The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra might look like a smartphone, but there is so much power in it that it operates like a computer. And then, there's the magic pen!
The most powerful pen: One of the most obvious features of the Note 20 Ultra is the S Pen. Samsung says this is Galaxy's most powerful pen and with it comes "groundbreakingly low latency", Bluetooth, enhanced gesture control and more, for a more realistic pen experience. The S Pen is capable of transforming your scribble into text which you can copy and paste, and then you can export your notes as a PPT or Word file for easy sharing.
Some notable numbers: The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is 5G ready, with 256GB Storage (expandable to 1TB) and a highly-efficient 4500mAh Battery with more than 50% charge in 30 minutes thanks to the 25W Super Fast Charger.
An awesome display: As you'd expect, the display is something to behold. A 6.9" edge Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O Display with 120Hz refresh rate for perfectly seamless viewing.
World-leading cameras: The camera set up is another Samsung special: 12MP Ultra-Wide + 108MP Wide + 12MP Telephoto Cameras with Laser AF Sensor and up to 50x Super Resolution Zoom. On the front is a 10MP Selfie Camera
Highest resolution video: The 8K video recording at 24fps (7680x4320) is the highest-resolution video available in a smartphone. The pro-grade controls let you be super creative with your footage which you can edit in-camera.
Manufacturer: Samsung
Features like the 120Hz display are fantastic and with Adaptive mode, you can enjoy it on the Note 20 Ultra without sabotaging your battery life, which is exactly the sort of refinement Note fans have waited for.
Versatile camera with excellent video; Vibrant 6.9-inch 120Hz display; Solid battery life; Improved S Pen; Most powerful Android processor
Pricey; Huge camera bump; Facial recognition fails at times
It's a really nice phone, feels nice to hold, is very fast and responsive, and has a very good battery life. I like the fact that you can use the s pen to capture photos if you're unable to reach the camera shutter button.
I'm not a fan of the fingerprint sensor being built into the screen, because once you put a glass screen protector on the phone, it's unusable. A fingerprint sensor on the side would have been better. Aside from that, and the phone being a little bit heavy, I have no complaints.
The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is a great device that makes refinements over past Note devices while also bringing smooth performance, fun to use S Pen and a higher price tag.
Great display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Long battery life, Quick performance thanks to 12GB of RAM, S Pen works great, Great camera with Pro Camera and Video Modes, Large storage options plus a microSD card slot, 5G support
The in-display fingerprint sensor doesn’t work all the time, More expensive than previous models, 50x Zoom is better than 100x Space Zoom but still not great
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G represents the apex of the brand’s technological prowess with one of the best displays in the market, an excellent set of cameras and an upgraded S Pen stylus shoehorned into a beautiful casing.
In a year when mid-range devices like the Pixel 4a and OnePlus Nord have been getting a lot more attention than usual, Samsung has just released the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. If you’re looking for a pragmatic device that offers a decent value proposition, this isn’t the phone for you.

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra feels a lot like a phone for the one percent -- and not just because it's expensive. It's because the things the Note 20 Ultra excels at, like note-taking tools and wireless desktop features won't really matter to most people.
Big fantastic screen; Excellent battery life; Top-of-the-range performance; Writing with the S Pen feels more immediate; Some new S Pen features are thoughtful
It’s expensive even by flagship standards; “Anywhere Actions” need some fine-tuning; Wireless DeX can be hit-or-miss; Cameras are solid but inconsistent
This year's Note device once again features the best smartphone screen currently available
120hz variable refresh rate display is stunning; Overall design looks great; Upgrades to S Pen latency are impressive
Camera bump is still massive; Expensive; More flex to back than S10+
At the time of testing, the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is one of the best smartphones available. The phablet shines in the test with a very bright AMOLED display, high system speed, a good and versatile camera, pleasing speakers, and a fancy design.
super-bright OLED display with HDR10; good speakers; S Pen; strong triple-camera setup; expandable storage; Wi-Fi 6; 5G; and eSIM; IP68 certification
slow microSD slot; 120 Hz only at Full HD; neither aptX HD nor aptX Adaptive; SoC policy
A beautiful phone with a great camera and smart pen integration, though it’s undeniably held back by inconsistent heat management and middling battery life.
Bold attractive design; Great camera system; S Pen is best-in-class
Mediocre battery life; Inconsistent heat management; Palm edge rejection issues
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra delivers the most high-end phone experience money can buy in a year when money is tighter than ever.
