Seems like a good price if you're in the market for a Note 20. I'm looking for a deal on the Ultra at the moment.

Edit- my comparison is actually between S22 ultra vs Note 20 ultra. I realized it after I posted lol.

It is better but not that much better. Camera for example is better on s22 with 100× zoom vs 50× on Note 20. Normal picture quality maybe slightly better on s22 I'd say. Other than that you won't really much difference for daily use. Note 20 camera is a little weird with it quite a bit raised from the back, so even with a case the camera might be a little exposed to potential damage/scratches from drops. Other than that s22 is essentially a Note phone with built in stylus. I have been using Notes since Note 5 I think and this is the first time I switched to S series. But even though it's called S-series, it is essentially Note. In truth, what they killed off is the S-series and changed the name of Note to S series which is weird. Maybe it's because of marketing reason since S-series used to outsell notes.

Looks like this supports eSIM for T-mobile (and maybe Verizon).
https://www.androidpolice.com/sam...n-verizon/

Anyone confirm this for T-mobile? If so, then I'm in as I need a Dual SIM phone (work and personal numbers).
Esim works on my Note 20 ultra on Mint network (therefore should be working on T-Mobile as well)

Same.

Cant decide whether to wait for a Renewed Premium one in the bronze color that I want from Amazon or just grab one from eBay.

I would have bought 10 spares if this was the Ultra.

N20 Ultra is the last legendary phone.

I haven't had a Samsung since S8+. What's the life expectancy on this? Like security updates.

Do you think the S22 Ultra is that much better than the Note 20 Ultra? I currently have a T-mobile LG V60 Dual Screen & A Samsung Tab S6. Do you think there is any need to upgrade? I always liked the Note Phones & Always wanted one but never had one.
Did the switch recently and the S22U has notably better camera(s), while being also faster. It also has the same S-Pen functionality as the Note 10/20/20U, so you don't lose much in this regard.

On the cons for the S22U is that it doesn't have SD slot and battery life is meh, but it is plausible that the next note might also lack an SD...

They rumor that the S23 SoC will improve on battery life.

Ugh, bought 2 last week for my parents and of course it goes down in price. Typical Amazon won't give you the price difference so I try to order replacement devices and will only let me order one more. Looks like you can select up to a qty of 3 and since I already have 2, I can only order 1 more. I even have returns initiated for the original 2.

Yeah, that's where I'm heading. I've already tried chat & phone and the reps are "confused as to why I can't place an order for another one". They keep telling me to try to place the order again later and blame it on site issues.

You can get new open box 22 ultra for about $500 in eBay
I should've specified, I'm looking for a Note 20 Ultra deal. The extra SD slot is a big deal for my usage.
