Is it easy to transport this phone every where with you ? I have A51 but i think i should buy an smaller phone ? I don't know buy a giant flagship or a compact phone please help me thank you 🙏

    I came back to Samsung after a 2year affair with Oneplus, Xiaomi, Sony, LG clones. Got Note20Ultra and Note20 for a start. Will look for foldables with spen later.

    Now the Exynos Note20Ultra is undoubtedly slower and choppier than 8Pro, Xperia5ii, ZFlip i used just recently. Despite the Exynos fraud commited on EU citizens by Samsung, the battery is pretty good, and i was scared of this mostly. Just root it and enjoy SOT and standby better than Note9, S10. At some point it felt like in low use i could get 3 days, but so far there's so much functionality I had no chance to keep the phone down.

    Regarding camera, I like 108mpix, massive influx of details. I don't like the classic smoothing of faces, digital sharpening, I often miss 8Pro realistic look. I despise Bokeh mode, the artifacts there are shocking. Really horrid portrait mode. I often have problem to focus, and I expect Note20 to be better for normal AUTO shooting. My cam also doesn't produce Motion Photo for some reason. Sometime it crashes, and OnePlus is easily way more stable and faster. Still i'm tired of those vanilla phones. Now that 9Pro costs huge money, it's dead to me. Next year you will have what.. OnePlus 10 with empty OS, same average camera, versus ZFlip3/Note21 with spen? Who on earth will choose OnePlus?:D Same goes for Xperia, the notification light and sd card geek gribes were cool, but there must some shocking change to come. Can't be paying for mediocrity anymore.

      I've liked Samsung for years, but now it's time to try something else.

      First of all, I bought Samsung Note 20 Ultra, I'm not liking it at all I've been using it for 2 months now. First of all, very expensive absolutely not worth the price.
      The phone is huge and delicate if you sneeze it scratches, Samsung phones have been delicate ever since but now they're just very weak they can't resist one fall, the pen is useless, the headphone jack is just annoying as hell, there's no point in copying Iphone otherwise we'd all move to Apple, at least give us the plug that transfers headphone jack to normal earphones!!!
      The phone is very huge, unsatisfying to carry or to use, yes it's fast it's powerful...etc. but I can't say huge step from previous Samsungs! The phone heats up immediately when I use it, the Google Voice assistant isn't quite working well, the fingerprint position is annoying like I don't understand why can't it be in the same button? ,face recognition and camera bar/code recognition are also bad.
      and the waterproof thing keeps downgrading in each Samsung, I used to swim with my S10, I splashed the Note 20 little bit and it stopped working for few days..
      I wish Samsung keeps making strong small phones, easy to carry, with normal headphone jack and sd card.
      Also I am pretty sure this Samsung won't survive 2 years that's just impossible for these phones to live that long, I've changed Samsung 3 times the past 5 years and all that time I'm still using the HTC 10 as my main, strong phone that I can rely on!!

        cybercatseto, 22 Mar 2021Note 9 is the last Note phone to have the headphone jack, s... morethanks, Mate. I finally bought the Note 20 ultra 5G. It should be a good phone to get support for at least 3-4 years. I gave up on the headphone jack as the phone comes with USB C headphones and not using the headphone jack recently.

          I have purchased the phone Note 20 Ultra 5G. I noticed there are two versions Vietnam and India so I opted for the Vietnam one as the Indian factory not sure if it started manufacturing high-end galaxy phones. Initially, I regretted it as I was thinking about the Note 9 but then Note 20 will be supported for further 3 years ahead, and probably no more Note coming this year due to chip supply. The phone is snappier than ever with the 1120Hz and the 12 GB RAM. The camera is good. What I hate is the fingerprint and iris sensor. Samsung is just simply terrible in this category. All manufacturers are way better than Samsung like Apple, Huawei, and Xiamoi, OnePlus, Oppo. I don't know why Samsung can't make a proper sensor. Obviously, I can't use any phone but Samsung due to the One UI as it is the best for me among all Android manufacturers and also having the Pen as there is no competitor for the Note in this category, not even the S21 Ultra. Battery Life is good and it lasts more than one day compared to my Note 9 which is barely one day. But I think Samsung needs improvement in this category as their batteries to start well at the beginning and then over time start to degrade. The camera bump is big (the new trend now like Apple and Xiamoi) so I bought a proper case from Amazon that protects the camera glass and obviously you can't find a glass screen protector. I respect Apple for making their phones flat.
          Hope I gave an overview of the phone and ready to answer anyone to be able to give value to this community.

              I don't know why people complain about samsung exynos and ui
              I've used oneplus 7 pro (aka the fastest ui) and its buggy after 1 month of no monthly patch
              Since switching to samsung I've not notice and ui lag, or throttle
              Its been solid and fluid
              I even compare the fastness of the phone to my previous one plus and I could feel the difference being big
              Battery life excellent
              This is my usage
              2hrs of gaming Pubg, call of duty
              3hrs of YouTube
              2 hrs of social media
              2 hrs of browsing
              All these at 120hz @1080p men! this is better than oneplus 6½ to 7 hrs screen on time

                    I am using this phone since last year August, so far found no issues with battery or performance. At start i felt like battery life is less however with passage of time it improved which I believe due to patch update.
                    For live buds, I generally get complaint that there is noise, other than that no issues.
                    This beast is best value for money for high end phones of similar specs.

However, the Note 20 Ultra does have the new (at the time) processor and can have their crazy 108MP camera and of course, if you use the S-Pen, it does have a faster response than the Note 9. So, it's really up to you if you want the headphone jack or the faster processor and faster pen

                                Goly, 21 Mar 2021I hope rhe next note will get a headphone jack, and that th... moreI doubt the headphone jack is coming back, but then I don't think they're gonna put the SD card slot because remember the Note 5? That was based on the S6 and that didn't have expandable storage, so as much as you want that, I don't think it's going to happen

                                  This phone is overall very excellent and desing is very awesome.
                                  But the battery life is much worse.
