Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is the flagship smartphone in Samsung's late-2020 Galaxy lineup. Compared to the base Note20, it adds a larger, 6.9-inch QHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB LPDDR5 memory, and 4500mAh battery.
For the first time in the Note series, Galaxy Note20 Ultra boasts a bright Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Sporting an all-day intelligent battery and Super Fast Charging capabilities, you can get more than 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
The new S Pen and Samsung Notes features provide an even more powerful experience and extend to Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ for flexibility and convenience.

Sentiment Score 96%Samsung has lowered its touch input latency down to just 9 milliseconds, just like what you get on the Tab S7+ or an iPad Pro. This makes note taking, sketching, or whatever else you use the S-Pen for feel incredibly smooth. With five new Anywhere Actions for going Back, going Home, summon Recent Apps, and turning on Screen Write, you could easily use a Note 20 Ultra to host a full Powerpoint presentation without ever needing to hook up a real computer.

Pros
- Gorgeous screen
- S-Pen is a huge improvement over the S20 Ultra
- Great battery life
Cons
- No wireless charging
- No headphone jack
androidauthority[2]
Sentiment Score 81%The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra was priced at a rather eye-watering $1,300 at launch. Samsung's late 2020 phone has since seen a discount to around the $950 mark. Features like water resistance, wireless charging, a periscope camera, a high refresh rate OLED screen, and three years of OS updates round out a great phone.

Pros
- Fingerprint sensor is still great
- Good battery life
- Good cameras
Cons
- No microSD card slot
- In-display fingerprint sensor isn’t the best
- No wireless charging
androidauthority[3]
Sentiment Score 71%The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a terrific phone. It offers most of the features Note fans care about and delivers them in a huge, well-crafted package. The Galaxy S21 Ultra offers better specs, a better camera, and a subjectively better design. Is it worth it to pay more for the Note 20? Take our poll.

Pros
- Gorgeous design
- S Pen support
- Great battery life
Cons
- No microSD card slot
- Camera bump is too big

Sentiment Score 86%The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the biggest, baddest, most hardcore flagship smartphone you can buy today. It has everything you could want from a phone today — and pretty much everything for tomorrow too, including 5G. It's expensive, but when you consider how powerful and capable it is, and how many features it offers, there's more longevity in it than many other flagship phones that cost a few hundred dollars less.

Pros
- S Pen stylus is a great addition
- Great battery life
- Great camera
Cons
- No IP68 rating
- No wireless charging
laptopmag[5]
Sentiment Score 93%The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a wide-angle primary lens with a 5x optical zoom. You can easily crop and zoom after the fact with all of those pixels. The bokeh produced in Samsung's portrait shots are quite good. Video is one area where Samsung has really upped its game this year.

Pros
- Gorgeous 120Hz display

- Excellent cameras
Cons
- No 5x optical zoom
- No headphone jack

Sentiment Score 82%The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a promising camera setup. The protruding camera hump, however, can hardly be described as such due to its sheer size. Samsung uses an ultra-wide-angle lens, which brings more of the subject into the picture. There is a 4,500 mAh battery which supports wireless charging.

Pros
- Very good battery life
- Very good cameras
- Fast charging
Cons
- No wireless charging
- Only one-hundredth of the original 12 megapixels
pcmag[7]
Sentiment Score 85%The Note 20's native 5x zoom delivers much sharper, clearer shots at 5x than the S20's 3x-plus-digital zoom. At a 1:1 pixel view, it's noisy and definitely susceptible to artifacting. The Note 20 Ultra is what the Galaxy S20 Ultra should have been, with a working camera, a slightly lower price, and a ton of productivity and creativity features.

Pros
- Beautiful 120Hz display
- Excellent performance
- Long battery life
Cons
- No microSD card slot
- No 5x optical zoom

Sentiment Score 87%In the UK, the Note 20 Ultra starts at £1179 for 256GB model or £1279 for the 512GB model. It was available for pre-order until 20 August from Samsung's UK site (as well as the likes of Amazon UK) and has been on sale since 21 August. Those that pre-ordered direct from Samsung and live within a 30-mile radius of Samsung KX - the company's King's Cross experience space - are able to collect their device in-person.

Pros
- Fantastic performance

Cons

- No 5G by default
techradar[9]
Sentiment Score 93%There's a tighter field of view on this camera (20 degrees instead of the S20 Ultra's 24 degrees) It's 12MP instead of 64MP, but we don't see issues, only improvements. Samsung seems to have improved its Night Mode over the last year. The Note 20 Ultra consistently lasted us a full day on a single charge with normal use.

Pros
- Fantastic all-day battery life
- Fast charging
- Excellent cameras
Cons
- No wireless charging
- No 5G

Sentiment Score 95%The Note 20 Ultra is a refinement of the same Note design that Samsung has been refining for half a decade. It got what amounts to a spec bump (and a camera bump to match) But that's enough to make it perhaps the best flagship Android phone you can buy right now.

Pros
- The best camera in the Galaxy S20 Ultra
- Superb battery life
- Long-lasting battery
Cons
- No Bixby digital assistant
- No headphone jack

Sentiment Score 86%The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is nearly the pinnacle of Android phablets. It offers a best-in-class display, a better S Pen experience and a boatload of features for work and play. It delivers a faster processor, better cameras and optional S Pen. But if you really want the stylus, go with the Galaxy Note 21.

Pros
- Best-in-class display

Cons
- No Dolby Vision support
- No wireless charging

Sentiment Score 95%Samsung’s software has improved immeasurably over the past few iterations. The camera system here is very capable. Images are so colourful, with punchy blues and saturated hues that pop off the ridiculously bright display. The video recording features are excellent on the Note 20 Ultra, with ‘cinematic’ 8K 24fps showing just how good these phones have become at capturing footage.

Pros
- Gorgeous screen
- Great battery life

Cons
- Haloing is annoying
- No wireless charging

Sentiment Score 90%The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a 6.9in AMOLED Edge screen. It has a 3088 x 1440 resolution, “WQHD+” screen. Samsung has introduced a whole host of swipes and gestures for easy access to the camera. It's easy to use and the quality holds up well, with anything up to 30x zoom remaining sharp, while even the maximum zoom is still functional.

Pros
- Gorgeous, colourful screen
- Superb audio performance
- Great battery life
Cons
- No aptX HD
- No 3.5mm headphone jack
wired[14]
Sentiment Score 92%Gone are the autofocus issues that plagued the S20 model. The main camera shoots at 27 megapixels, merging four adjacent pixels into one to absorb more light. Samsung is one of the few Android manufacturers that makes phones with video capabilities as good as the iPhone.

Cons
- No water resistance
- No IP rating
