[I'm sorry for blabbering in advance...] Sadly (but expectedly), no. I already bought a phone right for my budget (OnePlus 7), and 95% of the features you can get in the Ultra is available in it's less pricey relatives S20 and S20+. But then again, its main reason for being called the Ultra is by having those awesome 5% that appeals to a small group of people. If you want the best of the best and you dont have a limit to your budget, then the Ultra is for you. Overall, the S20 Ultra is an amazing phone (maybe even a bit revolutionary) and it's definitely befitting of the title "Ultra". :D
You should do a rewiew after some months because the phone does is trying to know how to use it and will optimize so.e things after some time my note 10 + 5G now lasts 150% longer because it knows how i use it
I just gotta say that this is by far Thee best review for this phone. Ever. I really love how you expand it from multiple perspectives, and your opinions were non biased but rather based on logical reasoning, and that is something that is very rare and I love it absolutely love it.
The phone is for people who can afford it. People who can't afford it put it down which is petty. It's amazing phone and out does pretty much everything on the market. If you can't afford it then don't get it but stop bashing it. I swapped my iphone 11 pro max and I can honestly say it made that phone feel 5 years old.
There’s only one thing missing from S20 Ultra from being fully perfect and that’s the S-pen. I can’t wait for the note 20 to come big display 120hz with the s-pen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video. However I think it's only fair that when it comes to the s20 range that it's made very clear which chip set model it is and the fact that the preformance and photography, battery life will vary greatly between the exynos and snapdragon models.
I really don't to much care about the Samsung phones, but nick gives the best phone reviews on all phones. I have to say nick, keep helping me and others master technology.
TBH this youtube channel need more subs and fame.....Literally every other top techtubers(sorry but I am not blaming others just giving my opinion) just get the review units and show only basics of a phone ...thats it....But here literally every basic thing r8 from Specs,Performance,short term review, long term review, AND even UI comparision nd tips and tricks,etc...you do all Nick! In short I would say u cover literally everything....I just loved how u waited for the software update to come on s20 plus for a fair review whereas others already did camera comparisions before the update...Oh yeah U even do Camera tests!....just love ur channel,keep up💪🏼,Stay Safe😄
You do great work, brother. I upgraded from the Note 8 to the S20+ and thoroughly enjoyed the new build, UI, and 120 hz refresh rate. However, I went back 10 days later for the ultra and haven't looked back. Boss speakers, super display, exceptional battery life, charging speeds, etc... But, the camera... Though marginally better than the S20+ (when focus is locked in), I believe the device will see improvements with future updates (similarly to the S10). I also think the $1,400 price point will show in Apple as they look to adopt 5G modems and 120hz in the 12 series. 5g modems are $125 - $200. The India market has 4g variants and the cost for an Ultra is about $1,220.
Only issue I have with the Ultra is the Exynos chipset and my battery doesn't last nearly as long as I would expect as it usually dies within 7hrs or so.
Can’t believe Samsung thinks they can charge these prices. I’m quite sure sales would have been poor for this even without this global pandemic. Too many other android devices to think yours is this precious.
Its definitely a beast I had mine for 2 days i don't even use my xs max much anymore this phone is on another level the display tje performance all the features but I'm mixed on the camera
3:30 i like to have volume rockers with power button because on my oneplus, i always take a screenshot whenever i want to power off the device or turn the volume up or down
Man, imagine what the dude who buys a phone every 25 years will buy after a couple more years later... the power gap between his previous and future phone will be monumental.
I like the phone but it's annoying to have fingerprints on the back. That's why I like apples build quality cause no fingerprints on the back. Btw I don't actually have it I'm broke
We seriously need more matte-back/textured phones. The new premiums (or phones in general) should have more durable backs, not fingerprint magnets that require a lot of care and maintenance. :V
I love your videos and i trust your words My question is about the camera your saying it's not the best is even compared to s20/+ ,is it because the auto focous problem or the quality of the picture And is it improved after this update I have the s10+(a huge samsung guy) Much love peace❤ I didn't upgrade beacuse i love my phone alot
Nick i didn't get update for my phone. One ui 2.0, android 10 in my a50 phone. Im from india. And Samsung released it yesterday. Did u know any way i can get??
Decided to get the s20 ultra over oneplus 8 pro cause OnePlus hasn't restocked that i know of that phone and been tired waiting for it. Still sold out unfortunately.
I think we're underestimating the price for 5g modems and 120hz that flagship devices will charge. I believe 5g modems are $125 - $200. The India market has 4g variants and the cost for an Ultra is about $1,220.
always loved samsung, but the fact that they ship 2 different chipsets for phones over the 900 mark is really scummy. also if they fix their updates and extend it to atleast 4 years and make it so that everyone gets it at the same time i think alot of people will switch from iphone. truth be told i love the iphone but there are certain things i miss from android
Well if you are buying this phone specifically for that smoothness, is not worth it. You can get an AMOLED 120Hz display with the much cheaper Asus ROG II.
what I don't understand is why they don't have all the abilities of the phone available example, the e-sim, it has it, why won't they let me use it, I travel expensively over seas, dual sim card capacity is very handy, I can put my prime provider on the e-sim, put the local guy in the sim tray, shouldn't have to go with the overseas version (No warranty lesser capabilities) to do this. Bummed.
I said it before $1400 for 128gb is ridiculous and no idolatry care for SD card I’ve used and SD card for my G1 and never did again, I rather 256 go of fast storage
Are you sure? I've tested the displays refresh rate when playing games and benchmarking it. Compared to my former Note 9, its significantly better in terms of gaming. In a game called geometry dash, I straight fly like dog shiet, but I've noticed w/120hz FR, I've flown straighter.
@@scarehalo5 Yes I am sure. I've brought this topic to the XDA Forums. To check ur in-game fps go to developer options and enable GPU watch. The only game I found truly I'm 120FPS is Subway Surfer. Other phones like OnePlus or Asus with high hz screens do also get a higher framerate from supported games. But not the s20. Btw I have the exynos version so I can't speak for the 865 models tho.
@@scarehalo5 Try as many games you want. The only game i've found to run in 120fps is Subway Surfer. But i suspect that mate be cuz it's not even using gpu or because it's so low demanding.. This topic must reach the top youtubers and samsung

Imo S20 plus is a sweet spot & great for most people bro !
Is anyone else disappointed that Samsung only made the S20 Ultra in black and grey? I was at least expecting a white/silver or maybe a blue too.
Gold would have also been a pretty cool colour
techbud definitely would be, hope they release a special edition color later.
I think their logic is that "you'll probably be paying for a case in the color you want your phone to be".
Yeah when I got mines, he handed me the black one and I was like whats the other colors lol. Only black and grey smh give me the black one 😤...
they probably say: ya'll probably using case sooo let's use black and gray colours
My s20 ultra has been a beast since day one love the camera since the update . And the speed is crazy
I like how Samsung has so much features Apple lacks a lot of important features
@Terminator Apple doesnt even have a Radio app..talk about day to day.
Who cares ? Black looks better with everything anyways
I absolutely love this phone!!
I just gotta say that this is by far Thee best review for this phone. Ever.
I really love how you expand it from multiple perspectives, and your opinions were non biased but rather based on logical reasoning, and that is something that is very rare and I love it absolutely love it.
This phone is a beast I'm playing a game and watching your RUclips video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
How to do that
The phone is for people who can afford it. People who can't afford it put it down which is petty. It's amazing phone and out does pretty much everything on the market. If you can't afford it then don't get it but stop bashing it. I swapped my iphone 11 pro max and I can honestly say it made that phone feel 5 years old.
Same here! My 11 pro Max is collecting dust right now. Just got the camera update today and this just got so much better!
@@ngartola since this camera update this phone crushes everything out there.
yet its worse than the oppo find x2 pro, which is significantly cheaper
@@TheBigEmstos a phone that lacks wireless and reverse charging?
There’s only one thing missing from S20 Ultra from being fully perfect and that’s the S-pen. I can’t wait for the note 20 to come big display 120hz with the s-pen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video as always!
I am getting this phone when I get paid. I am leaving ios again for android. Hopefully I don’t regret my decision
I like your in details, lengthy reviews
Great video. However I think it's only fair that when it comes to the s20 range that it's made very clear which chip set model it is and the fact that the preformance and photography, battery life will vary greatly between the exynos and snapdragon models.
i am switching from iphone 7 plus to this. do u agree?
Hey nick which one between the s20 ultra or iPhone 11 pro max would u pick just for camera
In terms of price, probably the 11 pro max, but the regular s20 is a better option
Yes but the battery will be disappointing on the s20
I really don't to much care about the Samsung phones, but nick gives the best phone reviews on all phones. I have to say nick, keep helping me and others master technology.
Hey Nick excellent details. The background table cover looks like Samsung Fold's cover design.

I were tempted to swap my iPhone 11 Pro Max for this phone as I love android a lot and I had the s10 plus and loved it .

Awesome review thank you Nick👍👌👏
I love your videos bro.keep it up👍👍👍
Only issue I have with the Ultra is the Exynos chipset and my battery doesn't last nearly as long as I would expect as it usually dies within 7hrs or so.
With the lower prices would you recommend the S20/S20plus over the S10 plus?
Hi Nick, very nice review, in my opinion this video will help lots of people. Do you know when is One UI 2.1 coming for the Galaxy A51?
Hello nick nice video
Did you have screen mode set to Natural or Vivid??
Great video😎
This is the fastest and the top dog right now hands down

Hey Nick can you do a video on how to beast mode your Galaxy S20/Plus/Ultra phone.

Nick Ackerman thanks bro. I didn’t notice that video of yours earlier. Thanks for the reply.❤️
You should check out the Oppo find X2 pro the 120hz works on wqhd and the display on that is gorgeous, shall we expect a video on that?
120 HZ 1440p also works on S20 Ultra
Awakened Garou no it only works on FHD! Unless you’re miraculously works with it that no other tech RUclipsr has seen than it ain’t

Really? You're upset over only 128 gigs? I typically use Pixels and they start at 64. And you love iPhones and they start at 64 gigs 😒🤔🤔
Not upset. Just don’t think it’s good value for $1400. The Note 9 was $1200 for 512Gb
