I thought the screen size compared to my 10 plus would be relatively indiscernible but it really looks quite bigger . Wierd.
I returned the s20U because of the camera issues especially with the main 108 megapixels. This phone completely nails it. I took pictures from all different angles and all different zooms and they were really superb.
Much as I love my 10 plus screen clarity the 20 Ultra really seems to top it.
Here's another weird thing I tested the speed of it on a speed test and it was 256 ms down.
then tested the 10-plus in the store and it was 489 ms down! I tested it twice the 10+: 400+ ms down.
What the hell's with that ?!

A speed test on what? The in store wifi? How did you connect your phone to the in store wifi for the devices on display?

Exactly, so many reasons this could be the case, even cases, phone orientation, is one on 2.4Ghz wifi and one on 5Ghz, if on 5G/LTE are they both on the same mode, etc.
I want someone to point the Note 20 Ultra camera at their current phone with a black background and white text to see if the "across the frame" focal uniformity issues that the S20 Ultra has - are fixed!
Never have I had a phone camera with a frustration level so high in being able to easily and quickly capture text on a computer screen before! I shouldn't have to use pro mode and MF and zoom and do best guess on peaking to hope it looks decent. Readable? Yes, but I'm used to text in photos looking like the original.
My lowly Nexus6 and Droid Turbo take better pics in this regard FFS! :-|

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the device body is actually even thinner than 11mm. Why? Because the size is usually measured by the thickest part of the device, which in this case is the popping out camera. Think I already mentioned that somewhere...or maybe in another forum, never mind.
You can clearly see on the "Specification" part at the HTC website (picture of side of device) that the camera is the popping out. Just zoom in the picture.
What I just saw and what strenghtens my thought: The website includes the camera in the 11mm! So the "body" could be 10mm or even less.
Here is a zoomed in picture of what I mean. It's from HTC's website, I just added the red line. What do you think?
I'm also wondering why nobody actualy measured the size in any of those previews...

As mentioned somewhere else......it´s not so much the size, that matters....it´s the performance......

(Yeah, saw that ^^)
Yeah, with emphasis on "so much" ^^
If that device was 18mm thick nobody would've be that much interested. Even with 14mm it would still be unattractive because of its total size.
And even now, people are wondering if the device isn't too big for them. Making it even thinner could resolve those manners.
And maybe there are more people like me who try to imagine what it could feel like to hold that device in the hand, maybe also with building a paper model of it ^^ So 1-2mm thinner device feels a lot more comfortable =)
AND almost every preview compares the thickness, so it IS somehow important. ^^
Agree with Kabakara,
I already built a model from paper
gotta love the thin slim look... I wouldn't have gone HD2 if it was 14mm or thicker..

You may notice the curve on the NS.
MT4 looks thinner.
I got a good screen on MT4, and it doesn't have color fading or washout problem.
For fair comparison, I use same wallpaper. NS is surely a winner on this part
NS is clearly a winner on this.
Somehow I got red tint on the picture, but it actually didn't show such tint.
the MT's browser is much smoother than the N1

Do you mean the NS...?
I think both are barely the same when opening up xda.
I will upload a video to youtube to show the loading time.
Conditions:
both run on Skyfire and reloaded a few times on both.
both run on 3G and assumed both have similar reception.

Yes i mean NS
I had a rooted iphone running on t-mobile for a while, so today I went and opened a att account to try the iphone 4 for a few days. I did this because I was so disapointed in the browsing experience on the nexus s. The iphone will be going back but I am really pondering getting the mt4g which I owned for a few days before returning it because of bluetooth issues and the inability to send my contacts list to my car nav. I love the ns screen and styling but think I may go back to the mt4g since I will end up running a custom rom on whatever i choose.
Gosh that curved screen looks so sexy next to a normal flat phone.

It took me a few hours to upload merely 24MB blurry video.

Basically, the loading speed is tied between two.

How about the scrolling? which one is smoother?
Hi,
Have you taken pictures with another camera app than stock?
Camera MX (free on the store)

Stock camera
Seems the quality of the pics taken by the stock app is not as good as the other.
I've found that in the market they all have their pros and cons and that the differences are variable depending upon the circumstance, but the camera certainly isn't the feature to be bragged about on this phone. I've found that one of the ports of the Nexus 4 camera produces the best results most consistantly on my handset. I've also often wondered if my handset got the short end of the stick with the camera it has since a lot of other people are happy with the quality they get out of their RAZR HD, though I'm coming from a Galaxy S 2 which takes wonderful shots in comparison to some of the phones out now despite it now being an old phone model. Its the one thing I really miss about the S2.
On a tangent, I played around with a Galaxy S 4 today and did a bit of camera testing. Single shot stuff. I didn't find that it was all that much better than the S3 or S2 for taking single snapshots. The anti-shake setting worked but not quite as well as on the previous devices, for example. That was really all I could test though, since they always have great lighting when you're looking at phones. Quality is quality, but I'm not convinced 13 megapixels is better than 8 the way Samsung implemented 8 on the previous devices. To be fair though, I had it at 9.5 megapixels. 13 restricts you to a 4:3 shot.
I'll have to try out Camera MX now
thanks for the heads up, just tested it out and it does seem a little sharper, plus the FX options are pretty cool too
|[JTC MaxxHD]|
Are there any "hacks" for the stock cam in the build prop or media xml where one might tune a little parameters of e.g. jpg quality?
Found this gem of a feature hidden in the display options. Has this been brought up? It's pretty great!

Many phones offer a similar feature, I know Samsung does and I think LG might as well.

Coming from an S5 myself, I can say this implementation from Motorola is much improved or better. I actually had it disabled on the S5 (along with everything else) as it did not work very well.
On Turbo it is picking up detection even in a very dark room and it actually re-initializes the screen if it goes dim. I'm keeping my sleep at 15-30 seconds with this feature.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 has this feature. Doesn't work very well at night time where the Turbo seemed to pick up my face no problem in just about pitch black conditions. Very happy with it and leave them both on as well!
@geoff5093, just realized you are like 20 minutes from me, I am from Londonderry, actually go through Goffstown just about every other weekend to play paintball in Weare... small world!

It is well known problem of Samsungs, starting from Galaxy S II if I remember correctly.
It is hardware issue, difficult to remove due to lens build.
I've been in Sonoma this week for a wedding. I've taken over 250 pictures in every possible lighting condition. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera. Really low light isn't great but it's better than other Samsung phones. Low light can still get you some impressive results.
Macro shots are impressive too.
I'm sorry you're having an issue but it's definitely not universal.
It is visible in plain scene mostly, maybe you can't see such effect. Conditions must be met ^^

I'll check the next time I find the need to shoot a white wall in a dimly lit room. I don't participate in threads that require replicating conditions I'll never or rarely face to create a problem. It's kind of a 'If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound'? thing. If I'm not in the forest I don't care.
