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.
It is somewhat amazing that the three-year-old Note20 Ultra does not go behind S23 Ultra too much, while in some occasions Note20 Ultra even has had better performance.
@@Rikka_V1 Overheats? I've never had an overheating issue with mine, nor have I personally heard anybody else have an overheating issue with their Note 20 Ultras.
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.
I'm a Note fan and have had a few of them along the road. N20U have been my daily driver for more than 2 years now. I have been using it with a shattered screen for a while but it didn't bother me much. Unfortunately, now I have no choice but to replace it, as my screen has a full column of green dead pixels. So, I bought a S23U, and should be delivered soon. The thing is, I'm really not that happy to spend a pretty penny for such incremental upgrade. I don't know, I hope snapdragon 8 gen 2 prove me wrong.
@@r0cknr0ll3r What's done is done, and cannot be undone. However, before I upgrade I always ask myself this question: what can my new item do that my old item cannot. If that function or feature is something I really need and frequently use, then that makes the upgrade worthwhile. Otherwise, maybe not.
I'm a Note 20 Ultra user typing this text right now and the only reason I'm upgrading to the S23 Ultra is the chipset. Other then that this phone is a monster with it's expandable storage I am going t to miss it.

The bluetooth has also been upgraded from 5.0 to 5.3. So anybody using their phone (like myself) as a music streamer will notice an improvement in sound quality. Other than that very similar.
@Ashton Mitchell I definitely noticed the better sound through my Ifi Zen One signature DAC. Able to use LDAC now. Wasn't able to when my Note 20 only had 5.0.
Pity the N20U is not on the 4year OS update agenda of Samsung. This legend could easily handle android 14. Wish Samsung considers this. This phone wasn't cheap to buy neither.

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.
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.
I still have the N20U, and it's still flawless. It works like a dream. The only downsides to it are that it's not going to go beyond Android 13 and probably only has another year of security patches until they become quarterly. So, at the moment, I can get a good trade on it for the S23U, but the longer I leave it, the less value it'll become. Hmmm, I also like the fact that the S23U uses the snapdragon 8gen 2 chip and can use 120hz with the full resolution and better camera 👍
I've a N20 Ultra...and for the sheer fact I have a 512gb + 512gb SD card....and I still have the option to go up to a 1TB SD card....I can't step backwards and limit myself with the storage.
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
@@takashanchole8107 its approx 1299gbp for a new S23 ultra in the UK. The Note 20 Ultra is still selling new online for around 7-800 gbp renewed or new this shows demand is still high
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?
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 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.
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
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..
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
Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra was the top. But now the time has taken its toll. And 23 is the best choice. You say that you need a rubbish for captv memory, but the speed of writing to flash drives is very slow than to internal memory. So this is no longer an argument. The sound, camera and increased autonomy of the galaxy s23 ultra are much better and do not give a chance to note.
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
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.
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.
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.
Cool clip! Note battery drains fairly, even in sleep mode, since 2020. And aware Samsung discontinuing updates either now or soon. Upgrade Note20Ultra > S23Ultra?
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
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!
im not seeing any reason to upgrade from my N20U. Im not an avid photo taker so the camera upgrade still isnt a selling point. It looks like they perform almost identically. Ill stick with what ive got till it inevitably wont get any more updates. then Ill upgrade. hopfully by then there will be something far better out there.
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 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.
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!
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...
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
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.
Taking the leap from note 20 to the s23 ultra reason being my screen cracked I feel like it made sense to just get a new phone hopefully it ain't too bad
@@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 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 🤝
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.
One thing I hated about the Note 20 ultra was the boxy design and it being such a huge phone. The S23 ultra is both wider and thicker. So although I really love the Note series and now Ultra phones after the Note 10 plus it really lost appeal for me. I have a brand new S23 Ultra still in the box and I’m contemplating returning it after I held the case I bought for it….the things massive. I love big phones but there’s a limit to what I can tolerate. And imagine dropping the phone on one of those sharp corners…..ouch!!
@TechthroughToni Gave it go but had to return it. Ended up with an S20 Ultra for a third of the price. Gives me a bigger screen at 6.9", similar snappy performance, and perhaps a slight downgrade on the cameras (although im still loving the photos produced by the S20). But overall the S20 Ultra does everything the S23 Ultra does in a much more compact package. I've now had all the Ultras except the S22 and still prefer the S20. Just my own preference.
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.
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.

@@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.
thanks! don't see much of a difference, ppl can pick up a note 20 ultra for $300 right now. the price dictates the mind
I still have the N20U, and it's still flawless. It works like a dream. The only downsides to it are that it's not going to go beyond Android 13 and probably only has another year of security patches until they become quarterly.
So, at the moment, I can get a good trade on it for the S23U, but the longer I leave it, the less value it'll become. Hmmm,
I also like the fact that the S23U uses the snapdragon 8gen 2 chip and can use 120hz with the full resolution and better camera 👍

That's how they build in obsolescence. Although the latest quirks and features won't stop it from working.
Hi with all du respect i want know note 20 ultra buttery time??? Becoz u used it.i am not heavy user.just facebook and TH-cam or call.
I've a N20 Ultra...and for the sheer fact I have a 512gb + 512gb SD card....and I still have the option to go up to a 1TB SD card....I can't step backwards and limit myself with the storage.
Well you have 1TB version of s23 ultra
@@TechthroughToni yes but that is only unlocked version ...I prefer the carrier version
@@waizeerhussain3720 why do you prefer a carrier version?
Same here. I need the additional piece of mind and security of a removable drive.
Well you will have to switch eventually, unless you want a Sony or midrange device.
I decided to upgrade. I might as well take advantage of the improved battery life and the four years of update on the S23.
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

Great video. I have a Note 20 ultra, The Best Phone❤️💪
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?
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 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.
Still holding Note 9 (05/2023), no reason for upgrade yet... i think i will change it only when it break...
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
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..
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.
I am happy with my Note 20 Ultra. Not paying 1000 extra for ultra-high resolution which I will never use. NO THANK YOU.
Honestly, it's a totally different feel. I upgraded from note 20 ultra, no complaints here.
Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra was the top. But now the time has taken its toll. And 23 is the best choice. You say that you need a rubbish for captv memory, but the speed of writing to flash drives is very slow than to internal memory. So this is no longer an argument. The sound, camera and increased autonomy of the galaxy s23 ultra are much better and do not give a chance to note.
Still not convinced to upgrade. I'm loving my note 20 ultra
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
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.
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
The only differnce in their design is S23 Ultra is surely wider and its bezzels are not curved and squarish, and the camera design.
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.
I'm still waiting until all features in N20U or S23U will upgrade with Z Fold..
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..
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
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.
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.
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
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!
im not seeing any reason to upgrade from my N20U. Im not an avid photo taker so the camera upgrade still isnt a selling point. It looks like they perform almost identically. Ill stick with what ive got till it inevitably wont get any more updates. then Ill upgrade. hopfully by then there will be something far better out there.
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..
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.
The best phone note 20 ultra after 2 years 🎉❤❤❤
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!
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..
Usually people pick annoying music but your music selections haven't done that with me 👍
Thank you 🙏
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

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..
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
Nice comparison between the giant Calx
Taking the leap from note 20 to the s23 ultra reason being my screen cracked I feel like it made sense to just get a new phone hopefully it ain't too bad
It is actually an upgraded version of Note 20 Ultra, way better cameras, battery life, software support etc..
@@TechthroughTonino sd card though
I also dislike the matte finish! 1200 dollars and the s23 looks cheap !

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.
@@krane15 yep
is the hole punch on the 23u bigger?
Yea and side bezels too
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
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
I've had Note20 U for 2+ years now. Awesome phone, but battery suckkkks. That's the only reason considering to get S23U in few months
Battery , Camera & Display..
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.
Cool
S23
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.
One thing I hated about the Note 20 ultra was the boxy design and it being such a huge phone. The S23 ultra is both wider and thicker. So although I really love the Note series and now Ultra phones after the Note 10 plus it really lost appeal for me. I have a brand new S23 Ultra still in the box and I’m contemplating returning it after I held the case I bought for it….the things massive. I love big phones but there’s a limit to what I can tolerate. And imagine dropping the phone on one of those sharp corners…..ouch!!
Get a good case and no need to return
@TechthroughToni Gave it go but had to return it. Ended up with an S20 Ultra for a third of the price. Gives me a bigger screen at 6.9", similar snappy performance, and perhaps a slight downgrade on the cameras (although im still loving the photos produced by the S20). But overall the S20 Ultra does everything the S23 Ultra does in a much more compact package. I've now had all the Ultras except the S22 and still prefer the S20. Just my own preference.
I have an iPhone 11, im looking to trade for Samsung s21+ or n20u, what would you choose? Same price
S21+
Note 20 ❤ Note 22
Pls do battery comparison i need to see so badly. If n20u lasts at least half of s23u SoT I don't mind as long i saved money paying 3x more
Battery difference is not that big

Note 20 Ultra was a beast
Huge improment for s23 ultra in animation which looks note 20 very laggy and slow.
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.
