Agreed, Samsung has handled this situation very badly, they should have warned that deliveries would be dusrupted by CV much earlier.
But don't let that distract you from the product itself. It's fantastic, well worth waiting for!

I know it is frustrating, but don't cancel your order.
I'm lucky enough to have received my S20, it's a beauty.
Stay with it guys, you won't regret it!

Whoopee! Received my S20 at 12.30pm, all as anticipated. My order was placed with Samsung UK 20 Feb with shipping "by 9 March", which is what happened.
However, I also ordered a Samsung leather cover at the same time. That is still showing in my Samsung Account/Orders as "Shipping Requested - Ships by 9 March".
The leather cover has not arrived and I have had no communication from Samsung. I guess mine is a minor gripe compared to others who are being messed abut with the delivery of their devices.

Original date given was "shipment by 9 March", which is what has happened.
My order was placed with Samsung direct, not any of the retailers.

I received an email from Samsung at 14.03 GMT confirming that DPD will deliver my S20 tomorrow (10 March). I have also checked in the DPD app and they have my parcel registered, expected delivery tomorrow.

You are getting too cynical and mistrusting in your old age!

Just got a call from "Samsung Shop Team" (no idea where they are!) who advised that my UK S20 order will be delivered tomorrow (10 March) and that I should expect a DPD email or text.

This is not good news at all.
If the launch/delivery date has been pushed back to early April because of a "component delay", Samsung should have advised that ages ago.
They have continued to take pre-orders (in the UK) with dispatch "by 9 March", obviously to pull new sales in.

Any UK shipping/delivery news? Nothing so far concerning my order placed on 20 February.
I have had "Preparing Dispatch" for a couple of weeks, and today (9 March) it is still showing the same.
Anyone in UK had any news about their pre-ordered S20s?

Maybe the 'first responders' do receive training, but it's a bit tough to expect them to know and remember what to do for every iOS and Android phone out there, old and new. And it doesn't help those who get to the scene before the ambulance etc arrive, people who could be calling your family before the first responders even arrive. I've found a free app called Medical ID in Google Play and have downloaded and set it up. It does exactly what I prefer: An icon appears on the locked screen when it is woken, and by double clicking on the icon (it even tells you to double click!), you are taken to your ICE information. You can put all your medical info in, contact details etc. Try it out, first impressions are good.

Hmm, I see that now. But I'm not impressed, I don't think that someone not very familiar with a Samsung, and especially in the heat of the moment, a tense situation like attending a car accident, is going to know or remember to do all that fiddling about. On other phones I've had, I used to have an ICE app that appeared on the lock screen the moment the scrren was woken. Simply pressing the ICE icon on the locked screen took you to all the info.

I've already got all that info in my Profile. But how does a third person get to that info in an emergency, say an accident, if my phone is locked?

In Settings/Display try Increasing Brightness to about 60%, switch off all the other options (Adaptive Brightness, Blue Light Filter, Night Mode) and set Screen Mode to Vivid. That's how my S10 is set up and the colours are brilliant. And yes, I have updated the April security patch with no problems.

Go to Settings/Biometrics & Security, and check that under Fingerprints there is at least one fingerprint added. Then go to Biometric Preferences, enter your PIN, then click on Fingerprints. Why don't you enable Face Recognition? It's very good and much easier and faster than Fingerprint or PIN? Good luck!

Eureka! My April security patch has arrived, downloading now 09.45 UK. Under "What's new" in this patch it says: - The stability of Wi-Fi has been improved. - The performance of Camera has been improved. - Security patch update. There is no mention of any battery performance improvements that some posts above have hoped would be included. As mentioned in previous posts, I don't have any battery performance issues with my S10, nor did I with my previous S9. Galaxy S10 512GB Model SM-G973F UK

BandOfBrothers you are correct, these monthly security updates are just that, security updates. Any other updates included will be to correct minor glitches. I don't have a problem with battery life on my S10, and I didn't with my previous S9. I think the Galaxy S9 and S10 batteries are as good as you can get if you treat them correctly. If anyone has a problem with battery life I suggest they read some of the many threads in different forums, but starting with Samsung's own advice: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-can-i-optimise-and-extend-the-battery-life-on-my-samsung-galaxy-smartphone/ Good luck!

If the April update increases battery life " quite significantly", I don't mind waiting a bit longer! 😀

I've had my S9 excatly a year, from when it was first launched in the UK. I love taking photos, I've taken some fantastic photos with my S9 over the last year, really good quality thanks to the S9's superior camera. The S10 comes with 5 cameras! And is a further upgrade on the S9's already very good camera. That's how I justify to myself that the S10 is worth upgrading to, even though my S9 is only a year old and works perfectly well.
