Hi, I just got myself a Smooth 4, but when it's on, the gimbal (where the phone part is) just "falls" down halfway. I'm wondering if it's because of the weight or? Sorry as gimbal is a new thing for me.
Any gimbals that you guys use that works with Mate 20 X? TYIA
It probably due to the weight of mate 20x (230g) but smooth 4 support up to 210g. You should try using counterweight. Another option is Moza mini mi, it supported up to 300 gram and it can grip up to 92mm. Btw, how wide can the smooth 4 grip? I thought mate 20x wont fit.
Are the cameras on the 3 Samsung s20/ plus and the ultra all pretty much the same quality? Are is the camera on the Samsung CEO ultra way better than the CEO plus and the base model CEO device? I'm just wondering if it's worth spending the extra $ on the CEO ultra device. Basically is a camera on the s20 ultra way better than the base model s20 and s20 plus. Get somebody please let me know thanks in advance!!! I'm using the LG cup right now. Is the camera on the s20 plus s20 Ultra in the base model s20 way better than the v 60 LG device camera.

I like the camera, it has its limitations to take close-up photos, you can limit that by taking more distance and then zooming in, auto focus on the S20 Ultra is a bit restless, don't expect to take 1 photo there take several photos and pick the best ones out and tinker with snapseed until a good result is achieved for you, you are not familiar with taking and editing photos, 108 MP with the TOF sensor is perfect in certain situations, video recordings at 4 K and now the 21: 9 format is great, only manual, autofocus is unreliable !!. , in short, buy what you can handle, amateur? don't buy samsung!>
No, the S20 & S20+ crop into the sensor for the tele lens not an actual tele lens and the IQ from it is poor, the S20U is an actual tele lens. The UWA is similar in both, and the std lens is 108 mp vs 12mp the S20U takes a range of photos with the 108mp and combines them into a single 12mp photo, and when i compared the 12mp from my S20+ to my S20U the S20U is better detail wise.
I got a galaxy s21 ultra is it worth getting the z fold 3 or should I stick with my phone cause my s21 ultra has the Exynos 2100, Octa core in my country when the z fold 3 has the snapdragon processor
it's supposed to be the ultra premium phone but the features on a second thought, not so.

i will make it simple for you
you can throw $1800 ezz pzzy then get it
cameras are important to you? then stick with 21 period
you don't care about cam quality and want new experience like the folding the phone, big screen then get it
apart from the 2 points there's is nothing new
i have a dslr with me, so i dont care much. apart from cam nothing to complain about fold 3. battery is about 5 to 6hrs sot
Hello everyone. I wanna buy S21 Ultra but its expensive at the moment, so after researching I thought why not go for the s20 ultra instead because its cheaper. It will still get updates for few years. I am a basic user, dont play games at all, but do care about display and camera. I recently used s10 and pixel 4 xl and i was blown away by the s10 display compared to pixel 4 xl. I want a great camera phone as well. But before pulling the trigger, I have few questions and would appreciate if they r answered satisfactorily;
1. Is s20 ultra (Snapdragon) worth it in 2021 over s21 ultra if you take into account the prices?
2. Is the S20 ultra way behind s21 ultra in the camera department?
Shall be grateful for the feedback.

The s20 ultra has been great for me in everything but camara. Not that its terrible but definetly not as good as it should be I believe there is a flaw with some camara hardware they used so it can never be fixed fully it some kind of light sensor they used although it has gotten a little better with software updates. The main issue I have is it is always trying to focus besides that it takes good photos you seee it more when your trying to take video. But as far as screen, memory, updates sd card slot I really do love this phone. I will definetly be happy when I finally upgrade and dont have these issues with the camara but I'm in no rush and for the s20 ultra being so cheap now I would say its worth it in 2021 unless you kind find a good deal on a s21.
Absolutely worth it. The camera focusing problem is annoying but if you're taking pictures it can easily be worked around by switching to pro mode and manual focus.
I love it and i think the camera is great, no foxusing problems here. Did you end up getting it??
I bought mine in excellent condition on ebay for $550 about 2 months ago. I honestly absolutely love thy phone. The only thing the s21 really has as advantages is the camera, variable refresh rate, and 120hz at full resolution and the latter two can be accomplished with the s20ultra with apps on this forum. Advantages of the s20 ultra are 45 watt quick charging and the SD card slot. The focusing is only on the main lens as far I've seen and that too is minimized when using 3rd party camera apps.
Thoughts on the S20 Plus? It doesn't have the camera focus issue from reviews research I've read! I will be coming from a dead Galaxy S5 now. I'm on Verizon still but may switch carriers Idk yet.
I'm very happy with the vzw s20+ I picked up recently off ebay. Key is finding one with bit 1 firmware, if you want to bootloader unlock /root.
Solid performance, and having microSD support is a huge plus for me.
I love everything about my S20 Ultra (G988U - Snapdragon), except for 2 things: the camera and presence of only one SIM (I thought there would be one physical and one e-SIM slot, appeared to be only one physical). Apart from focusing issue mentioned above, the video quality in general and especially in low light conditions is below par (my previous phone S8 was doing better) and definitely worse than something you expect from a phone which costed me USD 1200.
The camera focusing is a real PITA. I pre-ordered mine for around 1,500 and it served me for a little over a year - just enough for the warranty to expire and few weeks back it just stopped charging. TBH, I was a fanboy of Samsung, but haven't had a single edition without "known issues" - the batteries fiasco of S7/Note 7, the screen issues on S9, the camera on S20+ .... but this 1500 phone nailed it for me ... not buying Samsung any more.
The charging issues on S20 are so common, that if you'll Google it - you'll find tons of references and "solutions" for this Samsung brain fungus :

- Galaxy won't charge
-Samsung Galaxy Not Charging? Here's The Fix! [All Models]
What's really annoying is how Samsung plays dumb on this and other issues (except the batteries recall fiasco). I took the phone to the authorized service center and it was obvious that they were well aware of the charging issues. The dude quickly booted the phone into recovery mode and then the phone came up. It's just won't hold the charge at all and turns off in a minute. I left the phone in the repair center and they called me back in two hours. Samsung tech could not tell me what's wrong with it (?!!) and offered a mobo swap for a modest ... $500.
And here are other possible solutions :
1) charging port or wireless sensor
2) assembly connector
I'd say - stay clear of Samsung, unless you are willing to play the lottery with these dishonest or incompetent guys.
I changed from s20 ultra to s21 plus now as the ultra screen suddenly went black and does not come up, yet to take it to a service center...
But samsung is not resolving all issues on time to retain its customer base ... Most of the iphone terms are 4-5 years though ... Lets see if the s21 plus lasts long
Hi good folks!
I want to upgrade from a note8 to a new phone but the more I read the more questions I have. I have chosen to settle for the 20 line because of the card slot and s21 and s22 don't have it. Apart the SD card slot, I need a long sot and great caméras (i travel à lot)
Anyway I have a couple of questions and I hope you'll be able to answer them! Thank you!
1. The note20 ultra has a variable refresh rate. Does it mean it can do 1440p at a vrr of 45 to 120hz? And it also means the sot lasts longer? S20 ultra can do only 120hz at FHD but no 1440p?
2. The s20 ultra has a bigger battery and in most of the tests the sot is between 10 and 13 hours. Compared to the note20u at 7 to 10. Is that what you've seen also? How's your SOT?
3. Cameras. The main camera picture quality is almost the same but I wanted to talk about selfies. I think the s20u has better selfies than the note. Is that true? I've heard also issues with the Autofocus in the s20 ultra, was this fixed or is Note20u still better in that area?
4. Can you record calls? It's a very useful and important feature to me.
Which one would you choose? Or maybe I should go with another phone like the Xperia 1 Mk. 3? Or maybe the v60?
