The S Pen-equipped Galaxy Note 20 strips away some key features from the larger model in exchange for a lower price, but gets a bit lost in Samsung's crowded 2020 phone lineup in the process. "I want the phone with the pen." That's what you hear at my house, full of artists: They want the phone with Samsung's S Pen stylus. If that's all you want, then the Galaxy Note 20 is a fine way to get one. The $999.99 Note 20 isn't as good as the $1,399.99 Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, most notably in terms of camera and display. But it's the phone with the pen that costs less than $1,000, and that will be good enough for some people. That said, I can't help but feel there's not enough here to stand out among Samsung's myriad phone releases this year.Flat Front, Round Pen The Galaxy Note 20 comes in bronze, gray, or green. At 6.3 by 3.0 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 6.8 ounces, it's not a small phone and will be too wide for many people to use one-handed.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 review

It’s easy to love the Note 20’s S-Pen and the fun versatility of its triple-camera array. But its short battery life is testing, as is the sense that Samsung is really seeing how much profit it can squeeze out of each sale with this one, more so than usual.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 4G Mystic Green SM-N980FZGGNZO review

Samsung’s Galaxy Note20 is the company’s mainstream phablet, situated below the Galaxy Note20 Ultra. As in the world of Apple, though, “mainstream” is relative here, with the Note20’s specs (and price) drifting towards the high end of the spectrum.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Dual SIM (8GB RAM, 256GB, Mystic Grey) - BRAND NEW review

Wow, Samsung has taken a downward plummet with this one. Plastic fantastic, no removable storage and a screen that's a step backwards from the Note 9! Definitely will be my last Samsung product

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 4G Mystic Mint SM-N980FZGGNZO review
