Should I buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G?

If you want a supersized handset that does it all, is prepped for the future with 5G functionality and has S-Pen support then it’s an absolute yes. This is a phone for those who want everything - it’s a powerful gadget that has lost none of its lustre since release. It does now have a big rivalry, though, and it isn’t a Note. The Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra has arrived and, for the first time, has S Pen support. Does this mean the end of the Note range? If it does, the Note 20 Ultra is a hell of a way to go out.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G: About the hardware

You don’t call something Ultra and not mean for it to be the best in your line-up. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is packed with top-end specs. Everything from its screen - a 6.9-inch behemoth that’s 120HZ - to its processor is up there with the best. But with this tech comes a price premium.

The screen is undoubtedly one of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G’s greatest assets. It’s 120Hz, which is the fastest refresh rate on a screen. This is great for high-performance gaming, smooth scrolling and the like. It’s 6.9-inches making it one of the biggest phone screens around. A punchy processor and big battery back this up, as well as up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Add on to this 5G connectivity and S Pen functionality and this is one ‘ultra’ powerful handset.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G storage

There’s storage aplenty with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5G Ultra. If you go for the full fat version then you will get 512GB of storage. Even the lowest amount, though, is 128GB. This amount of storage means that you won’t have to worry about the amount of images, games and the like you have on your device. Movies and video shouldn’t be a problem, either, unless you are shooting everything in 4K. If you are doing that, then the additional MicroSD slot will definitely come in handy.

As a handy note of reference, this is what you can do with the Note’s storage:

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G battery

There is an impressive battery on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. 4,500mAh is one of the biggest batteries available but it evens itself out, because it has to power a 120Hz screen, a punch processor and many more features. There is fast charging on board which will help things and Samsung has added a number of battery efficiencies into the Note 20’s software.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G camera specs

The cameras are certainly a showstopper for the Note 20 5G - for a start you can’t not notice the rear camera bump, it’s massive! While the 108MP sensor sounds unbelievable, it kind of is - it’s more of 12MP sensor with multiple pixels ‘binned’ together. The triple lens layout is impressive as is the ‘Space zoom’ which allows you to zoom 50x (again with some software enhancements). The selfie camera has been criticised in numerous reviews, however.
