    Don’t go down here. If you want and need a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra here. Sign up with Samsung where they offer deals all the time to upgrade your Phone or Note with package deals and if you are like Me Military deals you get with others the same at better offers than dealers.

    Bitcoin is the future, Investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise. Do you know there are coins that are 2x bigger than Btc? I won’t have known this if not for my professional trader Mary Poldoski. This woman is the queen of crypto. You can contact her + 4—4—(7—4—5)—1—2—4—8—7—3—8

    Neither of these. If I have to choose, I’ll choose Sony Xperia 1 Mark II. But, sadly this mobile is not available in my country, India. To be honest, at any point of time, I’ll not waste my money in buying a costly mobile. It is a wiser proposition to invest in a nice Apple Tablet coupled with a budget Android phone.

    tbh, the Galaxy Note 20 wasnt as bad as what people said at first.
    but then samsung totally slaughtered the regular Note 20 by releasing the S20FE.

    Companies nowadays have incredible marketing strategies.. we _actually believe_ that we need a phone that costs *one thousand, three hundred dollars*
    I love all things tech, but c’mon people this is getting ridiculous!

    You can buy a refurbished Galaxy Note 9 for _under_ $300.00….

    What can you do on the Note 20 Ultra that you can’t do on the GN 8? There might be a few gimmicky things, but 90% of people will not be able to tell the difference.

    Don’t be fooled by the 120Hz screens! Seriously.. Don’t be fooled.. It’s a gimmick, I’ve had one, it’s smooth yes, but it only makes the phone _feel_ faster.. it does not give any performance benefits.

    Those that say they are a must-have and that they are the best thing since sliced bread have generally bought one, and are subconsciously attempting to justify to themselves why they spent a months salary on a phone.

    Imagine a household with 4 people buying these new phones, you’re taking about a 5K spend…
    Grabbing one on a monthly plan with your carrier just spreads out the exorbitant price over 2 years..

    I bought a _used_ Galaxy Note 10+ 5g for £290.00 of eBay. It has a slightly cracked screen that doesent affect use in any way at all – that was a good deal, but paying full whack?? No way.

    The more we buy these hugely expensive phones the more the manufacturers will make and the higher prices they will charge.

      I agree 100 percent. Way too Expensive. I Also recently gotten a brand new s10 plus for $600 spread over a 2 year plan which is worth it

    US varient Note20 Ultra 5G supports Esim ? For me I can’t see esim option. But when I contacted Samsung support, they said it supports esim. But on the there is only 1 IMEI number.

    I had two (2) note 9’s that I received for free (long story) Traded those in for the note 20 (for my wife) and note 20 ultra (for me). I paid $400 out the door, (with samsung trade in) for the green N20 unlocked. Then I paid $750 out the door (with samsung trade in) for the white N20U. I would never pay full price for these phones, so like c|net says, they are very worth it if you can get a deal on them.

    The S20 FE is the way better deal than the regular Note 20

    Just traded my s10 plus for note 20 ultra for $550. The regular isn’t worth it honestly. The s10 plus is even better in some area, build quality,resolution amd lack of micro sd card on regular note should automatically be a deal breaker in my opinion

    I’m a Graphic Designer who now works at home due to the pandemic and I use the S-Pen so much for drawings, take a lot of pictures and record 4K videos, so it’s an easy choice for me – Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (I got the unlocked version, as I personally HATE carrier versions). I personally love Mystic Black. It’s so hot and sexy, The case cover I got for it makes it even hotter and sexier ❤🙌🔥💯

    Note 20 for a $1000,I purchased the Note 20 ultra Mistic Black 512GB from Amazon for $1099.00.

    This was good review, but what I think is that is better to look at the note 10

    I used to buy every new phone every year since s8 plus and I lost more than 5 grand on them. After iPhone 11 Pro I stick to it and saved bunch of the bucks, thank God I have stopped buying phones every year.

    Which should you buy?

    Ans: neither.

    An alternative: *Sony Xperia 5 ii*

    Look it up. You are welcome

    The plastic back is a huge bonus personally. I’d much rather have a back that is unlikely to crack/shatter/scratch. Plus no fingerprint smudges.

    I’ve been a diehard Note-only user since the Note 3. I’ve always loved these devices, and never would have imagined switching off of them.

    But Samsung is shooting themselves in the foot by only giving major updates to their flagship devices for 2 years. My Note 9 is already outside that window. It still works flawlessly and has great hardware which is still futureproof two years later. But the lack of future updates means that my Note 9 will gradually fall behind and not have modern software features anymore, despite absolutely having the hardware capability for it. What’s the point of buying a futureproof flagship phone that should be viable for 4-5 years if support gets dropped for it after 2?

    Meanwhile, Apple has been supporting iPhones for 4-5+ years, which is a huge selling point, refreshing phones even as far back as the original SE with iOS 14 to keep them as modern as possible. So while I like Note devices and Android better than iPhones and iOS, I’ll likely be converting after 7+ years of happily using Notes.

    Seems like very Youtuber is complaining about the curve. I personally luv the curve so I’m glad they made this option

    I’m happy with the regular note 20. I’m not a photographer. I usually watch youtube videos and I’m impressed with the surround sound that no one really talks about. The speakers are really good. If I was tight on money I was looking at the very much lower priced pixel.
