The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a beast of a phone, but do you need to upgrade to Samsung’s latest, or is last year’s Note 10 Plus a better buy? Note 10 Plus Samsung: Best Buy: Galaxy Note 20 Samsung: Best Buy: *CNET may get a commission from these offers. 00:00 – Note 20 Ultra…

Thanks for watching! Since we recorded this video, Samsung dropped the price of the Note 20 Ultra by $200 in the US so it’s now a bit cheaper 💰

wow that’s awesome , in Europe we pay 1600$ (US) for the base mode and we get midrange proccessor Exynos990 .
Thank you Samsung!
I think Samsung give Europe garbage hardware at insane prices so they can afford to give U.S. best hardware at cheaper prices.

I almost regret selling my Note 10+ but keyword almost, because I got some of money back and I was able to get a different phone and I still have plenty of $$$ left, I was tempted to order the Note 20 Ultra but I am so glad I didn’t. Sammy is doing some shaddy stufff with their phones and I do not agree. Lexy, is that an engagement ring on your finger?

I own both, unlocked blue Note 10 Plus and unlocked bronze Note 20 Ultra. I traded in my Note 9 for the Note 20 Ultra and paid 750 out the door + 200 in store credit through Samsung. Sweet deal. However, I would not be able to justify the full retail cost, especially if you are coming from a Note 10 Plus. It’s an incremental upgrade. I am very happy with my purchase. Cameras, speakers and screen have been updated and the improvements are noticeable.
With that said, the unboxing was bland (just the charger in the box) and the lower storage with only one color choice at 512 Gigs is pretty wack. All in all, get it for a good price and you will be happy.

Exynos has very poor performance. Poor battery life. Phone gets hot often for no reason, A short gameplay causes the chipset to overheat and throttle performance.

S Pen being on the left side is not worth it for me. I’m waiting for the Note 10+ to drop more closer to $700 – $800 as no android phone is worth more than that imo.
Andrew Jamison
September 11, 2020 at 4:57 pm
actually, i have seen a 0-100% comparison using 25w vs 45w and your looking at maybe 10-minute difference in overall time to go from 0-100 so really is the 45w worth an extra 10 minutes off the charger would be my question.

Still very happy with my Exynos note 10+ that I got 9 months ago. Still very snappy, no lag or bluetooth issues like I had on my s8, the screen is amazing and I love fast charging. I bought it wanting a change from a line of iPhones and I have no regrets

Living in an exynos region luckily got the snapdragon note 10+ 5G, using the phone for 8 months now, without gaming im able to do 2days of battery life no charging needed, with gaming i get 8 to 11 hours of screen on time depending on the usage, excellent sound, excellent video and picture quality, no overheating and lagging even on extensive gaming session, what else can i ask for? Note 20 ultra? Sure but, no thanks 😁

Hi Lexy. Between the Galaxy Note 10+ and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, my choice would be the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Better audio quality, better photography, power button is back on the right side of the phone and now Samsung deducted $200 off the original price tag. That was nice for the price deduction w/o any trade ins taking effect. I currently have the Galaxy Note 8 and I have intentions on getting the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. This will be a big jump for me via upgrade. In the coming weeks I’ll get the Note 20 Ultra in Mystic White equipped with the 512 GB internal storage. I have a 512 GB micro sd memory card which will make my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ready and loaded.

I bought my Huawei Mate 10 Pro three years ago and it still does everything very well to the point that I am only looking at other phones for a bigger screen, 6gb of Ram and 128gb storage are still adequate for my usage. I am not sure what 5g will do better on my phone as yet, I don’t need to stream films any faster, games on touchscreen mobile are not my thing.

I’m rocking the note 10+ ever since march 1st 2020. And still will for at least 2 – 3 more years. I also have the samsung galaxy buds (the first ones not the buds+ or the buds Live), JBL Clip 3 (& the Sony WH-1000XM3 just to flex 💪 a lil, just kidding 😂 I wouldn’t blow 400 bucks on a pair of headphones, I got them as a Christmas gift in Dec 2019) and the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (2019) (this was a Christmas gift too) for when I wanna watch a whole movie but I’m not at home. The electronics I own may not be the “Latest & Greatest” but they do the job.

Debating which note to get, but the google pixel 4a is much better on the pocket. OnePlus 8 pro can get some love too. Even though its also expensive. Lexi gets the most love, no matter the price.

Thats a good result for me as I took a gamble on the Note 10 plus 5g in July discounted to £750 as I was not keen on the fragile looking camera module on the S20 series and also staff in the shop had broke their’s.
