I can tell you that when Samsung emasculated the Note 5 last year I bought a V10. I find it to be powerful yet quirky. If some of the V10's quirks have been addressed in the V20 I feel that it will be more than sufficient. The irritating thing is that after Samsung seemed to get the New Note7 right (it performs, for me at least, better than the first recalled model) I would have gotten the V20 too. I need two powerful phones for my purposes. I can't speak for anyone else but going forward into 2017 with a V20 and an S7 Edge should tide me over until next autumn when the deck's reshuffled yet again; not to mention what Samsung presents in the upcoming S8.
