8 April 2021. Compared to the Samsung Note 8 or iPhone XR, this is a slightly larger phone - which is great to have more real estate to read emails! I connect the Note 20 to a UPERFECT X True Portable Monitor 13.3" Touchscreen which has a built keyboard and battery via USB-C cable. Samsung DEX works perfectly and I have access to the full screen, audio, touch screen and phone charging. Pair it with a bluetooth mouse and you have a laptop like experience.

Compared to the Hong Kong dual SIM version of the Note 20 Ultra 5G, the Australian vers...

The Note 20 Ultra is a fantastic phone to use with an overpowered camera. I have used the phone since release and here's what i have to say.

Samsung's Note 20 Ultra has extraordinarily terrible battery, barely lasting 8 hours with power saving mode on and no 5G. This is with moderate use and about 6 hours screen time. If you are someone who is in an office environment this doesn't pose an issue, however in more laborious jobs the Ultra may be too big, heavy and barely last the day. Alongside this, the device can get quite hot to the touch wit...

Am resetting the phone almost daily - constant drop outs, misreporting of incoming numbers, misreporting of out going number to clients, finger print verification loops ie approves then 10 seconds later if transaction not finished asks again - gets quicker and quicker until i have to reset phone. To date no help from Telstra whatsoever with 18 months to run on contract....Pixel was perfect why did i move?

This device is INCREDIBLE!! The features + storage + gorilla glass are amazing for anyone who is as clumsy as me lol

I have dropped my phone 5 times and no damages!

INCREDIBLE phone!!

The Exynos chipset is lagging behind generations of the Snapdragon variant, the battery barely lasts a day, I still haven't been able to get wireless charging to work without pausing every 1%, nfc payments don't work half the time and this is only after an update, charging with a non Samsung wired charger will cause the keyboard not to work, google chrome still crashes occasionally, the battery will last about 2 hours in high performance mode or you're forced to use the phone at 70% power to save energy, its the end of the year and Samsung has ...

For more than 10 years I was a huge Samsung fan, also competed with my own children having iPhones. Upgraded to the Note20 ultra 5G 256 and paid $1999 and it was exactly the same as the S10. That’s okay, I guess, if you look from a point of 'what else can they really improve?’. However, it’s when you realise the price being the same around the globe, but in Aus they settled for the slower chipset. That’s what made my furious. Out of principal, sold it at a loss and got iPhone 12 pro max. Now I get it.

Bought on pre-order expecting great quality.

Thought, Samsung would have learned from the reviews of past 2 years pointing out the differences of performance/stability between snapdragon vs exynos. But no change.

Battery life - not as expected, can't last for a day
Camera - quality not as advertised. Got jerky HDR videos with video stabilization on. Zoom quality not good.
Heat - it easily gets hot if you continuously use for 10 mins. Cannot use without a case.
Price depreciation - Fast depreciation of value than an iphone.
Cost - Expensive in AU.

Suggestion, do not buy. If you want to invest AUD 1800, go for something else or something better at lower price.

Since having to change phone from the S20 Ultra Plus (Which has more defects than one could poke a stick at) I was transferred to the Note 20 Ultra. This has been average to say the least, with similar defects occurring that I had seen with the S20 I owned. I have had the note 20 for a little over 2 months now and the following has started to occur:
The camera will not work on 1x through to 5x zoom, I have read literally every forum on how to fix this and have done the software update through to resetting the actual camera via the settings. Thi...

Battery life is dismal. Barely get 1 day and I'm not a high end user. Dropped from 71% to 15% on standby over course if 6 hours. Checked battery settings and nothing is cau a drain as far as the phone is concerned.
The camera.... Wow, where do I start. It's cr@p! Won't focus properly... And eventually when and if it focuses... It drops in and out ever couple of seconds. It's like using glad wrap as a condom... After you shoot you're only just hoping for the best possible outcome.
There is no possible way of getting a close up shot of anything...

Bought the phone online during promotion of free Samsung care+. Added the phone and care+ to cart and proceeded to pay and checkout. Upon completion of purchase, receipt didn't show care+ added. Followed up with customer service multiple times (multiple emails, average 1hour + on wait times, unkept promises of 'getting back to you') only to be told to purchase separately as it's wasn't added on the receipt. I am 200% sure that it was added and I only followed up with them as I found it odd that it wasn't on the receipt.

Samsung, your customer ...

Really disappointed. Had the Samsung Note 8 for 3 years and absolutely loved it. Decided to fork out the $2,000 for the Note 20 Ultra, its going to better, right!.. Wrong!!.. The Note 20 is erratic, slow, sometimes it Just Stops Responding and really not very nice to use because of this. The 'other half' has an OPPO, we were holidaying in Margaret River, I had not Phone or Data available, lucky the old OPPO did (and yes, we both use the same provider). Sill considering going back to my Note 8.

So this is a great phone, there is no doubt about that, Most phones nowadays are fine, they're all good enough. The parts where this phone stands out are what is important here.

The S-Pen; It's pretty good, very useful for jotting down notes and some quick scribbling, I wouldn't recommend it for artists thinking of using it for digital artwork, the pen is too small to really be held normally, you feel like you're holding a chopstick rather than a pen.

The display is gorgeous, very vibrant, crisp and clear, colours pop out amazingly, thanks ...

Been a samsung user for a long time. thought id Update My S10 Plus and unfortuantly Purchased The note 20 Ultra 512GB Exynos Version as the Snapdragon version is not available in Australia. Over priced at almost $1900 AU, The phone screen is excellent with great viewing angles but thats about it everything else about the Note 20 Ultra is a let down and doesnt feel like a flagship phone it actually feels cheap and makes you feel as though youve been ripped off. The exynos version runs very hot the battery lasts about 6/8 hours with regular use...

I am a business power user so at most i get about 5-6 hours out of the phone which is adequate but at least it charges up quickly. Excessive heat is very annoying.
Also when talking on the phone you need the volume at maximum to hear the other party, they sound distant.
Will not make a notification sound when receiving texts regardless of settings.
Dissapointed as the above issues spoil a good phone. Love the Dex connection and direct computer connection.
Build quality not as good as the S10....

The phone is great and build of the phone is first class.
The OLED screen is amazing and 120 htz refresh rate makes everything smoother. I have been using the phone since it's launch in August and have no complains. I worried about the processor and Battery initially but after 1 week or so phone learnt my pattern of usage. Overall amaizing phone.

Firstly, the phone itself works great. I have no complaints about the processor, speed, display, audio, or anything about the phone, other than the battery. It is heavy on battery use and gets noticeably warm when being used, even doing not very processor-intensive things. I can cope with this as it does have fast charging, and I don't usually drain the battery before coming home, but when I get to travel again after COVID I will bring my older phone, which could last all day even sharing a mobile data connection over a WiFi hotspot.

Anyway, m...

- I have been using mobile phones since the 1980s, the Siemens then the brick
- on 22 Sep I bought a galaxy note 20 ultra
this is the worst thing I have done for the following reasons:
- wake up in the morning and the phone resets itself.
- after changing a few personals like wallpaper, ring tone .... etc again in the morning it will go back to factory settings
and so on and so forth

I contacted the 1300 customer support and asked to first do a data resetting then factory resetting and nothing worked my case number 821 540 1831
finally, Samsung decided that I should get back repaired
...

The phone is just incredible! The camera(s) on it, beyond incredibly good.
Some accessories I ordered went missing in the first week and it too over a week to get in contact with customer service and then they even had trouble finding these items, even though I ordered through my Samsung account.
Some of Samsung's customer service channels were really bad... because it was almost impossible to get in contact with any person. Finally, after a week or more, I got some good customer service.
The Galaxy Buds Live Bluetooth headphone earbuds too well over a month to arrive.
But I'm so happy with the phone, it's all been worth it!

I bought note 20 ultra 5g I feel it bit bulky and heavy can't really use with hand that's what I feel over all its ok but i think note 10 is better then this.

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 4G 256GB version in black from the Samsung store online.
My model included the phone with the S Pen as well as a USB C to C cable, a 25W charging Brick, AKG USB C Headphones with extra tips and some documentation for everything.

I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB and loved the increase in storage immediately, finally being able to install all of my apps freely.

The phone feels great in the hand, its not too heavy and I would say the screen is the perfect size - I would not go any larger ...
