Im interesting in buying the S21 Ultra here in Australia but am wondering if it supports 5G on both the physical sim and esim at the same time? Similar to what the iPhone 12 and Pixel 5 can now do.

I won't be able to answer your question in particular but I can take it step prior...Is there really a need for 5G? Unless you use your phone as the only device for 4K media consumption - YouTube @ 4K, Netflix @ 4K etc I really don't see the need for 5G. Your notifications aren't going to be any faster on 5G than on 4G FWIW.
Yes, 5G is a nice to have but not a deal breaker. Besides, if you are really into 4K video, then a 6.8 inch screen won't do any justice. You'll a screen where the decimal point is moved to the right - 68 inches!

As I always say, never judge from your own point of view, I learnt it here on XDA quite a while ago ^^.
In my case, 5G is useful so I can use the phone as hotspot for remote work. Makes a noticeable difference.
Like you otherwise, I do not consume any media content, and not sure if there would anything to notice in regard to performances.

I'm really tempted to order the Samsung S10 5G now from Verizon as it has just about everything I could hope for. Huge screen, huge battery (largest yet), great cameras, faster charging, etc. My only qualm is that the upcoming Note 10 5G may have 2 things I'm willing to pay for. That's UFS 3.0 and hopefully a 12GB of RAM option. I highly doubt that the Note 10 is going to have a bigger battery or even better Camera's. I also know that the next gen Snapdragon (865) that combines 2g to 5g with the X55 and power saving doesn't come out till early 2020 so there isn't too much to look forward to in the Note 10 5G with processing power. I know the Fold had UFS 3.0 and 12GB of RAM.
So what are the chances of the Note 10 getting UFS 3.0 and a 12GB variant?
Are any of you waiting for the same reasons?
What's your thoughts?
Appreciate your time.
Hope you got the s10 5G, either way, they're practically same phone, same specs, note 10 has its stylus, but the s10 5G has better battery, but the note 10 is cheaper

Note 10 is cheaper? It's not available on Note 10 first of all, only on Note 10+. Battery is 45W fast charging and 20W wireless, so 200 mAh less but will charge faster, not sure it's "better". Finally 12GB RAM and SD card expansion, NOT the same phone at all.
I have the S10 5G. Pre-ordered the Note 10+ 5G. Totally don't know what to do. I feel the only real advantage for my S10 is the headphone jack I never use. Battery is great, but I don't have an issue charging throughout the day, so I'm good with a touch smaller. I think the 12GB of RAM in the Note is huge. I understand the Note's stereo speakers kill the S10s. Looking for a video review from someone, haven't seen anything yet.

How is it an advantage if you never use it? Agree with the 12GB of RAM along with SD card expansion.....
I hope Sam gives us users a TOF face unlock at some point. Also the updated DeX I'm sure someone will rip it, and be able to install in the s105G along with the gaming streaming
Only thing about the new note is what 5g chip they decide to put in it. There is no 5g in my area I'm sure there wont be for sometime. I got this phone for the bigger screen mostly along with the TOF on the front.
I do use my 3.5 jack all the time. I do wish it had an SD card.
I wish there was a ribbin cable that connected to usb-c with a female input for charging. That way you could just hide a SD card inside your case. I looked all over the net no one has ever made such a thing.

256gig of memory space isnt enough? i do like the note 10's 12gig ram though, then again i do feel its an overkill!, im looking forward to its worldwide release, i wont buy it, just know that hackers would strip its 3D scan features so the s10 5G can use it, sammy wouldnt put out an update, im sure of this
Byers regret
I currently have the S10 5g , the Verizon Version however i am using it on Xfinity Mobile and it is not going well at all. I really am frustrated with Samsung for making the 5g so hard to use on any network.
I dont care about 5g speeds but i love the screen size and battery life on the 5g, plus i think the 5g camera is the best of all the models.
I recently placed a preorder for the note 10 512gb and i was all excited about the phone but once i got it, the excitement faded away within 2 days. The note 10 has terrible battery life and it just simply reminded
me of my 5g with an s pen so i returned it.
I am back to the 5g but it is quite challenging trying to get this device to work properly on xfinity mobile. The xfinity sim will work but the APN settings are not correct and cannot be changed and because of this,
mms attachments will not download. I have the 5g verizon 256gb version G977u and currently on update version G977UVR2YSHY. i would like to try the ATT firmware but i have not been successful in finding
any U2 Roms as the U1 roms always fail. I am a Newbie so any assistance would be appreciated as i love my 5g. Just wish it was the 512gb model

Looks like this device is packing a punch, especially now snapdragon will finally hit the uk shores. Any ideas why to look at the s20 Ultra over this device?
Is it going up be possible to unlock the bootloader and install chain recovery and ROM in the Snapdragon version of this phone? From a quick look at the S20 section of this forum only the Exynos versions get custom development.

Nope, none. On a value-for-dollar basis, I think this phone trumps the Ultra hands down. In fact, I just cancelled an order for a Note20 Ultra, as I've realized that I don't need, and likely won't ever use, all those premium features that we pay so much for - this phone looks just right for the price to me.
Mine is shipped and I will get it tomorrow!
Not gonna lie, I'm now having second thoughts as a result of the optical fingerprint sensor and camera performance - not deal breakers for sure at this price point, but security and camera performance are top of my list of priorities, so those give me pause.
Got mine a bit ago. To be honest, i can't tell the difference between the S20 FE and the Note 20 I have been using while waiting for it to arrive.
The S20 FE doesn't have the video enhancer setting, which may or may not make a difference. But also I noted in a super quick camera test, that the Note 20 looked better at 3x zoom than the S20 FE did. I would have thought the S20 would have looked better there.

Fingerprint sensor works fine. It's as fast as the sensor on my Huawei P30 Pro and so far hasn't failed to read my fingerprint.

Would you be able to check if the 40W SuperCharger from your P30 Pro works with the S20 FE at 25W?
I'm upgrading from a broken P30 and it would be cool if I didn't have to buy the 25W Samsung charger.
Cheers
My S20 FE 5G is coming today, really excited :victory:

It doesn't work unfortunately. Doesn't seem to be charging any faster than the standard charger.
I posted this in the A71 5G device section but no one seems to want to answer. I was looking through the video quality settings on my A71 and there doesn't seem to be a 4K 60fps option. If i'm not mistaken, the 765g is capable of 4k 60 and I know the camera hardware surely does so what's up with that?
According to this review, there is no 60fps option.
" The Galaxy A71 records videos up to 2160p resolution with the main snapper, the ultrawide, and even the selfie camera. Oddly enough, none does anything at 60fps." https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a71-review-2065p5.php

Yes I know there isn't one there I am just asking why there isn't one when the device supports it. Also that's for the 4g A71. Not the 5G. The 5G has a whole different chipset.

Yes I addressed this at the beginning of my original post because it seems like no one has the 5g variant because I've had that post up for like a month now and no one has said anything at all.

If you're not sure, the answer is no - only upgrade for clear improvements/performance gains - otherwise why would you upgrade?

there are dozens of videos on YouTube of the OnePlus 8T (newer than yours) up against S20FE and Pixel 4a etc. go watch a bus load of videos and you'll have a better idea. aside from that FE will have a newer processor, a memory card slot or dual SIM, but only you should decide if it's worth it.
remember there are a few versions of the FE and they are not all the same.

I agree - and I just upgraded to the S20 FE 5G. But I was coming from a Galaxy S9+, which is a year older than your 7 Pro. Even then, the S20 FE doesn't blow me away in comparison - I actually think the screen is nicer (and brighter in normal use) on the S9+, and I'm still getting used to the punch hole camera, and lack of a notification light. I bought it mainly for the increase in storage (as I use the SD Card slot for a second SIM, so can't add memory) and the 120 MHz display, faster processor etc. Even then, I don't really find it noticeably faster in normal use - as I mentioned in another post, it never ceases to amaze me just how much marketing departments and the media exaggerate each year's (real world) improvements. All of which is to say that phones have gotten so good - and have been for a few years now - that it makes no sense to upgrade until you either have to or there is a clear advantage to doing so.
Edit: Having done some more side-by-side comparison, the S20 FE 5G is noticeably faster of course, and the screen is fine. Plus, the battery life has been stellar. All-in-all, it's a great phone for the price - especially the 8GB/256GB 5G version.

You generally don't want your phones to charge really fast, it's extremely detrimental to battery's lifespan. 15W-25W is already overdoing it and should be the maximum for most people.
I rarely get this phone below 50% and then it's up to 75 again pretty quick. if you want your phone to charge faster turn off Wi-Fi, go into airplane mode or even better switch it off for 30 mins.

Hi, just ordered S10 ultra with exynos and now saw some comparison.bi thought it would just be speed difference but it seems exynos makes images worse. Had this been "patched" during the year or is the exynos image quality much worse? I bought in Sweden so no option for snapdragon
This is S21 thread, not S10

the only way to know if there is a difference would be to have the two phones in hand and to do your own tests, on the internet they sometimes found the SD sometimes the EX in front of nothing really clear

Exynos 2100 variant is not much worse, nor is it much better than its SD888 counterpart this year (unlike in previous iterations)
Breaking from tradition, this year they're pretty comparable, especially after all the updates and optimisation. Stick to Android 11 initially otherwise your opinion of the phone will tank really quickly.
However, the SD888 version does have an edge in gaming. If that is super, super important to you, it may be an issue. But otherwise, for day to day usage both are practically the same phone.
I think I might be looking at to many comparison videos right now one showed me closeup images of both and it looked like totally different phones. One was much more smudgy. I am hoping that we one day can get that warmer look at iphone produces on selfies, it just tints the images to a more pleasing yellow/red
Hopefully getting phone tomorrow for testing. I have a S9+ right now
Hi, the Exynos is definetly worse in image and video quality. The noise processing is very aggressive and the images are indeed smudgy. Go for the snapdragon without hesitation. Also, I am on the Android 12 update on my Exynos and the issue is still there. You can see a proper comparison here:

You're raising your concerns a bit late since you've already ordered the exynos device, right? Just because you're in Sweden it doesn't preclude you from buying the snapdragon variant, most retailers ship worldwide. I concure with @enigmaamit's advice, hold off on updating to Android 12, it's a hot mess. The only features you might miss are the MicroSD and 3.5 Jack.Enjoy your new phone, it's a big improvement over the S9+.
