Curved display causes false touches; Expensive; Battery life 'good enough'

After nearly 10 years at the cutting edge, the Samsung Galaxy Note series is still on top of its game. Yes, it's easy to see the Note 20 Ultra as "just another Note" - but that's because it's got so much right. It now comes with better note-taking experiences thanks to that integrated S Pen stylus and a better screen experience too. If only that rear camera and 5G-boosted price point were a little less in your face and the battery lasted longer per charge.

The Galaxy Note line from Samsung is a great example of gadgets for which you don’t ask whether people ‘want’ it. After 10 odd years of Galaxy Notes — and the company has hiked prices every year — it’s evident that this particular stylus-wielding phone has takers, and millions of them.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G represents the apex of the brand’s technological prowess with one of the best displays in the market, an excellent set of cameras and an upgraded S Pen stylus shoehorned into a beautiful casing.

A beautiful phone with a great camera and smart pen integration, though it’s undeniably held back by inconsistent heat management and middling battery life.
