Linus: "you can expect a full review on the Linus Tech tips channel"
Me: wait what the hell am I watching
Same. I was like "Wait..." *looks at the channel*
BRUH I did the same double take!
I thought this was Unbox Therapy.
U are watching the unboxing and first impressions
I really thought this was LTT. I feel deceived.
Everybody else: start with specs
Linus (half way in): actually I just realised we haven’t talked specs yet
Stellar review. In the first 3 minutes you answered all the questions I had that were answered by NO OTHER REVIEWER on RUclips, phone balance, finger print detection speed. I love you man.
Plz note that this is not a review. Just first impressions.
@@ShortCircuit eye of the beholder, buds!
ShortCircuit Still happy to know I’m not crazy and that thing is THICK.
I feel like pretty much all phones recently reached the point where I can go through my whole day without battery issues. So I don’t really want phones to get bigger batteries anymore, it’s just making the phone too thick for no reason.
If batteries get better, I want the phone to get thinner. I wouldn’t have said that a few years ago, but now I don’t really see a good reason to improve battery life anymore and let be honest, those few millimetres we accepted each year ended up adding pretty quick.
@@EnochLindeman I don't mind the thickness if it allows for a bigger battery. The weight could be an issue though.
@@ShortCircuit Maybe put that in the title? Or atleast in the description.
*balances phone on finger*
"Its surprisingly well balanced "....as all things should be

I mean if Linus can't break it then we're all safe 😂
He said "let's get started" in fully Jerry rig style and he acts surprised when it has a "see through" back.
It's a see through? I thought its only the image of the dbrand skin.
Lalboi Manlun it's dbrands teardown skin

@@lalboimanlun1230 no it's just a copied skin of the internals. Real see through would void your warranty.
WHEN LINUS SAYS HE'S RETIRING IT SIMPLY MEANS HE'S OPENING ANOTHER CHANEL.
When be said he's retiring he meant maybe in the future from 3-5 years and did not mean rn
No one wants to see him burn out and quit everything altogether. But he did say he wants to go back to being interested in what he is saying.
im curious why linus is on samsung's "bad list"
im even more curious now who are on this list.
He refused to upgrade his Note9
he called them out for wiping his phone (factory reset) when he switched his simcard on the note 9 or some other Samsung unit. - American Canada thing apparently.
@@bonedatt i think he is using galaxy fold
Yup, it's weird since he daily drives a Samsung phone, which is what matters to a ton of people when they select a phone based on a RUclipsr.
It's simple, Samsung does not like RUclipsrs that actually reviews and criticises their phone.
"Korean standard charger"
**Confused European noises**
(Know that other countries outside Europe also use them, in Africa & Asia, it's just that most times in my experience it's associated with Europe)
Korean and EU chagers are slightly different; They look the same and Korean Wall socket can take EU plug just fine but the rods are a little thinner on EU ones, and may cause some sparks when used on Korean sockets.
It works fine in Brazil. We prefer this standard charger tbh
@@signfang No, Korea use type F power socket which are similar to a lot of EU countries like Germany. They are exactly the same.
@@Lanurus Well the European standard is used in most of the world by over 100 countries. It's a much better design that Chinese and American plug because you cannot touch the conductor while pluging your device.
@@uwu_senpai No. They're not exactly the same.

The editor put in 120GB multiple times instead of 128GB
Let's kill him!!! GRAHHH
Technically its true, the 8 gb is reserved for the OS i think
Raggedy Exynos True, but they did put in 512GB for the other one.
8gb was destroyed by coronavirus
All is forgiven, this is ShortCircuit not LinusTechTips
The biggest takeaway from this is that he's still rocking the note 9, and rightfully so
I'm still rocking my note 9 (Blue like linus' one) and it's one hack of a phone (the apex of productivity imho!)
Isn't he actually on the galaxy fold now?
@@youtindia Except he had 11 pro in his pocket in recent TechLinked episode(title "Such... POWER..."
)
I still use s9 plus
Im still on my note 9 512gb 8gb ram, why upgrade
"So you should be able to drop your phone more often, and from higher.."
Me: Waiting for the demonstration.
If it survives a couple of weeks with Linus, you'll have proof.
What about another place, some place Even Higher~?
My poor virgin eyes havent seen anything over 60fps
I can't even hit 30 fps on games
KA Tech I cant even hit 240FPS.. I’m stuck on 239...
ive never played a game over 60fps and ive only played 60fps.... i want too see why everyone likes 120 fps so i want to get there
Don't play any shooting games like CS on 144hz. You cannot unsee it, going back is rough.
I used to use a DAC on my ATH-M50 and before that I had ATH-a900x that sounded insane amped, so every once in a while, while listening to my beats pro I miss taking the subway back in NYC to use em.

Have you never played Nintendo games? Those generally play in 60fps stable.
Damn that's an efficient video, this new channel is a blessing lol
That S20 8k recording somehow makes Linus look like he's in front of a green screen. When moving the frame around, Linus appears to drift at a different rate to the background.
I believe that's a case of rolling shutter, heard MKBHD say something similar in his review
@@afrasyabnisar are we ignoring the fact that the s10 was moving around while the red camera was still?
@jesus barrera most people are gonna be recording with just their hands, so its realistic enough to how most people's videos will turn out.
@jesus barrera well I dont have a lot of info to go on because I'm not someone who needs 8k footage. But it sure sounds like you believe their comparison is unfair, so that means you should have quite a lot of experience handling high-spec cameras. Why dont you get your hands on an 8k red and an s20 ultra to see if their evaluation was truly validated.
@@blackhole4106 I just like your name 😂😂😂

These are the kinds of videos that I used to love watching NCIX Linus do. The unboxings and the little details make the best video.

Hey Shortcircuit, can you test the 8k Camera again, but on a Tripod, the shaking and moving I really dont think did the camera any favours.
they have snapdragon in south korea also
So they cannot sell their own processors in their own country 😀
exynos so bad 🥺

I really like this channel. Keep pumping the videos out!
i'd just like to say (again) that i really like the creation of this channel, and i really appreciate the kind of content it provides (hopefully for a long time:D)
So much hype around megapixels and bigger sensors and zoom. Except it was already done many years before. Nokia 1020.
And Nokia did it better. Samsung only put in as much pixels as possible only for marketing reasons...
@@Raja995mh33 How is it marketing?

That was surprisingly very insightful, I really liked the explanation on the fish-eye and straightening, didn't think of it
Camera bump to camera bump.....careful, that's how they keep getting extra bumps.
Anyone else notice that the dbrand link for Short Circuit is minustechtips as opposed to the main channels which is linusdroptips. Dbrand is hilarious 🤣🤣

Did it take longer because the phone is currently syncing and downloading a buncho apps? or is it the same time once the phone has settled down?
"00" models are Snapdragon models sold in Hong Kong and Latin America (e.g. Brazil). They lose out on some North-American-specific LTE bands (like no Band 71 on T-Mobile), but will work fine on GSM carriers in the US and Canada. And despite being Snapdragon models, the bootloader is unlockable. This models seems to be 256GB because it's meant for those regions.

I just got my S20 Ultra on Tuesday. I LOVE this phone. I like the sturdiness the feel of it has, the size, the cameras, pretty much everything about this phone so far.
I love EVERYTHING about this phone! Except the price, which is why i bought the oneplus.
Gotta love the text in dbrand's links at the very least.
Linus : This thing is freakin heavy
Samsung S20 Ultra: do you even lift bro
Meanwhile I have a literal 2lb phone... a LG V20 with an expanded 10,800mAh battery and metal kickstand.
The real question is.... Will it actually show me my notifications?
Probably not. Had to throw s10 at the wall

@@mattsteelephoto turn on sync?
Go through settings and change that lmao
I am digging the new channel! More laid back vibe! Its cool.
After the 4x, you're gonna need greater distances so that the auto focus does not blur the objects closer to the lens than they should be. The house in this video was always on the same distance. I think because of that we were unable to view 10x and 100x zoom any more clearly. I'm just wondering.
Woah Woah hold up, if it has a European wall charger. that means its not a Canadian/American model. It doesn't have the snapdragon processor.
5:12 yes, he knew that. That's why he said "except apparantly review devices". But honestly the difference in soc won't really matter.
@@leogrievous im not sure what soc stands for.... but if you google the difference between the processors for the S20 the Exynos is actually awful on battery. Even Lynus made another video about it
Matteo Plaxton SoC stands for System On a Chip. It’s like a motherboard for your phone.
I just got the S10+ last year. I can't believe they're in the 20s already smh
Actually reread what you just said and then bash your head against the wall once since every year a new phone comes out because there's tons of morons that actually pay an outrageous price even though 1-2 things might've changed..
@@dpreston8831 He was just making a joke. Samsung jumped from s10 to s20

Since when have they been releasing new phones every year? Is this a recent development?
Lol
Can you shoot video in 1080 or 4K at 120fps with this phone? I hope it's not 60fps in all resolutions....
I have RUclips minimizing to the small picture so I can multitask and theres a pause/lag whenever I start or navigate/transition in apps that isn't present on my s10+ weird.
When Samsungs marketing team designs a phone, they end up with the S20 Ultra
Watching this I’m like ‘’wow, maybe I should look into getting one’’ ... then I realise that i’m not even pushing my current oneplus 5t anywhere to its max capacity
There are a few games that are hard to run on my LG V20, like Elder Scrolls Blades, but there is one thing that my V20 has that no Samsung phone had since the S5... a removable (And upgradable) battery. I have a beefy 10,800mAh battery on it and can give me a solid 4 days of normal use. I still can't justify paying anything that anyone is asking. Closest consideration I have is the ASUS ROG Phone II.
OnePlus 5T ? Really? Asphalt 9 looks terrible on it, Fortnite can't run above 30 FPS and try Ark survival on epic settings your 5T will be fried my friend even 7T gets insanely hot while playing PUBG
@@hananabujawayed1351 I think the reason I don't do much on my phone is because I have a PC for gaming, a ps4 and a switch. Thought this phone is a beautiful piece of technology, it's prolly not for my usage.
OP3 here. The phone works perfectly (well, very subjectively). I've been looking forward to all the great new technologies, but I just don't have a strong-enough reason to upgrade.
@@hananabujawayed1351 why you would play ark or fornite in your phone?
I love all this extra content
I really like this new channel guys. It really feels more genuine and fun. Looking forward to alot more content. Also the phone seems pretty awesome. I have the s10+
I'm liking the recent Shortcircuit videos more than the recent LTT videos lately. Might just be me though.
Same. the last ones lost the feel
Your supposed too. This is all set up so Linus can leave us. 😭
KA Tech maybe they didn’t loose there feel, but we got reminded of the even better feel of LMG staff just talking to a camera without tons of scripting.
Less advertising pressure. As long as the LTT main channel can be the breadwinner, all the secondary channels can do whatever they want without the pressure.
1:37 _faint finger snap noises_
How did you find this
debating on getting the s20 after just getting the note 10 plus?
Awsome review!! Thank you!
Why haven't they use a stacked SIM tray? The phone seems thick enough to fit it in, so you can have 2 SIMs AND an SD card.
Do you really think at $1,400, Samsung will give you any more quality of life features? Nah, they just want your money at this point.
because their current sim tray they use currently works for 99.9% of users. And it doesn't cost them anything to keep the current without redesigning the layout.
We are getting to a point in technology where these phones cost more than my car
I just recently bought a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo in decent shape for $600 as a winter vehicle... Reliable transportation to work, or flagship cellphone... decisions... decisions...
Inb4 everyone calls you poor for that comment.
My phone did cost more than my car. I paid £879 for my S10+, (512GB ceramic), but only £500 for my Honda civic I bought 3 years ago.
Thing is, I bought my car to carshare with 3 colleagues, so I was only driving 1 in 4 journeys on a 4/2 shift pattern; once every 6 days and only a 40 min roundtrip at that.
So whereas my car sits parked unused 99% of the time, my phone gets significantly more use.
omg love that unboxing
Can anyone explain where this falls in the lineup? Is the 20 lineup replacing the S10 lineup or what?

2000: My phone has a camera
2020: My camera has a phone
Hahahaha, accurate!
This first happened in 2012 with "Nikon CoolPix S800c" and "Samsung Galaxy Camera". Samsung made a whole bunch of those over the years, the NX with replaceable lenses, basically DSLR replacement phone hybrid, and several ones with retractable zoom lenses.
I maintain that they all have missed an interesting way to make a high quality optical zoom lens fit within a fairly narrow enclosure, without making it extend out, and funny thing is SONY and Nikon had already done cameras like that.
@@SianaGearz yes but its just a joke related to the video its not actually supposed to be accurate

to be fair though you're not gonna be sticking your phone on a gimble or tripod, plus it had a really hard time focusing, my XR performs better than that and that's a "budget" phone, I say "budget" but it was still less than half the S20's price and that's 18 month old now.

Man, that focus hunting in the 8K video is sad :(
I do not know if you might have already done a video on the topic, but I am curious to know what is the difference between a Snapdragon chip vs an Exynos chip. The only thing I know about it is that smartphones in the US and Canada use the Snapdragon and in other countries the Exynos. Other than that I can't say that I know anything else about. Usually the smartphones I see online being sold at a discount price (for example Amazon) are sold as either "international model" or it is in the specs. I do not come across any that actually have the Snapdragon chip. Anyway, just curious about this or if any chip is better than the other.
@ Linus when you took the photos you weren't taking them at max resolution (by this i mean the size of the image... theres a button in the camera to change the size of the frame for the image.. at best i always have my one set to "full" which is literally the name of the biggest size)
