128GB, non expandable memory, come on Samsung, my Note 9 beats that by miles. Then they have the nerve to brag about it taking 8K video!🤣
Please Samsung, don't become Apple!

Ah yes, Apple fanboys often have to repeatedly tell themselves this. Especially when trolling Samsung threads.
Exactly. Sorry, but I'm not one of those who has to have the "latest and greatest".

I think you are talking about S20fe, which is different from S20, S20 has 12G ram
You're right. Their naming scheme is confusing sometimes.

Just sold mine for 440 unlocked version and went back to my OnePlus 7t. Much smoother - no bloatware (yes I disabled the bloatware on the s20) still 7t is smoother

I was about to get this, then I remembered they removed the Micro SD slot. This thing is useless with 128gb of storage.

I have this phone and I hate it for the following reasons:

888 POS - It literally does not matter what refresh rate this phone claims, as it immediately throttles after 10 seconds of use. I have distinct moments in the day where I remark "wow, that's pretty smooth" when the phone actually gets up to its 120 hz operations, every other waking moment it is stuttering like it's three generations old.

Under-screen fingerprint reader - I always use tempered glass screen protectors, and the under screen reader does not work with it. With COVID and masks, that means I am punching in a pin every time I use my phone.

Camera - I have my photos set to be at above average quality, and the pictures are very slow to acquire and often blurry. Honestly my Pixel 3A camera felt more responsive and took more reliably decent pictures.

The _only_ step up that I felt in going from my 3A to this phone was the lack of chin and forehead on the main screen, giving more screen real estate.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely skip this and look at something else to replace my Pixel 2 XL. Thx!

Need a deal like this for the 21 ultra. I have an s10+ but I'm not trading it for a couple hundred bucks trade in. I'd rather keep it as a back up. I have a 1st gen se and a lg v20 but thats all I'm willing to fork up.

Second this but also don't forget how AWFULLY SLOW the S21 charges compared to pixel 3a. I traded in my 3a for this phone because it was free over 24 mo w/tmo. I would not have paid more than $200-300 for this device.

Unfortunately, this is a chronic problem with Samsung - great cutting edge (atleast when released) hardware with a poorly implemented software side that holds back the phone. Pixel's seem to have the opposite issue.

They've lost their way for a few years now. Last good one was the 10 series.
