Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G review

18 August 2020


Sort by:

I really have started to worry about the biasness about gsmarena reviews! Surely the note 20 ultra is a great phone, not for all however due to the hefty price tag. What disappoints me is the fact that lg v60 dual screen is missing from the comparison when it is an excellent device for multitasking!!!Seems like phones' greatness nowadays is measured only by the screen refresh rate and camera performance!!!

        Android.Master, 18 Aug 2020Samsung had 6 months to fix the issues of S20 ultra. Looks... moreYeah it should be illegal to scam people like that.

        Even the SD845 chip is much faster than the sh*tty E990 garbage.

          wasox, 18 Aug 2020You are just an ignorant geek-fanboy, although the exynos ... moreThe Exynos is complete garbage with much worse performance, photos, battery etc.
          It's a lower, midrange-chip that they have used in a premium flagship, charging a premium price for it.

          They should be sued for scamming customers like that. You cannot use lower, midrange chips in your flagships dude..

            Let me guess.

            DM has drooled all over the phone, like always.
            But I bet it has same issues to properly display some colours like all galaxy flagships since s7.
            The warm tones that show up even when cold WB is selected.

              I still missing notification LED and 3,5 mm jack. I'll hope my Note 8 will survive another year...

                Better get Xperia 1 ii or find x2 pro

                      nameless, 18 Aug 2020So, overall and simple conclusion for people in Europe: Not... moreYou are just an ignorant geek-fanboy, although the exynos id a little inferior to its snapdragon counterpart, by no means it is garbage, the exynos is a real capable powerhouse, whoever says otherwise, by calling it trash, garbage, useless, poor performer, etc, just shows how biased and blatantly ignorant is, ig thosr people so hate the exynos variants, then get the other one, or other device whatsoever, I have never thought about buying a kirin hi silicon equipped device, Thence, I avoid talking or criticizing it, as I simply don't care about them, all those ranting about thr exynos SOCS, in reality have never intended to get one samsung flagship device, just babble things they see in youtube, or other places, without ANY REAL Knowledge

                        Nick.B, 18 Aug 2020I have autofocus wide camera on my find x2pro, 12-bit color... moreThe sensor is able to provide 12-bit colour depth (not the first exmor to do it), but it will be converted to 8bit in the end. All phones do it for photos. Even if you try raw, it will happen.

                        By the way, its screen is 8+2 , exactly like OnePlus and Sony.
                        Samsung does not make mobile 10bit oled.
                        Just LG and chinese companies ....

                          nameless, 18 Aug 2020So, overall and simple conclusion for people in Europe: Not... morePlease don’t listen to all these funny comments. This is a wonderful phone whether it uses snapdragon or Exynos. Don’t fall into the trap of all these influencers. That’s how they earn their money. I am using this phone and it is phantastic, full stop.

                            I have autofocus wide camera on my find x2pro, 12-bit color camera on main (custom made only for find x2pro) sensor, 1 billion color screen, and other pros over note20ultra.
                            65w charging. check my custom main sensor on my 900 eur phone (check note20ultra price later): """"Sony IMX689 sensor, 1/1.4" sensor size, f/1.7 aperture, 7P lens, All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF, Dual Native ISO, 12-bit True Capture, Ultra Night Mode 3.0, Live HDR Video, Ultra Steady Video"""""""""

                            My car is very specific black color (has pearls in it and changes with light) with red stuff (small ones) around the car just to make capturing the perfect colors harder.
                            I shot her with many top phones. But nothing compares to how real all the colors go on a photo taken with my find x2 pro. You gotta see and try to realize what this phone can capture(and many other things not just shoot), also fastest phone to date (before 865+), it's a march 2020 phone af!

                            I will stick with it at least 2 months until mate40pro, or at worse until find x3 pro
                            and it's 900eur device at 512gb 12gb, 512gb 12gb note20ultra is like 1450 eur. that's 550 eur difference!!! and even the screen is (yes a little) worse then mine. except a little bigger and bonus s-pen

                            If I was samsung fan I was sold and went directly to store and order note20ultra though. very hard try from samsung congratulations

                                  Dometalican, 18 Aug 2020I agree. I would scream if HTC used Sharp's IGZO Pro O... moreSharp stopped making oled for mobile last year.
                                  Not enough sales.
                                  Less than 400.000 panels sold.

                                    So, overall and simple conclusion for people in Europe: Note 20 Ultra with Exynos is complete garbage compared to Snapdragon variant...Europeans should boycott Samsung and make them to apologise for selling this sh.t in their continent.

                                      "But the Note20 Ultra is the most complete Galaxy and very likely the most complete smartphone you can buy right now. If your latest bank statement signs off on it, so do we."

                                      The most complete smartphone right now ;) that burns the haters so bad

                                        4.6 out of 5 sounds about right and saying its the most perfect smartphone right now is true had mines for a few days and im loving it.

                                        Well done Samsung for an amazing camera setup, the Stylus, solid battery life, amazing display.

                                        Cant wait to see what Samsung do in the next 2 or 3 years. I rather buy the 512gb Note 20 Ultra 5g for £1249 than a 512gb iphone 11 Pro Max which costs £1449 here in the UK.
