Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 12GB 256GB
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra might look like a smartphone, but there is so much power in it that it operates like a computer. And then, there's the magic pen!
The most powerful pen: One of the most obvious features of the Note 20 Ultra is the S Pen. Samsung says this is Galaxy's most powerful pen and with it comes "groundbreakingly low latency", Bluetooth, enhanced gesture control and more, for a more realistic pen experience. The S Pen is capable of transforming your scribble into text which you can copy and paste, and then you can export your notes as a PPT or Word file for easy sharing.
Some notable numbers: The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is 5G ready, with 256GB Storage (expandable to 1TB) and a highly-efficient 4500mAh Battery with more than 50% charge in 30 minutes thanks to the 25W Super Fast Charger.
An awesome display: As you'd expect, the display is something to behold. A 6.9" edge Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O Display with 120Hz refresh rate for perfectly seamless viewing.
World-leading cameras: The camera set up is another Samsung special: 12MP Ultra-Wide + 108MP Wide + 12MP Telephoto Cameras with Laser AF Sensor and up to 50x Super Resolution Zoom. On the front is a 10MP Selfie Camera
Highest resolution video: The 8K video recording at 24fps (7680x4320) is the highest-resolution video available in a smartphone. The pro-grade controls let you be super creative with your footage which you can edit in-camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G review: The conqueror
Go big or go home. That’s always been Samsung’s motto with the Galaxy Note series, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is its biggest effort yet. The screen is even larger than last year’s Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and there’s also more power, more features, and more technology — all aimed at improving productivity and increasing its media capabilities.
