    Had you removed the original screen protector that came fitted on the S10+ ?
    If not it might only be a scratch on the protector.
    The trade-in for the plus should get more, but as I ,mentioned earlier in this thread.... I'd love for Samsung to explain the logic there.

    Yeah it fell apart on me after a few months, the scratch is on the screen itself. Doesn't impact usability but I doubt Samsung would accept it as it is visible when the phone isn't in use.

    Pretty sure I'll be getting the full trade in price. I still have the protector on and it's only in use since November. Happy days.

    i know this is probably a stupid question ... but if i'm still in contract with eir with my s10 ..is it then locked to them? can I just trade it in for the s20?

    The phone is not locked to eir,yes you can trade it in with Samsung to get the latest model,but you will still be in contract with eir for your phone bill.

    Actually just on that topic, since dual SIM phones have to be sold network unlocked by default do they still come with network specific software, i.e. splash screen on boot, bloat apps etc?

    I currently have a Huawei mate 20 pro, I'm presuming the p40 pro won't be released in Ireland, and I don't like apple products which leave me looking at the s20.

    Would the s20 be much of an upgrade over the mate 20?

    Cheers

    Here's a spec comparison, see if that helps you.

    Typically yes. You can flash it to stock using oden. Doesn't affect warranty or knox seal.

    so...the true optical lens on the s20 ultra is 4x which is upgraded to 10x hybrid optical via software....and seemingly the regular s20 3x hybrid optical has no true optical element at all, its 1x upgraded via software to a 3x hybrid optical......this isn't me saying it in a negative way, i have full faith in samsung that the 10x hybrid optical will be amazing, very impressive what can be done via software if it is....looking forward to reviews of the camera.....wonder how battery life holds up, big as it is it's powering a lot.

    Preordered the S20+. I think the S20 Ultra would be too big for me

    I can't make my mind up wether to go for the + or ultra, I'm not sure if the extra cost is worth it.

    Would the better camera influence your decision?

    Yes it would, and so would the larger battery, however it is the size that bothers me, I have a mate 20 pro and it the perfect size for me, even the s20+ is slightly larger than my mate 20, the ultra is larger again.

    I'm getting the ultra. The case arrived already and dropped my current s10 plus into it. It's a tiny difference. One you'd be hard set to actually notice.

    Where did the order the case Reati?

    I have an S10+ as my current phone and would love the Ultra. The size was putting me off. The battery life and camera were what attracted me.

    The ultra is basically a 7" tablet you can make phone calls with.

    Thinking of preordering the S20+ the Ultra is just a little too big for me i think.

    One question is anyone getting this through flexi-fi? It's approximately €75 a month for 12 months (and i think another tenner for the order) for €879 value. I have a Samsung S8+ in good nick to trade in so i'm seriously tempted. S8+ starting to show its age particularly in regards to the battery.

    I went with the S20+. Upgrading from the S10 so quite a big jump in size. Giving it a day or two useage to trial before deciding whether I will keep it or return it.

    I've pre-ordered the S20 Ultra using Flex-Fi. Quick and painless process and approved within an hour

    So it was a toss up between the ultra and the +, just ordered the ultra, hopefully the size won't be a problem.

    What protective cases have you bought?

    Does anyone know if the s20 ultra is dual SIM or single sim? I never thought of asking when ordering.

    As far as I know they are dual sim, I read it somewhere. Just can't remember the source.
