Ahh okay. Not sure how they work then. I simply selected that I wanted to leave on my online account. Few days later they rang asking why etc. Then offered me a great deal. Maybe you’ve got the same option online?

You'd be better getting the S10 (or S10+) for much cheaper. I'm always one behind the latest upgrade. Great phones, Samsungs.

Yes,you'll be charging it up more often...poor battery endurance rating.

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20-10081.php

I have the S8 which has slightly better endurance but I'm looking at getting the Motorola G8 power which has a much better endurance rating.
A mate of mine has one and he rarely has it on charge.

If you dont want to spend too much move to the 10 or the 10e

If you want q decent spec but save costs move to the A range

S20 and FE comes with a premium price but the others are just as good

I use my S20 a lot as it doubles up as a work phone as well as personal due to the dual sim slots. I usually have about 25% or more left when I go to bed, and then put it on charge. In terms of usage, I was on site in Liverpool on Tuesday, I used google maps, had the music on in the car with it, took around 300 photographs on site, then the usual calls and emails, mobile hotspot for laptop etc. It still had 20% when I plugged it in at bedtime.

Doesn't give an endurance rating for the 5g but I can't see it being all that great with a 4000mAh battery

I can only go from actual real world experience, and it's miles better than both the S8 and S10 I've had previously.

How long is the contract for? Basically it is not a free handset, you are paying for it in the contract.....

Been using Samsungs for a while now ... I used to have a Motorola Razr & I loved that, but went onto Samsung with the Galaxy S3 mini and since then had the Galaxy S6+ and this Galaxy S9+... the Mrs still uses my old S3 mini its a great little phone if a tad limited but she finds it good 🙂

i had the S8 but just bought the Samsung Galaxy A71 sim free from the 3 mobile shop in Burnley.
I actually prefer it to the S 8 .Larger screen,great camera and was less than 400 quid .Think the S20 to buy was mega money in comparison.

Along with the Motorola G8 power I'm also considering the A71..£299 on ebay

Sony have always had a hardcore cult following & the monolithic designs appeal to some, some wouldn't have anything else but a sony, I used to love ripping the old K series apart the cybershot phones & putting them back together, the newer xperia models are more robust.

I'd consider going with a newer model than you currently have, but not the latest one. You get an upgrade, but you're not paying a premium.

I got a note 9 as the screen was bigger for football! Battery lasted much better than S8.

The new 20 is better for pictures but do you need all your memory gone on a handful of pics?

Dual sims is one of the best innovations in phones for many a year. Early 2000s (2005 ?) I was at a telecomms conference (because there was cross-over with gas/power sector) and told the telecomms guys that I wanted a dual sim phone - made my point holding up my work phone in one hand and my personal phone in the other. They all said it couldn't and wouldn't be done. What they meant was they didn't know there'd be money to be made with dual sims.

Dual sims is one of the best innovations in phones for many a year. Early 2000s (2005 ?) I was at a telecomms conference (because there was cross-over with gas/power sector) and told the telecomms guys that I wanted a dual sim phone - made my point holding up my work phone in one hand and my personal phone in the other. They all said it couldn't and wouldn't be done. What they meant was they didn't know there'd be money to be made with dual sims.
Absolutely, not having to mess around with 2 phones, 2 chargers etc is brilliant.

I tell a lie. It's actually the S6 I have! Released in April 2015. I've actually gone over 5 years with the same phone. New PB!
