Note it out or trade in your off phone. They are very affordable. I could’ve paid the 50 a month but I traded in my 10 xr and only pay 15 a month. 5 for the phone and 10 for phone insurance.
Honestly. I love the plastic back on the phones. It reminds me of back in the day when we could freely replace our batteries without $100+ worth of help.
It looks like a straight, pointed table and gives the impression that swiping your finger in the corner will pierce it. I like it slightly rounded, like the S8, only less like a narrow remote.
About the regular note 20 having a "better display", the reason why the note 20 ultra display looks dimmer is due to the higher refresh rate. if you lock it at 60hz, it should be brighter. higher refresh rates require more power to keep up with the extra processing. The higher the refresh rate, the dimmer the screen will be unless the screen is ultra powerful. It's the same for Gaming monitors. My 144hz LG gaming monitor is way brighter at 60hz compared to it's 144hz setting.
@Nhilistic Komrad there is a point in the video where I'm sure he reduced the refresh rate and the resolution to match the regular Note 20. Stop hatin on him everybody makes mistakes, even if I'm sure he didn't make any. Jesus!
Not true. I have both phones in my hands and even after setting ultra to 60hz wqhd regular note 20 is still way brighter. The white colors on ultra give off yellowish tint
Bruh 30 minute review only about the feel, screen, and camera. Come on couldnt you go over any other interesting features and not spend half an hour for 3 things ffs
An important thing to touch on would be the lack of the sd slot. That's the biggest issue for me. I'm considering jumping from the 20 to the 20 ultra for that reason alone
@@InsaneFlying 128gb on the note 20. I have it. Only the ultra version has a SDslot. It's not terrible but if you store a ton of music and vids apps too you might have some issues

Niiccee I got my note 8 for 80$ someone found it on the train and I brought it instantly I'm still learning on it and enjoy the size & color oh and its 64 GBs
It should be working well even longer. I’ve had a LG G7 ThinQ for over 3 years, and it works well. Ran out of storage though and had to get an SD card.
I had the S8+ Found it lackng the last few months. Especially battery life. Was barely getting a day on max setting medium power saving mode. Then I got burned by the charger cable, probably a short in the cable. And said yeah that probably did some battery damage and got the N20
I'd like to know if what he was using was a demo phone. It was playing the demo video here 0:33. There are reports that demo phones are brighter than their retail counterparts. hmmnnnn 🤔
The purpose of the note 20 is very questionable...I mean no one in their right mind would go for it.Even if you are a samsung fan the S20 makes way more sense
I think the regular Note 20 exists to make the Note 20 Ultra look even better than it already is So that way when people look at the both of them they want to buy the Note 20 Ultra because the price difference isn't too crazy and the Ultra is wayyy better...
@@swordman4916 oh well, if it's stronger than the glass one though, i'd be ok with it. In addition, it probably isn't a fingerprint magnet compared to the glass one
Thinking about switching myself, how did you get your Apple Music to switch over? And also is there a new Samsung phone coming out before I buy this one? I don’t know how often they come out.
Lew: the cheaper phone is brighter Samsung dev: some moron sent it with the 2021 display settings. (reduces the brightness on the Note 20 with 'software' problem solved.)
I dont know why I've noticed it on my galaxy s10 plus too. For some reason even though I have adaptive brightness off, the phone still dims the screen even on the highest brightness! Its so annoying! When I get out in the sun the screen gets brighter basically like I have adaptive brightness on when I have it off. I wish they would fix this
@@Sevan_UP Yeah I noticed that too on my S10 and even my old Note 5. My theory is that they probably turn on light sensor as well while at max (red line) no matter if you've turned on or off the adaptive brightness. It's weird lol
I'm a convert using iphones for 8 years, watching from S10 and my Note 20 ultra will be delivered Saturday. I never even wanted to give Samsung a chance but so glad I switched.
Yeah times change, now they just use snapdragon in certain markets to be able to claim the most powerful Android bs claim. I'd have no problem with exynos, if it reflected in the price.
Yeah it's a really good phone, the camera still good I think a really noticeable feature on note 20 ultra might be the refresh rate other than that they are almost same ❤️. I'm still in love with mine only down side is its not getting android 14 support 💔
9:04 - smaller one dimmed itself exactly to Ultra's level, most likely it just goes to outdoor mode under your lights and the Ultra doesn't edit: or it's really just video enhancer, my bad, didn't look close enough
9:04 Looks like the screen on the regular Note was extra bright like it was detecting sunshine, because you can see it starts to dim when you tilt it away from the lights in the ceiling. Maybe that sunshine compensation just didn't activate on the Ultra for some reason. Lastly, could be a production error. Simple as that.
Production error, Video Enhancer was off on the Ultra, On on the standard. It's a Samsung thing that brightens video's in Programs only. It was on RUclips so video enhancer was in effect.

THe Note 20 Ultra is a little better, with QHD+ at 120 hz, but you can't use the phone with both QHD+ and 120 hz. They're honestly both ripoffs for the price point, considering at that pricepoint you can get much better phones like the OnePlus 8 Pro or even an iPhone, which is still a better value at the $1000 pricepoint than the standard Note 20.

Could be the new glass as well. I also watched 7 commercials during this video..that dims me wanting to watch this channel. (How much money is enough?-(Case anyone?)
Its probably also due to the higher pixel density, more pixels means there is, overall, more space between pixels and that means less of the front of the phone is outputting light.
@@schapediddly just in simple terms, these borders exists only because of humans. If these borders pass through a jungle of a wildlife park, we can't tell animals to not cross, we can't distinguish between air of one country from another, just like this, so in that sense it's imaginary. Moreover, Uncle Lew emphasised the fact that the channel has a global audience not just Canadians, so the inability of the companies to send products is just because of these border issues. It's not just about US/Canada. It's about everywhere and every reviewer who expects to receive a review unit but didn't. Hope this suffice.
PARADOX 818 no it’s not. Have you seen the note 20 display? Or used it ? And the response time on spen is 100x better. Although not as good as note 20 ultra but still major improvement. And the main offset for the plastic was because of 5g as it’s still costly to put that in.
2 reasons why the regular Note 20 display " *looked* " better: 1: higher refresh rate requires more power, thus giving a slightly less saturation in 120hz mode. 2: The display on the Note 20 Ultra is called dynamic amoled. However Note 20 has a super amoled display. Don't let the name fool you, dynamic is better. It gives an overall better looking image and less eye strain. On the other hand Note 20 with super amoled display falls behind in nearly every aspect. The only advantage is slightly better saturation, but the dynamic amoled gives less eyestrain by a feautre samsung called blue light filter. Those are probably the reasons why.
No I feel the same way they do know that everyone doesn't have a car that support bluetooth now if I get this phone I can listen to my music in the car smh
I just got the 20 note, and yes I was surprised at how cheap it felt in my hand. I couldn't believe I spent more than 1000 dollars on this. I recommend getting the ultra a few 300$ more won't hurt
9:23 my wife and I ran into this same thing although on a whole different level. we were both playing a game on our phones and we noticed that the game looked alot better on my phone. problem is that i have a note 8 and she has a galaxy s 10. we made sure that all settings were set equally within the phone settings and game settings. my phone still blew her phone away as hers continued to display washed out colors
@@DocOTEPStudio For everybody having this issue, I figured it out. It only happens on the homescreen. Disabling the "Apply Dark Mode to Wallpaper " in dark mode settings should fix the issue. Washed out screen gone and now matches side by side with my note 9. Your screen should then pop. You're welcome.
I'm done, you guys perfected this shit. The editing, the filming, the information, everything is perfect. This isn't a review, this is a lot more, dear God. Epic work big fan
I'm watching this on my note 10, and I can tell you, the s pen on the note 10 has absolutely no noticable latency what so ever! So if its improved I would doubt the vast majority of users would even notice an improvement, not that I use my s pen hardly ever, but it's still flawless in its functionality.

I would totally purchase the reg. Note 20 for like $700-$800, but not $1000. I actually prefer it to the Ultra due to size, and I really like the flat screen.
So size doesn't matter.
I have the note20, so I recommend u might as well get the ultra

My Note 8 is still going strong after 27 months!

I have both Note20 Ultra and Note8. The color of my Note8 is better. The Note8 has punchier color, compared to the Note20's washed out color.
Niiccee I got my note 8 for 80$ someone found it on the train and I brought it instantly I'm still learning on it and enjoy the size & color oh and its 64 GBs
It should be working well even longer. I’ve had a LG G7 ThinQ for over 3 years, and it works well. Ran out of storage though and had to get an SD card.
I have a Note 5!
I had the S8+ Found it lackng the last few months. Especially battery life. Was barely getting a day on max setting medium power saving mode. Then I got burned by the charger cable, probably a short in the cable. And said yeah that probably did some battery damage and got the N20

There are reports that demo phones are brighter than their retail counterparts. hmmnnnn 🤔
The premium feel breaks on the first drop. I rather go for the more durable one.
The purpose of the note 20 is very questionable...I mean no one in their right mind would go for it.Even if you are a samsung fan the S20 makes way more sense
I think the regular Note 20 exists to make the Note 20 Ultra look even better than it already is
So that way when people look at the both of them they want to buy the Note 20 Ultra because the price difference isn't too crazy and the Ultra is wayyy better...
Spending a grand on Androids in general is a bad investment since they only give u security/software updates for about 3 years at best

Lew: the cheaper phone is brighter
Samsung dev: some moron sent it with the 2021 display settings. (reduces the brightness on the Note 20 with 'software' problem solved.)
I dont know why I've noticed it on my galaxy s10 plus too. For some reason even though I have adaptive brightness off, the phone still dims the screen even on the highest brightness! Its so annoying! When I get out in the sun the screen gets brighter basically like I have adaptive brightness on when I have it off. I wish they would fix this
@@Sevan_UP Yeah I noticed that too on my S10 and even my old Note 5. My theory is that they probably turn on light sensor as well while at max (red line) no matter if you've turned on or off the adaptive brightness. It's weird lol

They do it to save the screen, LED burning issues is more common ibmn Samsung.

There was a time when the Exynos was the chip to have and the Snapdragon was less desirable.
Wait fr?
The S4 era.. am I right?
Radhiatama Chaliq until the s7 the Exxon’s was better
Exynos 1000 will be by far better again, based on current benchmarks with their AMD partnership.
Yeah times change, now they just use snapdragon in certain markets to be able to claim the most powerful Android bs claim. I'd have no problem with exynos, if it reflected in the price.
I have the note 20 since 2020 ! It's a great phone for heavy duty and business related tasks. Highly recommend for 2022 as well.
Still rocking my note 20😂😂came back to re watch this vid
@@alphaarrnold wow. I wanted to get a note 20 ultra today but my budget covers only the note 20. So do you advice that i get the note 20?
Yeah it's a really good phone, the camera still good I think a really noticeable feature on note 20 ultra might be the refresh rate other than that they are almost same ❤️. I'm still in love with mine only down side is its not getting android 14 support 💔
He had adaptive brightness on base note 20 you could see the brightness dim down when he turned it. Note 20 ultra is definitely better display
It's in store demo mode. Doesn't mean it was adaptive brightness.
9:04 - smaller one dimmed itself exactly to Ultra's level, most likely it just goes to outdoor mode under your lights and the Ultra doesn't
edit: or it's really just video enhancer, my bad, didn't look close enough
No it's the "Video Enhancer" on the Standard Note20 Is ON and Not on the Ultra. It's funny that Lew forgot it, as it's the same on the S20 Ultra.
@@PDXCustomPCS Thank you bro! Someone who actually knew what is going on.
@@PDXCustomPCS Exactly what happened there. Video enhancement mode cranks up the brightness and contrast during video playback.
If you look closely, the video is zoomed in on the Ultra and it's not zoomed in on the regular model.
@@PDXCustomPCS But what about the still image comparison though?
9:04 Looks like the screen on the regular Note was extra bright like it was detecting sunshine, because you can see it starts to dim when you tilt it away from the lights in the ceiling. Maybe that sunshine compensation just didn't activate on the Ultra for some reason. Lastly, could be a production error. Simple as that.
Production error, Video Enhancer was off on the Ultra, On on the standard. It's a Samsung thing that brightens video's in Programs only. It was on RUclips so video enhancer was in effect.
@@PDXCustomPCS Thanks for that!
@@Tomiply Lew still doesn't even know. He still thinks the screen on Standard Note 20 is more bright lol.
This is the only channel that can criticize phones without having to worry about companies because he has become that big and popular, no other channel has the courage to criticize these big companies like lew do .
And thats why i watch him.
In Europe we get the same old Exynos 990 lol whilst other regions get the SD865 Plus opposed to the regular 865 😂 Yet the price is about the same or more in certain markets, well done Samsung you bunch of geniuses
Even more expensive in some, its 200 dollars more expensive in my country.
I thought every country get the exynos chip except North America? Australians have the same problem, also for the plastic version is $1500aud here and $1850 for the note 20 ultra. Hard pass for me for lots of people it seems
@@only4hw yea every region gets exynos except north america
@@only4hw it's 1040 usd or 78k inr for normal one n 1400 usd or 105k inr for ultra model even though they r made locally here , they will slash their price in 2-3 month by atleast 5-10k inr they do this every time
Because Samsung not respect their customers only Chinese and USA have the powerful prosser sanp dragon but the global have shit exynos 990 plus the GPU have different versions the Global comes with Mali-G77 MP11 but in USA and China comes with Adreno 650 which is unfair
These phones’ displays are amazing!
They outta be for the price...
@@mercedesbenzs600bash Actually, spec-wise the standard Note 20 has an awful display. It's only FHD+ at 60 hz. THe Note 20 Ultra is a little better, with QHD+ at 120 hz, but you can't use the phone with both QHD+ and 120 hz. They're honestly both ripoffs for the price point, considering at that pricepoint you can get much better phones like the OnePlus 8 Pro or even an iPhone, which is still a better value at the $1000 pricepoint than the standard Note 20.
They BETTER update it letting you do full resolution and high fps
1000 dollars for a 60 hertz screen and 1080P isn't amazing. It's fucking criminal too charge so much.
@@asavage3907 samsung fell off this year. Overpriced and questionable specs
Full QHD resolution does not work on the ultra when high refresh is enabled.
Maybe the reason for display difference
He switched to 60hz fh+ still the same result
@@mouadtalbi4170 oh yeah he does.
My bad.
Honestly I put all of my phones in a otter box, so the fact the note 20 has a plastic back means zero to me.
I have a note 10. My phone slid off my bed (maybe 20 inches) and it cracked the rear glass. Despite being in a case. I agree with your comment.
@@TommyMLe Just your average hard case. It's a spider crack that starts at the volume rocker switch and then branches out into 3 lines across the back. Doesn't affect functionality though.
Everybody: picks up a bronze note 20 ultra

Redmi has Spyware so no.
Crypto Miner Yeah I’ll never get a redmi even if they pay me to keep it
Higher refresh usually dims displays a little that might be why. And the 1080p while it's in 120hz mode. Interesting though.
Has the dim display quandary been resolved?
@@mrevis99 Its nothing which can be solved easily. It has physical limitations. its not software based
Could be the new glass as well. I also watched 7 commercials during this video..that dims me wanting to watch this channel. (How much money is enough?-(Case anyone?)
Its probably also due to the higher pixel density, more pixels means there is, overall, more space between pixels and that means less of the front of the phone is outputting light.
@@goosebumper88 Each pixel has its own light on an OLED screen so it can't be that
Maybe that fancy shmancy new glass on the ultra makes the screen look more dull
You may be onto to something there. 🤔
he did say it looks like the image is deeper into the glass. Its gotta be the way light passes through that tougher gorilla glass
They didn't send the bronze one??? 😵
Man I hate imaginary borders
Imaginary?
@@schapediddly Country borders. Just watch the Lew Later podcast previous to this video.
@@milindagarwal6545 I know you were referring to the Canadian/US border here, but I just don't understand the imaginary part of it.
@@schapediddly just in simple terms, these borders exists only because of humans. If these borders pass through a jungle of a wildlife park, we can't tell animals to not cross, we can't distinguish between air of one country from another, just like this, so in that sense it's imaginary. Moreover, Uncle Lew emphasised the fact that the channel has a global audience not just Canadians, so the inability of the companies to send products is just because of these border issues. It's not just about US/Canada. It's about everywhere and every reviewer who expects to receive a review unit but didn't. Hope this suffice.
There's no Bronze Note 20 Ultra in the US either
Me: Galaxy buds live price
Samsung : give two kidneys and get two kidneys
Now thats funny. 😏

Nobody:
Samsung: cuts cost in a 1000$ phone with a plastic back!
People: omg! Apple is so expensive
Thanks to 5g lol they have to sacrifice
Even the small Note 10 from last year looks like a better deal than the regular Note 20.
PARADOX 818 no it’s not. Have you seen the note 20 display? Or used it ? And the response time on spen is 100x better. Although not as good as note 20 ultra but still major improvement. And the main offset for the plastic was because of 5g as it’s still costly to put that in.
J J bro 5g is like bullshit now companies are increasing the price of phones for that
Well at least they r going forward not backwards with tech in phones 🤭
Anyone else find the “background” music in the beginning a bit overwhelming ?
I hope that someday I can be on a point of my life that I can just swipe premium phones in my table just like Lew did lol
thank you! God bless you!
I do it now 😂 despite paying full price out of my own pocket
He probably gets review copies from Samsung this is great marketing for them
Kevin Hicks yeah that's how it works
2 reasons why the regular Note 20 display " *looked* " better: 1: higher refresh rate requires more power, thus giving a slightly less saturation in 120hz mode. 2: The display on the Note 20 Ultra is called dynamic amoled. However Note 20 has a super amoled display. Don't let the name fool you, dynamic is better. It gives an overall better looking image and less eye strain. On the other hand Note 20 with super amoled display falls behind in nearly every aspect. The only advantage is slightly better saturation, but the dynamic amoled gives less eyestrain by a feautre samsung called blue light filter. Those are probably the reasons why.
I am planning to buy which do you think you can recommend the note 20 or the note 20 ultra?
