    mmmm

    https://www.samsung.com/ie/smartphones/galaxy-note20/

    Pre orders now open....€999 for the note 20 model with 256 memory.

    Personally as a guy don't like the 'mystic gold' on any of the new kit announced today that is open for pre order or pre registration.

    I'd imagine more models will add to it, I don't know if I'd be able to go smaller than 512 for storage now, my phone has replaced USB keys for me at this stage

    I've owned every Galaxy Note except 1 and 4. This year, i'm more on the fence. The price tag has gotten maybe a little to rich for my blood. I'm a bit miffed there is no 16gb ram option. The colours are far less interesting this yr. Have some lingering doubts as to if they have actually resolved the camera issues, and there's a nasty rumour the Exynos version is substantially slower than the Snadpdragon verison.

    If i'm going to buy this, i think it's going to be an import version.

    They don't have 5G for Ireland yet either, last year I got mine from Microsoft UK, looks like it'll be the same again this year.

    €1,449 for the 5G 512 Ultra version, I think I'm worth that but I don't think Mrs. Clareman would agree

    I think they get beta versions before final release and they don't have full functionality, bit like shop demo models.

    When can we expect Vodafone to pick up on this and release pricing etc?

    Edit: apologies, today it would seem from their twitter.

    Three have Note 20 Ultra for 1239. Plus you can claim Buds Live worth 199.

    100+ cheaper than Samsung at 1349.

    Yeah but what plan are they locking you into to get that 'deal'.... any more than €12.99pm (Gomo) needs to be added on top.

    No, its prepay and unlocked hybrid sim. You can use any sim after buying inc Gomo. So it is the cheapest for the device with no plans attached.

    I'm really annoyed with Vodafone that they only have the 256gb version AND you can only pre-order as a new customer, not if you are upgrading... wtf...
    1st world problem I know :-)

    Are you sure Dan? Is this that Samsung don't lock the Note 20 Ultra or 3? Thanks.

    I think a lot of people who got the prepaid phones pre-order in the past (lots of p's there) got network unlocked and bloatware free phones

    Im interested in the trade in deal with samsung as I currently have note 10+. I previously did the deal with Samsung Ireland and had no issues but Samsung UK has a better deal for this phone currently.

    Anyone have issues with doing the trade in deal with UK? mainly the time limit to return?

    Big risk though I don't want to end up with a 3 locked Note Ultra 20!
    Am tempted by Vodafone's €750 on the 24 month €60 plan.

    The Note 10 Plus, S10 Plus, S20+ and Ultra were Hybrid dual sim and were never locked by any carrier.

    Note 20 Ultra is also the same its a dual sim Hybrid (2 sims or sim and micro sd).

    Samsung phones cost a tenner to unlock. But as its a dual sim Hybrid it wont be locked.

    Also just an FYI is 1219 on VF prepay with same buds live offer so 20 cheaper than 3.

    I'm 3 months away from end of 2 year contract and tempted to look at Note 20 Ultra. Will Vodafone consider allowing an early upgrade?
