Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review: A love note to Note lovers
- Giant, gorgeous screen, fast processor, and great battery life
- Mystic Bronze is the new pinnacle in phone colors
- Lower S Pen latency makes a huge difference
- Laser autofocus is the fastest I've ever used in a phone
- Extremely expensive with less storage than the Note 10+
- Might be too big for some pockets
- Can get hot during heavy loads
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G delivers in every aspect. As a premium phone, it delivers power, style and an absolutely phenomenal screen. As a gaming device, it will definitely pair nicely with the future that publishers such as Xbox are laying down.- The Beautiful AMOLED Display, Performance Is Top Notch, Cameras Cater To Most Type Of Shots, S-Pen Improvements
- The Size Can Be Awkward, On The Expensive Side, The Camera Bump
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 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 4G Mystic White SM-N985FZWGNZO 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
- Giant
- gorgeous-looking screen
- The S Pen continues to improve
- Costs a lot of money
- Huge camera bump
- Stock Android still superior
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic White SM-N985FZWGNZO 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
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review
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 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 camera is an incremental improvement of the great camera platform introduced with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, with noticeable improvements in low-light and zoom photography.- Excellent colors and, Incredible details, Natural color hues, Noticeably better noise-reduction vs
- S20U, Excellent details preservation, The best zoom tested to date, Fewer filtering artefacts than competitors, Wider angle than some competitors, Excellent daylight quality
- A 27MP resolution option would be great
- Slow shutter speed
- Nothing obvious
- Not the absolute best in low-light
Galaxy Note20 Ultra long-term review: A (physically) massive success
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.
