    It's a great phone. Absolutely love it. Exynos chip and all. Battery life may not be as good as the SnapDragon variant but I'm always close to a charger (if i need it) so it doesn't bother me.

    I think I read somewhere it was removed with Android 11.

    Good to hear they actually got it to GLS anyway, I wasn't expecting that.

    I ordered the 22nd so might get mine this side of Christmas or I could have missed the batch yours was in and be waiting another while.

    Just installed the One UI 3.0, Android 11 update.

    I had been using Nice Lock to change the pull down menu colour from the standard blue to red, this now appears to be gone and I can't seem to see another way to change it from that ugly blue.

    Seems to be a good few on Adverts for E619 from phone shops in Dublin city center. Are these a good deal or best to be avoided? Any other recommendations where to buy for around this price would be really appreciated.

    Considering getting an S20 on upgrade from Vodafone. Works out at 300 quid. Would I better off waiting for the S21? Past experience suggests the tight ***** wont drop the price that quickly and I need a new phone as I ****ed my old one.

    How many people on here have had the back camera lens break for no reason?

    It happened to me when the phone was in my pocket with nothing else in there.

    A perfect circular hole right at the lens.

    It seems to be a common issue but Samsung are not admitting any fault.

    Here's a link to the forum discussing it.
    Over 60 pages but nothing wrong with the phone according to Samsung.

    I had to get mine fixed and pay for it myself.

    €60 to replace the lens cover but there is still dust inside the new lens cover.
    The repair shop have advised the next repair will be €120 and they would replace the entire back glass.
