@@MikeOBrienMedia Hey thanks for the reply! Yea I guesss Sammy would not want the negative shade Note 20 is casting to be highlighted much. Nevertheless, its the processor that determines the longevity of a phone , not the camera....hence my interest in the Note 20.
I had this phone for two weeks now and I love it. I love the fact that it's plastic, so if I drop it, it will not shatter like the other notes with the glass back.
I feel like Mike and Flossy think for themselves. A lot of others hear what the biggest 2-3 tech reviewers say then try to toe a similar line (maybe they're understandably afraid of being attacked in the comments). But Mike and Flossy always keep it 💯 🙌🏿
I just purchased this phone and absolutely love it. At this price point I most definitely agree that earbuds should be included. I upgraded from the Samsung S9plus so this was a solid upgrade. The s pen features are wonderful to have since I use my phone all the time for work. I cannot notice the 1080p feature you were disappointed with and having the plastic back is preferable to the glass back for me. I cracked the glass back on my previous phone which I believe lead to issues with the speakers. I did not want to upgrade 2 years into buying the S9plus but gave Samsung another go because I absolutely love their operating system and trauma to the phone would be an issue with any brand.
@@nymiradripp It' not, but the content and the input source have to support higher refresh and frame rates. I was blown away by my first expensive tv. I bought it for the screen size but I wasn't aware that it was native 120 hz hdmi 2.0 until I decided to hook my gaming PC up to it. That's when I really started paying attention to frame rates and display specs. When I bought a new 4K tv in 2017 I could tell it wasn't native 120hz immediately. The motion rate said 120 on a 60hz panel and I was expecting the post processing to make up the difference, but I ended up being disappointed.
thank you for the complete explanation I am still confused between Note 20 Ultra or Note 20. After this explanation note 20 makes more sense to buy. In daily use, a durable battery is preferred and the power of the chipset is not overheating.
finally flat screen ( i have never seen logic with edge ), plastic body - so what? almost everyone is buying cover and to this fact doesn't matter, spending more to get ULTRA is a lot too much just to have bigger ( no reason ) and metal ( so what ? ), and better screen which human eye is not capable to see anyway. Finally phone to get !
Have the note 20 and tbh I really do love it man and tbh I was very Skeptical of buying it at first but ever since I bought it I fall more and more in love!
With regard to screen quality as you put it, 1080p is fine especially as you have that on the N20U with 120Hz, so if a negative it is no higher refresh rate. For me, I have tried a couple of 120Hz-phones and do not notice the difference and wonder if it is simply hyped? Mind you I do not play games or fast scroll through my apps or home screens! I will take 60Hz for the extra battery as you need all the help you can get with the Exynos SoC. Positive for me is the flat display, which I feel is sensible on a phone with a pen. 256gb ROM in the UK is enough for 90%+ of users so no SD card is not a big deal. The cameras look good and are exceptional for most users. Plastic is fine as the first thing I do is put on a hardcore case and screen protector. So, for me, saving the £350 for the N20 seems like a worthwhile choice, although I can already get it for £100 less on eBay and if I wait a month or so, nearer £600, I got the smaller N10 last year for £650 after a few weeks last year! Obviously, if you are a spec-junky, live and die by having every new feature and gimmick then pay the premium for the N20U, but if you want something that does all the important stuff then wait a month and get a bargain on the slightly smaller Note (maybe just £100 more than the Pixel 5, and that really will have low specs!).
In indonesia you get samsung earbuds+ for free if u preordered the note 20 and the earbuds live for the note 20 ultra. I guess this was a compensation for the exynoss vs snapdragon chipsets
The only thing is the processor is a beast... If they used a SD 765 and charged $700ish, this would be a hot seller. Similarly, if they improved the screen, I think this would be a hot seller. They mixed and matched midrange and flagship features but charged flagship pricing... weird
@@MikeOBrienMedia yeah Agree. But these specs didnt leave a room for a LITE version, that might come later in first quarter of 2021! It clearly looks like a downgraded phone, so as to justify the ULTRA pricing!
Pritam Kaushik I hate edge screens and will absolutely NOT buy one under any circumstance. Also, I used to own a phone repair business and, to me, wanting a glass back over plastic is ignorance at its finest. The glass is less than half a millimeter thick. There is no benefit for the back to be glass.
@@joshuaorange8290 Flat or curved is totally personal choice though. Regarding glass or plastic back, its not that I want glass back, its about cost to the company. The benefit of saving money on gorilla glass back with plastic, should be passed to the customer!
Pritam Kaushik a single piece of cosmetic material like that has essentially no impact of cost of a device like that. I suspect it is a test to see how it lasts long term and how the market handles it. Glass on the front I get. But glass on the back has no benefit whatsoever.
Just FYI, you say in this vid that this phone doesn't have edge lighting, but it actually does. I picked up this phone yesterday and it's still got the edge lighting feature, even though it's got a flat display. 🙂
The 21 series if being released in a few days and I want a note for a great price, samsung is offering me the regular note 20 for $369 with a trade-in for my $550 for my broken s10e
Hey Mike! I went on Samsung's website earlier and saw a deal on an official certified renewed note 20 ultra for $625 USD and a certified renewed regular note 20 for 425 USD. This may sound like an obvious question but which phone is a better buy? Thanks!
Got my Note 20 for $274!! Yep keeping it ! Ohh and I got the $150 credit. Yes I traded in a Note 9 I paid $330 for so if you include that around $600. But yeah.. I am still good
I can tell you right now you're better off buying an S20 than this. It's cheaper and unless you care about the S-Pen, it's more fully featured, too. Actually, I think an S20+ is a great middle ground between the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, but regardless, either the S20 or S20+ are both better buys than this. I have an S20 Ultra and it's fine but overpriced.
AT&T has this phone free on contract (with trade in). I suspect Samsung doesn't really expect to see the $1000 MSRP to exist in the real world, and the carrier's cost is substantially reduced so that the phone can be sold cheap as a retention or new customer inducement incentive. I would not at all be surprised if Samsung is selling this to retailers for $300-$400. I think it would be a good buy at $700, and I really think we'll see that price well before Black Friday.
It is less than 600 dollars here. Im considering. I like the fact it has a flat screen and the plastic back. I use otterbox anyway, one less thing to break.
I really dont care it hasnt got a glass back, I'd rather it has a light texture as easier to hold. My S8+ has one, and it makes it slipperly to hold, which is why it got dropped and smashed the screen. Personally I think its a great phone
wow - I got this phone. We get earphones and there is a factory applied screen protector on it. It cost me £635 with trade in of my old Note 10 here in the UK.
I actually took advantage of AT&T's promo to upgrade and get this phone for free with trade in. I got the Mystic Green color. I've always wanted to try a Note phone but never switched from iPhone until now. Must say going from the iPhone XR's LCD 828p resolution display to the Note20's AMOLED 1080p resolution display is extremely noticeable. I thought the plastic back would get to me however it actually feels nice. Bummed they didn't include USB-C headphones however as an Apple user I'm used to dongles so.. Dongle Ahoy!
@@sato8875 thats exactly what I did too, same color also but, I love it, but also have an otterbox on it, so sadly can't see the green,, which is really nice.. I went from galaxy s8, so nut much of a learning curve, but this display is awesome , the pen is really handy,(although im not sure yet how to use it fully) the camera is really great and the software is snappy! very happy with my Free phone! my s8 was 5 years old and in perfect condition despite being in construction and dropped on concrete a bunch. the active models are the most diesel phones out there imo. not sure the note 20 is gonna hold up , (hence the otterbox) , but its literally free minus 60.00 in taxes, and trade in. Can't beat it!
I feel like the pricing on the phone is more about the name "Note 20" rather than what the product is really worth. It's acceptable for a 2019 upgrade, 2020 is the year of 120hz
Is the phone back scratched? I doubt it would be scratched if the back had Gorilla Glass Victus (or even GG5 for that matter). Anyway, good to hear something about the regular model.
I just got the note 20 in the US, this is my first note so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but should I replace and how do I replace the tip of the s pen. Like how often should I replace it. And where can I get some replacement tips
I picked mine up for $799, so I'm hoping I made a wise choice. It didn't have a cheap feel in the hand and since I use cases on all my phones, I don't care about a plastic back.
I have the note 20 and the 9nly complaint I have is the battery life isn't as good as I would like for it to be. Last phone was the Galaxy S10+ and its no better. I know I'm constantly on it and playing games. Anything I can do to help the battery life?
I sent mine back to Samsung the day after I received it. I really felt like I was being taken advantage of. A plastic back, no headphones,no expandable storage just to name a few. The real deal breaker for me was Samsungs customer service. They are horrible and I can't say that enough. I think I'm going to try out another company and see how it goes.
The display only being 1080p was a little disappointing to me, but it's got such high PPI it doesn't even matter, you can't tell it's only 1080 honestly. Edge lighting does infact work on this model too, Coming from a curved screen I like the squared off edges. I now hate curved screens The camera on this model is 64MP, the Ultra has 108MP
I just switched from a stylo 6 to a note 20,I'm loving it so far,I switched because I prefer Samsung phones an wanted a different carrier,personally I don't like the curved sides I've had a s9,nor do I like the glass backs
I just bought the note 20 but was meaning to buy the note 20 ultra. I don't hate it. I don't play games on my phone prefer playing on laptop or my TV which is a huge screen. Also don't watch movies on my phone again why watch on a phone when you have a tv. Never understood that one. It does everything I need my smart phone to do. I will agree it would be better at a lower price but so would all smartphones. It was a good review. But I say screw it and just get what you like. The only opinion that really matters is your own.
May I ask why don't you mention the deals that Samsung offers when talking about the price. Like if you turn in a note 10 you get $500 off. Most people don't keep their old phones.
Just got this for 700. But i actually wanted the ultra. I mistakenly bought the regular one. I tried canceling, now let's see if it works lol. But idk now im staring to think that 700 dls i might as well keep it . What do you think?
So currently I have the s10 plus, and I can get a trade in value through Samsung and the note 20 5g would cost me $450. Would you say that is worth it? I think k it's a pretty good deal for a trade in , but what are your thoughts?
Samsung has a deal right now where I can get the Note 20 at $697 and that price includes tax. If I were to get the Note 20 Ultra with the same deal of the trade in I would spend $924. Taking into consideration all you said and the fact that I am paying $697 and not $1,000, do you think that is a good price? Also, I have a Samsung S9 now, so I am sure that the Note 20 is better than my S9 now. I would rather save the $300 dollars between the regular Note 20 vs the Ultra, and use that on something else. Please tell me what you think!!
This phone is not worth $1000. Planning to trade in my 2 year old cracked S9 for a regular note 10. But with all the negative reviews about this phone, samsung offered a better deal. Got this for $700 for trading in my s9 and then a $100 off for a buds live. $400 savings compared to only $200 for a regular note 10. Not a bad deal.
Why pay for any of these phones at full price ,they're all over priced,its just a phone . I just updated from a note 8,to the note 20 5g in mystic red color for $675 ,and I love it.and the back is fine ,I drop things to much ,so a glass back i don't need. And this mystic red is soo beautiful and I dont have to cover my phone up with a case,and I love the flat display.
I have had the phone for about 2 weeks maybe and can not complain about. The only thing I don't like is no SD card slot. 1300 for the Ultra yea I couldn't see paying that for it either.
I honestly think if they just gave this 120Hz, it would be an insanely big seller. I think they wanted to push more people to the ultra, but I think most people are actually just turned off by the whole lineup this year. This phone is definitely extremely capable though
For $1000, no thank you but I'm tempted because they are doing a great trade-in deal. I have the Note 9 and if I trade mine in I could get this for $450 but that plastic back and downgrade display is making me pause. Then again if feel like if I bought the Note 20 I would be missing out in the features of the Ultra but like Flossy said it is TGH. Samsung needs to clam down.
Maybe the reason why it’s $1,000 is just on the features and the Note20 Ultra cost more based on the additional features that the note 20 doesn’t have. Yet it looks worth it in a way for people.
Most people who don't know what they're looking for in a phone shouldn't even be wasting their money on a flagship. Most people who buy flagships buy flagships because they know what they want in a phone, so for a flagship (and a $1000 Galaxy Note at that) to have these compromises is kinda unforgivable. Such a shame.
i dont care about the back material because i will just put a case but the biggest drawback is the 60hz im not getting a phone without 120hz cant live without it
It's note 20 ultra lite...even note 10 lite has glastic instead of plastic...also why punch hole size is bigger in this compared to ultra..also no tpu case for 1000$ ...no extra s tips.. Clearly from tab s7 and note 20 Samsung wants to push it's customers to ultra and + models..
Probably the only guy to review the normal Note 20...
One of the few at least. Samsung didn't send Note20 review units to the big guys, so most of them only reviewed the ultra so far
@@MikeOBrienMedia Hey thanks for the reply! Yea I guesss Sammy would not want the negative shade Note 20 is casting to be highlighted much. Nevertheless, its the processor that determines the longevity of a phone , not the camera....hence my interest in the Note 20.

Man, the micro USB would have been nice for my mp3s but I got mine for FREE from AT&T. Overall happy with it.
I sent mine back to Samsung the day after I received it. I really felt like I was being taken advantage of. A plastic back, no headphones,no expandable storage just to name a few. The real deal breaker for me was Samsungs customer service. They are horrible and I can't say that enough. I think I'm going to try out another company and see how it goes.
The display only being 1080p was a little disappointing to me, but it's got such high PPI it doesn't even matter, you can't tell it's only 1080 honestly. Edge lighting does infact work on this model too, Coming from a curved screen I like the squared off edges. I now hate curved screens
The camera on this model is 64MP, the Ultra has 108MP
Hey Mike, please do a review on the new Fitbit Versa 3
I want a Note device too. Other downgrades are fine but the screen resolution at this price is a deal breaker for me.
I just switched from a stylo 6 to a note 20,I'm loving it so far,I switched because I prefer Samsung phones an wanted a different carrier,personally I don't like the curved sides I've had a s9,nor do I like the glass backs
Note 20 is absoultely looking like s20 fe mint colour 😂😂😂😂
I turn off 120hz on every phone I had with it. it fucks with my eyes. so am using this phone at the moment exynos version. perfectly happy with this.
Did u compare the Display directly to the Note 20 Ultra, as unbox theory said the Note 20 has the better looking, eyepleasing screen?
I just bought the note 20 but was meaning to buy the note 20 ultra. I don't hate it. I don't play games on my phone prefer playing on laptop or my TV which is a huge screen. Also don't watch movies on my phone again why watch on a phone when you have a tv. Never understood that one. It does everything I need my smart phone to do. I will agree it would be better at a lower price but so would all smartphones. It was a good review. But I say screw it and just get what you like. The only opinion that really matters is your own.
I will have mine on Tuesday super excited
I have the note 9. Should I upgrade to the note 20 ?
@@Justme91169 i updated my note 8 and love it .. in my case definitely was a good move
I Tried Looking for A Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in The Apple Store and It Wasn’t There
No kidding Apple store sells iPhones not Samsung
You make good points. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
Weird. In the UK, my note 20 is 256gb, comes with earbuds and is dual sim.
May I ask why don't you mention the deals that Samsung offers when talking about the price. Like if you turn in a note 10 you get $500 off. Most people don't keep their old phones.
Make the darm phones lighter and cheaper ditch the glass and give me plastic. Almost all of us slap our phones in plastic cases anyway .
i subscribed cuz you made me feel less shitty about buying this phone.
Just got this for 700. But i actually wanted the ultra. I mistakenly bought the regular one. I tried canceling, now let's see if it works lol. But idk now im staring to think that 700 dls i might as well keep it . What do you think?
I got my Note 20 for 935 US Dollars it came with FREE Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and an AKG type-c Headphones and Dual Sim and 256GB Storage.
So currently I have the s10 plus, and I can get a trade in value through Samsung and the note 20 5g would cost me $450. Would you say that is worth it? I think k it's a pretty good deal for a trade in , but what are your thoughts?
I might grab this phone since it went down in price but I’m still thinking it through strongly
Samsung has a deal right now where I can get the Note 20 at $697 and that price includes tax. If I were to get the Note 20 Ultra with the same deal of the trade in I would spend $924. Taking into consideration all you said and the fact that I am paying $697 and not $1,000, do you think that is a good price? Also, I have a Samsung S9 now, so I am sure that the Note 20 is better than my S9 now. I would rather save the $300 dollars between the regular Note 20 vs the Ultra, and use that on something else. Please tell me what you think!!
I would say most people would put a case to protect their investment so I don't really care for it having a plastic back.
This phone is not worth $1000. Planning to trade in my 2 year old cracked S9 for a regular note 10. But with all the negative reviews about this phone, samsung offered a better deal. Got this for $700 for trading in my s9 and then a $100 off for a buds live. $400 savings compared to only $200 for a regular note 10. Not a bad deal.
I would like to hear why a glass back is a pro and not a con?
Why pay for any of these phones at full price ,they're all over priced,its just a phone . I just updated from a note 8,to the note 20 5g in mystic red color for $675 ,and I love it.and the back is fine ,I drop things to much ,so a glass back i don't need. And this mystic red is soo beautiful and I dont have to cover my phone up with a case,and I love the flat display.
I wonder if it is worth trading in the s10+. Trading it in brings it closer to 400s
I have had the phone for about 2 weeks maybe and can not complain about. The only thing I don't like is no SD card slot. 1300 for the Ultra yea I couldn't see paying that for it either.
Did he say no edge lighting, there us edge lighting
Funny though I lean more towards this than the Ultra - mostly due to size and the flat screen.
I honestly think if they just gave this 120Hz, it would be an insanely big seller. I think they wanted to push more people to the ultra, but I think most people are actually just turned off by the whole lineup this year. This phone is definitely extremely capable though
I really enjoy my Note 20 and I traded my Note 10 for $650 so good deal. And I do have edge lighting.
How is gaming bro? I'm deciding to get one soon once the price goes down a little. I'm asking because I like to play games a lot.
@@echobird115 what is up man? Gaming is wonderful as long as you can get anyone of the new systems.
@@GamingandfitRN thanks
i got the ultra because i like the cruved edges
For $1000, no thank you but I'm tempted because they are doing a great trade-in deal. I have the Note 9 and if I trade mine in I could get this for $450 but that plastic back and downgrade display is making me pause. Then again if feel like if I bought the Note 20 I would be missing out in the features of the Ultra but like Flossy said it is TGH. Samsung needs to clam down.
Maybe the reason why it’s $1,000 is just on the features and the Note20 Ultra cost more based on the additional features that the note 20 doesn’t have.
Yet it looks worth it in a way for people.
I just bought Note 20 in Indonesia and the price is only $740 plus I got a free Samsung Buds, including type-C headset. Quite a bargain in my opinion.
The 865 plus is only faster in gaming and geaphic intense situations but in most Cases i heard its no different
Most people who don't know what they're looking for in a phone shouldn't even be wasting their money on a flagship. Most people who buy flagships buy flagships because they know what they want in a phone, so for a flagship (and a $1000 Galaxy Note at that) to have these compromises is kinda unforgivable. Such a shame.
Most people I know with glass have cracked them so whats wrong with plastic.
i dont care about the back material because i will just put a case but the biggest drawback is the 60hz im not getting a phone without 120hz cant live without it
What type of watch is that?
I watched this whole video because the guy in the video is super cute. Like I don't even know what I'm watching
Currently priced at $799 and well worth it. Don’t believe the hype. This is a great phone. (Coming from the Note 10+.)
It's note 20 ultra lite...even note 10 lite has glastic instead of plastic...also why punch hole size is bigger in this compared to ultra..also no tpu case for 1000$ ...no extra s tips.. Clearly from tab s7 and note 20 Samsung wants to push it's customers to ultra and + models..
Hey man plz do a review about the Skullcandy Indy fuel true wireless🙏🏽
In some country this phone has 256gb
COVID-19 has probably caused some supply problem with the earbuds for the U.S. We get them here in Australia.
