Greetings,
I just upgraded from my S8 to S20 ultra and I wanted to set a couple things that I liked about my S8. First was how I unlocked my S8. S8 didnt have any home button like S20 but I was able to press and feel a pulse as if there was a button and that would unlock my phone. Does the S20 ultra have something like that. Not to be confused with the fingerprint unlock feature as while its similar, not really the same. (also i understand that fingerprint is added security, but i prefer that S8 "home button" unlock more)

Also when I press the lock button on my S8 it makes a sound. I couldnt find any setting on my ultra that lets me add a sound when pressing the lock button.

Thank you!

Not sure what this home button unlock you speak of. On the s20 line you can double click screen to unlock, hit power button, or use face unlock.

Here screen unlock sound setting, under sounds and vibrations

On the S8 its under display settings called "Unlock with home button" the description says
"Hard press the home button while the screen is off to skip the lock screen and go directly to the home screen"

Yes, but these have no home buttons...

The s8 doesn't have a home button also. The s7 was the last phone with a physical home button. S8 did not have a home button. It looked like a smaller s20 with no home button.
The s8 doesn't have a home button, but it has a setting that allows you to hard press where the home button is (even if there is no button) and it will unlock the phone as if there was a physical button, but there isn't.
I was wondering since the s20 also has no home button, if it had the same setting as s8

Ahh, then no. But slightly above that is where the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is (in screen) so hard pressing that does the exact thing you describe (when it works)
