Technology in flagship phones has platued. This Note 20 Ultra and the Z Fold 2 are probably the best flagship phones available in 2020. I have always liked the note series due to the powerhouse specs and option to use the s pen however due to the recall with the note 7 battery issues I kind of got on the Galaxy S series cycle. The last year and a half I have been using the S10+ Ceramic version. No phone since then has been compelling enough to want to upgrade until now. Reasons most people might want to upgrade to this phone: - You have large hands or don't mind using two hands for your phone. - You are using a phone older than 2 years and want to upgrade to the latest and greatest. Reasons you may not want to upgrade - You do not like large phones and prefer something more manageable for one handed use. - You have a note 10 or Galaxy S20+ in which case this will not seem like a drastic upgrade technology wise. Reasons I like the note 20+ include: - Beautiful vibrant screen with minimal front bezels. - Expandable storage for micro sd card simply plug and play from my S10+ - Design and color combinations. This is probably the best looking Samsung phone to date. - S pen (I like the instant screen write feature to take a quick note if needed and the softwares ability to select and convert any text on screen) - Camera and photo quality is excellent. Minor complaints or things that could be better - Battery life is good enough for me and I have wireless chargers everywhere. Some power users might be disappointed but I can get through a full day for my use. - Camera bump is large. Design wise it looks good but I don't like to uses cases and this phone just needs a case to level the camera bump out. I went with a clear tpu kickstand version that works out pretty well. - Stylus location switched sides and rocker buttons moved all to the right side. I am getting used to both changes now however its still a change when you are used to it always being opposite on other samsung note and galaxy s phones. - Stereo sound is loud and good enough but shrinking the bezels and ear piece speaker opening is a trade off for the amazing screen to body ratio. Boomsound from the old HTC phones were the best. In short this is an amazing quality Samsung phone. Price is a little steep if you don't have a trade in or some other deal and you are buying it a full price. If you have the $ and want the best current android phone option that has expandable storage then this is the phone to get! If you really have the money and want the best wow factor bleeding edge technology phone and do not need expandable storage then go with the Z Fold 2. If you want a really good android phone without breaking the bank, then there are plenty less expensive options that have been released over the last year or so including the Note 10+

My last Samsung experience was the Note 7, enough said. Flash forward a couple years. I like the Note 20 Ultra. The build quality is very impressive, the processor and ram together are very fast. The screen is Huge and very accurate color replication. Samsung is known for over saturation from time to time. I have had the phone for about a week and have really enjoyed the functionalities of it. The camera is amazing attached are some shots of the moon. Battery life is incredible, call and audio quality are very good and clear. Especially with this phone being on sale you can't go wrong with this. Make sure you get a good case and screen protector as the phone is all glass. Thanks Samsung you guys did an amazing job with the Note 20 Ultra.

I love this phone. I had the Note 3, 5, 8, & 9. Samsung Note phones are hands down the best phone on the market. Samsung puts the Smart in Smart phones.. It is the king of big screen phones. If you want to use a smart phone with a boat load of features here you go. First time user's DON'T be intimated. If you are tired of plucking the screen with your fingers, retyping missed keys try the stylist. Once you use the stylist and it's features you'll see. If you like to edit photo's, use photo apps you fine it a breeze. Its also great for notes, schedules, screen shots, PDF's, Business, Etc. Watch a YouTube review to help you see if needed. This phone and it's apps interfaces and sync's well with my laptop. I'm an old school Baby Boomer that likes electronics and tech. Below are photos I had edited. My brother send me a picture of his back yard. His neighbor cut all the trees down along the fence. He was bummed out. In five minutes I sent him a edited photo. It didn't replace the trees but gave him a good laugh..
