The Samsung Note20, like all devices from Samsung, is loaded with apps that you cannot deny permissions to or remove. My devices (Note20, Galaxy 10, Tab A) were all hacked and I physically had to wrestle control of my phone back from someone connected on the backend. It took several minutes before they gave up and I was able to disconnect from the network and restart. Samsung Customer Support told me, on a recorded line, that I "agreed to the terms" and "nobody made (me) buy the phone".
The Contacts app does not sync, will not import, and says in the "About Contacts" that it is not connected to a network. Samsung Technical Support went through deleting cache with me, but that did not work. I was told the only other option is to do a hard reset. I'm not interested in spending hours resetting up my device and going back in to dozens of apps to remove permissions that Samsung gives themselves. Most of them are greyed out anyway where I have no choice in what they have access to.
I will never buy another Samsung device as long as these spy, data theft, and control tactics continue. I've been using Galaxy devices for more than a decade. It's a shame.

I really find this phone a missed opportunity. I'm still okay with having a plastic back panel because I use a phone casing anyway. But the screen is not significantly smaller than the Note20 Ultra, which is rather ironic because the Note10 has a much smaller 6.3" screen compared to the Note10+'s 6.8" screen. At 6.7", it is exactly the same screen size as the S20+ and that phone has a 120Hz screen refresh rate albeit at 1080p and microSD card support. Unless if I care about having a stylus on a smartphone, it's hard to see the appeal of buying this smartphone.

Battery endurance is pathetic for a phone of this sort. I somewhat regret having bought it. I am not a gamer nor use the phone to watch movies, yet it barely makes the day. On the other side, it is very heavy for having such a horrible battery. And it DOES feel heavy and uncomfortable in the hand. My Galaxy Note8 and Galaxy Note10, both with significantly smaller batteries give better results and feel solo much better in the hands. Unusable expensive excrement, which is a pity because I'm not too happy about having just Chinese phones in the market.

For how expensive the phone is. It feels cheap, and the usbc come out so easily when using it while cable charging.

I have found it to be a very frustrating phone, battery does not last, charging is a problem constantly giving warning about moisture detected and can't charge. Therefore my overall rating is that this is a useless but expensive piece of work....

The Critic, 19 Aug 2020i really fed up of people only bitching about lack of 3.5mm... moreIt seems everyone has a different use for a smartphone, I've been selling phones since the very beginning of the analog handsets so yes do your homework and don't complain, I just upgraded to the note 20 5g snapdragon from the note 8, only because the battery life started to dissipate and I wanted the newest version of the Android updates, so far so good, I'll have this for a couple years like the note 8.
Samsung is top notch build quality.

TPAA, 06 Oct 2020You go on the plane. They tell passengers to put your phone... moreBluetooth does work, first put in airplane mode (which does turn eveything off), but you can then turn bluetooth back on. Voila! No issues.

I do prefer the Snapdragon chipsets bcuz i once ran 3DMark on both phones with full charge. I got like 50 fps on the 7 pro and like 24 fps on the a50 and at the same time that a50 lost significantly more battery. I know its not the most accurate, but it gave me a sense for the performance overall
