Okay, so I have the s20 exynos version, pre-ordered it and was a 3 year update from my galaxy note 8. First thing when I got the phone in my hands, it starts warming up - pretty usual for new phones since loads of downloads and syncing in progress- Now, I live in India and the temperatures in March-April are anywhere around 35 degrees celsius. Next thing I know the phone becomes almost impossible to hold, I checked temps they were around 44 degrees. I still gave it another shot - did a factory reset, removed all apps that I did not need, turned on adaptive brightness, turned off mobile data since I use it with wifi all the time. It got a little better for a few days. The list of problems seems to be unending with this thing. I will actually create a list of issues I am having with this piece of "flagship" -
- Heats - As we all know, takes no time to get to 40 degrees where I live(ambient around 40 too atm but other phones do not)
- Seems to have iffy wifi connection - Whenever I am on phone for -say - longer than 20 minutes, the wifi just stops working, need to reconnect to make it work again
- The camera app heats this phone faster than my induction cooktop heats and that is designed for that
- Youtube videos, whatsapp, facebook - basic apps basically - turn the phone into a gentle hand warmer
- Battery life is miserable - outright miserable. I am talking 3.5 hrs SOT under good load and 4 hours under NOT HEAVY load
- Camera quality too seems to be average at times, the dynamic range when inside and shooting out of a window usually blows stuff up(not heat wise this time-thankfully)
This will be my last samsung ever, I was so looking forward to a samsung camera and a 120 hz dispay but that goes to 60 hz faster than a racing bullet. So disappointed in samsung, it was a 3 year update and with all the hype I had, I am just DISAPPOINTED.
Thanks
