I had an S10+ and just upgraded to an S20 Ultra... this thing is a monster. You almost need 2 hands to hold it. It dwarfs even my S10 and that was not exactly a small phone either.... i will say it has a nice solid heft to it which makes it feel premium.

They just can't pair because my phone doesn't show the car. Is there a setting on my phone that needs to be changed you think? Great video btw! Shared to others :)

1 nit-picky thing I don't like: The extendable XL headers in settings & apps. E.g. In Settings, if you swipe down passed the top of the menu the "Settings" header will grow to about 1/2 the screen. There are times when apps will open with the XL header by default, i.e. txts, contacts, etc. Its an annoying and purposeless feature IMO and I can't find a way to turn it off- Is there a way?

My s20 refuses to stay connected to my in-home Wi-Fi network. Won't connect at times, etc. I've resetted my network settings on the phone numerous times, called my ISP to see if the signal is weak and it's not. Last resort was a factory reset on my phone, which I did and it temporarily fixed it but it's back to not connecting to my in home Wi-Fi. Phone says it can't authenticate connection or connected but no internet. I have tried forgetting the network and inputting the password again and most of the time the phone says it can't connect. I'm at my wits end. I spent quite a bit of money on this phone and I'm unsatisfied. Any suggestions?
