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 Mystic Black SM-N986BZKGNZO review
The Galaxy Note is an unusual smartphone for one reason, and one reason only in 2020: its stylus, the beloved S Pen. And while everything else about it feels incredibly familiar, it's impossible to deny that no other phone can scratch the very particular itch Samsung does with the Note.- Display It's huge, it's bright, it's vivid, and has adaptive 120Hz refresh. In any practical sense, this is the best smartphone display on the planet right now., S Pen Lowering the latency to 9ms has a noticeable effect, and makes the S Pen feel significantly more realistic to scribble with (even if...
- Cameras, again Samsung's processing is not for everyone, and while the periscope camera is good, it still has drawbacks, like its strangely soft optics. The 50x zoom claim is also nonsense.

Samsung Galaxy Note series has always been the best of what the company got to offer. And with the Galaxy Note 20 series-- Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, it’s the same story.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Mystic White SM-N986BZWGNZO review
While the Note 20 Ultra 5G doesn't offer a huge leap forward from existing Notes and Galaxy S phones, it comes packed with the best specs around, is beautifully designed, and has one key feature that you can't really find anywhere else – that useful S Pen stylus.- Packed with powerful components

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Mystic White SM-N986BZWGNZO review
But if you want all of its features, or even just want the S Pen stylus, it’s probably worth it – few phones offer an experience close to this, and it’s a big upgrade on the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20.- Great zoom capabilities
- S Pen stylus is useful
- Top screen
- Very expensive
- Can't have QHD+ and 120Hz simultaneously
- Doesn't use the best Android chipset

- The Size Can Be Awkward, On The Expensive Side, The Camera Bump
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (256GB, Black) AU - Excellent review
While the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra isn’t a bad phone by any stretch of the imagination, it is lacking that very thing, something the Galaxy Note was once known for. Simply put, Samsung has lost its imagination in the Note range, and while these were once among the most exciting of Samsung’s smartphones,...- Beautiful screen, Supports WiFi 6 and 5G, Fast 120Hz screen, Camera can be very good, S-Pen supports more remote functionality, handy if you use your phone like a computer, Water resistance, Wireless charging
- Huge, Camera bump is thick and noticeable, Camera can also have some real misses, S-Pen upgrades are virtually nil, and largely irrelevant if you don't want to use it as a remote, Not a lot of differences to the S20 Ultra, and that's not necessarily a good thing, The first "Note" model that lacks...
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Mystic White SM-N986BZWGNZO review
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is Samsung’s best phone to date, but it launches at a time when expensive superphones look like lavish exuberance, not must-haves. That’s not to say the £1,179 price-tag is actually that expensive in the high-priced world of top-end smartphones that scale to £2,000.
