      It's sad that these phones have to be forced to use the 5G modem. If the Note 20 was 800 it wouldn't be that bad. I don't know how well the Note 10 lite sold but maybe with a few more compromises and a starting price of $500-600 then it would be more of a compelling argument. I'll be holding of in buying a 5G until my current smartphone dies. Maybe in 4-5 years, 5G will be ubiquitous and affordable so it cost me an arm and an leg to jump onto the next generation of technology instead of the hype train or the current buzz worthy trend "I am suppose to be on".

      @tamwilfred 4 года назад +1

      @Arasu Filvendor I mean in 2019 Samsung was third and fourth for the most popular smartphones sold; it was the A10 and A50 that sold well. So if you make a plastic phone you have to price it for what people think it is worth it. The Note is supposed to be the premium line. Samsung, Please don't nickel and dime your customers.

    • @chuckfriebe843
      @chuckfriebe843 4 года назад +8

      I know, right? Like when did a glass phone that could shatter just by looking at it, become the standard. Remember when we used to worry about just the screen shattering. Well, now we have to worry about the entire phone shattering. These reviewers have been brainwashed into thinking that glass means premium. It's what's under the hood that matters, right?

    • @tamwilfred
      @tamwilfred 4 года назад +6

      @@chuckfriebe843 The problem was that people were complaining when Samsung was making plastic phones. The best selling Samsung were the S3 and S4 which sold about 70 million and 80 respectively. The S5 did terrible with only 40% of that number and then Samsung decided to move to a "premium" material; glass. Sales did better with the S7 and S8 and Samsung decided to stick with that design language. It seems like the rest of the industry saw that. So the rest of the industry followed. I think Samsung tried to keep the plastic look or the more rugged phone with their active line. There was an Active S6, S7, and S8. Apparently, this line never did so well so the Active line was dropped; there was no Active S9 or Active S10. I think the problem was that the Active line cost about $100 more which people could buy a $30 case and provide the same protection. These companies just make what people demand and apparently people like a sexy fragile phone yet probably 70% of those people also put a thick case on their phones. There is only a niche market of people who still enjoy the plastic phone or the removal battery. There are still phones out there like that but it no longer the flagship or the mainstream phone you find at your local store. The only exceptions are the mid-range phones that still use plastic; look at Samsung's A series.

So my note 8 number is transferred too my Note 20. Note 8 has it's own new number. Basically I got my note 8 that I luv and my new note 20👌🏿. If you a Sprint customer,check your local Sprint/Tmobile store out and ask about the free line. Btw,I paid absolutely nothing for the Note 20👏🏿. Just paid $92 too own my note 8🤷🏿‍♂️ after leasing it for few years.

    You've used it for 2 weeks and that's fine. But if you were to use it long term, I think you'd find the lack of an
    SD card on a 128GB phone that costs $1000 unacceptable and a no-go.
    The worst part is it doesn't cost them anything at all. Instead of a dual sim, they just use a hybrid sim slot. The cost of the parts would be minimal to the ponit of nil. It seems like they intentionally gimped it to up the Note 20 ultra. All the others you could forgive and live without. But on a 4k camera 50MP photo phone, 128GB is nothing.

    Thanks for the insightful review. I have a note 8 and am considering upgrading to a Note 20. I'm an S pen user, note taker, scribbler, amateur sketcher and amateur photographer. I use my stylus for work on a daily basis and use it to navigate my phone. Personally, I find the plastic back to be an asset. I always use a case with my phone and feel that there is too much hype around the glass back. Considering that I won't even look at a glass back, I prefer to have a lighter phone. I do think the phone is too expensive but there is no other phone on the market that meets my wants/needs and I'm certainly not willing to spend the extra money on a Note Ultra. Again, thanks for the informative, insightful review :)

    Considering most of the highend phones presented at the end were really highend and gave top notch specs during their time. A $1000 for such unit isnt justifiable. Great phones arent getting cheap, but cheap phones are getting better. There are a lot of phones aleeady with 5g and are below $800. The ultra maybe great but this one is a sure let down. And shouldn't be anyone's gadget match.

    One of the few things that excite me about the Ultra is 120hz. Not much reason to upgrade from my Note 9 otherwise. I only use my phone on FHD anyway. I need something new and exciting when I get a new phone. I think all phones should be made of plastic. They are lighter & more durable. The Note 20 proves plastic can look good. Glass is slippery & easily broken; irregardless if I always use a case.

    This would have been a good phone if only it has a higher refresh rate. A higher refresh rate just makes everything extra smoother in the eyes. Don’t really care about the plastic back if it feels good in the hand. I only chose the ultra 5g because of the screen.

      Even though the screen is only 1080p it is still a quality samsung screen that many cheaper devices will not have , and that also includes water resistance , the full galaxy software suite , the dex function , they are all still there and cost samsung dollars to make , and are all features cheaper devices do not have .....apples for apples .

    Fantastic production as always Mike! Love the content and quality editing!
    The Note 20 is a good buy for me because Samsung gives me $550 for my Note 9 for trade-in. They will only give me $250 for the Note 9 if I buy the A71, which then only brought the Note 20 within $100 difference to the A71. So, whether $1000 is overpriced or not, to me, the trade-in program makes it bearable.

      @@13bonewacker In specs, it appear so. Believe me, I spent the last 3 weeks visiting Best Buys to compare and make sure. In real life, the Note 20's screen looks better than my Note 9's, brighter, bigger. And no matter how many time I switched back and forth on my Note9 from FHD÷ to WQHD+, I can not tell the difference. Since battery life is very important for me, if I get the Ultra, I would run it at FHD+ 60fps anyway.
      As far as the premium feel, no matter what phone I get, I have always had them inside a case. So in the past when I chased phones with special colors, I don't see it anyway.
      With those reasons, I am a good candidate for Note 20.
