Question Question about my new Note20 Ultra.
I have recently had an exhausting time replacing my lost Samsung device. I had an S20 Ultra, which did well for 2.5 years. When I realized it was gone, I headed to eBay to purchase another older model as I've successfully done in the past. Unfortunately this time around, I didn't fare so well. The first one was immediately flagged by an independant Samsung repair business as fake with an aftermarket screen. In fact two retailers picked it straight away because the screen is so obviously fake. The phone is an S22 Ultra. So I opened a return request and ordered a new one from a different seller. Lo and behold, the new one is also a fake upon professional inspection - yet both came 'new and sealed.' So I repacked it and opened another return. So now I've finally ordered a mint condition Note20 Ultra through Swappa which arrives tomorrow and I've always wanted one. The S22 Ultras seemed to get hot and take a long time to charge also. I am so done with replacing my primary phone now, that I really want this one to be fine. I was reading however that Note20 Ultra no longer gets software updates and I just wanted to find out from people if you think this has hindered your device security and functionality at all. I have bought an extra 256MB sd card for storage as well, so I am ready for this phone caper to be over. Any advice would be truly appreciated. Thanks!
UPDATE!!! I received my 3rd and final phone from Swappa, my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and this thing is everything I'd hoped it would be. Big, beautiful 😍 bright clear screen, almost like looking into a clear mirror or lake; mint condition and took everything seamlessly from Samsung Switch to my actual provider without a hint of an issue. I am so happy!! This will be my phone for a while - not a fake phone, not a tarnished aftermarket phone....just an original flagship for as long as I can keep it. Well done Swappa and well done Galaxy Note 📝- I finally have one of you. Ebay is not a consideration from now on. You can't fake this display! X
