Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review

The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is a great device that makes refinements over past Note devices while also bringing smooth performance, fun to use S Pen and a higher price tag.

Great display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Long battery life, Quick performance thanks to 12GB of RAM, S Pen works great, Great camera with Pro Camera and Video Modes, Large storage options plus a microSD card slot, 5G support

The in-display fingerprint sensor doesn’t work all the time, More expensive than previous models, 50x Zoom is better than 100x Space Zoom but still not great

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is big, bold and brash. It features almost every top-end spec you could want on a premium smartphone, and going on first impressions it looks capable of competing with the cream of the Android crop and Apple’s best iPhones, although we’ll need to test it more...

Top of the line specs; Strong design

Big for the hand; Oddly dated ‘fast’ charging tech

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a good chance of being at the top of the list of the best smartphones of 2020, and the hardware is fantastic, and Samsung has also done a great job on the software side, especially when it comes to security features and S-pen operation.

Successful camera setup; Unbeatable pen handling; Great; high-end equipment; Chic design (new colors!)

Incredibly expensive; Stupid marketing

A faster processor and upgraded stylus is all Samsung can muster in these strange times...
