Mobile hotspot can quickly consume a lot of data volume of the Samsung Galaxy S20
The Mobile Hotspot uses the data of your mobile phone provider and is therefore not free (unless you have an unlimited data subscription). When the Mobile Hotspot is activated, you should be aware of the data usage to avoid paying more than your usual data usage.
In particular, there is a risk that other devices may view the hotspot as a standard Wi-Fi hotspot and automatically download major updates, for example.
So now you know the procedure to use the Samsung Galaxy S20 as a mobile W-Lan Hotspot.
