Stylus uses (1) Used with the Edge Magnifier I can hover the stylus over an image in the news or small text and magnify from 100 to 300%. (2) take a screenshot of a marked off section on the screen. This makes for smaller file sizes and its easier/faster to send via RCS/text. (3) screen off notes, quick jot of a phone number or comment that can be OCR'd later. I an also draw a figure or map to explain something to a collegue (4) extract text from the screen image. I can quickly mark off a street address or number and isolate/extract the text from the image and paste it into an email or text. (4) fine control and selection of smaller screen elements on a browser page when viewed in Desktop view.

well not a lot of people do ! and trust me most people who actually can afford the note 20 ultra wouldn't really care anyways but yeah the majority would put a case ofc

[@tjungan8409]

Normally we will put on a case when it is still new out of the box but when it ages like 2 years or so we probably don't care and leave it naked

[@mikldude9376]

Hmmm , i would , for this little black duck , the phone stays naked for about 5 minutes after i open up the box and then it wears the best case i can put on it , and in my neck of the woods , it starts at about $1899 quid for the basic ultra unit .

Not everyone does that. Also there is something called a clear case

I got the Note 10+ 5G (512GB) and the only thing I hate about it is the lack of a headphone jack. I use blutooth headphones generally but when I'm at home I'd prefer to use my wired ones. It's ridiculous that I had to shell out an extra £10 for an adaptor, which honestly for a £1200 phone at the time should have just come in the box. In regards to the S-pen, I use it primarily to extract text from images or sites where it doesn't allow you to selective copy. I also use it as a remote shutter for when I have to take photos when I'm not holding the phone. Other than that I don't really use it, even though there are other nice (gimmicky) features. I think my nephews and nieces use it more than me, as they like doodling on it. I'll run this phone for a few more years until it fails and I have to upgrade, but unless Samsung does something really groundbreaking I'm not entirely sure that I'll buy another Note.

[@1MarkKeller]

That is an insanely beautiful phone ... I have all kinds of FOMO for not waiting a few more months before getting my Note 10.

[@melbourne_1936]

Note users have always said we would rather have a thicker phone that can do more than a thinner phone that does less. I'm glad they went with a thick camera bump instead of giving us inferior cameras. I just wish they made the body thicker, which would in turn reduce the camera bump, and fit a bigger 5 or 5.5 MA hour battery. A bulkier phone that comfortably lasts all day is much better than a thinner phone that doesn't.

[@tabithawilliams-manuel2982]

Even with a thin cases, the camera bump appears significantly less.

@Walter Wanami Yes it does. I have a Note 20 Ultra so i might come off as biased but im not it is literally the next phone in the note line so of course its going to be better first. but the 120hz LTPO screen is a huge improvement 9ms on the most important feature on the phone the s pen, gorilla glass 7 is better than gorilla glass 6 in every way, and the cameras have gotten huge improvements its literally in Samsung marketing

[@chty101]

The S Pen is something that you want to have when you need it. i have to take down a quick note? Pull the s pen out. The note could be a phone number, street address, Grocery list, damn near anything. You can use the s pen to draw something out to explain it. Say you're trying to be discreet and want to tell someone something, right it on your note and show them lol. its Christmas time and you want a family photo? Set the phone up, take your pen you, get everyone read and click the button on your pen. That way EVERY ONE is in the photo and you don't have to take turns.

As I thought this phone is made for Samsung fans or people that need premium features and a S Pen, because I think they're better phones available.

[@jimjones3287]

Every review I've seen has one thing in common. They all talk about the weak battery and they're on the snapdragon. I wouldn't even think about the exynos version then since exynos has worse battery life than snapdragon. 4500maH is a travesty for $1300 and their talking about overheating too.....this phone is going to be so unsuccessful.
