Hey guys! Since many of you have been asking, I have both an Exynos version and a Snapdragon version of the Note 20 Ultra. Though performance on benchmarks is better on the Snapdragon, that makes little to no difference in daily use for me, except that the Snapdragon seems to run a bit cooler. I have used the Notes interchangeably for shooting videos, lot of video editing on the go, extended hours of gaming etc. and have never noticed a visible performance difference between the two versions. Or better said, have never noticed any performance hiccups. Same is the case with the average battery life as I mentioned in the video. My point being that the two versions are not that different that I could notice anything during daily use. Just my opinion of course. Not condoning Samsung here, but I wouldn't worry so much about the variant if I were you since benchmark isn't everything! I will definitely mention the specs in my video next time. Thanks so much for watching!
It's definitely economical to keep a device as long as possible... I got a note 8 and I think it's about time for an upgrade. Note20 coming here in a couple of days
Yes, it's definitely a versatile phone. Battery life is a bit of an issue with my use but with the 120hz and 5G, its understandable. They probably couldn't squeeze in a 5000 mah battery since they needed space for the s pen. Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel!
Nice review brother. Well done. I bought my note 20 ultra during black friday sales for $1k. It has also come with live buds for free and 1 year samsung care+. Only downside in my decision was chosing the fingerprint magnet mystic black phone.
Very informative and fun hahaha. By the way, which one should I pick for long term usage? S21U or Note20U? In my country only available Exynos and Snapdragon without warranty
Hi. Thanks for watching. The S21 Ultra will give you some upgrades on camera, CPU performance and better battery life. However, if you want a productivity tool and the S pen functionality, I recommend the Note. S pen functionality on the S21 Ultra is not great and you need to buy a bulky case for it. The Exynos 2100 on the S21 Ultra is however better than the Exynos 990 on the Note 20 Ultra. I'd say don't worry much about the Snapdragon vs Exynos in day to day use, but never buy a phone without warranty.
Nope, no heating problems. The Exynos version runs a few degrees hotter compared to the Snapdragon version but I wouldn't call this a heating issue. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, really a worthy all-rounder phone and I would say all thousand dollar phones need to be kept around for at least 3 years for the sake of our pockets! :D Thanks so much for watching!
Also if you decide to import one from KSA, remember that Samsung has a country lock making it usable only in KSA or Middle East countries. To bypass the lock, someone has to activate the phone by using a KSA sim and making some voice calls here locally. A brand new unused device from KSA will lock up if used on Indian network directly. As far as I know, Samsung does this on most of their high end models to prevent people from buying and reselling models across countries.
Will you make 1 year video of note 20 ultra what about SOT you are getting i am on iphone x and i want to switch to note but everyone are hating on exynos.
Hi. I would say the Mystic Bronze color would be a better choice since its a newer color compared to black or white and hides fingerprints very well too. Pls note however, that the Mystic Bronze is not gold, sort of rose gold / copper if you will. I recommend checking it out at a store before buying. Thanks for watching!
Can you please confirm how much heat it hits, am planning to buy and yesterday when I check in the shop and runs camera for 5 mins and its heating, salesman told its because of used it while charging, Any solution to avoid heating? It is exynos
Hi. Sorry about the late reply. I have both an Exynos and Snapdragon version. It doesn't heat as much in regular use unless its on charging or I'm shooting 4K for more than 30 mins continuously or gaming for a few hours. I guess Exynos versions are known for a bit more of heat and little lower battery life than the Snapdragon counterparts. But I've never had it overheat, nor have I experienced any slowdowns / thermal throttling on the Exynos version. I think some amount of heating is pretty much normal with today's flagship phones in general with high end processors, graphics, huge displays, bigger batteries crammed into a tight IP-certified water tight space. So get the Snapdragon if you can but the Exynos one will do just fine since in my experience it doesn't affect the usage.
Actually, I have both an Exynos version and a Snapdragon version. Though performance on benchmarks is better on the Snapdragon, that makes little to no difference in daily use for me, except that the Snapdragon seems to run a bit cooler.

Ohh!..me to bought a n20u half month ago.........although i never noticed any performance lags.........i was regretting ....that i would have imported a snapdragon version...........u cleared it ...thanks man!
Since the S21 is rumoured in Jan 2021, I guess you could wait a month and see what Samsung brings to the table. The price of the Note would go down a bit by then too.
Note is always a Note, can't compare with S series. If you are a note fanboy then you should buy note 20 ultra. If you are a first time user of note, i strongly recommend you to buy note 10 plus if available in the market. Note 10 plus is my favourite phone than note 20 ultra.
2020 has been a complete a BUST, but at least my Note 20 Ultra still Kicks ass. 😆 Had I known i was going to lose my job Id have probably waited though. Oh well.

Ah yes, the mystic bronze color hides it well. But you could always use a clear case or something. Thanks for watching.

50x is not hybrid zoom, is digital. 10x is hybrid zoom. Good video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for pointing that out btw. GSMArena mentioned it as 50x hybrid zoom. I'll check my references. Much appreciated.
After a long time, Nice attempt bro.. perfect work 👏👏👏👏
Thanks bro!
Is there any heating problems with the note 20 ultra or has updates fixed that
Nope, no heating problems. The Exynos version runs a few degrees hotter compared to the Snapdragon version but I wouldn't call this a heating issue. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TechImaginist great thank you for the answer I don’t game really not big games anyway just internet RUclips etc hoping to get one
By far this is the best phone I've ever owned! I'm keeping this baby for at least three years!
Yes, really a worthy all-rounder phone and I would say all thousand dollar phones need to be kept around for at least 3 years for the sake of our pockets! :D Thanks so much for watching!

Wow great job bro thanks for sharing
I want to buy note 20 ultra frm Saudi Arabia can i use it in India?? Does it will have international warranty??
Hi! Thanks for watching. No, units purchased from KSA will have warranty in KSA only.
Also if you decide to import one from KSA, remember that Samsung has a country lock making it usable only in KSA or Middle East countries. To bypass the lock, someone has to activate the phone by using a KSA sim and making some voice calls here locally. A brand new unused device from KSA will lock up if used on Indian network directly. As far as I know, Samsung does this on most of their high end models to prevent people from buying and reselling models across countries.
@@TechImaginist thanks for this useful information
Will you make 1 year video of note 20 ultra what about SOT you are getting i am on iphone x and i want to switch to note but everyone are hating on exynos.
Please reply if this is the exynos variant then what was the maximum sot(screen on time that) you got sir please reply and your voice is good
Yes, this is the exynos variant I reviewed. I've mentioned the screen ontime details in the video. Thanks for watching.
Very useful review 👌. Sir White or gold wich one is better choice.. your opinion please
Hi. I would say the Mystic Bronze color would be a better choice since its a newer color compared to black or white and hides fingerprints very well too. Pls note however, that the Mystic Bronze is not gold, sort of rose gold / copper if you will. I recommend checking it out at a store before buying. Thanks for watching!
@@TechImaginist thank you so much i appreciate your valuable advice anyway thank you so much
For next 3 year I'll be sticking with my note 20 ultra. After this I'll be switching over rollable or foldable phones
Can you please confirm how much heat it hits, am planning to buy and yesterday when I check in the shop and runs camera for 5 mins and its heating, salesman told its because of used it while charging,
Any solution to avoid heating?
It is exynos

So get the Snapdragon if you can but the Exynos one will do just fine since in my experience it doesn't affect the usage.
I also noticed that the S21 Ultra with Exynos 2100 runs cooler than the Note 20 Ultra. Review coming soon!
Great review

Your phone uses Exynos or Snapdragon ?

Yep, can't wait for the S21 Ultra. 😀 Thanks for watching bro
should I buy this or wait for s21
Since the S21 is rumoured in Jan 2021, I guess you could wait a month and see what Samsung brings to the table. The price of the Note would go down a bit by then too.
