Galaxy S20 Official Pre-order Megathread

[MaherMayI]

I looked at all the deals, and ended up keeping my old phone. The value was too low, and Verizon had a BOGO deal that resulted in two S20 Plus phones for a total of $900, not counting the $150 Samsung credit for each one on top of that.

So you had to open a new line? That was required for that deal? I thought about that so I could get an s20 for wife, but didn't want a new line and her phone is brand new (pixel 4)

Yes. I was planning to get a phone for my son as a grad gift, so I jumped on the deal. However, he is NOT getting a $1200 phone!! LOL. I get one, the other goes to my brother who is on my account, and I picked up a cheap one for him. Once I have them all, I will swap devices so I get the S20+ for myself

Nice @WeeWilly. I don't know what the dongle thing does, but the price was free, so I figured what the hell, include it.

The dongle is a USB-A to USB-C connector and it allows you to connect two phones together using a charging cable in order to transfer data. I have several already, but it was free...

I didn't order any accessories, but I guess I'll have to find something to spend my $150 on. I bought a cheap case from Amazon, I have multiple wireless chargers, a smart watch, and $5,000 wireless earbuds (my hearing aids).

I just got this last night...

I checked my order and it now says

C'mon Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WeeWilly]

My order shows shipped, but FedEx shows estimated delivery on Wednesday.

 

[R=G]

Tmobile shipped mine out..arriving tomorrow via UPS. I changed mine to Pick Up since I wont be at my house most of the day.

 

[NightAngel79]

REALLY regretting ordering from BestBuy even more now. I was scared away from unlocked after having issues with a previous unlocked phone. And bestbuy had this sweet blue colored choice... meh...

ALso when you do it that way they hit you with upgrade fee, and less of a big deal, but they forced me to pay off my current phone, which seemed stupid.

Ha! I had the actual flu (not really, but sick as hell for 2 days) so I have to be in. Plus, mine is pickup. So headed to BestBuy tomorrow. Then the fun, "please don't open my device for me" talk where I have to explain I don't want them touching it and I know what I'm doing, lol

 

[Unforgiven]

Device is in hand, unboxing video recorded and I'll post it soon. First impressions its fast, smooth, easy in the hands like the Pixel 3a, and I have a lot to learn in the Samsung ecosystem. You'll be hearing a lot more from me over the next few days and weeks.

I, for one, am anxious to hear a real person's take on the phone. Especially someone new to the Sammy circle.

I took a ton of pics prepping my brisket for corned beef, but I'm limited on pic size that I can post here. This is a portion of...

...is this pic...

...simply at 100%. The camera is crazy.

 

[olbriar]

The pics speak for themselves. I bet your corned beef is outstanding too.

Well, today it is a brisket in brine. Check back in after two weeks to see how it comes out, but it is normally pretty good.
