Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G Ultra first look: improved S Pen, wireless TV connection – this is the fastest phone yet
- The Note20 is lightning fast and boasts a stunning screen and excellent main and telephoto cameras, like the recently released Galaxy S20 Ultra
- Its S Pen stylus functions without any noticeable delay, a microSD card slot allows for extra storage, and Pro mode gives the user manual camera controls
I love that Samsung throws everything it has into a phone like the Galaxy S20, but then a few months later releases the Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra 5G, which take things up a notch.
Today we are looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G. It checks all the boxes for a top-of-the-line flagship phone with a stylus, and it’s really big.

Should you buy Samsung’s ‘ultra-pricey’ Galaxy Note 20 Ultra?
Design and hardware
The first thing you notice about the Note20 Ultra 5G is the size. Like the Galaxy S20 Ultra, this phone has a 6.9-inch display.
It has an AMOLED screen with a resolution of 3,088 by 1,440 pixels and it is HDR10+ certified, which means it displays video with high dynamic range. The screen also has a 120Hz refresh rate for super smooth screen response and scrolling.
Unfortunately, the Note20 Ultra can’t give you the maximum resolution and 120Hz refresh at the same time. If you choose 3,088 by 1,440 resolution, you drop down to a 60Hz refresh rate.
