Does Note 20 ultra have Snapchat camera zoom in issues ... Or Instagram front camera auto zoom in. Issue ... On whatsapp video calling face looks bigger then s6 , s7 eege etc ..
My white Note 20 Ultra just arrived today. I've been a Google smartphone user for year's and have really liked the pure Android. I purchased a Galaxy a few years back and sold it within a month, absolutely hating the phone. I didn't think I'd go back to Samsung again, but with Google not producing a higher end phone with the Pixel 5, instead choosing budget, and with all the great reviews for the Note 20 Ultra, I ordered one from Samsung unlocked. I've been playing around with this phone for 6 hour's and I've got to say: I'm completely blown away. I absolutely LOVE this phone so far. Sure, I could do without a lot of the Samsung bloatware and duplicate apps, but I'll live with that to get everything else. This phone is BEAUTIFUL all around. The display is absolutely stunning. I love the screen size. For me, its PERFECT. I love the width and height. I was hoping it wouldn't be tall and skinny like the Motorola Edge Plus I purchased and returned a couple of months ago. That screen ratio was horrendous and the curved display led to a ridiculous amount of "false touches". Something I haven't had at all with this Note 20 Ultra. It's curved enough to look "cool", yet not too much to cause non-stop false touches. I can't wait to mess with the camera. To anyone considering this phone, if you like "big, beautiful, displays, you're going to love this phone.
Same. Been waiting for Pixel High Range phones for long... Not anymore I believe I got the best android can offer Been two months and just loving the feel of the phone. I am still discovering lots of new stuff everyday even after 2 months It's unbelievable (I switched from Iphone Pro Max)
I just got the note 20 after previously having the note 9, I'm so glad you mentioned to scan the same finger twice because I was getting frustrated with the in screen finger print scanner being a bit slow or not always recognising immediately which was never an issue I experienced with the note 9. Such first world problems, I know 🙄 but that tip has made such a difference! Thank you!!
After watching several videos of this particular phone, and after 5 LONG YEARS of waiting, I will be purchasing this phone within a month or two. God willing!!!!
I’m waiting my note 20 ultra and this is my first android device I’m Already shocked with all these features and customization its unbelievable thanks for this perfect guide I can’t wait to get mine
Perfect way to join android. You haven't seen anything yet. I'm assuming you're coming from ios. Trust me, months will go by and you still won't discover all the features of this phone.
Not just drop, the cover will provide the protection from the bump of the camera. The first day I used my phone, I was scared to put it down because the camera bump keeps it slightly elevated.
@@mattsmail7753 I got 1000 dollars off by trading my S8+ in. AT&T. 15 dollars a month on the phone instead of 48 a month. Ultra 512GB. But I won't get it till September 1st-8th :c
I agree... Buttons on the left and S-Pen on the right made sense for people that used the pen since you'd hold the with your left hand and write with you right hand... Still on the note 10 plus
@@OT4Tech I think Samsung trying to to all those people who were complaining about it, I don't think many people realised the ergonomics at the time.... Also could be the camera system took too much space and they didn't want to drastically change the back from last year?? All in all I don't think they'd want to appeal to such a small population with such a expensive phone
I've heard that despite not getting the earphones in the box you can contact Samsung customer service and they will ship you out a pair for free upon request
@@TBourne14 to be honest I'm not sure but I know that the chances of needing one are pretty slim as the new gorilla Glass victus is said to be twice as strong as the previous iteration.
@@angrytomasz I just watched a video of a guy doing the scratch test and it was the same as previous gorilla glass versions. Scratches at level 6. Disappointing
@@TBourne14 Do you mean Jerry Rig Everything? I mean maybe but those are special picks made up of super hardened material. Your regular old car keys couldn't do that kind of damage. That's just an extreme example. I'm sure there's a benefit even if it's not exactly 2* better. Advertising isn't always straight forward. When they say note 20 is available in 512gb it doesn't mean that's the case model. Advertising is always a "best case" scenario. I'm sure the same applies here. In any case j already pre-ordered mine day one and can't wait to get it on Friday !
Hi Jonathan, I have ordered my Note 20 Ultra 5G Bronze color. But what i don't understand is why did Samsung removed the iris scanning option? I thought that was the better option, not to mention faster option & more secured... I miss the iris scanner, esp. nowadays, in Singapore, we have to wear face mask... the face recognition doesn't work well... meaning i have to pull down my mask... (on my Note 10+)
Personally, I think it was so they could invest in the in display fingerprint scanner. I’m right there without though. I would much rather have true facial recognition like the iPhone or Pixel 4 and a rear fingerprint scanner or no finger printer scanner.
@@OT4Tech would you be willing to have those big nasty notches for the facial recognition though? I like that big screen that's almost perfectly uninterrupted...
I get my one yesterday after waiting 12 days to be here and guest what when I open has already a contact added and is supposed to be brand new from the wearhouse buyed online. I was so mad for this and also the sticker was open and look some scratch on the top and bottom of course come without protection there. Any way Samsung told me to return the product and reorder one more time so nice I have to wait until the process finish and them need to wait 15 days more to be delivery thank you. I really like Samsung but that was frustrating since I receive at 2 pm until 1 pm from the next day calling customer service disappointing in all the ways.
@@OT4Tech follow up question what samsung phones have a ToF camera or should I say what's the oldest or cheapest (if there an A or M series with it) that would have it.) I can't take them but the ones from note 10 that were transferred to it I can still use and edit them so I like to pick up another samsung so there no compatability issues with transferring them from ToF phone to note 20 ultra
I'm still on my much loved Note 9 so it's been awhile since I've had to set up a phone. Thanks for reminding me of a few things and inspiring me to do others! This is a great tutorial for beginners as well. I've had every single Note (even the poor, sad Note 7) and I absolutely love them. I'll never give up my S Pen!!! Thanks again! Subscribed so I can follow for more great videos! Also, I've heard that preorders may get the phone on the 19th! Some were posting their FedEx delivery manager showing shipping on 17th, arriving the 19th! Very excited to get my 20 Ultra 512gb in black! It will be a fun several days of making it perfect and perfectly organized! Can. Not. Wait.
Meant to add that my personal order does not yet show shipping information. I've checked every few hours since I started seeing possible early shipping. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up! Just thought I'd mention it just in case. I always take the day off when my phone is expected to arrive and I stalk the front porch waiting on FedEx. I'm a very proud Note Nerd! Please don't judge me!
@@miniwife I know this is very late after your comment but yh I m a note fan too. Gutted when I heard that they were ending the note series..😢 I just got my ultra 20 at a great price. I know it 3 years after it came out but I hear its still great phone to use in 2023. Also I guess it ĺl be the last actual note I ll ever have. 😢Gotta set it up though so I m typing this on my trusty note 8 which is dying . Gonna miss my little note 8 to but onwards and upwards
Hi Jonathan, for the face configuration, when you hold your phone you must press the right-side button first to turn the screen on then it's starting to do the face configuration? there is no rise to wake the screen?
@@OT4Tech yea, I know that too. But it's close to 80usd to ship to my country, so I'm looking for an alternative if not I'll just have to use facial recognition. Thanks in advance for the help tho!
@@randomwicked9806 thats dope, I was gonna trade in s9+ for 400 of with cracked screen, but now it dropped to 300 but its still a good deal bc they usually don't accept cracked phones
@@gabrielhernandez3423 I noticed that as well when I was clicking though. Still a great deal on a device like this. I don't know if I will go back to buying from my service provider simply due to the direct purchase deals.
Did you ever make that accessories video? Looking for screen protectors, and if any glass ones with well with fingerprint reader without being super expensive. Thanks!
@@OT4Tech thanks! i'll check them out!!! Great video, btw, I think my Note 20 Ultra arrives tomorrow. Coming from a Pixel 2xl, so all these new settings are new to me. Hopefully I will enjoy the experience!
hi mate just got my note20 ultra an l'm new to them you've been a great help an would just like to say thank you,also is it my note came with a screen protector should i remove it an put on a better one or just leave it till i need to replace it
Hi Jonathan, I've got my new Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G. Should I keep my old SIM or should I insert the new sim which was in the box? Do I have to activate the new SIM?
Samsung has disappointed me with this one. $1,300, no headphones, 128gs instead of 256gs standard like the Note 10+ , no headphone jack, no case in the box, no 45 watt charger in the box, no IR blaster, no 120hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, no 30 watt wireless charging, S-Pen on the left side of the device, a 4,500 mAh battery as opposed to a 5,000 mAh battery? No sell for me. Please stop making excuses for these companies that's charging you more money but are giving you less in return.
Note 10+ to Note 20 Ultra is a solid upgrade I feel but S20 Ultra to Note 20 Ultra is far less ideal and something that I won’t recommend. There are a lot of stand out features mostly with the camera that make the Note 20 Ultra pretty appealing and with the trade in offerings it’s pretty competitive pricing. I mean I don’t know where else you can trade in a Note 9 and get $500 off. But I do understand your frustration. I said a lot of the same things and had to take a step back.
@@OT4Tech I have no issue with there trade in deals because they are pretty generous but to keep taking away things or not adding things that they should bothers me, especially when you can get a lot of those things I mentioned on other premium devices for a lot less money. The Note series was always known has the device that gave you everything. They use to be the Swiss Army Knife of all smartphones.
Completely feel that. I think I made that same statement with the Note 7 when it exploded on the scene lol.. but in seriousness, they are following the trends of other smartphone makers. They definitely have stripped away some things but they’ve added things too. In the end it all comes down to what’s important to you. The 45 watt charger btw is a joke. I have it and it’s only good for burst charging and charges in the same time as the 25 watt one that’s included. Fast wireless charging is included on the Note 20 Ultra but it’s not like Oneplus or Oppo. Going back to the Note 7 fiasco, this is something Samsung will forever tiptoe around. They can’t afford something like that happening again so they will never offer the fastest charging on any device. I don’t want to justify them stripping things away so don’t think that I am but some times as a reviewer we have to play devils advocate.
@@OT4Tech I hear you. Thanks for the conversation bro. I have my own TH-cam channel. However it's no where near as good as yours is, but I enjoy reviewing tech. Love your channel. If your interested in checking it out it's Vernon Lee Warren. Peace.
This is probably a stupid question... But with the maxed out screen do we lose the led notification light now on these phones?... I actually find it extremely helpful on my note 9 and feel like I Wil lreally miss that, I know it sounds stupid but I like. Being able to see the color of the light and know if it's a missed call, text, notification or just an email etc...
Hi Jonathan I'm interested in purchasing the unlocked version as well my carrier is Verizon am I able to get visual voicemail with the U.S. unlocked version?
Great content.. I still love my note10 (non-plus) i picked it up on black Friday sales along with a galaxy watch with a massive discount.. I am one who much prefers the squared off corners and waterfall display.. The note10 is a great size, fits in the hand and pocket just fine, not too big and not small by any means, just perfect.. I'll wait for next years Note as my next upgrade.. Previous to my note10 and galaxy watch I had an iPhone 8 plus and series 3 apple watch - although it was a decent phone and watch neither of them came close to how much better Samsung is and how much i enjoy the customisation ability and great emulators available in the play store along with the sensational Samsung DeX
Yeah, I can see what you mean and I totally don’t blame you. I did a Note 10 in 2020 video recently and it’s still such a great phone. I don’t fault anybody for wanting to hold onto their current device.
@@tommyphung2115 on the @20:51 below the keyboard, you will see the "tab" i'm talking about. i'm using 3rd party keyboard and it's white in color, very obvious compare to using samsung keyboard which will be black if you use dark modr.
Unfortunately it has to do with theming on a system level. Basically it’s a bug and should get ironed out soon. I remember the same thing happening on the S10 and Note 10.
I have questions I got a Note 20 Ultra unlocked version. I am with Verizon. The 4G LTE does show up on my phone. I get my emails and text. Every once in awhile the late will flash. Dis I do something wrong on setting. Thanka
JONATHON...... I'm seeing lot of complaints of people saying the camera fogs up between lenses and housing when goin from inside in cool ac to outdoor heat... can you please test this and tell if this is true if so I won't be tra SD ing in my note 9 for the 20 ultra
question, my ultra is set on volume off auto mode and I have not found a way to change it to manual. Please help. the volume keeps turn off by itself and I miss calls very often.
Thanks for the consideration. I appreciate watching you and floss you guys are in the minority that allow the phones to be the main focal point of the video.
I pre ordered the Note 20 Ultra in black, with the Black buds live, the black Samsung watch 3, and the controller for gaming! Switching from iPhone after 8 years hope I’ll be happy.
You'll be happy. I ve had a note 9 since launch and also iPhone xs max only reason I still use the iPhone is because my entire family uses iphones and I need imessage for the family chats . I'm upgrading my my note 9 to the s20 ultra. Can't wait!!
You want simple or customizable? You intrigued by unique homescreen and widgets? You think you could use multi-window and split screen? Willing to spend time to learn a new OS? Than Android is for you. If you want simple and vanilla, iOS is perfect.
@@Newbegginings when setting fingerprint up press with left thumb then right thumb and so on until complete. Now you can use both thumbs instead of one. Trust me it works as I've done it to mine.
great toturial video..May I ask, Is there a way to edit the toggle down button in the main screen where all the options for wifi, airplane mode etc. are located. I tend to use mobile data more than wifi for the internet and would love to place the button beside the wifi button for easy access.. looking forward for more note 20 ultra videos..👌
Sure, swipe down for your notification panel and swipe down one more time to pull down the quick toggles. Then tap on the 3 little dots in the top right and tap on quick panel layout. That should allow you to edit the layout and move things around.
Appreciate if you tell me i have usa version same phone but I am using in gulf unfortunately there is no update android 11 as I saw gulf phones also there is mobile data option is missing plz guide me
Nope it’s not just you, I couldn’t figure out how to grab a link from the Galaxy Store on my laptop. So, I’m going to paste in tomorrow using the Note 20.
Just got mine today and it's already acting up . Wifi keeps dropping and won't find any websites ! Very strange I've had everynote there is bit this note day one and it's not working correctly .
What features of iMessage are you looking to replicate? Google Messages is pretty cool, especially when you use a PC and can type messages through that.
Dan Sourile I’ve just seen how some videos that come from my friends androids are pixelated. Dont get to see when people typing. Just the “web” type feel of iMessages. The “likes” without saying Jason liked a photo. Those things.
@@Jsoncv gotcha. Yeah, carriers sometimes limit file sizes... iMessage gets around that somehow. I personally don't like the whole "liking" thing but I can see where you'd miss that. Look into RCS - it's finally giving Android phones a unified chat style ability. I've long wondered why Google hasn't tried to copy iMessage. Part of the issue is the variety of phones and brands that run Android. Apple has the advantage of having only one phone basically. Hopefully RCS rectified this.
Oh kay, first, thanks for a very informative video. I have pre-ordered a Note 20 ultra. My current phone is about 10 years old and the battery died. Anyway, it looks like I have a great deal of "work" ahead of me. Looking forward to all of the followup videos. I would like to offer up one suggestion; slow down? I adjusted the playback speed to .75 and there were still somethings I missed. Thanks for providing the timecode list, that will be helpful when a watch this again with the Note in hand. Again, thanks for the info and I am looking forward to more.
Did it come with the phone ? Bc I got the unlock version pre-ordered but was wanting to know if I need to buy a verizon sim or if it will just come with one
received mine on 2 weeks ago and i love it im note lover just like you i even have the smoke dragon just love it and i love your program its very helpful the best phone around thank you
Hey bud long time no see.glad your doing well.so is the ultra better then the note 10 plus.i am not sure if i read right if it's just the normal galaxcy note 20 but they were saying that the phone wasn't not worth 1000 dollars and alot of the inside are lower powered.
Hey dude, I hope you’re doing well also. The Note 10 Plus is a fantastic phone and if you’re completely happy with it then it’s okay not to upgrade. But, if you’re deciding between Note 10 Plus and Note 20 Ultra the Ultra is a bit better. The Note 20 (non Ultra) is NOT worth 1k. It’s a plastic build with weaker specs vs other phones you can get for cheaper.
@@OT4Techyea thats what i heard about the regular note 20.i would like to get the ultra but still owe like 972 on a payment agreement.I think on the ultra you can play xbox games through their cloud service.also curious what are the difference between both.other then the chipset.
great video man this phone is packed with features it is going to take me a while to get use to this phone i always love the notes that galaxy has put out thank you for sharing iam just waiting for the other videos to watch when are you going to come out with the camera and pen video
Getting used to the placement of the s-pen and volume buttons. I am actually glad that all the buttons are on one side now, though volume is really close to the power button.
just pre-ordered mine the "unlocked version" also the buds live. getting it this weekend. don't care how much it cost because money is used to be spent, if you wondering how much i spend for the phone and buds live? $1650 including the taxes and the unlocked version cost more.
Check it out in the Samsung Galaxy Theme Store. It's under animated wallpapers. It's a $1.50 but if you have Samsung points just use those. There are a ton of high quality animated ones to choose from.
Preordered mine first day pre-orders were available. Can't wait to see the shipped message by tomorrow. Finally jumping up for my note 9. But I noticed 2 features you mentioned. I know you can customize icons and wallpapers, but can you now use themes while in dark mode?
Y'all, please help. Is there a reason to use a launcher anymore? I'm so used to using Nova Launcher (previously on the Note 4, then the Note 8) that I set it up as soon as I got the 20 Ultra, but now it seems like one UI does all the things that a launcher would. Should I take the plunge? Lol!
Is the only difference between the note 20 ultra 128gb and 512gb only the storage capacity or is there other things that the 512gb version has the the 128gb doesnt?
Things I wanna see 1. Note ultra VS S20 ultra front facing camera pics (40mp VS 10mp) why the drop, is there a loss in quality? 2.speed of auto focus VS the S20 ultra 3. Sound quality VS s20 ultra (mics & speakers), is the earpiece vibration gone?) 4.screen on time VS S20 ultra 5. Low light VS S20 ultra 7. I want to vlog and love the look of 4k 24fps, and I love the ability to switch cameras while recording, if both FF & RF cameras are set to 4k 24fps, will they retain those settings when switched while recording? I JUST bought the Note 10 plus, I'm willing to get this phone for camera performance alone, but I can't commit because there isn't an indepth camera video on TH-cam yet. Danny's was pretty good but not as in depth as I'd like in order to drop $1k+. And finally, Is there a review embargo?

Personally, I think it was so they could invest in the in display fingerprint scanner. I’m right there without though. I would much rather have true facial recognition like the iPhone or Pixel 4 and a rear fingerprint scanner or no finger printer scanner.
@@OT4Tech would you be willing to have those big nasty notches for the facial recognition though? I like that big screen that's almost perfectly uninterrupted...
I've had an iPhone for as long as I can remember and I just preordered the galaxy note 20 ultra this video was very helpful
I’m glad I could help. Thank you for the kind words.
You will never be able to go back to iPhone after this. I love my iPad but Samsung is the best for phones.

I get my one yesterday after waiting 12 days to be here and guest what when I open has already a contact added and is supposed to be brand new from the wearhouse buyed online. I was so mad for this and also the sticker was open and look some scratch on the top and bottom of course come without protection there. Any way Samsung told me to return the product and reorder one more time so nice I have to wait until the process finish and them need to wait 15 days more to be delivery thank you. I really like Samsung but that was frustrating since I receive at 2 pm until 1 pm from the next day calling customer service disappointing in all the ways.
I understand... its gonna be worth the wait. Good luvk
Great videos! Glad I found them ready for the delivery of mine!
Will it still be able to do 3d renders/ scanning?
Not like the Note 10+ since it’s missing the TOF camera.
@@OT4Tech follow up question what samsung phones have a ToF camera or should I say what's the oldest or cheapest (if there an A or M series with it) that would have it.)
I can't take them but the ones from note 10 that were transferred to it I can still use and edit them so I like to pick up another samsung so there no compatability issues with transferring them from ToF phone to note 20 ultra
I'm still on my much loved Note 9 so it's been awhile since I've had to set up a phone. Thanks for reminding me of a few things and inspiring me to do others! This is a great tutorial for beginners as well. I've had every single Note (even the poor, sad Note 7) and I absolutely love them. I'll never give up my S Pen!!! Thanks again! Subscribed so I can follow for more great videos! Also, I've heard that preorders may get the phone on the 19th! Some were posting their FedEx delivery manager showing shipping on 17th, arriving the 19th! Very excited to get my 20 Ultra 512gb in black! It will be a fun several days of making it perfect and perfectly organized! Can. Not. Wait.
Meant to add that my personal order does not yet show shipping information. I've checked every few hours since I started seeing possible early shipping. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up! Just thought I'd mention it just in case. I always take the day off when my phone is expected to arrive and I stalk the front porch waiting on FedEx. I'm a very proud Note Nerd! Please don't judge me!
@@miniwife I know this is very late after your comment but yh I m a note fan too. Gutted when I heard that they were ending the note series..😢 I just got my ultra 20 at a great price. I know it 3 years after it came out but I hear its still great phone to use in 2023. Also I guess it ĺl be the last actual note I ll ever have. 😢Gotta set it up though so I m typing this on my trusty note 8 which is dying . Gonna miss my little note 8 to but onwards and upwards
Hi Jonathan, for the face configuration, when you hold your phone you must press the right-side button first to turn the screen on then it's starting to do the face configuration? there is no rise to wake the screen?
Got mine this morning!!!! I love it
🔥🔥🔥
SAME! Happy af
You never use palm swipe capture???? I find this feature very useful to take a screenshot. It's not a new feature, I use it on my note 8.
Nah I never use it. It’s been around forever since the Galaxy S5 I believe.
This will be my first Note, cant wait.
🔥 I hope you enjoy it! If you need help with anything feel free to reach out on FB, IG, or Twitter.
What a way to start
Hi could you do one with a tempered glass screen protector that has finger print recognition thats is not from whitestone dome?
Hm, that ones tough because Whitestone pretty much has the curved edge to edge screen protector market on lock but I will look into it.
@@OT4Tech yea, I know that too. But it's close to 80usd to ship to my country, so I'm looking for an alternative if not I'll just have to use facial recognition. Thanks in advance for the help tho!
Thank you! Cant wait for my phone to come 🙂
You’re going to love it!
Could you do a camera comparison between the S20 ultra and Note 20 ultra I'm torn between keeping my s20 UA and trading it for the Note 20 UA
But can it make phone calls?? Haha. Already pre ordered mine!!
nice wall paper the dragon type but I've been having trouble finding it can u send a link for it
Check out t he pinned comment. I left the link there.
Hopefully I can get this phone with their pre-order deal going on right now. Its still pricey
I traded in my Note 9 directly with Samsung and got a $550 trade in value. Shipped for with Buds Live for $850
@@randomwicked9806 thats dope, I was gonna trade in s9+ for 400 of with cracked screen, but now it dropped to 300 but its still a good deal bc they usually don't accept cracked phones
@@gabrielhernandez3423 I noticed that as well when I was clicking though. Still a great deal on a device like this. I don't know if I will go back to buying from my service provider simply due to the direct purchase deals.
Did you ever make that accessories video? Looking for screen protectors, and if any glass ones with well with fingerprint reader without being super expensive. Thanks!
I never made an actual accessory video but I covered a few including a screen protector in this video - th-cam.com/video/fQ97QHpdVHo/w-d-xo.html
@@OT4Tech thanks! i'll check them out!!! Great video, btw, I think my Note 20 Ultra arrives tomorrow. Coming from a Pixel 2xl, so all these new settings are new to me. Hopefully I will enjoy the experience!
Thank you for the detailed set-up. I'll definitely check in once you have the new camera settings video up.
Jonathan can I still use dual physical sim in this Note 20 Ultra even though it has an embedded eSIM?
Unfortunately the model that I have has a single sim slot on the tray. The other area is for an SD card.
@@OT4Tech Thanks man. 👍
11:10 My Galaxy s8+ running on android 9 had navigation gestures D:
Do you think I need to buy a screen protector for this phone? The glass seems pretty solid as is.
As a southpaw, I'm excited that the pen is on the left.
Haha, I feel that. I'm happy they are giving in to the lefties out there
dam you southpaws lol
hi mate just got my note20 ultra an l'm new to them you've been a great help an would just like to say thank you,also is it my note came with a screen protector should i remove it an put on a better one or just leave it till i need to replace it
Great video man! Lots of these tips were a great refresher for settings I haven't touched since I set up my Note 10+. Definitely earned a sub 👍
I appreciate that! Thank you for the kind words.
Is the link for the dragon wallpaper anywhere?
Pinned comment 😉
@@OT4Tech thanks!
Watching on my NOTE20 ULTRAAAA!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same!
Hi Jonathan, I've got my new Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G. Should I keep my old SIM or should I insert the new sim which was in the box? Do I have to activate the new SIM?
If you need to use easy mode, get an iPhone.
No need Samsuun better ❤
I phone is just for people who are just a show off themselves 😂
So when is the best time to switch the simm card from old device? After the transfer or before? And after the setup or before??
I don’t think it matters to be honest.
Samsung has disappointed me with this one. $1,300, no headphones, 128gs instead of 256gs standard like the Note 10+ , no headphone jack, no case in the box, no 45 watt charger in the box, no IR blaster, no 120hz refresh rate at QHD resolution, no 30 watt wireless charging, S-Pen on the left side of the device, a 4,500 mAh battery as opposed to a 5,000 mAh battery? No sell for me. Please stop making excuses for these companies that's charging you more money but are giving you less in return.
Note 10+ to Note 20 Ultra is a solid upgrade I feel but S20 Ultra to Note 20 Ultra is far less ideal and something that I won’t recommend. There are a lot of stand out features mostly with the camera that make the Note 20 Ultra pretty appealing and with the trade in offerings it’s pretty competitive pricing. I mean I don’t know where else you can trade in a Note 9 and get $500 off. But I do understand your frustration. I said a lot of the same things and had to take a step back.
@@OT4Tech I have no issue with there trade in deals because they are pretty generous but to keep taking away things or not adding things that they should bothers me, especially when you can get a lot of those things I mentioned on other premium devices for a lot less money. The Note series was always known has the device that gave you everything. They use to be the Swiss Army Knife of all smartphones.
Completely feel that. I think I made that same statement with the Note 7 when it exploded on the scene lol.. but in seriousness, they are following the trends of other smartphone makers. They definitely have stripped away some things but they’ve added things too. In the end it all comes down to what’s important to you. The 45 watt charger btw is a joke. I have it and it’s only good for burst charging and charges in the same time as the 25 watt one that’s included. Fast wireless charging is included on the Note 20 Ultra but it’s not like Oneplus or Oppo. Going back to the Note 7 fiasco, this is something Samsung will forever tiptoe around. They can’t afford something like that happening again so they will never offer the fastest charging on any device. I don’t want to justify them stripping things away so don’t think that I am but some times as a reviewer we have to play devils advocate.
@@OT4Tech I hear you. Thanks for the conversation bro. I have my own TH-cam channel. However it's no where near as good as yours is, but I enjoy reviewing tech. Love your channel. If your interested in checking it out it's Vernon Lee Warren. Peace.
I do miss the ir blaster maybe one day it will return 🤞
This is probably a stupid question... But with the maxed out screen do we lose the led notification light now on these phones?... I actually find it extremely helpful on my note 9 and feel like I Wil lreally miss that, I know it sounds stupid but I like. Being able to see the color of the light and know if it's a missed call, text, notification or just an email etc...
Your hands are beautiful... you should be a hand model like George Costanza
👐 haha thank you
As a 20 year iOS user who just got a Note20 I want to thank you soooooo much for this video. Love the customizable features.
I say I’m going to stay with the Note 10 plus for now.
I'm glad I asked.
Hi Jonathan I'm interested in purchasing the unlocked version as well my carrier is Verizon am I able to get visual voicemail with the U.S. unlocked version?
Great content.. I still love my note10 (non-plus) i picked it up on black Friday sales along with a galaxy watch with a massive discount.. I am one who much prefers the squared off corners and waterfall display.. The note10 is a great size, fits in the hand and pocket just fine, not too big and not small by any means, just perfect.. I'll wait for next years Note as my next upgrade.. Previous to my note10 and galaxy watch I had an iPhone 8 plus and series 3 apple watch - although it was a decent phone and watch neither of them came close to how much better Samsung is and how much i enjoy the customisation ability and great emulators available in the play store along with the sensational Samsung DeX
Yeah, I can see what you mean and I totally don’t blame you. I did a Note 10 in 2020 video recently and it’s still such a great phone. I don’t fault anybody for wanting to hold onto their current device.
@@OT4Tech Thanks for the reply, I'm going to go check out your note10 video now.. Great content, I'm now subscribed
so do we register 1 finger for 2 of the 4 fingerprints available for storage? I am confused.
What's the best case to protect screen aswell ,as the stick on screen protectors come off
There is a "tab" below the keyboard when typing, does anyone knows how to remove that?
I don't have the tab below my keyboard
@@tommyphung2115 on the @20:51 below the keyboard, you will see the "tab" i'm talking about. i'm using 3rd party keyboard and it's white in color, very obvious compare to using samsung keyboard which will be black if you use dark modr.
Unfortunately it has to do with theming on a system level. Basically it’s a bug and should get ironed out soon. I remember the same thing happening on the S10 and Note 10.
@@OT4Tech Thank you for the reply, it's bugging the hell out of me haha. Hope they clear it soon.
I have questions I got a Note 20 Ultra unlocked version. I am with Verizon. The 4G LTE does show up on my phone. I get my emails and text. Every once in awhile the late will flash. Dis I do something wrong on setting. Thanka
JONATHON...... I'm seeing lot of complaints of people saying the camera fogs up between lenses and housing when goin from inside in cool ac to outdoor heat... can you please test this and tell if this is true if so I won't be tra SD ing in my note 9 for the 20 ultra
question, my ultra is set on volume off auto mode and I have not found a way to change it to manual. Please help.
the volume keeps turn off by itself and I miss calls very often.
Please consider uploading in 60fps. I'd love to view the higher refresh rate of the phone.
I might try this later down the road but 60fps hurts my eyes haha
Thanks for the consideration. I appreciate watching you and floss you guys are in the minority that allow the phones to be the main focal point of the video.
I don't think you could appreciate 120Hz in 60Hz.
Just got my Note20 Ultra today! Excited to set it up!
That’s awesome! I hope you like it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out on social.
If u have gestures on, how do I close the running background apps?
Swipe up and to the right or swipe up and hold a second to pull up the app switcher. Then just swipe up on the apps you want to close.
I totally agree about the new placement of the S-Pen and the Volume and Side Button control! Why???
I live in Egypt but I will buy it unlocked from USA is it ok ? The phone will work normally or not ?
I pre ordered the Note 20 Ultra in black, with the Black buds live, the black Samsung watch 3, and the controller for gaming! Switching from iPhone after 8 years hope I’ll be happy.
You'll be happy. I ve had a note 9 since launch and also iPhone xs max only reason I still use the iPhone is because my entire family uses iphones and I need imessage for the family chats . I'm upgrading my my note 9 to the s20 ultra. Can't wait!!
@JonathanCasey do you recommend switching from iOS to this?
You want simple or customizable?
You intrigued by unique homescreen and widgets? You think you could use multi-window and split screen? Willing to spend time to learn a new OS? Than Android is for you.
If you want simple and vanilla, iOS is perfect.
You can scan your thumbs as one fingerprint, just keep swapping thumbs when setting it up.
How is tat possible?
@@Newbegginings when setting fingerprint up press with left thumb then right thumb and so on until complete. Now you can use both thumbs instead of one. Trust me it works as I've done it to mine.
Can u advise on how to remove the voicemail notifications at the top of my screen ?
Thanks for such a informative lesson, just one thing how do you set up WiFi calling on Ultra - Thanks
what about fill flash? when the light is from the back???
great toturial video..May I ask, Is there a way to edit the toggle down button in the main screen where all the options for wifi, airplane mode etc. are located. I tend to use mobile data more than wifi for the internet and would love to place the button beside the wifi button for easy access.. looking forward for more note 20 ultra videos..👌
Sure, swipe down for your notification panel and swipe down one more time to pull down the quick toggles. Then tap on the 3 little dots in the top right and tap on quick panel layout. That should allow you to edit the layout and move things around.
@@OT4Tech thanks for the reply, was able to customize my toggle button the way I want it.. Can't wait for your other videos..Cheers.Xx
🙏 I’m glad I could help
Appreciate if you tell me i have usa version same phone but I am using in gulf unfortunately there is no update android 11 as I saw gulf phones also there is mobile data option is missing plz guide me
Great Video and great initial tips and trick looking forward to seeing more. Is it just me or is there no link for the wallpaper in the description?
Nope it’s not just you, I couldn’t figure out how to grab a link from the Galaxy Store on my laptop. So, I’m going to paste in tomorrow using the Note 20.
What controller did you pick up for gaming
Should I get a screen protector?
I would but it’s personal preference. Check out my tips and tricks video to see which one I recommend
Just got mine today and it's already acting up . Wifi keeps dropping and won't find any websites ! Very strange I've had everynote there is bit this note day one and it's not working correctly .
I preordered mine. Coming from iPhone after 5-6 years. What’s a good iMessage alternative?
What features of iMessage are you looking to replicate? Google Messages is pretty cool, especially when you use a PC and can type messages through that.
Dan Sourile I’ve just seen how some videos that come from my friends androids are pixelated. Dont get to see when people typing. Just the “web” type feel of iMessages. The “likes” without saying Jason liked a photo. Those things.
@@Jsoncv gotcha. Yeah, carriers sometimes limit file sizes... iMessage gets around that somehow. I personally don't like the whole "liking" thing but I can see where you'd miss that. Look into RCS - it's finally giving Android phones a unified chat style ability. I've long wondered why Google hasn't tried to copy iMessage. Part of the issue is the variety of phones and brands that run Android. Apple has the advantage of having only one phone basically. Hopefully RCS rectified this.
Palm swipe to capture is the best! Idk how you don't use it
Oh kay, first, thanks for a very informative video. I have pre-ordered a Note 20 ultra. My current phone is about 10 years old and the battery died. Anyway, it looks like I have a great deal of "work" ahead of me. Looking forward to all of the followup videos. I would like to offer up one suggestion; slow down? I adjusted the playback speed to .75 and there were still somethings I missed. Thanks for providing the timecode list, that will be helpful when a watch this again with the Note in hand.
Again, thanks for the info and I am looking forward to more.
My samsung galaxy note 20 ultra does not have that camera photo set up. Can you help me what is the problem?
Pre-ordered mine In Mystic bronze I got the note 20 ultra so excited. I don’t know how I’m gonna feel though because I’m switching from Apple.
So you got a Verizon sim with the unlocked Verizon of the phone?
Yep, the unlocked models support all carriers.
Did it come with the phone ? Bc I got the unlock version pre-ordered but was wanting to know if I need to buy a verizon sim or if it will just come with one
@@OT4Tech please let me know so I know if I need to go buy a Verizon Sims or if one will be included with the unlock version of the phone
Got my yesterday.
I like the power button the tradicional way.
Same, having it reversed messed me up a little but now I’m used to it.
Just got mine this week love it
🔥🔥🔥 what color?
@@OT4Tech black
received mine on 2 weeks ago and i love it im note lover just like you i even have the smoke dragon just love it
and i love your program its very helpful the best phone around thank you
Hey bud long time no see.glad your doing well.so is the ultra better then the note 10 plus.i am not sure if i read right if it's just the normal galaxcy note 20 but they were saying that the phone wasn't not worth 1000 dollars and alot of the inside are lower powered.
Hey dude, I hope you’re doing well also. The Note 10 Plus is a fantastic phone and if you’re completely happy with it then it’s okay not to upgrade. But, if you’re deciding between Note 10 Plus and Note 20 Ultra the Ultra is a bit better. The Note 20 (non Ultra) is NOT worth 1k. It’s a plastic build with weaker specs vs other phones you can get for cheaper.
@@OT4Techyea thats what i heard about the regular note 20.i would like to get the ultra but still owe like 972 on a payment agreement.I think on the ultra you can play xbox games through their cloud service.also curious what are the difference between both.other then the chipset.
@@OT4Tech forgot to ask you what ya think of the Whitestone dome protection for the galaxcy note 20 ultra?
Just got them in. I’ll be including them in an upcoming video but so far so good.
great video man this phone is packed with features it is going to take me a while to get use to this phone i always love the notes that galaxy has put out thank you for sharing iam just waiting for the other videos to watch when are you going to come out with the camera and pen video
Getting used to the placement of the s-pen and volume buttons. I am actually glad that all the buttons are on one side now, though volume is really close to the power button.
What's the deal with one sneaker facing forward & the other facing back?
So that way the full sneaker is visible.
just pre-ordered mine the "unlocked version" also the buds live. getting it this weekend. don't care how much it cost because money is used to be spent, if you wondering how much i spend for the phone and buds live? $1650 including the taxes and the unlocked version cost more.
How do you get the dragon wallpaper that’s animated?
Check it out in the Samsung Galaxy Theme Store. It's under animated wallpapers. It's a $1.50 but if you have Samsung points just use those. There are a ton of high quality animated ones to choose from.
@@OT4Tech whats it titled?
Just type dragon
Jonathan Casey don’t see it can you send a screen shot of it
apps.samsung.com/theme/ProductDetail.as?appId=com.einsindrei.DragonII.wallpapervideo
Opens in Galaxy Themes.
Preordered mine first day pre-orders were available. Can't wait to see the shipped message by tomorrow. Finally jumping up for my note 9. But I noticed 2 features you mentioned. I know you can customize icons and wallpapers, but can you now use themes while in dark mode?
Yeah you can but some areas will display the dark mode settings vs the theme.
Y'all, please help. Is there a reason to use a launcher anymore? I'm so used to using Nova Launcher (previously on the Note 4, then the Note 8) that I set it up as soon as I got the 20 Ultra, but now it seems like one UI does all the things that a launcher would. Should I take the plunge? Lol!
Is the only difference between the note 20 ultra 128gb and 512gb only the storage capacity or is there other things that the 512gb version has the the 128gb doesnt?
Things I wanna see
1. Note ultra VS S20 ultra front facing camera pics (40mp VS 10mp) why the drop, is there a loss in quality?
2.speed of auto focus VS the S20 ultra
3. Sound quality VS s20 ultra (mics & speakers), is the earpiece vibration gone?)
4.screen on time VS S20 ultra
5. Low light VS S20 ultra
7. I want to vlog and love the look of 4k 24fps, and I love the ability to switch cameras while recording, if both FF & RF cameras are set to 4k 24fps, will they retain those settings when switched while recording?
I JUST bought the Note 10 plus, I'm willing to get this phone for camera performance alone, but I can't commit because there isn't an indepth camera video on TH-cam yet. Danny's was pretty good but not as in depth as I'd like in order to drop $1k+.
And finally, Is there a review embargo?
Samsung is doing pre-orders and you get 650 off for the note 10
Just thought I'd put that out there if you didn't know yet, plus 150 in credit for accessories
I've heard several reviews that speak of the embargo. I believe it's the 18th or 19th.
