Hi!
As you saw from my question I am wondering whether it's worth upgrading to S9+ from S7 edge or should I wait for the Note 9 or even S10? What do you think?
Also.. Will there be good development on this device? :fingers-crossed:

Well it was well worth going from my s7 edge to s8 plus so yes of course going to s9 plus is worth it.
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
i'll be upgrading to the s9+ from the s7e, mostly because my plan runs out conveniently on the 15th.
i'm not as pumped by the actual phone yet, but the size, screen and 6gb RAM and battery bump in the s9+ looks good and it will be great... until March 15th in 2020 when i'll get the Note 12 / T2 / S11 Ultra, whatever that flagship is.
I had thought about the iPhone X/ Razer phone, and in an ideal world, i'd get either one instead, but the razer is not available locally and getting updates or repair/support for grey market phones is abominable in ... Australia.
(And, i'm not really invested in apple tech, despite having a now 5 year old ipad, and an iphone 4 that technically still works ... and basically everyone i know, has iPhone or Samsung)
s9 arrives later in the week, the s7 edge is still a perfectly great phone, until my daughter smashed it.
any excuse to get a new gadget.
Rom advice? I see Alexandr is makiung dev base, may stick with that stock feel, yet the freedom to use magisk modules. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
S7 and S9 are great ,but i prefer the S9 .
It's all worth it .
Hi All. I recently got a Note 10+ 5G, N976B. I'm in the EU. How does this model do in terms of updates? How far are we behind the regular N975F!?). One UI 2.1 may be nice to have Thanks.
Yep - it's invariably later. Keep an eye on the main thread where we put release notifications.

Just received and installed the OTA. In terms of updates, I'd say the N976B on par with the N975F
Interesting, no May 2020 patch for GN 976B. Two weeks behind at least. Wondering if Samsung is neglecting 5G devices...
nope that's just the way it is, I run a rom for both 5F and 6B variants of the plus
5g is just 2 weeks later and that's all lol that's just the way its always been on this device
Dear All,
I have created this thread because it is perfect to have Snapdragon 865 processor on the Samsung so called "flagship" phone here in Europe.
Also with this Snapdragon chipset for EU market we have also warranty and service, because the phone is designated for our region.
Feel free to comment, add home screen screenshots or post issues or feedbacks about this phone.
Also, you can add on this thread any useful information about any OneUI 3.0 beta or Android 11 Beta for this device.
Thanks and cheers.
i just placed the order for S20 FE 5g Mystic White Snapdragon 865 with 6GB RAM.
And I am returning the Note20Ultra Exynos 990 model because i get no more than 4hrs SoT no matter what i do.
I chosed the performance and battery instead of S-Pen.
Cheers

from the consumer point of view, maybe Samsung will hear us saying the following:
make Fan Edition to every flasgship which they will launch from now on
launch this Fan Edition variant along with the flagship series, no later
make the Fan Edition with the Snapdragon for 5G regions includin Europe, as they did with the S20 FE
add by default 8GB RAM and 128GB space along with eSIM
also every Fan Edition version to have flat screen
How is the battery on the 5G/865 version?
4h30m SoT with 38% battery remaining, at first charge since out of the box and counting. so happy
still learning pattern.
S20FE Snapdragon 865 version EU.
Question to those with the 865 EU version, do you have automatic call recording option built in?

That's really weird because the S20 line has call recording on the EU variants... Why did they remove it for the FE?

Would you mind sharing what you removed/disabled?
As in debloating... that would be helpful to others as well
Thanks in advance!

Here you go, its a list i collected from several places, credits go to them whoever deserve it (been a while to remember where it came from).
i have used this on my Galaxy s10e and S20 FE 5G, all with no problems
removes all google stuff while keeping play store intact
removes all samsung stuff while keeping Samsung DeX intact
removes some additional stuff like facebook/spotify/netflix etc etc
the [DEBLOAT] ofc does the debloating
the [BLOAT] restores everything again

That is not true.
Here in germany no newer Samsung device has the call recording option as it is illegal here to record calls without permission of the other side.
It can only be enabled with a CSC change to INS.
Anyone know Can I flash Hong Kong S20 FE 5G (G9810) to the EU S20 FE 5G, they both run on Snapdragon 865

Hi, I want to update my 6T.
I don't know which one is better, OP 9Pro or S21 Ultra?
What do yo guys think?
Why I like OP 9 Pro?
- Snapdragon 888
- Thinner
- It comes with super charger
- Lighter
Why I like Samsung S21 Ultra?
- Cheaper (Exynos versión $877 12gb - 256Gb) divided at 9 monthly fees without interest.
- Better camera
Which one will you buy if they were at the same price?
Do you know if Samsung launch faster updates than OP or is it the opposite?
Thanks and sorry for my english
I had both in my cart and chose 9pro. I paid 800 usf for it. The s21 ultra is 1200 usd. The 9 pro has the same processor and everyone talked crap about the camera, but I think it's pretty good. They have same 5g processor. Samsung has micro sd slot which I got away from years ago. Samsungs touchwiz is something I don't care for after having 2 phones a s7edge and a note 10 very laggy(uses a lot of resources). If you want the best camera on a phone buy a nokia or Google phone.
I have also owned a 6t and 7tpro mclaren version phones.
At the current prices, I'd take the S21 Ultra. Having used both Samsung and OnePlus phones, I think Samsung provides a more polished product. I'm not saying that the OnePlus 9 Pro is a bad phone, but it doesn't seem like a good value compared to the competition at the moment. Heck, a brand new OnePlus 8 Pro is $599 through OnePlus right now and has virtually all the same qualities. The reports of overheating and unstable software don't help the 9 Pro either. If it gets a discounted price in the coming months, then it may be a more compelling option.
I'd probably take the Ultra. It's a better device all around, but to me it's a bit TOO big. Updates will be faster with the Ultra, Samsung has consistently been putting out monthly updates since the S10. The device will also be supported longer, if you keep your phones for a few years.
OP 9 pro. In my country Samsung sells s21 ultra with exynos processors So no thanks.. If it would have snapdragon I would've choosen s21 ultra
The main complaint about the Exynos is that it gets hotter. Well, the OP9 Pro overheats anyways, so there's no real difference. Oh, and people complain about the Exynos being 0.0xxx% slower, like they could actually feel the difference.

Yeah I hear the exynos is just about as good as this year's 888 and it's almost impossible to tell the difference.

I haven't had any problems with overheating of the OnePlus 9 pro yet. In what situations should this happen?
Both the Exynos and SD888 run hot and throttle. Here is a pretty good breakdown and comparison of the 2 chips: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16463/snapdragon-888-vs-exynos-2100-galaxy-s21-ultra
More worrisome for the Exynos is its weird clock behaviour, with the new chip really struggling in maintaining its peak frequencies other than for very brief moments – the Snapdragon 888’s X1 core had no such issues. My Exynos S21 Ultra chip bin was quite terrible here, but the better silicon on my second S21 doesn’t improve things too much either.

Basically, the Exynos can run as well as the SD888 in terms of peak performance, but that's partially because Samsung is running it overclocked and it gets HOT. Yes, the SD888 gets hot and throttles, but the Exynos gets hotter sooner, drains battery, and the GPU just sucks (and equally power hungry).
Thanks to everybody for your help. I've decided by S21 Ultra because of the price. Here un Argentina i can get it for less money.
I'm a Oneplus follower but this time, my wallet choose.
As a person that has owned an S21 Ultra since it was launched in the USA, I would choose the OP 9 Pro. I have just ordered one through tmobile and can't wait!
Personally, the S21 Ultra was primarily used for youtube vanced, browsing, and as a business cell. I highly value the software and prefer OP's Oxygen OS over OneUI, hence why I'm replacing the S21 Ultra.
Both phones are great and you can't go wrong with either, but software matters the most to me and I didn't think I'd miss OOS as much as I have.
I know OP already made the decision.
Here in the US the OnePlus is cheaper.
I found a mint 9 Pro for $900 with the original receipt and unused buds.
The S21 ultra is about $1000. But can't be rooted unless I spend $150 for a bootloader unlock. That makes it more than $1300 because I have to pay tax on the phone.
Too rich for my blood.
Samsung with Exynox, NO !
Samsung full of Bloatware! Bleah! Oxygen is one of the cleanest Android OS.
I saw many reviews about camera with S21ultra & OnePlu 9 pro. S21 is better, but not by a lot.
I prefer the the OnePlus here in the usa and the Global 7pro, 8pro, 9pro have worked out well for me with T-Mobile!
Actually I prefer the camera of the OP9 Pro over the Mi11 Ultra and the S21 Ultra. The other two might be better for you if you need 10x Zoom very often.
OS and updates? Samsung has quick updates as well, but Oxygen OS from OnePlus is just so clean and close to stock imo. Xiaomis MIUI is pretty good as well - though I had so many bugs on my mi10 pro which haven't been fixed. And they don't update that often or the OTA doesn't work that well - I was on October 2020's android security version until April 2021.
Charging and battery: OnePlus and Xiaomi charge much faster than Samsung. Battery life is probably really close between those 3.
Rooting the Samsung will break Knox with all it's downsides. A lot depends on your preferences but I would go with the OnePlus.

Depends. Are you an Android lover or a nonce. ?
In my country
S21U no warranty imported Snap888 (256GB not 128GB) = 1,014 USD
S21U retail 1yr warranty Exynos = 826 USD
OP9P no warranty imported RAM8/256GB = 839 USD
OP9P retail soon (nearly into the market)

9 pro over exynos s21U. Coz exynos sux, oneui is another meh. software is pretty meh on samsung after android 11. If you getting sd s21U then maibe. If you more concerned on the camera than anything else then go for samsung
Don't Leave out the charging speed.
50w wireless.., not many phones does that with cable plug in.
65w cable charging, is even faster. Awesome.
Hello guys. Is one ui beta already up for galaxy s20 series. I have s20+ BGL version that was csc changed to BTU(UK) and I don't have any notification for joining beta program in members. How can I join, and if there any beta software for 20+?
I don't think it's released yet for the s20 series I have an s20 ultra 5G myself and I'm keeping a close eye on it hopefully soon
Sadly,Yeah. I found and article that provides download files for the betta and the last is for 21 series on 30 August. So we wish its comes out before Christmas.
