Look at the size of this thing. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is ridiculously huge with its 6.9-inch screen. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology running up to 120Hz ensures that everything is showing smoothly and precisely. It is the most vivid and brightest display in a smartphone delivers 1500 nits for true to life color even in bright sunlight, and is easy on the eyes. The protection all over the smartphone is top notch with Gorilla Glass Victus and the IP16 ensuring its safety.

One of its highlights is of course the Stylus pen. The S Pen and the Galaxy Note20 Ultra are like a computer suite in your hand. With a tap of the S Pen, your handwriting corrects itself if you’re writing at an angle, keeping your notes legible and organized. It can even transform into text you can copy and paste. Then export your notes as a PPT or Word file for easy sharing.

Under the hood of the Galaxy Note20 Ultra is the highest-end Exynos 990 chipset paired with a blazingly fast Octa-core processor, amazing graphics and a whopping 8GB RAM. The upgraded processor packs more performance into its chipset. This lets you take advantage of 5G speeds and cloud gaming — without buffering, stuttering, or a surprise appearance by that annoying loading wheel.

Sporting a 108MP-12MP-12MP triple primary camera, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra is in a class of its own. It makes for the crispest and clearest photos, with millions more pixels mean exponentially more detailed photos. You can pinch in on the background and see it just as clearly as the whole picture. Enlarged pixel size and intelligent nonabinning give you the power to shoot incredible color and crisp detailed photos when the lights are low. Switch to Night mode and it instantly turns multiple frames into one well-lit, clear snap.

Not only that, the 8K video gives you crisp footage with incredible detail, and pro-grade controls give you real-time creative power so you can edit in-camera. Shoot super smooth action in 120fps, or isolate voices with a Bluetooth microphone. Then add finishing touches by editing your videos right on your phone.

Then there’s the 10MP selfie camera with all the bells and whistles that makes capturing great selfies very easy.

With either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage, there’s plenty of space for everyone. There’s also an expansion slot that allows for more storage to be added in via the microSDXC slot.

The 4500 mAh battery found on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra is more than highly capable of supplying the necessary juice for it to last for a good full day of charge. The fast battery charging, fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging makes charging the smartphone in a very fun way.

With the latest Android 10.0 operating system and 5G connectivity available on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, this makes for more added value that probably can last you for a couple of years.

Conclusion:

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is the de facto king of flagships by the looks of things. It truly stands tall among all others and is a great smartphone of choice – provided you can afford it.
