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.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.
Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features
Design too familiar, Some average features
The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.
Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance
Display could use some upgrades
Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the iPhone 14, the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus.
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

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+
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
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.
S Pen; Display; Cameras; Performance
Battery Life; Software
But if you want all of its features, or even just want the S Pen stylus, it’s probably worth it – few phones offer an experience close to this, and it’s a big upgrade on the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20.
Great zoom capabilities; S Pen stylus is useful; Top screen
Very expensive; Can't have QHD+ and 120Hz simultaneously; Doesn't use the best Android chipset
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
