Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Bronze SM-N985FZNGNZO review

- Vibrant 6.9-inch 120Hz display
- Solid battery life
- Improved S Pen
- Most powerful Android processor
- Pricey
- Huge camera bump
- Facial recognition fails at times
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra checks off a lot of bests for new phones in 2020, including the best camera on an Android phone and the best-looking display on any phone, period. This is the only stylus-included handset we recommend, and while the competition is thin, it’s not undeserved – you’re just going to have to pay a heap of money for this powerful ‘everything phone’.- 5x camera zoom crushes it
- New useful S Pen features
- The best screen on a phone
- ‘Ultra’ expensive
- Slower charging
- Photos still exhibit smoothing
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G represents the apex of the brand’s technological prowess with one of the best displays in the market, an excellent set of cameras and an upgraded S Pen stylus shoehorned into a beautiful casing.Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review
In a year when mid-range devices like the Pixel 4a and OnePlus Nord have been getting a lot more attention than usual, Samsung has just released the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. If you’re looking for a pragmatic device that offers a decent value proposition, this isn’t the phone for you.- S Pen

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra feels a lot like a phone for the one percent -- and not just because it's expensive. It's because the things the Note 20 Ultra excels at, like note-taking tools and wireless desktop features won't really matter to most people.- Big fantastic screen
- Excellent battery life
- Top-of-the-range performance
- Writing with the S Pen feels more immediate
- Some new S Pen features are thoughtful
- It’s expensive even by flagship standards
- “Anywhere Actions” need some fine-tuning
- Wireless DeX can be hit-or-miss
- Cameras are solid but inconsistent

This year's Note device once again features the best smartphone screen currently available- 120hz variable refresh rate display is stunning
- Overall design looks great
- Upgrades to S Pen latency are impressive
- Camera bump is still massive
- Expensive
- More flex to back than S10+
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review: Amazing features, but is anyone a 'power user' anymore?
Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is possibly the right phone in the wrong situation. The newest power phone is too expensive for a steep global recession, and its feature set will be too much for many. If you're looking for Samsung's new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to be a do-everything phone, you won't be disappointed. Like other Note phones that came before it, the Note 20 Ultra is aimed at a rarified group of Android "power users" who want a phone with all the toys and aren't afraid of a higher price tag. With the Ultra, there's plenty of both.- Sleek lines, matte bronze finish
- Exceptional screen quality and 120Hz refresh rate
- 5x optical zoom captures sharp photos in ample light
- S Pen creates standout opportunities for using the phone
- $1,300 is too expensive right now
- A large, heavy, awkward phone
- Unsightly camera bump that invites breakage
- Note 20 Ultra rocks when you lay it down flat
