Excellent as always Chris but.... No Snapdragon....No Samsung.... Fed up being ripped off with Samsung forcing their crappy Exynos chips on Europe while USA gets the more powerful Snapdragon.
You don't need the faster processor in Europe. Samsung knows this. They could give you processors from 5 versions ago and you wouldn't even notice a difference unless someone told you someone else had something better.
@@MatterIsNotSolid I'd have to disagree, your average consumer might not know why but reckon they would notice the worse battery life and/or increased heat output from an older chip or Exynos chip.
MatterIsNotSolid and why do we not need the faster processors in Europe? Every other phone manufacturer who sell phones in Europe use the best processors... don’t talk nonsense.
On phones this big alot of people avoid cases, i know i am one of these people but I tend to put a skin on my phones, the only time I put a case on is for the beach or long hiking trips i put a waterproof case that add alot of bulk, too much for daily use.
For a lot of people this can be the only device they need. If I wasn't an android/ios dev i don't think I would have a real laptop anymore. This plus a 250 bucks nextdock for when I need to be out of the house...1400bucks is the perfect "single" device for a lot of people. Plus price is about value...and there's not another phone as fine tuned, featurepacked, and reliable as this device for cheaper.
@Jimi Barker I hear you but the only phone I tried a case with was my Note 8 which ended up with scratches from dirt getting between the phone and case but my Note 10+ after a year is well mint as it always gets a pocket to itself.
@Jimi Barker no you need a screen protector and keep your pockets dust free. And also need to be careful not dropping your phone. My xperia s was the last phone of mine i didn't use with a case after 2 years i sold it and if you saw the thing you wouldn't even believe it was used. Since i started working i wasn't as careful anymore.
Only just come across this RUclips channel and been following it for 2 or 3 weeks. Great reviews straight to the point no fannying around and find the humor very funny. I am a fan of this channel keep up the good work!
Chris, I love your videos. Two of my favourite things combined, tech and humour. I watch all of your videos even when I'm not looking to buy the product because you bring the laughs that I need! Please don't ever change!
Got my 512GB Note 20 Ultra (bronze) today with free Buds Live (which are brilliant with plenty of base). Added a cheap but good £15 case until the UAG Monarch arrives plus a 1TB Sandisk Extreme USD card. Used Smartswitch to 'move' from my Samsung S9+. Brilliant phone and I can't fault it. Just don't make them any wider! Thanks for the honest reviews. Battery life really shouldn't be an issue on the Exynos unless you are glued to it all day long.
@@andyH_England that's exactly what happened. Although I don't sure if it's all the same🤔 but a big chunk of the review is the same recording as previously.
Hey Chris just wanted to drop a thank you as I really needed some help with choosing a phone, and due to the fact that there wasn't many mi mix 3 5g reviews your reviews really helped me and so I picked one up and it is amazing for the price! Your reviews are amazing and highly underrated so thanks for everything :)

This phone in Mystic Bronze is sooo beautiful. The best looking smartphone in 2020 IMO. But that Exynos is a good enough reason to completely avoid this phone.
Anyone can order the Snapdragon version, just need to look further than the carriers. In the US, I could order the Exynos if I wanted to also (obviously not...)
~1300$ + shipping + customs fee ~21%. No 2 year basic warranty so + buy $amsung's one if u want to have a "just incase" charger adapter.. Add up all that and tell me it's worth it? Just wait 3 4 months and u'll find it for half price second hand one with all the bullocks
Such a great phone, allrounder with beautiful design... like its predecessors! Unfortunately also Exynos and Euro 1300... Always end up with a OnePlus rather.... Great review though!

Sir your reviews are very good, but you this time forgot to show speakers of note 20 ultra, I want to see how good is it stereo speakers, moreover a very excellent review as always👍👍👍👍
The video you showed on phone was "upgrade" not "umbrella academy" but you are very busy so will forgo your mistake. 😂 You are the funniest and best tech reviewer I have ever known. Keep up the good work. 😷🍻
Here in the US here my friends are having issues with the camera lag time in Taking pictures. Yes we are spoiled with having a better in general with the Snapdragon version. For some the lag time I'm photos are not an issue. Others you missed the shot of babys first steps. The other issue is 5g using more battery then you have bloatware and there updates. Taking up space for apps you never use. For most they live with it. The price is out for me at $1400.I use the S10e I bought it for$340 dollars. Bought it on Amazon. Its a flagship phone in its own right.Awesome real world review 🙂😎 ..
Where is this builtin screen protector? I got the pull off one that had a tab on the top and a hole near the fingerprint sensor. Thar's it. What built in protector is he talking about if not that pull off one?
Yeah. Was my beef too. Had the 11 Pro Max before this (Note 20 Ultra) and yah battery was better. However, i did implement a few battery saving measures (13 to be exact lol - was from a RUclips Video) yesterday and have noticed a huge difference in battery performance without suffering in overall speed and screen quality- to a point of legit optimism 🤣. 😎😎😎😎😎 Everything else is just so money and fun to use. Had to get out of the iOS sandbox, and onto the epic rolling hills of NOTE 20 land...
Hello I m frm india... Getting exynose variant only. Can you suggest the way to get Snapdragon variant.. I found it on ebay but not sure about authenticity
I've considered so many phones this year and as it goes on another goes into consideration. Now I've pre ordered the galaxy watch 3 (getting 15% cashback through top cashback and Currys) I feel I'll get more from it tethered to a Samsung phone. Note ultra or save money and get S20+ (£749 at wonda mobile)..... I'm not very good at making decisions 🤣 Oh and great review as usual 😎👍
Loving brother, your all videos is awesome... I like to use your wallpaper.. Please share me wallpaper source which you using all.. I am from Bangladesh, Asia
My Note 9 was delivered Aug 23, 2018 at 10:43am. If FedEx is consistent about delivery times, I could possibly have my Note 20 Ultra 512gb in approximately 6 hours!!! Excitement has me up early! New Note Day!!!!
When are reviews of the Note 20 non ultra coming out. Despite the unbelievable decision by Samsung to use plastic on the rear, I might still be interested, if it reviews well enough.
Great stuff as always, definitely one of my favourite reviewers. I've got a Snapdragon version on the way, although I've got to wait until early next month for it. Still worth it though as I got stung with the S20 Ultra and the crappy Exynos chip
@@JT74 Wonda mobile by chance ? What's putting me off is Region Lock and that it's not covered by Samsung UK 24 month manufacturing warranty only 12 months via Wonda. I'm conflicted !!
I feel like a winner being exynos user . Not an issue to me . People talk too much about it , It's specs on paper . There is no difference in every day use .A blink of an eye sometimes speed wise . Also exynos users in uk get 256gb of base storage instead of 128gb for snapdragon 865+ users which to me is worth more than a snapdragon 865+. I do not play games so to me storage is more important , and exynos can make better quality pictures when zoomed in and if not zoomed in they are just nearly same with no major difference and both can provide better pics in some cases over each other , both good . So this exynos is still a great chipset . People shouldn't worry. Few mins battery drain difference in every day use if not playing games. Heads up !
I think jumping from s20 ultra to note 20 ultra is one of the best decisions only the auto focus and s pen are the only difference but same Exynos haha 😆 I am looking forward to buy samsung phone in the future with Snapdragon in it in my region.
I'd pretty sure I saw this video before, but I loved it nonetheless. If only the Note 20 Ultra had a bigger battery and the SD865+ and not a SD855 (when it comes to performance), it would be a great contender! For now, I'll keep my OnePlus 7 Pro and wait for the 8T Pro, being disappointed that the mi 10 ultra isn't coming to EU :(
@@kuricosmos No one would buy a $1299 phone for getting a decent battery life.. At premium pricing, quality and performance needs to be premium.. But unfortunately the Exynos variant is totally a failure for $1299. I would rather go with iPhone 11 Pro or wait for iPhone 12 Pro, if I had that amount of money to spend on a phone :)
That’s definitely a North-East of England accent. I believe he’s from Sunderland? I do agree the accent is gorgeous! I had a boyfriend from the North East back in the day and I was absolutely hooked on his accent!
I have the SD865 version and I really like it. Only thing I don't like is that my dongle for the hj adapter, doesn't work. I'd have to get a different dongle or do without because I am not buying a new car stereo because of my phone.
@@emaes2 I ordered my Note 10 plus snapdragon version there and it arrived 8 days later in the Netherlands from Hong Kong. All the reviews are superb too. I had a good experience with them!
I ran into some issues on my Note20 after buying 2days ago i was just using the phone to watch a movie and the phone overheated then the phone went to reset mode by itself. the phone screen setwent to flash mode. I took it back to the store and they said that it voided warranty. i took two a smaller shop to get fix but the man at the shop said the phone is not a software issue. it's because the motherboard burnt out on the phone and that's the reason that code comes out on phone. the phone is not a good quality don't purchase it.
Yea , yes , worth it all 1500 bucks. Have it right now in my hands as I text this message. Expensive as hell yes worth it all every single penny. Well this the US version and loving it 😍.
Got mine, the exynos one. Battery life is abysmal compared to my mi note 10 pro which has a smaller battery but lasts the whole day. I switched off the 120hz refresh rate and hope it'll at least give me 30 mins more.
How bad are we talking? Ordered mine yesterday (despite getting the shitty exynos ,as I was worried about warranty with importing and if mobile insurance would cover a SD version in the uk). Now I'm worried. I'm a heavy user and my current note 8s battery is awful. Have to charge 4-5 times a day.
@@Jiminphoria I went to the zoo yesterday and had a full charge at 10am yesterday, used the camera s ton, phone got a LITTLE warm. Used it till 6pm and I had around 60 percent battery left. I had the screen on max resolution and 60hz.
Great review and I agree about the Exynos 990 chipset being an issue. How on earth Samsung thought this was OK even though they knew it didn't handle well in the s20 Ultra is confusing. Probably the newer Exynos chipset wasn't ready so went ahead with launch anyway !!
Bit the bullet and purchases the Uk version of the Samsung Note 20 Ultra. From what I've seen recently Samsung do seem to have fine tuned the Exynos 990 since it was launched in the Samsung Galaxy s20 Ultra. Importing a Snapdragon brings too many of it's own potential issues.
Got an email, mine is arriving tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about that battery life to be honest but with with the quick charge I hopefully be able to cope.

Re-watching this so I don’t give in to temptation for the Pixel 7 Pro 😀
how did you connect a dualshock 4 to a samsung without absurd latency?
"bottom hole"
The right word, but.. Sounds.. I dunno man..
Am I alone here?
No, you're not.... 👀
Yeah, lol. Everyone calling it "pen silo", my mans coming with "bottom hole". Oh gad
Youre immature lol must be a kid
I'm still thinking if i should get note 20 ultra or oneplus 8 pro
your accent... it's what keeps me hooked lol... Scottish?
English
@@PSNGormond he sounds like a Mackem
That’s definitely a North-East of England accent. I believe he’s from Sunderland? I do agree the accent is gorgeous! I had a boyfriend from the North East back in the day and I was absolutely hooked on his accent!
Sunderland accent, very different from the Geordie accent..... Drive 1 and a half hours north then you are in Scotland..
where do u get these marvelous wallpapers of yours, i just love all your wallpapers you use and i want a link plzzzz
ever heard of google ?
Great review sir. Shows that Samsung still has a fair few issues to iron out. Worrying when they are charging this much, the phone should be perfect!
I'm assuming you'll compare it to Oneplus 8 Pro. I hope you also compare it to already classic Oneplus 7T Pro :)
5:00 it clearly says "Made for Xperia"! What are you doing man?!
what is the wallpaper resolution?
I have the SD865 version and I really like it. Only thing I don't like is that my dongle for the hj adapter, doesn't work. I'd have to get a different dongle or do without because I am not buying a new car stereo because of my phone.
I have this crazy theory that you like Steins Gate
5-6 hours battery life doesn’t sound right?
Watching on my SGN 20 ultra, while trying to save battery!
Very much the Curate's Egg - I'll hold onto my 9 for a while yet I think. Another good review thanks for the pros and cons
same here.
@@lindvallpaul9861 just jumped to an ebay P30 Pro (plus a GT2) £450 for a 512GB seems to be a blinder so far
@@grumpyladwow that was a fail
I'd love to buy the note 20 ultra it's so nice but I ain't paying that kinda money for exynos..
Thanks for the video. Thumps up.
i swear ive seen this before, is this a reupload?
He made a post about it. He had to remove his previous video (very similar to this) as Samsung didn't like him ranting about the battery lol.
@@NathanMulder but he was right tho, i just preordered the damn thing but im still conflicted if i should go thru with it.
@@emaes2 Don't get the Exynos version. Import the snapdragon version through wonda mobile if you really need a new 1300 dollar or euro phone lol.
@@NathanMulder is that a trust worthy site?
@@emaes2 I ordered my Note 10 plus snapdragon version there and it arrived 8 days later in the Netherlands from Hong Kong. All the reviews are superb too. I had a good experience with them!
Can you have Sal, Joe and Q in your next video?
I ran into some issues on my Note20 after buying 2days ago i was just using the phone to watch a movie and the phone overheated then the phone went to reset mode by itself.
the phone screen setwent to flash mode.
I took it back to the store and they said that it voided warranty.
i took two a smaller shop to get fix but the man at the shop said the phone is not a software issue.
it's because the motherboard burnt out on the phone and that's the reason that code comes out on phone.
the phone is not a good quality don't purchase it.
Yea , yes , worth it all 1500 bucks. Have it right now in my hands as I text this message. Expensive as hell yes worth it all every single penny. Well this the US version and loving it 😍.
your wallpapers are SPICY as usual, sir 😋👍🏻
A phone reviewer of culture??
Got mine, the exynos one. Battery life is abysmal compared to my mi note 10 pro which has a smaller battery but lasts the whole day. I switched off the 120hz refresh rate and hope it'll at least give me 30 mins more.
How bad are we talking? Ordered mine yesterday (despite getting the shitty exynos ,as I was worried about warranty with importing and if mobile insurance would cover a SD version in the uk). Now I'm worried. I'm a heavy user and my current note 8s battery is awful. Have to charge 4-5 times a day.
@@Jiminphoria I went to the zoo yesterday and had a full charge at 10am yesterday, used the camera s ton, phone got a LITTLE warm. Used it till 6pm and I had around 60 percent battery left. I had the screen on max resolution and 60hz.
Have a problem, when I'm typing it is like the speaker is on ,help me fix it Please.
I love the features of the note range, but I would only have another if I could get the US version.
Great review and I agree about the Exynos 990 chipset being an issue. How on earth Samsung thought this was OK even though they knew it didn't handle well in the s20 Ultra is confusing. Probably the newer Exynos chipset wasn't ready so went ahead with launch anyway !!
I do get the feeling they had a new chip in the pipeline but manufacturing slowdown shafted them. Def longing for some SD action...
@@TechSpurt I'm tempted to order from Wandamobile for the Snapdragon chipset even tho Samsung Uk won't then provide warranty support.
Bit the bullet and purchases the Uk version of the Samsung Note 20 Ultra. From what I've seen recently Samsung do seem to have fine tuned the Exynos 990 since it was launched in the Samsung Galaxy s20 Ultra.
Importing a Snapdragon brings too many of it's own potential issues.
Hey doesn't come with a scream protector doesn't come with headphones or extra tips for the S pen it's rather disappointing
RUclips, I'm watching something about Samsung Note 20 Ultra because I'm interested. I don't need some Note 20 Ultra ad
The fact you can't text with 1 handed. Doesn't it bother you?
Can you only get snapdragon 865+ in USA and China?
Brazil,Japan,South Korea too.
Good morning Christopher Spurt!! 🌄🌄🌄
wtf i saw this exact same review a few days ago? or am i from the future?
Blame Samsung
That's because his reviews are never much different then the other phones
They all look alike
It's kinda boring now
Iv ordered the white one, with being in the UK iv ordered the snapdragon version to be imported
Smart move
John where did you order the Snapdragon version?
From wonda mobile, Iv used them several times before
@@johngardner869 Do u trust their warranty?
@@wis164 never had to use it but they seem genuine from all my past experiences.
Washed out colors?
Got an email, mine is arriving tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about that battery life to be honest but with with the quick charge I hopefully be able to cope.
I ordered mine yesterday and I'm worried now to...
