@@jassamatharu6446 True. I have Exynos and battery life is horrible. Performance is still fine for average user, but overheating kills it. Also problems like gluegate and random green screen issues on my unit makes it really bad to use. I will probably go for S23 series soon.
I'm switching my note 20 for a s23, I made the order, but I'm not sure about it... I know the s23 is way better, but the note 20 has a bigger screen and can do almost the same things and I think looks nicer then the s23.
Ditto. Big mistake by Samsung, and one of the main reasons I chose Android over Apple. I use my phone for important photos and video and need the security of being able to access my files and data apart from the phone should it stop working for any reason.

Yep, in addition to your eternal storage, you can purchase up-to a 1 tb SD card. The N20U was the last of its kind to offer the express card port. Pay more, get less.

Was about to buy S23U to upgrade my N20U. But after watching this, I don't see much difference in the functionality and performance. Will hold onto my N20U. Still the best.
Thanks for the comparison. The fact that its still alive and well, and still competing, just goes to show how very good the N20U was from the start. Slightly improved camera features notwithstanding, there's not a lot the S23 can do that the N20U cannot. When the new phones can do double what my current phone can do at twice the speed call me. Until then, I'm more that satisfied with what I've got.

Could you make a video with only photo comparisons? Specially low lights, testing focus (I used to suffer with my Note 20 Ultra focus taking pictures of documents).
@@jayplayiii9864 Good focusing depends on many things including sufficient light. But the newer phones are better in low light. That is, if you do a lot of low-light photography/video. That's one way to decide. If the cameras don't mean much, there's little incentive to upgrade. Maybe a longer batter life or a slightly brighter screen. But those are easy solves to me. Not like you need more storage. A definitely reason to upgrade. Since there's no way to fix that.

What is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G It is now with me for four years. No, it is a powerful and solid device. What I liked most about this device was its strength and solidity, it fell from me many times, and it was not affected at all. But I'm now, four years later. I have to keep up with technology. By owning the Samsung Galaxy S23 . THANK YOU
We still remember that Note were the Boss of Samsung serieses , Even the real owner of S Pen, S was child of note no comparison at that time, unfortunately Samsung continued S and discontinued Note, wish they continue it....
Great video!!!🎉 I'm searching a replacement for the Spen on my Note20 Ultra. Nevertheless, I only find the s23 ultra Spen. Should I buy the S23 ultra spen? Is it identical to fit with the Note20 Ultra? Again, great video
Facts I have 1 and it's hard to make this phone better.. I think the only thing that's gonna be better than this phone in the future is when they get the foldable phones right
I wish samsung bring back the SD card slot , for me if i m gonna pay so much money i wish i can have the full experience with full options . We all know that getting rid of the SD card expension ,the headphone jack and the charger in the box are for pure commercial purposes and that unacceptable with that very high price that the consumer is paying. That s why I feel that samsung innovation is getting less and less , and they are just focusing on the user interface experience and their own ecosystem trying to perfected like iOS did . Hope they reconsider reputting them back , specially with that expensive price , better have the thing and not use it , then not having it while u do need it !
This convinced me not to upgrade. I couldn't care less that the camera is better. The battery is definitely shit but I won't spend 1k for an improved battery and camera.
Is it just me, or does the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra front hole punch camera look smaller than the Galaxy S23's front hole punch camera, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra display having thinner bezels than the Galaxy S23 Ultra display?
I've the Note 20 Ultra, and I want to update. I'm very undecided between the new S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. In terms of software, I like both, but what matters to me the most on a phone is Camera Quality, Battery Life and Screen Quality. Which one should I choose?
I-have2 phones . Note 20 ultra for personal , 13 pro max for work !I like both , but if I had to pick just one phone to have I would Go with the Samsung ! I preorders the S23 ultra as my note 20 ultra ive had it for 3 years and it’s Time to upgrade !
You're coming from a Samsung phone. Go for the S23 Ultra. if possible get a cheap iPhone. An iPhone 11 pro or something in that price range to use it as a secondary phone and get used to an iPhone..
@@luisfernandes_7 well in this case you go for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and if possible get a cheap option (maybe used) on a flagship device from Samsung. (A good example would be the Samsung Galaxy S22, S21FE,S20FE). In this case you will get used to Samsung and maybe next time you make a big purchase you go for a Samsung phone..
I have had an N20U 5G since day one. Just ordered me an S23 Ultra 512GB and should be delivered by March 6th. I've been with the Note series since the Note 2. It saddens me that Samsung discontinued the Note series. Upgrading to the S23 Ultra is a hard pill to swallow, but pulled the trigger and ordered it.
It's amazing how little changed. It's the same front camera from S21 ultra that Samsung didn't put on N20U when it could have. The only deal difference is slightly better cameras, the better chipset, and 120hz at WQHD+ which they could of also given to N20U. Losing MST, SD Card, and 6.9 inch size. Amazing how little in 3 years.
Cool clip! Note battery drains fairly, even in sleep mode, since 2020. And aware Samsung discontinuing updates either now or soon. Upgrade Note20Ultra > S23Ultra?
Not a big difference at all people who have the note 20 ultra should keep it for at least 5 years! I have the S23 ultra but i came from the note 20 ultra and its not a day and night difference between the note 20 ultra and the S23 ultra. My girlfriend has my note 20 ultra now and it's 3 years old now and still works the same as the day i bought it, and still looks as new to. It's the note 20 ultra snapdragon 865 version, the only thing is a little loss of the battery capacity. But she is going to replace the battery for a original new one at the samsung store, i think it will last another 3 years again.
It's very fast but buying it now i don't think it's a good idea. Display might have screen burning, Camera is good but not optimized for social network apps so you will lose image quality. Battery life also concerns me. Performance wise , it's awesome
Lol, My Samsung galaxy note 8 here still standing strong😂😂 6 years.. and still super smooth! But a ton of scratches! I tell you. Samsung has the best hardware!

So basically their selling you the same phone 📱 with same options, with same performance, and the same B.S lagging, when a new same phone comes out. No thanks, I'm sticking with my NOTE 20 Ultra. Phone innovation has not advanced, since the IPhone 5th generation. corporate has been milking the cow with same B.S. The Holograph phones should have been here by now.
Still rocking on my note 20 ultra 12/256 and yes i have exynos eu version , but for me is still a great phone , great cameras and great performance, ok baterry is not perfect but some weeks ago i chenged battery and is way more better . To be honest don't see reasons to change this great phone for now and still will getting security updates until august 2024. Im happy with my note and even if exynos..
used note 20 ultra with a 1 year warranty. $350. vs a new s23 ultra $1200 buy the new one if u have money to waste. its the better phone but only by a minute margin.
@@lisaalony415 I don't know, mine was purchased refurbish with a new battery. But it shouldn't be that difficult to look it up. Anyway, smartphone battery cost vary just like any other types of battery depending on type and charge (they're all made in China though). Some can cost $20 while other can cost twice that. Not including the installation/labor cost, unless you can do it yourself. That's just how it is with labor where the sky's the limit. For example, a garage can change your oil for $30, while the dealer will charge you $130, to do the exact same thing.
I'm in the 30 day window (just picked up my s23 Ultra 256gb) this was recommended in store since I only used 83gb of my 512gb Note 20 Ultra! Huge MISTAKE!! I wish someone would compare the s23 Ultra 256gb to the Note 20 Ultra 512gb ! The s23 can't come close! 2 things running in the background will cause the s23 Ultra to throw a fit !! While my Note 20 Ultra, I can have 5 or more and plow right through without flinching !!
@@TechthroughToni battery life isn't any better on my end. Not enough to get past how the s23 bogs down with even 1 app running in the background! I can have 10 things opened in the background of my N20U , listening to music, playing a video game, checking emails and she just keeps chugging along! There has to be a reason, these phones at almost 4 years old are still getting 800.00 Dollars for trade-ins ! I'm extremely disappointed!
Still running an note9, for like 4 years I think. Dropped it and now my screen is cracked after all those years. And now the battery is start to having problems, like heating up and slow charging times. I am doubting the 23ultra but does it still feel like an note and could you still use the penci the same way? I am anoyed by the fact the app menu is big, only 3 apps wide whilst my note 9 makes smaller icons so i can put more apps in one app page.
Samsung made a huge good mistake with the Note 20 Ultra by making the phone too good and futuristic that they can't make anything extremely better than it. Still rocking my mystic bronze and getting the mystic white soon after which I will trade off the bronze. Gonn
I have the N20U and ordered the s24 ultra now. For me the N20U wasnt a good phone... i had it 2 years 7 month now and got issues the whole time. My note 10 was way better. Its no super big problems but not acceptable in this price range. Im happy to get the s24 ultra now and hope its good enough to keep it 4-6 years. I don't need the newest phone every 2 years. I need a phone what can take extreme use and never bugging.
A few people in comments said they not upgrading to the s23u, its better than the note but not a great deal better. But what if you had the exynos version of the note20u, should you upgrade to the snapdragon s23u? Might be the glare, screen protector but the colors on the note looks faded, the s23u colors looks better.
My company is offering 40% off the 23 ultra, unlocked or with contracts with unlimited data that add up (over 2 years) to 30% less than what the phone is worth on it's own... Even with this video it's hard to resist taking up the offer...
@@kameikapeters7649 if you have a Note 20 Ultra, i don't recommend you upgrade imo. I'd wait for more technology coming in the future. That's still a great phone comparing money and advances, but also I recommend you to go to a Best Buy and feel it by yourself if it worth it.
It's not a screen protector but I just replaced the display and it's a film screen protector that the display had because I don't want to scratch the new display
If I ever decide to go back to Galaxy, I’ll probably get whatever S Ultra phone is latest at that time I do have one nitpick regarding Galaxy S phones though. Even with a phone case on, the screens are more likely to crack due to them curving outward.

As long as it does what I need it to do, no need to waste money for an upgrade.
Could you make a video with only photo comparisons? Specially low lights, testing focus (I used to suffer with my Note 20 Ultra focus taking pictures of documents).
The S23 Ultra is better in photos.
@@lea_a67_ I just want to know if they fix those focus problems in the new generations.
Camera is not the strongest point in Note 20 Ultra
@@jayplayiii9864 Good focusing depends on many things including sufficient light. But the newer phones are better in low light. That is, if you do a lot of low-light photography/video.
That's one way to decide. If the cameras don't mean much, there's little incentive to upgrade. Maybe a longer batter life or a slightly brighter screen. But those are easy solves to me. Not like you need more storage. A definitely reason to upgrade. Since there's no way to fix that.
I have the galaxy note 20 ultra and will be giving it to my mom as a nice upgrade for her. Still in pristine condition. Getting the unlocked version of the S23 ultra. Win win for me 🤝
You'll love the camera of the S23
Why does every single review makes the lack of having a SD card not a big deal?
I don't use sd card since 2016 when it got corrupted and i lost all my files
Thank you This is exactly why I do not jump into "upgrades" now (UK)
Still have my Note10+ and Note20 Ultra as main phone, just about do do a major backup onto my desktop and factory reset on both Notes and it will be like a new phones again. I wont be changing at least for a year or two

I will probably give it at least 2 more years. I shouldn't complain that my phone is so good that it doesn't warrant a replacement yet XD.
What is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G It is now with me for four years. No, it is a powerful and solid
device.
What I liked most about this device was its strength and solidity, it fell from me many times, and it was not affected at all.
But I'm now, four years later. I have to keep up with technology. By owning the Samsung Galaxy S23 .
THANK YOU
We still remember that Note were the Boss of Samsung serieses , Even the real owner of S Pen,
S was child of note no comparison at that time, unfortunately Samsung continued S and discontinued Note, wish they continue it....
I decided to upgrade. I might as well take advantage of the improved battery life and the four years of update on the S23.
Still not convinced to upgrade. I'm loving my note 20 ultra
Absolutely no need to buy a S23 Ultra.
Unless money is no object and you just like having the latest tech. The S23 is much faster but nobody that's not a gamer will ever notice.
Great video!!!🎉 I'm searching a replacement for the Spen on my Note20 Ultra. Nevertheless, I only find the s23 ultra Spen. Should I buy the S23 ultra spen? Is it identical to fit with the Note20 Ultra?
Again, great video
It works but get a Note 20 Ultra s pen
Am I the only one...who is watching in Samsung Note 10😅.
nope
Note20 Ultra, the best and most beautiful smartphone ever built in history.
Look how it still competes with a phone 3 years after release.
Facts I have 1 and it's hard to make this phone better..
I think the only thing that's gonna be better than this phone in the future is when they get the foldable phones right
I wish samsung bring back the SD card slot , for me if i m gonna pay so much money i wish i can have the full experience with full options .
We all know that getting rid of the SD card expension ,the headphone jack and the charger in the box are for pure commercial purposes and that unacceptable with that very high price that the consumer is paying.
That s why I feel that samsung innovation is getting less and less , and they are just focusing on the user interface experience and their own ecosystem trying to perfected like iOS did .
Hope they reconsider reputting them back , specially with that expensive price , better have the thing and not use it , then not having it while u do need it !
This convinced me not to upgrade. I couldn't care less that the camera is better. The battery is definitely shit but I won't spend 1k for an improved battery and camera.
I have an iPhone 11, im looking to trade for Samsung s21+ or n20u, what would you choose? Same price
S21+
Still very good note 20 ultra ❤❤
Is it just me, or does the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra front hole punch camera look smaller than the Galaxy S23's front hole punch camera, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra display having thinner bezels than the Galaxy S23 Ultra display?
The only thing bad about our note 20 that samsung won't update it anymore. They should have kept updates for it since it's the last note ever
Won't update? Mine updates all the time
@roberto olivares samsung has announced that they won't be releasing updates no more for the note 20
@@cris.han0311 When did they say this? I recently updated to One UI 13.

I've the Note 20 Ultra, and I want to update. I'm very undecided between the new S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. In terms of software, I like both, but what matters to me the most on a phone is Camera Quality, Battery Life and Screen Quality. Which one should I choose?
S23 ULTRA , I think ..
I-have2 phones . Note 20 ultra for personal , 13 pro max for work !I like both , but if I had to pick just one phone to have I would Go with the Samsung ! I preorders the S23 ultra as my note 20 ultra ive had it for 3 years and it’s Time to upgrade !
You're coming from a Samsung phone.
Go for the S23 Ultra.
if possible get a cheap iPhone.
An iPhone 11 pro or something in that price range to use it as a secondary phone and get used to an iPhone..
@@TechthroughToni I've an iPhone X and I like it. That's why it's being so hard for me to decide
@@luisfernandes_7 well in this case you go for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and if possible get a cheap option (maybe used) on a flagship device from Samsung. (A good example would be the Samsung Galaxy S22, S21FE,S20FE). In this case you will get used to Samsung and maybe next time you make a big purchase you go for a Samsung phone..
Keeping my note ultra 20 no expandable memory is a deal breaker
I have had an N20U 5G since day one. Just ordered me an S23 Ultra 512GB and should be delivered by March 6th. I've been with the Note series since the Note 2. It saddens me that Samsung discontinued the Note series. Upgrading to the S23 Ultra is a hard pill to swallow, but pulled the trigger and ordered it.
well s23 ultra is still a note..
@Tech through Toni true, but it doesn't carry its name.
It's amazing how little changed. It's the same front camera from S21 ultra that Samsung didn't put on N20U when it could have.
The only deal difference is slightly better cameras, the better chipset, and 120hz at WQHD+ which they could of also given to N20U.
Losing MST, SD Card, and 6.9 inch size.
Amazing how little in 3 years.
Yes and for this £1299 GBP. No thanks
The best phone note 20 ultra after 2 years 🎉❤❤❤
Cool clip! Note battery drains fairly, even in sleep mode, since 2020. And aware Samsung discontinuing updates either now or soon. Upgrade Note20Ultra > S23Ultra?
Hold on to the note 20 Ultra until it becomes unusable..
Galaxy note 20 ultra is the best Samsung phone ever.
Not a big difference at all people who have the note 20 ultra should keep it for at least 5 years! I have the S23 ultra but i came from the note 20 ultra and its not a day and night difference between the note 20 ultra and the S23 ultra. My girlfriend has my note 20 ultra now and it's 3 years old now and still works the same as the day i bought it, and still looks as new to. It's the note 20 ultra snapdragon 865 version, the only thing is a little loss of the battery capacity. But she is going to replace the battery for a original new one at the samsung store, i think it will last another 3 years again.
I was thinking of buying note 20u. Do u think it's still worth to be used for another 2 years?
It's very fast but buying it now i don't think it's a good idea.
Display might have screen burning,
Camera is good but not optimized for social network apps so you will lose image quality.
Battery life also concerns me.
Performance wise , it's awesome
Lol, My Samsung galaxy note 8 here still standing strong😂😂 6 years.. and still super smooth! But a ton of scratches! I tell you. Samsung has the best hardware!
Still holding Note 9 (05/2023), no reason for upgrade yet... i think i will change it only when it break...
Note20U is still a beast
Looking to get one to upgrade from my Note9!
Snapdragon? Exynos? Galaxy Note 20 ultra 5g ✊✊✊
just the face that note 20 ultra afford sd slot already beat any of the new features, you can't really put too much with 1tb considering images and video quality nowdays are way better
I think the note 20 ultra is better bigger display and wider physically
The changes are different, not better.
I'm curious are you in America? My note 20 ultra doesn't have that 5G logo on start up
That note 20 Ultra is the asian version
The N20U is the exynos or snapdragon version ?

@@TechthroughToni we re in 2023 ! If the information people need isnt in the beginning of the content or in the description, people leave (or ask in the comment 🙃)
Thanks too :)
So basically their selling you the same phone 📱 with same options, with same performance, and the same B.S lagging, when a new same phone comes out. No thanks, I'm sticking with my NOTE 20 Ultra. Phone innovation has not advanced, since the IPhone 5th generation. corporate has been milking the cow with same B.S. The Holograph phones should have been here by now.
With the exception of 5G, there are no truly new advance that, most of us really need.
Still rocking on my note 20 ultra 12/256 and yes i have exynos eu version , but for me is still a great phone , great cameras and great performance, ok baterry is not perfect but some weeks ago i chenged battery and is way more better . To be honest don't see reasons to change this great phone for now and still will getting security updates until august 2024. Im happy with my note and even if exynos..
Usually people pick annoying music but your music selections haven't done that with me 👍
Thank you 🙏
used note 20 ultra with a 1 year warranty. $350. vs a new s23 ultra $1200
buy the new one if u have money to waste. its the better phone but only by a minute margin.
A 1 year warranty for $350? Too good to be true.
@@krane15 I've seen them for around that price. More like $400 for a refurbished with a one year guarantee.
pass. ill keep my note!
Absolutely. I'm keeping my Note20 Ultra... I'm surprised.
Do you think the screen protector for Note 20 ultra is compatible with S23 ultra?
Nope. Different screen dementions
No
Long story short. If you got the note 20 ultra there is no need to get the s23 Ultra
Except for a few things..
@Tech through Toni I'm only planning on upgrading to a fold after the note ultra
yep... ill keep my note 20 ultra 512 gigs, even the battery is going tired. love it too much.
You can easily upgrade to a new battery.
@@krane15 What does that run approximately?
@@lisaalony415 I don't know, mine was purchased refurbish with a new battery. But it shouldn't be that difficult to look it up.
Anyway, smartphone battery cost vary just like any other types of battery depending on type and charge (they're all made in China though). Some can cost $20 while other can cost twice that. Not including the installation/labor cost, unless you can do it yourself.
That's just how it is with labor where the sky's the limit. For example, a garage can change your oil for $30, while the dealer will charge you $130, to do the exact same thing.

@@TechthroughToni thank you for your help
I still have a note 9 and was wondering the same thing.
@@tkochica he said yo get the S23
I just got the Samsung Note 20 my man just got in my birthday is in Mothers Day :)
The only differnce in their design is S23 Ultra is surely wider and its bezzels are not curved and squarish, and the camera design.
is the hole punch on the 23u bigger?
Yea and side bezels too
I'm in the 30 day window (just picked up my s23 Ultra 256gb) this was recommended in store since I only used 83gb of my 512gb Note 20 Ultra! Huge MISTAKE!!
I wish someone would compare the s23 Ultra 256gb to the Note 20 Ultra 512gb ! The s23 can't come close! 2 things running in the background will cause the s23 Ultra to throw a fit !! While my Note 20 Ultra, I can have 5 or more and plow right through without flinching !!
Performance is almost the same in both but S23 is better in battery life, camera & the range of more updates
@@TechthroughToni battery life isn't any better on my end. Not enough to get past how the s23 bogs down with even 1 app running in the background! I can have 10 things opened in the background of my N20U , listening to music, playing a video game, checking emails and she just keeps chugging along!
There has to be a reason, these phones at almost 4 years old are still getting 800.00 Dollars for trade-ins !
I'm extremely disappointed!
Still running an note9, for like 4 years I think.
Dropped it and now my screen is cracked after all those years.
And now the battery is start to having problems, like heating up and slow charging times.
I am doubting the 23ultra but does it still feel like an note and could you still use the penci the same way?
I am anoyed by the fact the app menu is big, only 3 apps wide whilst my note 9 makes smaller icons so i can put more apps in one app page.
Why the note 20 still faster then s23 ? Note 20 was ahead of it's time.
The S23 is much faster. But few users will ever notice that.
He's only opening apps which is highly dependent on storage speed.
Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra are having S-Pens
Samsung made a huge good mistake with the Note 20 Ultra by making the phone too good and futuristic that they can't make anything extremely better than it. Still rocking my mystic bronze and getting the mystic white soon after which I will trade off the bronze.
Gonn
Too bad it won't receive updates anymore..
they look exactly the same ( size, length, width)
How comes? Note 20 ultra is 6.9 and S23 Ultra is 6.8
Display size is not the same size, despite the fact that frame size might look the same.
@@TechthroughToni the difference it's very very small
@@levinste2750 It is, and less of a curve if that means anything to anybody. Its a meaningless change to me.
I have the N20U and ordered the s24 ultra now. For me the N20U wasnt a good phone... i had it 2 years 7 month now and got issues the whole time. My note 10 was way better. Its no super big problems but not acceptable in this price range. Im happy to get the s24 ultra now and hope its good enough to keep it 4-6 years. I don't need the newest phone every 2 years. I need a phone what can take extreme use and never bugging.
A few people in comments said they not upgrading to the s23u, its better than the note but not a great deal better. But what if you had the exynos version of the note20u, should you upgrade to the snapdragon s23u? Might be the glare, screen protector but the colors on the note looks faded, the s23u colors looks better.
I recommend updating despite what version of Note 20 Ultra you have
My company is offering 40% off the 23 ultra, unlocked or with contracts with unlimited data that add up (over 2 years) to 30% less than what the phone is worth on it's own... Even with this video it's hard to resist taking up the offer...
Looks like a pretty good deal..
Note 20 ❤ Note 22
I've noticed that new S23 is way thicker
And I don't appreciate that. I was about to upgrade.
@@kameikapeters7649 if you have a Note 20 Ultra, i don't recommend you upgrade imo. I'd wait for more technology coming in the future. That's still a great phone comparing money and advances, but also I recommend you to go to a Best Buy and feel it by yourself if it worth it.

Nice comparison between the giant Calx
Great comparison.. but the bubbles in the N20 Ultra screen protector gave me anxiety.
It's not a screen protector but I just replaced the display and it's a film screen protector that the display had because I don't want to scratch the new display
@@TechthroughToni That's still a protector Jeeves. Just a very cheap one.
At least its not home installed window tint.
S22 vs S23
I also dislike the matte finish! 1200 dollars and the s23 looks cheap !
If I ever decide to go back to Galaxy, I’ll probably get whatever S Ultra phone is latest at that time
I do have one nitpick regarding Galaxy S phones though. Even with a phone case on, the screens are more likely to crack due to them curving outward.
Now S24 Ultra has a flat display
