[@michaelpham2221]

I am still using my Note 20 ultra. Still works great. Battery life was not good anymore, so I had a new battery put in. I have nearly 500gb of media on my SD card. Apart from Sony none of the new flagships have SD card expansion. I'll be keeping this one until 1tb phones become mainstream

[@bradleyswaney6100]

My best friend is still using one today. For what he does with a phone, it's still great. The phone is faster than he is. 😂

[@mauriciomarioni6048]

I still use it 😂

[@maga8307]

Still using my note ultra 20 5g and just received 1st January security update. Still a great note with sd card support. Not upgrading because of no sd support in newer phones. Im a normal users . Just use for KZbin, FB, TIK TOK, x etc and still going strong.

[@samuraisings5105]

Imagine this came with 5 years of software update.

[@matthews-tech]

Yeah it’s unfortunate

[@darko1-qo3yd]

I miss the camera ❤

[@SayeelParab]

Camera design looking dated??? It's LITERALLY the ABSOLUTE BEST CAMERA DESIGN EVERRR made! The ABSOLUTE BEST Looking phone EVERRR!!! Especially in MYSTIC BRONZE!

[@Terry-f5g]

Still love my Note 20 Ultra. Military Grade case and switched screen protectors as needed. Battery pretty much kept at 85% for years so that is still great. Phone is cherry to this day. And it is still getting Security Updates (quarterly now, but still...). Now my secondary device as I needed a better processor for some intensive business apps and to run my mobile desktop setup a little cleaner and quicker (and no, my primary is NOT another Samsung as the Note 20 was the LAST GREAT SAMSUNG FLAGSHIP in my opinion).

[@cajunasian71]

Well. The Note 20 Ultra is my secondary device and I just received the latest Security update under One UI 5.1 on January 20, 2025 (T-Mobile network). So it is still getting that a year after Samsung said no more updates. Still a fantastic phone that matches up with the newer Samsung "Flagships".

Videos like these made me buy my s23 ultra last year, knowing I'll be hopefully rocking it for many years to come.

[@matthews-tech]

It’s definitely a solid choice!

[@1983XR500]

My dad still uses this phone. I was so impressed my it, I bought my wife and I s23 ultras when those came out.

[@raymondcrisostomo9778]

I still have mine and won't upgrade because the new s24 ultra does not even a micro sd car slot. Mine can add 1tb micro sd card. It's a bigger phone. Game is still good. Which I don't really use much. It's still a great phone.

[@farhannavas3496]

I just replaced the display (greenline, replaced it from samsung after a lot of emails), battery and charging port.. and damn... This is a fkn beast.. day to day tasks are simple... 4hr screen on time.. on my Exynos 990, and 3 hr or something with heavy load... Good gaming, bro gets hot...(Bought a mobile cooler for that) Still a great phone, looking to use it for another 3..4 yrs.. i miss the curved display on the newer phones... I'm waiting for a big jump in the phone sector to upgrade

[@KevoIogy]

correction: 3:02 note 20 ultra has snapdragon 865+ (an overclocked version), not the original 865

[@johnalello9233]

Yes it is a good phone to pick up in 2025 like you said large screen 6.9 in. No it's not outdated design looks as good as S25 ultra camera good speakers great design great use Goodlock to modernize the screen and functions brightness good price good still gets security updates battery good charges fast! Look Newer phones not much better and cost$1,300.00 S-pen is good so really no need to upgrade to S25 ultra that phone not going to be that much better and Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra 5G has some AI features on Google this phone can do it all and yes use a phone case with screen protector the phone will last forever and yes it looks just as modern as anything outthere with the bronze color looks great! I still get compliments on this phone when I pull it out of the pocket!!! So people get a Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra 5G and enjoy your phone it is a mini computer!

[@techviz9439]

But you can get better

[@TheHairlessChimp]

For £300 A+ refurbished it out performs any mid range phone out there at the price of a budget phone. I'm still using mine after over four years. Ive had the battery replaced last year. Its such a good phone for the £££ & the screen is beautiful for media consumption.

[@jRows5rw3qd8]

this device had security update just recently around oct to dec and i didnt expect it. its still great device the speaker still louder than s23u. the only problem is it only has 128gb despite moving all moveable app and game data to sd card i still only got 5 to 6gb left on my interal rom which slows down the device a bit. the battery was never its strenght but still great device.hope app dev wont require newer android versions to run apps cause i will use it till it stopped working

[@TheHairlessChimp]

It also came with 256GB which is the variant I have. With a 512gb memory card in. It's still better than any new mid range phone out today at a budget phone price.

[@jRows5rw3qd8]

@TheHairlessChimp 256gb Sd865plus? i know its the exynos version and it doesnt support all 4g and 5g bands.i dont even have that much apps. like i said despite moving all moveable apps data to sd card i still ended up getting mine almost full and it makes the phone laggy. but its really a great phone

[@TheHairlessChimp]

@@jRows5rw3qd8 yes the exynos version, it was the only version available in the UK. It got slated in comparison to the Snapdragon but long term with the larger storage capacity it's actually the better option.

[@centralvoid]

Just ordered a refurbished one; hoping for the best.

[@matthews-tech]

Let me know how it goes.

[@centralvoid]

@@matthews-tech Just got it today. It's in great condition, with only a few scruffs on the back. The pen sticks out a little bit which I'm not sure if it's normal, but no big deal. Screen looks beautiful too. Can't wait to test out some games on it.

[@juliananderson222]

Itll b a great fone for u no worries best to come out

[@techviz9439]

Could have bought something better

[@centralvoid]

@@techviz9439 I'm loving it so far, personally. Performance is great, battery life is decent, and it's nice that it also has SD card support since not many flagship phones still have that feature (only Sony Xperia's, I believe).

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

It’s great that Samsung is nowadays giving full software support for 7 years. Note 20 Ultra would still be good to go for a few more years if it received updates. I don’t use devices that are no longer supported and safe to use. Unnecessary risk in my personal opinion.

[@TekuzuGV]

Its the First time I see a tech reviewer showing off Dragon Ball content on their phone :D but I was hoping to see Dragon Ball Legends instead of the subway surfers since you were using DBL art tho

[@JaanuChandupa-o8o]

Whats better for photography iphone 13pro or note 20 ultra

[@artbunker]

Never gave up mines. Battery is the only weakness. Otherwise its awesome even today. 865 was a great chip. 888 and gen 1 overheated too much.

[@artur89898]

This is last year it will get updates...

[@Asd1234Ahha]

Bro do you recommend samsung korean versions or international

[@matthews-tech]

Never used those models

[@Tlaloc223]

Stil using a lgv60 with cracked back on tmobile. Bought a replacement but thinking of getting the note.

[@cajunasian71]

Wow. Considering that the back was Gorilla Glass 6, you must not have had it in a good case. My old V60 is still mint (protectors replaced) and Mil grade case (when not in duo case). Not my phone anymore, but still solid for media.

[@techviz9439]

V60 better

[@shyamsunilkarthikeyan5564]

I'm still using Note20Ultra (SD865+) along is with S23Ultra.

[@KingOfZaRa119]

S21 ultra vs note 20 ultra ?

[@arjames26]

My uncle and aunt are still rocking their Note 20 ultras with no issues 🔥

[@ruffin70]

I have had my Note 20 Ultra 5g since the day it was released. And i love it for what it does for me. My question is though recently I was walking to my water bill company to pay my bill and lost my balance and fell. When I picked up my phone it had shattered. Everything is visible and the beauty of the phone is just not to my liking. I don't want to upgrade because I own this phone and then a technician said they replace the screen for $200 but it will take 2 days. Upgrade is $200 also but I would have to program the phone all over. Download a ton of stuff again. What would you do?

[@Nachomann1]

can i also get an spen when i upgrade my s20 fe to s20 fe ultra?

[@JeffMilan-c9s]

Thank you so much for the review,kindly compare it to s 24 ultra and tell is if it is worth the upgrade

[@justinkimble4654]

For the price its a steal!

[@syverian1]

Still loving my 528+528. steel frame has saved my @$$ countless times. Camera rocks. Ram-a-lama heyo!.

[@ghost-of-Eazy-E]

My current phone and i wouldn't pay a penny over $150 for it

[@jRows5rw3qd8]

well to me iphone 16 pro max are worth 300usd at max. since note 20u is old i guess 150usd is decent price you ask but we will never get this phone for 150 unless we are in year 2035 when it is really really old that doesnt run all apps

[@4512wony]

If I buy now second hand is it will be worth it?

[@cajunasian71]

Depends. Condition of phone vs price vs understanding that security updates will eventually cease. If you are good with that and run good antivirus and VPN, still one of the best phones ever released.

[@4512wony]

@cajunasian71 it's the same price with iPhone 11 i want to use it for university for 4 year which i should buy help me🙏

[@cajunasian71]

@@4512wony I would go with the Note 20, personally. Perfect for multitasking (including using Dex for a desktop experience) and the pen is incredibly useful (why Samsung kept it on the Galaxy Flagships). Having an SD card for extra memory is also a huge plus. Just use a good VPN like Surfshark and antivirus like AVG. Good Luck. 😊

[@TafadzwaChikuvanyanga]

I have an s24 ultra but those curved sides were really beautiful

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

@@matthews-tech all good, just 1 heads up as I didn't get past the camera segment before it was taken down. That Pixel 9 pro XL's camera delay was likely due to one of the settings being changed(from 12mp to 50mp) ik it forces the phone to stay steady for longer iirc.

25W charging is kinda slow? Apple condiser it "fast charging" XD

This was also considered fast charging by Samsung in S21 U

@@promo2099 "was" in 2021, for apple it still is. And we are 4 years older.

[@promo2099]

@@n8n8n8nApple has 45w charging just like the galaxies Ultras, Apple doesn’t market it but Google it the 16s have 45w, either way I agree with both brands cause those Chinese phones with super fast charging only depletes the battery faster and is an easy way to sell you the next phone with minimal upgrades

Great review as always, I would have written a review earlier but the GOOGLE HEAD banned me for 24 hours because I DEFENDED Mayor Bass (LA) and Governor Newsom (CA) on a PRO MAGA-CRAZED Fox News podcast. Such haters out there. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mac-castleprime]

@matthews-tech, you have really made a habit out of me, I wake up, check your latest update, and feel good, it has made me no longer watch other phone tech KZbinrs except Booredatwork, cause you both just make listening and understanding come natural and plain even if you both don't have too much followers, you caught me with your taste for old flagship while booredatwork caught me with his taste for mobile gaming reviews, incase if you wanna stop or contemplating sometimes, I want you to know that there is someone who wakes up to check on your videos daily, a huge fan. Anyway I want to buy the samsung s20 ultra 16gb 512gb rom this year and I want to hold it for more than 5 years, is it worth buying or can it hold on that long? NB: I am not big on Android updates or security patches, I can rom it

[@matthews-tech]

If you don’t care about updates then yes. S20 will be solid for years.

[@mac-castleprime]

@@matthews-tech okay thanks 🙏🏽
