    No problem on my phone but it does pop up everytime asking me what to use to complete the action, I get SecSoundPicker and ES File Explorer Pro, I pick SecSoundPicker and it's fine to change. Maybe try installing the free version of ES File Explorer to force the UI to pick the right app.

    for those who has not got it yet and looking it buy it in one go, the cheapest option is port your number over to Vodafone in CPW, ended up paying only 1139euro with a 20e top up voucher. Free Lycamobile sim are everywhere fyi

    And just confirming the Vodafone one is still SIM unlocked? No Vodafone branding?

    This is getting hard to resist.

    Can anyone else confirm a potential issue I noticed.

    It might be my eyes playing tricks on me.

    Scrolling a site normally is perfectly smooth. However, if I use the s-pen to scroll, and I mean a quick flick up or down. It feels like a big drop is frames.

    Wondering if that is a bug or something..

    How did you get this? If I try the same on the Carphone Warehouse website, it's looking like €1239.99.

    How are people finding the battery life? Just looking at the tests on GSM Arena, the Note 20 Ultra is back to Note 8 levels of battery life, which wasn't good at all. I was happy going from 8 to 9 for battery life alone, it was definitely noticeable.

    would you not just move to Gomo....30 day rolling contract for €12.99 ...most if not all PAYG options are at least that.

    I'm finding it very poor so far but I often find phones take some time to settle down but I've had to top up every day so far

    For me the Note 10+ had power left at the end of the day. Note 20 Ultra often needs a top up. So far I'm not impressed.

    I am on Virgin 15e plan at the moment, they're pretty good so I guess I will just stick with them for another while. Only "moving" to Vodafone from a Lycamobile sim card to avail that 100e porting number offer.

    Sounds about right. GSM Arena has it:

    Note 8: 89 hours
    Note 9: 97 hours
    Note 10+: 107 hours
    Note 20 Ultra: 88 hours

    I'm not entirely sure what their resolution/refresh rate was set to, though. Must be tough going from a Note 10+ to Note 20 Ultra.

    After a week and a half of use I'm only down max 10% compared to the Note 10 plus 5G.
    I know the battery is slightly bigger but I'm using the 120hz adaptive setting all the time.

    Mine definitely does not need a top up at the end of the day... but i have it at full resolution instead of 120 HZ, and mine is the Snapdragon version. If that makes any difference.

    Where did you get the SD version from, and how much did it cost?

    Battery life is awful. By 5pm mine is normally down to 15% odd, its impossible to run a business with such bad battery life.

    To be honest I think it's far to early to be making that judgement. It needs at least 2-3 weeks to bed in and learn your patterns. The note 10+ was like this for me last year. You're probably using it much more now too as it's new. Not saying this has better or worse yet, I'm just saying I'll reserve judgement for now.

    Here's my pattern. I buy a phone and i use it all day, every day. Messages, calls, emails, social media, listening to music etc. I run my business from my phone.

    If by 3pm it needs to be charged, i can't see me keeping it too long.

    Re: Battery
    Don't find it that bad TBH, once its had its scan of media, usage patterns etc.....not as solid as the S20 Ultra say, but can get through the day without much trouble. Say down to 30%, lower if in poor signal areas.
    All down to what you use it for I suppose and what kind of apps are always in the background, but I wouldn't consider it a major issue, especially with the charging speeds and options available these days.
