Reviewer score 79%The Galaxy Note 20 follows in the dubious footsteps of the S20 in February. Samsung advertised the smartphone to come with a "30x spatial zoom"; with a 1x optical zoom - we would assume that the camera hardware should be identical to the S-Pen. Next to the recently announced Galaxy S20 FE, I can tell you without hesitation that the Note 20 has absolutely no place in Samsung's catalog.

Pros
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Good battery life
- Good camera performance
Cons
- The S-Pen is too forgettable
- No 120Hz display
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 63%The is the “cheaper” Note to buy this year, but it still has an MSRP of $999. If you can grab it with a $150 or $200 discount — sure, it can be worth it. The real disappointment is that the Note 20 does not have a high refresh rate screen.

Pros
- Big, immersive screen

Cons
- No high refresh rate screen
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 63%The Galaxy Note 20 runs Android 10 with Samsung's One UI on top. It's a cute-but-tasteful interface, with pages replacing the vertical scroll used in most other 2020 takes on Android. The Note 20 may feel slightly slower than the Note 20 Ultra in places because of its 60Hz screen, but it's no less powerful a phone.

Pros
- Great battery life
- Decent cameras
- Long-lasting battery
Cons
- No wireless charging
- Not the best value for money
