      Seems like a good enough update over my Note9 (which still goes strong), and since my country will get the Snapdragon version, I'll buy it... in a year, when will be affordable for me.

        glass on note20ultra,,plastic on note20.. really? even though it is not technically plastic, consumer will feel like it is plastic.

            One would think a more durable material would be considered premium, but that's not how marketing works. They make you believe that glass is premium material because is shiny and pretty. Form over functionality at its best.

                dear samsung, thank you for lowering price of note20..I have always wanted note with Spen..and now finally getting it!

                  Samsung should be disappointed in themselves for this..

                  S20 series was an upgrade, but the designs were trash.
                  Note 20 ultra has some solid upgrades and the designs for the series have been a great improvement. But the specs for the note 20nare so sad.

                    lousy after sales customer service. my note 10+ will be my last samsung phone

                      Note 20 Ultra? If not for S-pen, it is disappointing
                      Note 20? Dead on arrival with that price

                        Shui8, 05 Aug 2020Yes. LiDAR > ToF > Laser AF. Weird that Samsung... moreThat's a stupid comment.
                        ToF can assist in focus if it's specially made to do it but still Laser AF is far better than ToF.

                          I was wrong. Looks like Samsung is dumb enough to keep the name Exynos 990 in their Note 20 series.
                          RIP SAMSUNG !

                            was hoping to buy the note 20 ultra....not happening. Samsung 2020 phones = big fail. Nothing innovative, ridiculous price tag.
                            Where is that alcohol breathalyser on the pen, the patent you filed for ? Now that would be useful.
                            108mgpx and does not focus properly?!
                            990 and bad battery life?!
                            10mgpx selfie cam?!
                            at £1200 I want to be blown away
                            Samsung, please... get real.

                                Shui8, 05 Aug 2020Nope. ToF method were just like a spotlight to sense depth ... moreBehind the lens, there is a ToF sensor.
                                Made by Sony.
                                ToF can easily be used as sort of radar.
                                Also ToF can measure shape of objects, distances etc ...

                                  balthazar, 05 Aug 2020They could have kept their schedule how they did it back in... moreNote has been announced in August for years already.
                                  They would never push 1 or 2 months just to use android 11.

                                  Also, if they ship with 11, people will demand android 13.
                                  Note always has same updates of S series.
                                  If S20 does not get 13, Note will not as well.

Mystic Bronze is just another Rose Gold and Mystic Green is Forest Green. Even the back seems to be frosted finish while the camera housing is shiny like the iPhone 11 Pro 🤣

                                        That camera bump though.
