    The new S20 FE 5G is Snapdragon variant.

    Interesting. From a quick glance everything else (screen, camera etc.) is just a little bit worse than the other models though.

    You'd pick up a brand new S20 for around 650...don't know why anyone would pick the FE over it

    I picked up an S20 + 5g dual sim on ebay from a UK seller for 595 euro last week. Just set it up yesterday. Seems like a great phone but not a mega jump from my Huawei Mate 20 Pro, although that was an exceptional phone. Screen has a couple of tiny scratches but I can't tell if there's a preinstalled screen protector or not. It also came with the official LED cover. It's pretty cool if a little gimmicky.

    One great feature that I'll hopefully get to use once this covid sh1t show is over is the esim. You can download apps from the play store to shop for the best data deals from around the world and then install them on the esim, e.g. they have USA plans for 10gb for 30 days etc. and you don't have to fiddle around with local sims or anything. You can obviously keep your normal sim running as well.

    Where are the best deals at the moment on an S20+ 5G?

    Which model number(s) should I look for - seems to be quite a few and I want to make sure it works with Three Ireland.

    I would consider an FE too if there was a saving.

    I have been looking at eGlobal etc but no idea which model works here.

    Purchased an s20 plus on wonda mobile, I know they do the snapdragon s20 version also for a good price. Will give an update when it arrives.

    Anyone think there will be a drop in the S20 (5g variant) for black friday/cyber monday?
    Its at a relatively low price already on eglobal, but i would be willing to hold out for another month if there was going to be an expected drop.

    What is eglobal usually like for black friday/cyber monday?

    I was tempted to go this route but chickened out beacuse the warranty is outside the EU .

    What did it cost you ?

    They are reliable enough to deal with from what I understand.

    837 all in. I assume they are third party companies that can do repairs.

    I was using my mobile hotspot and got a regular phone call. The 4G dropped down to H+ , which is 3G I guess?

    But then all mobile data suddenly just went. There was nothing on the notification bar, not even 1G. Is this normal? Shouldn't it stay at at least 3G during a call?

    Samsung password manager is extremely handy. However for the millionth time I've gone to a website on my laptop and can't remember the password because I signed up on my phone.

    Doing the 'forgot password' thing is getting boring.

    Does anybody here use LastPass or some other password manager instead of Samsung's built in one? How is it? Does it work with all your apps across your devices?

    Bitwarden is excellent. Open source and works across platforms.

    My camera screen at the back of my phone cracked today. The phone has been in an otterbox defender from day one.
    I've seen quotes as high as €400 to get the camera screen replaced.

    I do not have the phone insured and Samsung say its not covered by the warrenty (even though there are thousands of people with the same complaint).

    Has anyone here had to have the camera screen replaced.

    If so where did you get it done and how much?

    Anyone else having issues with the finger print scanner the last few days?

    Mine is basically unusable, I'm lucky if it works after 3 tries ,more often I have to enter the pin.

    No issues here. Are you using your own screen protector? Or the factory applied one? Have you tried resetting your prints and setting it up again.

    Anyone here order the S20+ 5g from eglobal for 630? All it says is G986 model, can't tell if it's Snapdragon or exynos, it can be either depending on whatever letters after. Just wondering as I ordered it today and hoping it might be snapdragon, thanks

    Getting a moisture detected message for a week now without ever getting the phone wet.

    What are my chances of getting a repair/replacement?


    I ordered direct from Samsung. Will they need me to give the phone then get a replacement or will I get one sent out turn I have to send the broken phone? As I think I remember reading here that they send one out to you?

    Have you tried cleaning out the port? Very gently with a tooth pick, and see if you can get a can of compressed air.
