This is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, what the company dubs as the powerhouse that forever changes how you work and play, and if you keep reading the marketing: It’s the ultimate gaming experience that goes where you go, it's a director-grade 8K video camera, it's a multi-tasking computer suite, it's anything but your average smartphone. I know,.. Gotta love a bold sales pitch, but I wanna focus on that last particular premise. I've been a Galaxy Note user since version 2, mainly because this is the one phone that is hard to compare with any other. This is that one lineup that's famous for doing more, and also infamous for always adopting some polarizing means to get there. I mean, did we really need for this phone to go Ultra in features and price? I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and join us to dive into that premise in our full review.

Watching on my note 8, but will be finally upgrading to the note 20 ultra. Thanks for the review Jaime.

[@ZioComposite]

Kept the Note 8 for 3 years and finally upgraded to the Note 20 ultra since I can maximize the trade in vs trying to sell on Swappa. As a Note 8 user the 6 GB of Ram, 64 GB internal memory, degrading battery life, end of Android updates, and burn-in was finally taking it's toll. With now 3 years of confirmed updates see keeping the Note 20 Ultra for likely 3-4 years. Have had the phone for about a week now and during that time was using both Note 8 and 20 Ultra side by side. If you are a power user will notice the performance increase, reduction in lag, much improved cameras and also the overall smoothness. For people who are casual users, the Note 8 is honestly still a great phone. Just shipped out the Note 8 yesterday and was the longest time I've ever kept a phone. Gonna miss her! On another note, things I wished they did for the Note 20 ultra. Give it the design/size of the Note 20 with a fingerprint sensor on the power button instead.

Got my note ultra about 3 weeks ago. Switched from the iPhone XS Max I had since it released. Man I missed Android, it feels like android is finally mature as well as Samsung. I know plenty of people have issues with some things regarding the note but for people like me who upgraded after two years of a phone, this phone is just flatline amazing. Also first note! Usually swap between iPhone and Samsung S every couple years.

I accidentally smashed my note 10+. I was so mad. Anyway, it was only a couple weeks before Note 20 Ultra was going to be available so I pre-ordered a new Note 20 Ultra. Wow this new phone is so good. The 120 HZ makes the screen super smooth and the S-Pen is notably smoother too. It’s incrementally better in many ways than my Note 10+. I have owned every note series phone except version 5 and 9. IMO this by far the most noticeable upgrade over a previous version (Note series) phone that I have purchased.

Samsung trying to force their services and apps on users is the main reason I don't know that I'll buy another one of their phones when I'm done with my Note 9. Their skin is good now and I'm not a pure Android guy, but stop trying to compete with Google in ways that don't make sense.

[@markroule7569]

I think it's not a problem: -Long press on the app -disable Done! I disabled all double stocks samsung apps

[@skuyzy198]

I agree with this, fortunately, there are ways to pretty much permanently remove these services and apps. Using ADB commands. I pretty much completely nuked Bixby and anything related to it out of existence in my Note20 Ultra, amongst other things and apps I don't see needing. I freed up a whole GB of idle memory usage, around 4GB in storage(not that's an issue or anything, but still), but most importantly it slightly improved battery and generally feels cleaner. And there is no need to root. I would suggest to anyone who is tech savy enough to do so.

[@loryasis7837]

Because it's obvious that samsung wanted to head in a direction w/o google. They made their own os before(for phones), it just didn't work. Even their watches has samsung OS(Tizen). It might take years but it seems like samsung is making efforts on improving their apps tho they are not there yet. They want people to get used to them so they are really forcing it, which can be annoying. Most smartphone brands have their own app store and are doing their best to get more apps in them. It's kind of like a safe guard. Just look what happened to huaweii.

Preordered it and had to return it due to warning camera failed error. Tried everything that support recommended nothing worked . I wrote it off as a bad device and returned it. Then went to the local Best Buy and picked up an unlocked one and traded in my note 10 plus. After 10 days I think I am regretting it. A lot of my use is for office work. Webex zoom microsoft teams and Google meet. Everyone one of those tools has issues with the speakerphone and mics. Whenever I try to use the device with speakerphone all my coworkers complain of hearing echoes when unmuted. This goes away with any bluetooth accessory which tells me it's an issues with the mics . I tried looking it up and it appears from Samsung forums this has been an issue that has plagued other Samsung devices in the past. For 1300 dollars I think that's a bummer and I did not have any of these issues in the note 10 plus. Yeah the camera is big and supposed to be a beast but when basic phone features start faltering it tells me it's a potential hardware issue and maybe they rushed it. Also the speakers don't sound as well balanced as previous notes. I find the bottom speaker louder when turned in landscape mode. I think it's going back wish I hadn't traded in my note 10 plus but whatever.

Hey people in the comments :) I hope that you are all keeping healthy and safe! I have a couple of questions so if any one could answer that would be greatly appreciated :D I currently have an Iphone 8 Plus, I've had it for almost 3 years now and i'm looking to upgrade. I used to have a HTC One M8 before this so I'm not completely obsessed with Apple and I am looking to upgrade my phone. Would you recommend the Samsung Galaxy note 20 Ultra? The main things I need are at least 256GB storage and great video and photo quality as I use my phone all the time for work and life and a part of that involves taking videos and photos. Also I do own a Macbook Pro and I find it's super easy to connect an Iphone to it but back when I had a HTC it was such a hassle to transfer over videos and photos without the quality being compromised. So is it possible to transfer video and photo files from a Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra and how easy is it? I hope somebody can help! Many thanks and keep safe :)

[@ishtiaqdipto]

This is going to be a bit hard, coz they release the note series by mid August and by that time the plus version of the regular Snapdragon gets released. So basically if they release 3 phones on January then we will miss the PLUS version of the Snapdragon chip. It's not a huge deal to a lot of people but when you spending 1000 for a phone you definitely want the latest one right? But it will be the best with the release of Exynos+ AMD GPU . Those chips are gonna outperform Snapdragon. But I like your idea tho, all these lineups are so confusing.

This all is fine and dandy as long as you get the version that sports the Snapdragon chipset. Alot of us are stuck with the budget version using the Exynos. That combined with no heat pipe or other heat sink in the phone makes it a way worse buy, and not even close to value for that price.

[@MM_MAXQ]

Yep.

[@BlixBCR]

@@MM_MAXQ Yeah, the Exynos phone is worse. Although you shouldn't completely count it out. The Exynos processor variant seems to have the copper vapour chamber system (check out JerryRigEverything's latest video). I have the note 20 ultra with Exynos. Its okay, but I would only consider it if you can get it for a discount. (which I did when purchasing from the education store)

[@MM_MAXQ]

@@BlixBCR I have Note 10+ exynos. Did geekbench test after seeing Jerryrigeverything video. Mine came at 833 single core and 2350 multi core. So almost as Note 20 ultra (exynos). Ofc these chipsets in day to day use of scroling phone and watching video is enough and i wouldnt tell the difference between exynos and snapdragon. Until we come to camera quality and battery life. On which the fellow snapdragon would have 20 percent battery left when exynos version would power down. I have a theory. Snapdragon unit could reduce battery size, bring back the headphone jack for the space it saved. And, i guess, the battery life would be the same as exynos without headphone jack. :-) that's the real steal of different chipsets

Watching on my note 9. Would've loved to upgrade to note 20 ultra but living in Europe we only get the exynos version unfortunately I was so worried as well with the battery life of it. Even with an upgrade with Vodafone its still costly to have it 😩 probably just wait for black Friday. They might drop the price or may e wait for note 21 ultra 😂

[@roaddogg800]

It's a tough year for phone advancements. I have a Note 10 plus and have upgraded my Note each year. I'm not certain however if I will this year or not. The feature upgrades seem incremental while the price upgrade seems significant. In some ways it sounds like an S20 Ultra might be the superior device.

[@ADOBEFXPRO]

Ugh, this damn Note 20 Ultra back-order. Been waiting 2 weeks & i'm getting antsy. Looks amazing!

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

the note 20 ultra is like having a top of the range sports car. great performance, small fuel tank and more buttons and gadgets than you can shake a stick at. and no other phone grabs more attention when you whip this beast out of your pocket especially the mystic bronze....

[@Soto-Tech2020]

I've had it for almost 2 weeks and I'm enjoying it but this phone should have and could have been better. It should have come with everything and more practical features; headphone jack, heart rate monitor, better iris scanner or 3D face unlock. I would have also preferred the fingerprint reader on the power button . That's the best placement for it. Also, it should have a minimum of 5500mah battery capacity, period not even 5000mah. A good phone but when I look at it next to my Note 9 it doesn't feel as complete and the real beast it should be in 2020.

[@roys.3474]

Yes you are right.. my galaxy note 20 ultra battery is horrible .. ive had every note since the beginning and this battery is probably the worst . Hopefully a update can fix this little bug

[@Soto-Tech2020]

@@roys.3474 Yes, it's ridiculous. I've made a video about it and I'm preparing my final thoughts about it compared to Note 9. I was thinking of returning it but I will keep it for now. I might sell it later on.

[@thefitnesslife4988]

Just upgraded to this from the galaxy s8+. Had a hard time picking between this and the s20 ultra. Liking the note so far. Amazing for music. It gets pretty loud when you move the db up and turn on the Dolby atmos.

[@amguit]

I found the s20 ultra heavier and bulkier in the hand. It almost felt a bit more premium than the Note ultra

[@darvinhill2664]

One of the reasons I choose the note year after year is the eco system. I love premium products even if I don't always use all the functions. That's what Samsung is doing better than all the other Android manufacturers.

You work for samsung huh?

The coolest use ive found for 50x zoom is getting pictures of the moon with decent detail that not even my dslr van get.

[@dandel2226]

Loving my note 20 ultra, don't think I use the spen as much as I thought I would but when I'm on my pixel (out and about)I catch my self saying damn, I should made a note if that. I'm waiting on the fold Z 2 to see which to keep.

[@hot2handle66666667]

I feel you Jaime, First off i gotta thank you for a job well done on this review. I have always had the note series ever since note4. The note7 almost made me stop but there is no phone in my book ever like the Note. Samsung with the Note20 ultra5G just accentuated that point for me, with the design, the latency, the materials, everything really, my main gripe was the movement of the pen but i got quickly used to it and its never bothered me. I go everywhere and do everything with my note, board meeting presentations to sidewalk photography there's never a day a haven't got my wingman with me keeping me in check and on point. Keep up the good work Jaime. 🔥
