        No 16gb Ram with 512gb memory and no 100X zoom or 3X optical zoom or xenon flash.

          One of the main reason for me in returning the N10+ for the N20U in the UK is that the N10+ speaker vibrates like crazy against the back panel due to hardware design, it's very frustrating in every day use. The N20U only vibrates very little at max volume. N10+ vibrates a lot even at 20% volume, max vol is unbearable. I would advise that you add this on your verdict. Its a deal broker for many!

            Hello, i am writing this letter from iran; years ago, we could provide the average conditions for buying a mobile phone that we liked or was just entering the market with a slight delay in purchase; but now due to the very very difficult financial situation and having a bad mobile buying economy
            samsung galaxy note20 ultra 5g is an unattainable dream for me.
            extremely beautiful, especially when placed next to the watch and handsfree and its accessories, it shows itself with indescribable pride 😍😍😍

              I bought the Ultra model 4G variant as 5G coverage is still useless in many areas in Dubai. It's Exynos, 8GB, which neither this site nor Samsung are mentioning (found out after i bought) 512GB memory. The battery sucks, 10% per hour(discharge) and a maximum of 3.5hrs screen on time with 120Hz on and 30% brightness. On 60Hz you get 5hrs screen on time. All thw claims of more tham that for SOT are not counting the time from the discharge but between 12 am to 12 am, whic also counts the SOT from before you start charging and while charging. Horrible phone.

                Anonymous, 29 Aug 2020Mocked this phone until I tried it , nothing comes close to... moreSame here bro, at least on the Exynoses in my region, but damn did I get a sweet discount on the vanilla s20 5g and ye I'm lovin' it, everything else is smooth except the selfie camera (video calls) tint the image quite funky sometimes.
                Dont mind the general bashing on Samsam tho as they need to step up their processor game big time and stop taking good features off and replacing them with some gimmicky bs as most AR stuff, reverse charging and other such none really use.
                Same goes for Apple too. In general appeal, the Apple "premium" status has worn off in at least Europe many years ago, with them lacking in quality control and following other companies doing the intresting innovating nowadays. They are more about subscription services and stealing money from the rich to the more rich, themselves, but hey why bother when u won already i quess?
                The Chinese phones, especially Huawei, would be technically wiping the floor with both of them if El Presidente de US wouldnt have served some sour Nokia fate that way; death by non-existant software on sweet devices. But then again communists ain't supposed to get rich, no?

                    ello fellow OP 8 Pro user. we have a lot of the same traits lol. the last good Samsung phone was either S10 or Note 10. those phones gave something new. these new phones give us Exynos with nothing to differentiate them. at this point my Top 5 phone list goes

                    - Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (great phone, just have to do some tweaking with importing it etc.)
                    - Oneplus 8 Pro (bae)
                    - Oppo Find X2 Pro (OP 8 Pro with “vegan leather” (we know it’s plastic, but still cool) and better camera)
                    - Sony Xperia I II (very underrated phone)
                    - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (no longer in 1st or 2nd, I’m sorry man)
                    after that probs iPhone 11 Pro Max, Asus Zenfone 7 Pro, and Huawei P40 Pro+

                    wait I got a bit off track lol

                    what I’m trying to say is - Samsung is being less and less innovative. it’s getting to the point where Samsung will be the new target for “overpriced” phones. And while they’re not at that point yet, I won’t be surprised if they will in the future. ofc people will stick to Samsung like they stick to apple, since they’re the global smartphone leader. their phones are still good, but that won’t be the case for much longer

                    btw my opinion yours can be different
                    this isn’t a hate train against Samsung, so any Samsung fanboys keep your pitchforks down low thx
                    it’s just a friendly discussion

                      I have a Note 20 5g and have found that the ANYWHERE Actions don't work at all. I spent more than an hour on the phone with Samsung Tech support, but nothing we did worked. They just gave up. I do agree that actions such as back, home, recent are really not much of interest. Assigning theses to launch an App could be useful. I have found that scrolling as an air action using Chrome does not work, but it does using Samsung Internet browser.

                          Very poor battery life. While charging if use mobile it will start discharge. Very sad status.

                            Get my Note20 Ultra 5G on 25 August. But have to send it back to services centre yesterday, due to burn screen. Samsung SC cannot calibrate,and suggest to change screen. What a pain..🤬

                              Samsung its unethical to put a slightly lower performing chip in some regions and charge the same price.

                              Instead put snapdragon on all ultra phones.

                              Exnos on all others.

                                This is an excessively overpriced phone for the (fewer) features it provides. Too many compromises on that count. Along with price, the only things increasing with each new iteration are the number of cameras on the phone, their capabilities and the display.

                                    Until Samsung brings back the iris scanner and 35mm jack, I will keep using my Note9. When it finally dies, I'll just buy another Note9. Right now I don't care about 5G, powershare, ultracameras or stupid pricing. I just love my complete Note9 because it gets the job done and I love Samsung Pay on it.

                                    Side note: I was gonna get a galaxy watch 3 but I found out it has no MST, only NFC. No way I'll pay so much for so little. Samsung pay(MST/NFC) is my only reason for a smartwatch.

                                    Iris scan unlock is not perfect but it is the best method for contactless payment and unlock. I don't need to take off my gloves in winter to unlock my phone or type pin/password. I just glance and, boom, it is done. Same for using Samsung pay. Release and activate with iris scan. Oh well! Someone very wise in Samsung management decided to remove such a useful feature and keep gimmicks and crap feature AR Doodle. Well done!

                                    Also I think, slowly but surely, Samsung is going the way of Nokia, HTC, Blackberry and Sony. How hard is it to give the exact same specs and features to both big and small Note 20s. If my phone is gonna cost above $1000, it had better have everything plus the kitchen sink and the dishwasher. Bad decisions and inability to see what people want will see a fall in demand. Market share decay will see to the rest.
