Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Green SM-N981BZGGNZO review
The Galaxy Note 20 will not be remembered as a high point for the Note series. It loses out on too many of the higher-end elements of Galaxy phones without a commensurate drop in cost.- Fun-to-use cameras
- S-Pen is excellent for digital drawing
- Powerful
- even if it's beaten by the competition
- Mediocre battery life
- 60Hz phone in a 90/120Hz world
- Flat glass front
- plastic back
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Green SM-N981BZGGNZO review
The Note 20 takes Samsung's phablet formula and strips away some of the flagship sheen....- Good all-round camera performance Vibrant
- flat display Solid performance Reasonable battery life Sleek overall design S Pen still ace
- Overpriced Glasstic isn't fantastic 60Hz hurts Awkward speaker placement Gets hot No expandable storage
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Green SM-N981BZGGNZO 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.- Accurate exposure in bright to moderate lighting
- Accurate white balance
- color rendering in stills
- High stills detail
- especially in bright light
- Wide ultra-wide field of view
- Good depth estimation and blur quality in portrait mode
- Good video exposure
- Video detail high and noise low in bright...
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Dual SIM 5G (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 5G Mystic Mint SM-N981BZGGNZO review
At least before the onset of the comet-like price decline, my first impression is that there is only one reason to buy the Galaxy Note 20 - if you really want that S-Pen badly and you're a huge Samsung fan anyway.- Great high-end hardware
- Sophisticated S-pen control
- Trendy design
- Hefty launch price
- Space Zoom ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

The South Korean giant’s latest Note is good, but not quite gold standard...
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Mint SM-N981BZGGNZO review
The Galaxy Note 20 is Samsung's new entry-level stylus-included smartphone for 2020, but it's one that doesn't seem particularly exciting for the usual Note-loving crowd. It highlights some more affordable features compared to its more exciting Ultra sibling but it may well be just as good for those...- Strong camera spec
- Improved S Pen
- No curved edge
- Weirdly low-spec screen
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Green SM-N981BZGGNZO review
In the last year or so, Samsung has started splitting up its flagship experience with new "Ultra" devices. At first, it seemed like these new, higher-end phones simply had more and better stuff to elevate them further, but with the new Note20 series, I think it's clear Samsung is intentionally...- Software OneUI is pleasant to use now (even if Samsung's stock launcher is still derpy)
- Size and shape Samsung made a flat screen work at this size without being awkward or unwieldy
- Performance This is a very fast phone
- Battery life Ridiculously good.
- Screen Low-res for the size and price, just 60Hz
- No expandable storage The baby version loses out on the microSD slot
- S Pen is on the wrong side Unless you're left-handed, it's annoying taking the S Pen out from the left side.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G Mystic Green SM-N981BZGGNZO review
So let's do a recap of what we like about the Galaxy Note 20. We really liked the low-key design, S Pen, Samsung Notes app, the battery longevity, and camera performance. It's too bad the display doesn't have a 120Hz refresh rate though, and some of you may have wished it wasn't made mostly out of...
