    Still going strong with the note ultra for 2 years...haven't found a big enough reason to upgrade. At this point almost any flagship phone are the same speed and power wise so whats the point. This might be the phone I stick to till it breaks. Foldable phones are not there yet with the crease down the middle and reliability issues. So here's to many more years with the note ultra. 👍

      @@andrewn924 Cameras are better, though I supposed if you added in "no meaningfully better" for the cameras as well then..... maybe yeah. But the s22ultra is a bit better in quite a few ways. ALTHOUGH I agree with you on that damn lack of an SD card. I can deal with no headphone jack and some things, but the SD card slot is the only thing - at this point though I might change my mind - that is stopping me from just getting the 22u right now. Not even the price, they have it "renewed/literal new condition" on amazon for under 800 right now. If it just had the f**king sd card slot they would have made a new customer.. but IDK I won't pay that much more for the 512 and thats the only way to ensure I DEFINITELY never run out of space. It is annoying really because they do it to save THEMSELVES money, and to ensure WE PAY MORE. That is why its f**ked up to me. not very "lifeblood focused" in my opinion. Lifeblood = Customers.

    Great content. I've had my note20 ultra brand new for a year now. And still love it. It's real fast and smooth, especially when you turn off animations in the developer settings. And with 1UI 5.0. and Android 13 even if that's the last major update. It will still be good for another year or two. And it will still get more security updates even after the last Android update. If the s23 ultra knocks my socks off maybe I'll think about trading in my note20 ultra Maybe.

    I had the Note 20 ultra last year. Fell in love with it. Been a Note fan since the note 5, and had a note 9 for like 2 years before I went to an S10.
    That was a big regret so I gave the S10 to my partner, then went for the Note 20 Ultra.
    I tried the Fold 2 and gave the Note 20 Ultra to my partner, bit eventually I got back to the Note.
    Will be rocking this until the S22U gets a successor and maybe, the difference will be so big I will opt for an upgrade.

      Actually at the time Samsung made a big deal about supporting the No20 for much longer... out of Nowhere they have walked it back to 3yrs. That's bs, but Typical of Samsung. They basically do Whatever they want, flouting our FTC laws. In this case, they want to Erase the Note name, and platform. They've realized that the only way to increase volume sales is to remove their Do All product. It's the exact same reason that you cannot get a regular Station Wagon from Toyota. -But at least Toyota respects their customers and plays by American trade rules ~

      To be honest, it doesn't really matter if they do or don't. Your Note20 Ultra won't do any new tricks even if it gets 5 new Android versions. It'll still have the same processor and camera. Nowadays new android version really only mean slight UI improvements, maybe some new navigational gestures. But let's face it, we already know how to use everything on our phones in the most efficient way so any new changes won't really improve our life or how we use our phones. Whatever UI or optimization improvement they bring, it won't even save you as much time as you spent writing that comment 🤔. The only single reason I like long software support is that I look forward to getting something new, like if I was a kid unwrapping a present 😀. And the joy is over the moment I install the update, because I already know the update won't really improve my life anyway, and now there's nothing to look forward to for another year until new Android version releases 😅.

    I got my note 20 ultra in January 2021 on a 3 year contract. So, it runs out January 2024. I have no had a single problem with my device. I have run out of space for my movies, but just delete old ones and live without a massive film collection. I mean it hasn't so much as frozen once. It just works everytime, all the time. I literally use it as a WiFi device for my house as I have unlimited data, and I get 5g in my home. So I set the mobile hotshot on and run my xbox and laptop from it. I use around 200gig of data a month sometimes alot more. The phone just doesn't know the meaning of "can't do that" or "doesn't compute." The thing is a god damb tank when it comes to software, and also its built like a tank too. I've dropped it down staircases, out of car windows while driving, and I use the flashlight as a nightlight every single night. The phone is all and more I could ask for.

    I purchased the Note 20 Ultra refurbished back in July from Amazon but it cost $800. They had other cheaper versions, but this one came with a new battery and the full 12 month warranty. The reason that I didn't chose the S22 was it no longer offered the removable card slot. Something I feel no flagship phone should be without. And certainly if you consider it a Pro version. If you use your phone to take important photos or video, you need the assurance of a removable drive.

    Wouldn't have been forced to upgrade if my current used workhorse, a Razer Phone 2, didn't kill it's usb-c port. But that one I got for $119 a year ago, so I think it earned it's value.

    I've had my 20 Ultra for almost 2 years. The only thing I can say is WOW!
    Literally the only issues I've seen as a POWER user is
    * fingerprint reader not always working on first swipe. ( since day 1)
    * battery needs recharge once a day now. (It is almost 2 years old though)
    Final thought on the best phone (imo) Samsung has has released to date. Winner.

Battery, speed... everything works flawlessly after 2yrs.

      @KDBr04 I'm not sure how long i get.. i don't let it get too low (keep it between around 40-85%). But i would say i get at Least 5-6hrs. It's a very heavily used Snapdragon. But the battery has been well cared for, never let to get too hot, especially while charging in the summertime. If the battery is hot, Don't plug it in. Screen off and let it cool, Then plug it in.

      @georgehofgren6123 Год назад

      Yes, heat hurts your battery. At least now you know.... It takes even longer to feel it with a case on the phone. If it helps, in the summer, when the phone is already getting hot and i need to charge it, i put it under a fan. Also, there is a setting where you can have you phone stop charging @ 85%. When the phone attempts to get that last bit of charge into the battery, that also heats it up. Once it's @ 85%, I keep it plugged in. The phone generally will keep it there while I use it and not get warm ~

No problem with amoled and anything, but only battery and that's normal for years of usage. Also bit hot when downloading in high speed internet connection. I think it's still good for 2023. Oh yeah, I bought Note9 brand new when it launched up until now. Keep up the good work, Samsung. You've made a great smartpone.

    This thing flies, I normally root and flash custom ROMs on my phone but the amount of customization out of the box in OneUI has meant there's no need. Maybe when Android 14 comes out I'll reconsider, doesn't seem like a huge ROM scene though.

Software amazing and I'm glad it's going to receive updates. As a musician the note and SPEN ARE PERFECT FOR ME. HARDWARE AND CAMERA ARE A DIME! Bump aside it's mighty. My only issue after ownership is the battery life, it could be better. I usually run adaptive mode along with full resolution 60 refresh rate. But I'm very happy with my phone. I was thinking about upgrading to the new 14 or at least the 13 series because I don't want to sacrifice my sim lol fuck that.

I love to see their faces when it works!
