Definitely keeping this phone for a while.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.You want a happy future with this phone? Then I recommend purchasing a case with it. The camera especially is extremely delicate and will require immediate protection. There's really nothing much to say about the negative things about the Note 20 Ultra other than it's a battery guzzler. Since I know this now there's always a secondary charger stashed in my car.

Really like it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I upgraded from my S8 and I have no regrets. I was originally looking at the s20 plus but the price difference between the 2 was only $50 at the time of purchase so I went for the note and I'm glad I did. This is definitely the best phone I've owned and for the price it should be. I'm not sure why there are mixed reviews, my experience has been great with it. Like any device, battery life depends on how you use it. I can get 3 days out of it with light use and battery saver options or one day with heavy use. Cameras work as expected, wireless dex has been useful. Sound quality is a HUGE upgrade both in media and phone calls. Also, the mic for phone calls apparently sounds way better than my last phone. I don't miss the headphone jack, I'm using galaxy buds+. I love using the s pen as a remote for the camera. I definitely recommend the note 20 ultra, it's the most capable pocket computer I've had the pleasure of using.

My favorite phone
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Powerful and nice looking phone. I used to keep changing phones with the latest ones, but this is still with me after I bought the iPhone 12 pro max and Samsung galaxy z fold 2. It is unique on its kind. I really like it. Very easy to use and very responsive. And the screen is fantastic.

Love this note
||Posted .This is such a great phone it flys compared to my last and the camera is amazing. They have these awesome apps to trace pictures or whatever you like to draw which is pretty cool too. Drawing on this note is a breeze with the pen . All in all i love thus far!! Im still getting use to the fact that its much larger than my previous phone but its nice.

Q: QuestionIf i order the phone from bestbuy before 9/20 do i get the $150 Samsung credit? or is this over? And will the Unlocked Note 20 ultra work with U.S Cellular?
Asked by danny.
- A:Answer Yes, Unlocked Note 20 Ultra will work with US Cellular as long as its this model #: SM-N986UZNAXAA.... you should really get it from US Cellular or maybe Samsung.com I bought two of these phone unlocked mystic bronze from Best Buy on 08/21/20 and it has been dud for me and Best Buy is not honoring the returns for me and I am Best Buy Elite Plus member and Best Buy will charge restocking fee as well. I will explain below why I want to return these phones.. Well, $150 Samsung Credit is over with but if you buy this phone from Samsung.com, they are giving away free Wireless Duo Charger with it. I would recommend buy it from Samsung.com because they will take return and replace if anything happens to the phone with no restocking fees.. I am avid Note series users ever since (2011) they been in the market. But this new NOTE 20 Ultra is a dud for me. It's been 3 days I got this phone and let me tell you it has been draining battery in like 5-6 hours and its getting super hot.. so hot that it making me uncomfortable while holding.. and I am only using at 60hz with all the bloatware disable/uninstall.. Best Buy won't take a return because apparently their employee said that it will be another Note 7 fire disaster back in 2016.. it will be another Note 7 nightmare.. this new phone of mine is getting ridiculously hot and battery just keep dying and Samsung won't help unless i bought it from them... I humbly apologize for a very long message but you can see my frustration with Best Buy and Samsung about these phones i bought only 3 days ago..

Are you able to see the rest of the messages between Angela and I? 9:42 AM Yes, are you referring to the dual sim tray? 9:42 AM That is correct 9:42 AM Thanks for the confirmation. 9:42 AM Jeff , the US version phone comes with only one sim option. 9:43 AM The dual sim facility is not available for the US version phones. 9:43 AM Really? Thats not what I was told upon purchase. 9:44 AM Or else I would have bought and Korean version online and waited a week before deactivating my other. 9:44 AM Jeff, We'd like to see you happy and always willing to share the best option with you. 9:45 AM The US version phones are single sim phones. 9:46 AM I just paid $1300 for the phone. I would like to think that what I paid for is going to serve one of the major functioning factors for that purchase. 9:46 AM What are my options? 9:47 AM You can check for the return option with the place of purchase if you want to use the dual sim phone. 9:49 AM Its now a 2 day old open box item. It will also cost me a $restocking fee. Was told that at purchase. I do not want to pay more money for something that I just dropped $1300 on. 9:50 AM It's never our intention to provide the inconvenience to the customers. We always strive to create a positive customer experience. However, the dual sim phones are not available on the Samsung US website. 9:52 AM Everywhere that I read about the phone, nowhere did it state US versions would not be dual sim. I was instructed by an approved dealer that the phone was dual sim. Now you are informing me it is not. Both my carriers are capable and the phone doesn't support as advertised? Again, I would have gladly ordered a phone online that wasnt US if that were the case. 9:52 AM Is there another solution? 9:52 AM Is there a firmware flash? 9:52 AM A simple bios update and a new tray. 9:53 AM You can check on the official Samsung website. The dual sim phones are not available. You can check for the eSim facility by contacting the carrier. 9:55 AM So the answer you are giving me is all the advertisement on the phone for dual sim functionality is currently false as the website itself says that it isn't available? 9:56 AM Yes, the dual sim phones are not available on the official Samsung US website. 9:57 AM The advertisements you have seen might be for the Non-US version phones. 9:58 AM So there is no solution to my problem? You were saying to take it back as a brandade to the fact you cant help my issue. 9:58 AM So are non US versions dual sim? 9:59 AM I would have been happy to help you but the option for the dual sim is not available. However, you can check for the non-US version phones for the dual Sim compatibility. 10:01 AM Is it possible to swap Samsung directly to replace for a correct version of the phone? 10:01 AM It is literally 2 days old. 10:01 AM You need to check the available options with the place of purchase. 10:03 AM Thank you for trying to assist me. 10:03 AM You're welcome. 10:04 AM One last question, Do you have a customer review section you can link up? 10:05 AM You can provide us with the feedback when the chat ends. 10:07 AM Thank you. I would like to feedback everywhere possible. I will also be seeking out every form of social media as well as reaching out to friends to help me spread the word about the support I have received. 10:09 AM I really apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I would have been happy to help if there was any option available. 10:11 AM I get it. You have a dealer supply chain for a reason. Its unfortunate they do not have to know the product they sell. Its more unfortunate that the end user consumer gets stuck with a $1300 dollar piece of (equipment) that does not even serve one of the single functions for buying the phone. That isnt your fault.

Q: QuestionAre you also offering the 150 credit that Samsung does if we order from Samsung?
Asked by Pepe.
- A:Answer Looks like upon receiving your phone, you register your Note 20 IMEI in the Samsung Shop app and upload your Best Buy receipt info by a certain date to get the $150 Samsung credit (for the Note 20 Ultra, $100 for the Note 20). The process is outlined in the terms and conditions of the preorder ad listed on the Bestbuy.com homepage.

Q: Questionwould the note 20 ultra box sealed, plastic wrap, and unopen if i order pickup at a best buy store?
Asked by nightcap.
- A:Answer That would depend on whether you ordered service with the phone purchase. Mine was picked up from a BB store as an unlocked, activate later option (no SIM card installed): the box was not shrink wrapped but did have two seal disks that I needed to cut to open the box. If you received carrier service at the time of pick up, the phone would have had to be opened to install the SIM card and activate the device.
