Design and build quality-
Galaxy note 20 ultra is the best built phone from samsung.This phone has a soft touch finish at the back and boxy top and bottom.It weighs 208 grams.
Mystic bronze color was awesome and the camera bump was unique from samsung.holding this phone feels smooth and very hard to manage with one hand.
Build quality is super impressive and the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is pretty fast.Both the phone and stylus are ip68 water resistant.
All these features make phones look premium.
Display-
It has a 6.90 inch Quad HD+ AMOLED Infinity O display(hole punch) with a resolution of 1440×3200pixels and it is HDR+certified.
Display of this phone is A++,as it is a note 20 ultra.With the refresh rate of 120hz it is super smooth and every color and detailing is crispy.
It is a curved display,you may experience accidental touches sometimes even though palm rejection manages.HDR view is impressive,it is a display of samsung which makes displays for worlds no1 phone.
This phone has a single bottom speaker which is easy to block,but is a stereo pair with earpiece and dolby atmos delivers a great sound.
As we know that every samsung phone these days is powered with dolby atmos but overall sound output and quality depends on the hardware.
OS-
Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra runs on One UI 2.5 based on android 10.
Software experience on this phone is cool,it has many customizations
Samsung has added a bunch of features to this phone. It takes hours to try each and every feature on this phone,i’ll list some of them below-
Edgelightning,wireless music sharing,air actions,reverse wireless charging,bixby…
Recently samsung has also promised that these phones get three years of android updates i.e 3 major upgrades and 3years of android security patches.
S pen-
The one thing that made note 20 ultra a super impressive,premium is S pen
This year s pen got some technical improvements-latency is now 9ms.
The sound that comes when S pen is pulled out is great and you feel like writing on a chalkboard or pen on a paper.
Air gestures work well and you can also transform your writings in to text with just a single tap.
Performance-
This phone packs Samsung’s exynos 990 processor instead of snapdragon 865plus as all indian variants are equipped with exynos.
Overall performance is smooth with a 12GB ram.we need to check how this competes with 865plus.
Camera-
This flagship phone has a triple camera system.The camera bump and rings around the camera are different and they give good look.
There is a 108mp main camera,12mp ultrawide and 12mp periscope zoom.
Camera quality is great but sometimes shutter lags from shot to shot.
Ultrawide is good and it has a 50x massive zoom thanks to the periscope lens.
Portraits are pretty good with perfect edge detection
10mp selfie camera is good, it takes fair selfies.
When it comes to video this phone records 8k video,video quality is good with faster autofocus,
But we don’t have an 8k display to check the full potential of the video.
Overall these cameras are great.
Battery
You’ll get a 4500mAh battery and 45W fast charging support.
Battery backup is good. You can kill this phone in a day as it has 120hz screen and a lot more,but you can manage with its 15W wireless charging and super fast 45W charging support.
Conclusion-
Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra is a great phone at this price point
