@Boem Boem have you ever used 120hz? also at 6.2" don't tell me you can actually tell the difference, and if your so set on 60hz I personally think that you should get the s10 at that discounted price.

[@zex450]

@sneef I will also get the S20+ and i'll use QHD+ 60Hz most of the time. 120Hz is just an option that may come in handy sometimes, but I prefer a sharper display over high refresh rate. I'm getting the phone because of improved color accuracy in general, brand new camera sensors, super stady OIS and other improvements. Switching from a standard Galaxy S9.

[@zex450]

@sneef It's all about the screen size and ppi. I can see the difference between FHD+ and QHD+ on a standard S9 which is 5.8". At 6.7" the difference would be bigger. I know how massive of a difference is between 60 and 120Hz, I just don't like to drain my battery fast for basically nothing, because I don't use my phone for gaming that much, besides, you can even configure certain apps to run at 120Hz and use the phone regulary at 60Hz in apps that don't need 120Hz.

[@Nothing78787]

Maybe

[@mobiscrub]

Qhd is not really required buddy. The difference between fhd and qhd is not very obvious but it would drain battery. 120Hz has an obvious benefit. Having said that, 60 fps qhd will give you slightly better battery life but not significantly better

[@cloudstrife346]

I bought my mom a Samsung phone two months back and within a week it started to battery drain because she complained that she just charged it and ten minutes later she lost 2%. So I did an experiment by deactivating most of the Google apps besides Gmail and KZbin (I heard that causes it so I was curious) and as of now, two months later she never had a problem since. It might vary per person, but Google apps might be poorly optimized for Samsung phones and may cause battery drain from my experience.

Not significantly better... the S20 plus display is also larger so more screen and hence slightly more consumption too. So you might get about 10% more battery life - but that's about.

Can anybody tell me what is your estimated capacity on AccuBattery Health page? I bought the Galaxy S20 (Exynos) just 2 weeks ago and it shows me 3,728 mAh estimated and 3,880 design capacity. Health is %96 on a new phone and this bothers me. Because after I plugged off from the charger battery level drops to %99 in 5 mins and %97 in 20 mins of no use. In first 2 hours of very light use battery drops to %90 which is about %4 screen off use. After then it slows down and in the evening avarage screen off percentage is around %1,6-%1,9 Full battery estimates are: 6h 47 m screen on, 51h 29m screen off, 15h 48m combined use.

the battery life of this phone is not impressing, it's dissapointing honestly. I have a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro, which has a Snapdragon 855 and a 4000mA battery, it provides at least 7 hours of screeen on time. So, what's wrong with Samsung phones that they're unable to make the battery last longer ??? I was thinking about purchasing this S20 but with this battery results its non-sense... I prefer to keep the Xiaomi for some other 3-4 months and see what's in the marked then. Before the Xiaomi I owned a Galaxy S9, which had 3000mA battery and it sucked after 1 year 5 months of usage. If I disconnected it at 07:30am I had to charge it by 04:00pm in order to get enough juice until 11:00pm when I go to bed and plug it again. With the Xiaomi I had forgotten to plug it on the night and next day still have like 30% of battery, a quick charge of 45 minutes while having breakfast is enough for the rest of the day.
