Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a smartphone of a top-tier calibre in both the flagship lineups of Samsung and in the markets.
Its feature-rich capacities and specs sheet suffice to validate the “Ultra” in its name, ending up with a massive 5000mAh battery and 16GB RAM, being the ultimate catalyst of unmatched multitasking.
What it’s most acclaimed for is the camera system, which is something we rarely get to see in an Android smartphone, and a stylus pen to save its display from being ruined with your fingerprints.
Nonetheless, despite being an unleashed beast with performance and camera features, the phone comes at a considerable cost with $1,300 of the base model.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra features
Design
Identical to the Galaxy S 20, the smartphone comes with a massive 6.9-inch display which is not easily usable with one hand only.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra boasts a sleek design with a less reflective glass back and little smudges. The Mystic Bronze variant features a distinctive frost-coated glass, while Mystic Black and Mystic White offer alternatives.
No rounded corners, but the phone sports a square frame with curved sides to feature the Infinity Display. The S Pen is located on the left side, and the camera bump facilitates 5x optical zoom.
The downside is the limited space of its in-screen fingerprint sensor which poses challenges on this large device.
Camera features
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is best at addressing distance challenges with its 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom camera with which images remain clear up to 10x zoom, better than the iPhone's 2x optical zoom. The 50x zoom is magnificent, making the 100x 'Space Zoom' unnecessary.
The 5x optical zoom, wider aperture, and improved pixel size enhance the look after low light settings, producing impressive results. The camera's performance, including selfies, is praised for capturing pictures with immense clarity and detailing.
