might try the Commuter series Otterbox this time and see how it does.

Probably going with a Spigen again they're solid and cheap, I'll use the factory installed protector until it gets too beat up and then probably go naked after that.

I received my S20 Ultra Spigen case today. Decided to go with the Spigen again, figured I'd start with the cheaper one and if I didnt like the way it fit i could get the Otterbox later. Here's some pictures comparing size with an S9+ Spigen case. b3621cd025419c6d818555ecaee650f6.jpgc13b370a7603db84b1f43862af7068ec.jpg

I use speck presidio cases only for my samsungs. I like the grippy-ness (?) of the case, and I can't stand fully enclosed cases. I already got mine in for the ultra when it gets here. Gotta pick it up at walgreens...

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
