Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2020 | 20 is the new 11 aka Press F for Headphone Jack
- Thread starter mreddie
- Start date
I'm hoping the trade-in program is very generous this time around. My S10+ is still solid enough to not warrant an upgrade, but given the right trade-in amount I might bite. If I get a $500-600 trade-in, i'll probably go up.
People dont realize there are still many lower priced phones from the likes of Asus, OnePlus, Google, and others, even Samsung like the A line with still some really nice specs and features.
Wifi Direct sharing? the thing that's been around since the Galaxy S6?
the other one isn't new either.
ben around a few years.
Google legit has nothing to say about Stadia at all. They could've easily announced Stadia support for the phone or at least a release window
I get you, totally, but really if you're not a professional, you can do with a mid range phone. I got my S10e for 400 euros (in a sale though) and it has all those things at practically 1/3rd of that price. These conferences are great at making it seem like everything they talked about in last years conference is worthless all of a sudden, but it isn't.
Plus Samsung mentioned Xbox streaming so that may have been awkward...or off the table entirely.
They did increase the trade-in prices from last year – $600 credit for either an S10 or S10+ (last year I got $550 for my S9+). There's no mention of free Galaxy Buds+ with any model, just "Samsung instant credit" (doesn't indicate whether the new Buds qualify) amounts of $100/$150/$200.

They're giving me 600 for the S10+ I got for 700 last year on prime day, and the S20 ultra is still 799 LOL
yeah Link Sharing has been around for a while too... Googling shows it as far back as the GS7
buds+ being preorder bonus only for the s20+ and ultra is such bullshit. The s20 is as expensive as the s10 was and i still got a preorder bonus for that.
Update us in five years with who's phone you'll be buying. I'll be real curious.
They probably don't want to run into the same issue as last year where they ran out of Galaxy Buds for the promo last year and ended up giving away credit anyway.They did increase the trade-in prices from last year – $600 credit for either an S10 or S10+ (last year I got $550 for my S9+).

5G is currently a joke, it's a shame they are using it as an excuse to jack up prices by $200 for each model. You either get 5G that's barely faster than 4G (t mobile) or fast 5G that has 0 building penetration and available outside in like 3 small areas in a major city like Houston.
Plus no headphone jack sucks. I have both wired and wireless earbuds and prefer the wired for music listening for better sound quality and don't have to worry about charging.
Definitely going to pass. I have no idea what phone I will be using in 2021. Going to keep my S10 for all of 2020. Might go back to Apple again if I'm giving up the headphone jack.

I feel like when you mention how much you paid for a phone, you should also state your monthly phone bill, since that's usually where the true cost of your phone is hidden.
I've looked at them all, and they all have issues for me. I get it - really. I had a OnePlus 5T and was extremely happy with it. Now that I'm forced to upgrade (it went through the laundry), I wanted 3 things: a better camera (I have a 1 year old daughter), wireless charging (I've had issues with the port on my last two phones) and waterproofing (laundry lol). But I also want to retain great battery life (I typically keep phones for years), a fingerprint sensor, and avoid an ugly notch or distracting cutout if I can. And I figured if I was buying a phone in 2020, I should probably get 5G (sub 6 and mmWave).
Even without the 5G, it's hard to find a phone that meets those requirements, even flagships.
Yeah, my wife has been waiting for these to get announced cause she needs a new phone. But, she will definitely end up wanting an S10 instead. Hopefully some good sales start popping up.
This feels like an american thing, i always find it bizarre how people talk about how they got their phone for free when in reality you are paying for it with your monthly payments.
You get $100 samsung bucks with a preorder which isn't nothing.
Link Sharing (the sharing via cloud service) isn't new. They upped the size limit to 5GB from 2GB though.
I mean, can you blame them when Sprint won't be around much longer?
Well, if you're willing to swing between carriers every 1-2 years you can pretty much swing a free phone via bill credits or BOGO deals.
Well, I can only speak for myself, but I've been pretty happy with Sony smartphones. On the better side for both speed and length of Android updates, a UI very close to stock Android with very little clutter and I personally liked most of their designs (though that's of course a personal preference). The cameras never were that good (kind of ironic for a Sony product), but eh, I never want to use my smartphone for serious photography anyway.
LG been off my radar last few years. Just read about the V60. Good to see how it stacks up when they reveal it. Hope they include that DAC goodness.
The only way I'm going to pounce on this is if there's a solid pre-order trade in bonus at T-Mobile. If not, I'll wait for a price drop or wait until next year's lineup.
I'm probably going to get the Buds+ though. I use wireless earbuds enough at work to take advantage of the battery capacity jump. And since my last pair was free, I won't feel bad with replacing them after just one year.

So if you don't care about the camera is the only real difference between the S20 Plus and Ultra the .2 inch screen size increase? Is there a power difference?
Blame Qualcomm, they are only selling the latest Snapdragon with a 5G modem built in. They don't really have a choice besides using the same CPU they used last year (in the US at least)
I mean they are offering the s20 and s20 5G, so idk.
Still cannot get over that price. The hell is this :S
You'll be done with a lot of brands in the future then
