However, if you are not a big fan/user of spen, my suggestion would be go for s21ultra. S21ultra have better hw, better display, better camera and one year more sw update..

Philp, 28 Sep 2021Should I buy the note 20 ultra 5g or the s21 ultra 5g ? Tha... moreNote 20 ultra, since it has a micro SD slot. You're gonna regret not being able to pack tons of movies and games onto your phone if you get the s21. With the note 20 ultra you can do your thing, fill up the internal storage with movies and games you want to stay on it permanently and then put everything else on your micro SD card, heck I'd you want you can even get a few small micro SD cards or 2 really big ones and you'll have a movie theater on the go in your pocket. With SD cards you can out triple A titles on the phone, things that you can't get on Netflix and entire shows. With the s21 ultra you're just gonna be full of regerts. :) So don't do it bcuz regerts...

The spec sheet for Note 20 Ultra 5G is wrong with at least a single parameter, which is the internal memory type (UFS 3.0 listed instead of UFS 3.1 which is the memory type used in this phone).
Sadly there is no hurry to fix the mistake, i've reported it few days ago and there is no change yet here. It's not hard to re-check if the report is true so i doubt there will be any change soon with wrong UFS type listed.
Other than that i can say that the phone is decent since i have it for a year now, unfortunately it's EU version with Exynos 990 so it's shitty in performance compared to OnePlus 8 Pro i use for my mobile gaming [way better screen than in Note 20 Ultra 5G with 1bilion color screen (16mil in note) and 120hz mode working with 1440p resolution (instead of 120hz@1080p on the note), Snapdragon 865+ is way cooler(& faster) than exynos990 in gaming and the only downside is UFS 3.0 memory (also cameras are not as good as 108mpix module & internal memory isn't expendable with microsd so the Note 20 Ultra is better for daily use for these who're not playing on the phone. I wish it was as responsible as Oneplus 8 Pro is but large number of Samsung software in OneUI is slowing it down a lot]. I can recommend Note 20 Ultra 5G but only with Snapdragon 865+, exynos990 is a joke and should be heavily discounted to the snapdragon version because of the problems it causes with worse thermal performance causing overheating way sooner than Snap865+ version. The S Pen stylus is a great addition which i often use so it was an obvious choice for me after previous Note 7, Note 9 & Note 10.1 2014edition. If somebody is not planning to use S Pen then there are better phones to buy for sure but i can tell that it's hard to miss some productivity features that S Pen offer, like "inteligent selection" or translation that works pretty much i all apps. Air gestures are almost useless so upgrading from Note 9 just for new pen features would be pointless, the only real good feature with BT module in stylus is taking a photo from the distance with the button on the S Pen but this feature was already in Note 9. So if you're just looking for S Pen features it's easy to recommend buying older and used model for a fraction of the new one price since it's still good enough in terms of performance to use in 2021. Note 20 Ultra 5G is overpriced (or at least was at release date) so unless you're looking for great photo module and S Pen then recommending it (especially Exynos 990 version) is hard. Only the Snapdragon version is worth recommending...

My phone was working, receiving calls too, but black screen of death. After some tinkering I decided to try using dex with the USB cord. DeX worked then the screen came on. Try plugging in to use dex (not wireless DeX, wireless DeX needs you to start up from the phone)

I have been a samsung note user for the last 11 years , 5 months ago I bought the note 20 ultra 5g ,Snapdragon,today I got the black screen of death , the phone is working but no display,just a black screen , took it to a samsung Center and they said they can't fix it because they don't have the compatible parts ,since it's a snap Dragon (American version) and they only have parts for international version here (exynox), and since it's still under warranty I contacted the supplier and they said they will be collecting it in the next 3 days ,either to repair or replace or refund it ,now back to using my note 8 which has a cracked screen on 2 corners ,(working fine btw if not for overheating and quick battery drainage ), eventho I love the note series I'm disappointed with the note 20 that I'm hoping for a refund .

Maggi, 13 Sep 2021Its not dumb as you say. Exynos model is good. Like I say ... moreWhatever, Maggie just because both of these chipsets are good, doesn't really mean it's good or bad, it depends on your preference on either a bug or a feature that's causing it to happen!
iPhone is surely the best spot to go with, other than samsung, which has bloatwares that people complains about! Apple does allow you to delete their own apps, though you can keep them in a folder on the second page when not using them!
It's hard to tell, but both of them are really good!

Great phone. I love the screen size and the rectangle shape. The only thing I don't love about it is the fact that you can only use 1 brand of tempered glass screen protector if you want to use the finger print sensor, no other brand works which in my opinion is a huge misstep by Samsung, i mean why would design a phone with a finger print sensor that only work with one brand of screen protector. Personally i think Samsung and Whitestone are in cahoots. I really hope Samsung releases a Note 22 Ultra next year, if they do then I will most likely get it, if not then I'll probably go with a Pixel 6 Pro.

Exynos processor in note 20 ultra is not good. Heating & rapid drainage of battery is a great issue. Samsung should be more innovative about it.

Other than the exynos models, some liked it, while others have had any more of an issue with the exynos model!
Hopefully we shall see an improvement soon!
