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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- $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

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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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

- Performance
Cons:
- Battery Life
- Software

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.
Pros:
- Great zoom capabilities
- S Pen stylus is useful
- Top screen
Cons:
- Very expensive
- Can't have QHD+ and 120Hz simultaneously
- Doesn't use the best Android chipset

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’.
Pros:
- 5x camera zoom crushes it
- New useful S Pen features
- The best screen on a phone
Cons:
- ‘Ultra’ expensive
- Slower charging
- Photos still exhibit smoothing

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G Mystic Black SM-N985FZKGNZO review
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the new super-premium S Pen-wielding smartphone by Samsung. It’s an extra large phone with a huge camera bump, plus it’s heavier than before and it barely fits in a pocket.
Pros:
- Beautiful styling
- luxurious feel
- Super smooth and snappy performance
- Excellent camera quality for both photos and videos (auto-focus issue is fixed)
- The biggest improvement to the S Pen so far
- Outstanding 6.9” AMOLED screen
- Cool features like Wireless DeX
Cons:
- $1,300 starting price is a bit too much
- Gigantic size might be a turn off for some
- no smaller model available
- Battery life is just okay
- 120Hz takes a toll
- No headphones in the box
