Thread: Show us your impulse buy

A couple of weeks ago in what was probably a brandy induced rush of blood to the head, I pre ordered the new Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. Anyway, yesterday afternoon the beast arrived, along with a few freebies that went with pre ordering. From the reviews that I'd' read, I was expecting something of a monster in size terms, but not really. Is it big? Yes, but only a few millimetres larger than my S9+.

Anyway, I've got it partially set up, having transferred everything across from my old phone, and look forward to playing with the camera in the coming days/weeks. Photos are of it in the case that I ordered along with it.

^ that's a phone and a half!

Should take some amazing quality pictures and have a great screen to view them on too.

It's more like a camera with a phone attached

Nice. I nearly pre-ordered the s20. Decided to wait for this s8 to die. It does all I need really.

They have a new flip phone too I see.

Be nice to see your pics, they've always had great cameras. The zoom function on that should be great.

Like the way you stick all your apps in neat folders. That's my OCD too

^^^^ When I recently upgraded from a Samsung A5 to an S10+ the camera completely transformed my cooking.

You can look forward to some excellent food now!

I'm not a big fan of Samsung kit. Having said that, I just checked the specs and the s20 ultra 5g looks the goods. Enjoy!

I have been following along on the S20 Ultra. The Camera reviews have been mixed in that the zoom feature is outstanding but the 108mp pics are not any better then what can be taken on an S10+. So it will great to hear an unbiased review from you PAG.

I have the S9+ currently. I am to the point now that I will only upgrade every 3 or so models unless they introduce some really disruptive tech.

Things turned a tad chilly in the ozzy this week and I found myself short of a pair of slippers.

But I am now beslippered again with these bewts newly requisitioned

I'm getting worried now, how many times have you watched that film

Are they real abominable snowman feet or fake fur?

^ I am going Koala feet.

Koalas have monster claws so it could be.

Picked it up at Walmart yesterday. The mask silly.

Congratulations Shlocker you are ready to participate in the imminently arriving end of times

Let the games begin

No wonder I've been banned.

Don't let me get off the plane.

They wouldn't let you anywhere near a plane you lunatic.

For quite a while I've been meaning to get a phone mount for the car, but never got around to it. However, last Friday I ordered one from Amazon US (wanted to be sure it would take the S20), and it arrived today. It wirelessly charges the phone, even though I've got a case with the cover folded back so the screen isn't covered. Two options for mount, either air vent or CD slot (my option, last thing you need is to block airflow in our climate).

Very convenient for stuff like Google maps.

Is the S20 living up to your expectations?

Indeed. I tend to use Google Maps these days rather than the usually out of date onboard satnav. Next previously unchartered trip will be to Hellfire Pass for next months ANAC Day, a long weekend in Kanchanaburi.

Yes, the S20 Ultra is fine though not stretching its capabilities yet. There are a couple of glitches though, which no doubt will be sorted at the next software update.

^ good to hear ( not the glitches...).

Bought an assortment of grocery and hygiene items today. Might have panic and bought boxes of tissue rolls.

OK PAG....Mr. Wire OCD guy here. . Ya gotta do something with the wires hanging down. Take a nice set up like that and leave wires flopping????. Nice use of the CD slot. Who even uses CD's anymore? I really like the wireless charger. I have a HOCO set up. Very cool and as you bring the phone up to the charger, the holder automatically opens up to receive the phone then clamps back down.

But your point, I use Google Maps in my stereo head now. I use my phone as the internet source to the head. Pretty slick and I have a big screen with the map and all the voice commands.

Done much photography with the new S20?
