then run away from Apple,, real pain in the rear unless that is all you use is apple. If you are already familiar with android and windows, you will hate Apple. Constant headache trying to do ANYTHING for the wife with her apple.
Getting photos on computer or printing setup etc. Oh and Apples have crap antenna reception.
Cant speak for that particular model but have always been pleased with Samsung products. Wifes had a few apples, I tried one for awhile. I think hers is the 10, but she is ditching it for a Samsung.
She is jealous of how easy it is for me to use it for smart casting to the tv to stream Netflix, Hulu, etc,, vs the apple having to be hardwired with an HDMI adapter.
Also the signal strength issue, mine is ALWAYS better, and my old apple was even worse. I had the bluetooth engine interface module added to my merc outboard. With the apple I had to hold the phone up over my shoulder for it to stay connected. Samsung does fine,, although I admit I dont ever use it other than to keep track of fuel and hours.
So,,, Samsung,,, generic add ons , better reception, familiar interface, better capabilities for me, ( TV streaming) easier interface with computer.
Apple, propriety software, propriety accessories, more difficult interface with non apple, poorer reception.
The IPhone can cast just as easily to any proper tv or Apple TV. Reception has been fixed this year as they have gone back to Qualcomm modems instead of intel. Printing is also super easy. Just need a proper printer.
I am in this same situation. I need a phone bad. Mine is old and is possessed. Android only for me. Looking at going to samsung from motorola. I'm thinking S10+ . I can't see paying that much for S20.
umm no it cant, not even close. Apple cast the phone has to have internet and the tv has to have internet. Same with Pixel phones, all you are doing is controlling the tv's internet. So if you dont have some kinda broadband connection it is worthless, and if you DO have a broadband connection you dont need to use your phone,
You can use a phone as a hot spot, but my plan and I assume most limit hotspot data, and you will eat it up quick.
soooo in order to stream TV, when the phone is your only connection you can use a samsung to smart cast or hardwire an apple with a $40 (propriety apple of course) HDMI adapter. Other android phones supposedly can, but internet full of them not working. I have unlimited data on my phone. When I cast from a Samsung, far as VZ is concerned I am watching it on my phone.
Oh and printing is easy, LMAO ( just need proper printer) ,,, that was my whole point about Apple.
OP is an android guy, switching to apple he will end up having to change more than just the phone.
I got a s20 fe 5g the other day almost the same specs for half the price.
I have a s20 ultra, I liked my s5 and Motorola much better. The keyboard is too narrow, you better proofread anything u type. The camera doesn't take up close photos well, distant photos are great. For whatever reason it doesn't seem as fast as my last few phones.. if I had to buy another, it would be Droid, but not the s20
I have the s20+ and love it!!!
I had the S7 and the S8 and they both had the battery swell up enough to push the back cover off the phone. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I now have an Iphone.
Got a Note 20 Ultra couple of months ago, best offering yet.
I've got an S10+ and its the biggest piece of crap I've ever had. Wish my job would give me another Note. The Note 8 was the best phone I've ever had.

I have a note 4 and it's still kicking! It will be 6 years old in a few weeks. I hope it last a few more years.
S10e phone here and love it. Never a problem.

Do not take your half in the middle ....
I guess im the odd guy out. I’m went from a Samsung to an IPhone. My entire family switched to IPhones. I don’t see us going back to Androids. We have had zero issues and use Verzion.
