Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra<\/h2>\n
The ultimate flagship<\/p>\n
$1,300 at Samsung<\/a><\/p>\n The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the most powerful phone in 2020. There’s a massive 6.9-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the latest Snapdragon 865+ chipset with global 5G connectivity, an S Pen that has just 9ms latency, outstanding 108MP primary camera at the back, and a gorgeous new design that allows the phone to stand out. You’re paying a lot here, but you are getting an incredible phone.<\/p>\n Mainstream choice<\/p>\n $1,190 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n If you don’t need the S Pen, the Galaxy S20+ is a fantastic choice. The phone has the same great AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate, and the Snapdragon 865 chipset is just as good. You get 5G connectivity here, the same wired and wireless charging, and the same software. The 108MP camera on the Note 20 Ultra is marginally better, but otherwise these two phones are very similar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With three phones in the Galaxy S20 series<\/a> and two options in the Note 20 series<\/a>, you have a lot of choice if you’re in the market for a Samsung flagship right now.<\/p>\n The distinction between the Galaxy S and Note series is getting thinner and thinner with every generation, and that’s evident when you look at what the Note 20 Ultra has to offer. The hardware is near-identical to the Galaxy S20+, with both phones offering the same AMOLED panel tech with a 120Hz refresh rate that makes scrolling feel so smooth. This makes either device stand out from Samsung’s earlier flagships, and it is one of the biggest reasons to switch if you’re using the Galaxy S10, Note 10, or older flagship.<\/p>\n The differences between the two phones are subtle, but the Note 20 Ultra gives you a little extra.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Because we’re talking about two devices that are so similar, we’ll have to drill in to find the areas where they differ. The Note 20 Ultra has a 6.9-inch display versus the 6.7-inch screen on the S20+, and because of the larger screen, the Note 20 Ultra is 2.9mm taller. Also, the phone is also 22g heavier, even though both devices have the same 4,500mAh battery. The difference here is because of the S Pen and its housing.<\/p>\n The Note 20 Ultra features Corning’s latest Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection, with the S20+ coming with Gorilla Glass 6. You shouldn’t see any major difference in this area, but you’re still better off picking up a case to protect your Note 20 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n Under the hood, the Note 20 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, with the S20+ featuring the regular Snapdragon 865. Again, there’s no difference here other than increased clocks on the primary core, and in day-to-day use both phones are identical. The international version of the Note 20 Ultra comes with the Exynos 990 \u2014 the same as the global S20+.<\/p>\n Continuing down the hardware front, both phones come with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM as standard, and the base variants have 128GB of storage. The S20+ has a UFS 3.0 storage module, while the Note 20 Ultra has a UFS 3.1 module. Both phones have a microSD card slot and feature IP68 dust and water resistance, but you won’t find a 3.5mm jack though.<\/p>\n The biggest difference between the two phones is the S Pen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The differentiator for the Note series has always been the S Pen, and that’s the case for Samsung’s latest flagship as well. Samsung made a few tweaks to its stylus with this generation, touting a latency of just 9ms. That makes the stylus even better for taking notes or sketching, and if you want the versatility that the S Pen has to offer, there’s only one choice here.<\/p>\n Both phones have the same software, and with Samsung now committing to three years of platform updates<\/a>, both the Note 20 Ultra and the S20+ will be updated to Android 13. That is a huge deal, and it is great to see Samsung taking the initiative here.<\/p>\n Rounding off the differences, the Note 20 Ultra has a 108MP primary camera that takes outstanding photos. The Galaxy S20+ is no slouch here either with its 12MP sensor, but the Note 20 Ultra has a slender edge in this category. As I said at the start, the differences between these two phones are minute. Both phones have 8K video recording and a gamut of shooting modes and effects to play around with.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/08\/galaxy-note-20-ultra-front-render-official.jpg\")
