Still rocking my Note 20 Ultra 512 gb with 1 tb micro sd card. I’m not ready to give up this phone yet. I love this phone! Honestly, I was considering upgrading to the S24 Ultra, but for me, the exemption of the micro sd card expansion is a deal breaker. The 1 tb version is just too expensive. Maybe I’ll upgrade to the S25 Ultra. We shall see. Great video as always. God bless you and keep up the awesome work that you are doing!
Watching this on my Note 20 Ultra, best phone I have ever had over the years, most other phones, I upgraded 1 year later. This one, I am happy to keep going for atleast another 2 years. Definitely aged gracefully
Only reason I upgraded is because my battery was expanding. I loved the Note 20, but this 24 is amazing! The display is better. I would still have kept my Note, but this upgrade is worth it. Only had the Ultra for 3 days
@@sankalppatil4812 For me it's functionality & SD card that's a priority. You won't notice any speed differences between the 2 chips. The 120 framerate for highest resolution is the s21Ultra.

@@sankalppatil4812 you can use S pen with S21 Ultra, but you need a special case that can hold the pen, cause there is no place for the pen in the phone (S21U) itself. But the tradeoff is that S21 Ultra is also narrower for the same reason - easier to hold if you don't have big hands.

Just bought a great condition refurb note 20 ultra AND s20 plus -both for $600 Bought two Samsung 1TB SD cards, $16 each at Walmart Don't fall for the hype folks, no need to upgrade every year A phenomenal phone is a phenomenal phone
Was thinking about upgrading my Note20U to the S24U after i saw Samsung had a trade-in bonus right now. Comparing tech specs though, I really wasn't impressed with the difference between Samsung's new flagship phone and my 4 year old model. Your video pretty much cemented that for me. Some aspects of the 24 are definitely better, but most improvements are so slight that the cost of the "upgrade" seems ridiculous even with the $550 trade bump right now. It does suck not getting the OS updates anymore but I'll be sitting on the Note20U until there's a significant improvement in the Galaxy S line.
@@Dontrecommendthischannel134 honestly? Not as bad as I thought it would be. The back was replaced and the device looked brand new. I think they may have possibly put a new battery in.
In asian countries Samsung phones have a very good price . we can get Note20ultra for 290-350$ S21ultra370-430$ S22ultra 490-540$ S23ultra750-860$ Because of people giving value to the iPhone too much
Excellent comparison and HONEST. I the Note20 and it's such a great phone. I am now on the fence in not trading it in as it is unlocked and still has a sim card and a micro card. Just maybe buy the s24 ultra outright and still keep my baby as back up.
My take is that if you have the funds to get the latest device, then by all means do that... But as regards display (color vibrancy, brightness, and resolution), everyday camera use, running 99% of apps, and overall functionality, there's really nothing that the Note 20 Ultra can't do.... So anyone using it already or considering upgrading from maybe another lower Android and is on a budget, you get everything on the Note 20 Ultra. As for the AI features, we all know that apps can take care of these things. I do more WhatsApp calls than regular phone calls and it's only a matter of time that WhatsApp adds all these real-time translation services. Google lens is already taking giant leaps in the picture scanning department. So yeah, I believe if money wasn't a problem, we would all go for the latest, but if you're on a budget, don't stress yourself. Get the Note 20 Ultra.
Wow! What an amazing Note 20 Ultra 5G, a little difference compared to S24 Ultra. As you can see and notice that the Note 20 Ultra is a lot better than the S24 Ultra, based on the picture shown here. Its not a matter of no. of migapixel but how the picture looks dramatically and vibrantly. It can figjht with the other new model today. Im proud that I have Note 20 Ultra 5G, the beast phone not only in performance but in photography as well!!!
The note is fkn amazing holy fkn shit balls. Maybe samsung should bring swapabble battery so when the battery dies we can swap it easy. And it will last a lifetime
Unfortunately that's counterintuitive for Samsung as we'd never buy another new phone. That's why they did away with SD card expansion slot...so they can sell us cloud space.
I love my note 20 ultra It has 128 internal Plus a half a terabyte SD card But there are times where my phone does run slow even when I do clear a lot of the memory out, so I have been considering looking at the s23ultra as a possible daily driver and then having my note20 ultra like a secondary phone If the price is right then I'll definitely get a used one within good condition My note20 ultra way too good not to trade in
I was so ready to buy the S24 Ultra. I literally was in the store, so excited, ready to $1,500 ($1,500!) for the 512gb. Found out no Micro SD card. Literally walked out the store bought another refurb Note 20 Ultra. Thats no Micro SD. No headphone jack. No swappable battery (yet the phone has support for 7 years that it will never live long enough to see). I'm supposed to get excited about what exactly? I'm shelling out $1500 for a phone without the basics I need. So, $1500 to have only a slightly better camera, speakers, and software features? Every year its the same upgrades to to same features, and nothing actually new or interesting.
Cool video. I had a Note20Ultra for over 6 months, now I switched to S23Ultra, which is faster, yes, but like in this video, not much. Also where can I get the Psycho Type Beat video? I like it
The note 20 ultra has been the best for years. The only thing that is really an up grade are the speakers and cameras. It has language translation while on a call which is really cool.
Excellent side-by-side video just what I was looking for I don't like the flat screen and I remember I felt the same way for the curve that I've had the curve for so long now with my Note 20 Ultra now I'm really confused and wondering should I just go to the s23 ultra from my Note 20 Ultra I hate the switch phones and I used to love it but I have so many cases I like dressy and Casual phone cases😢🤷🏽♀️
Two reasons I bought a Note 20 Ultra over the S24 Ultra in 2024: 1.) Cheaper. Much cheaper. For TH-cam, Facebook, web browsing, calling, texting, it's not worse than the S24 Ultra. Battery life is similar but a little bit worse. I don't game on my phone at all so the upgraded internal hardware means nothing. The camera is a bit better on the S24 Ultra, but the Note 20 Ultra camera is fine. The screen is just as good and is also 0.1" larger. It's basically a slightly slower version of the S24 Ultra for 1/3 the price. 2.) MicroSD card support. The 128GB Note 20 Ultra can be upgraded to any available MicroSD size, up to 1.5TB at the moment. If you take a lot of pictures/video with your phone, having a MicroSD that can be pulled out, backed up to your computer and popped back in completely empty is incredible. You can also just pull it out, put an empty or larger MicroSD in it and just be done with it There are a lot more reasons I went with the note with the main being the screen size. I have huge ass hands so it feels like a "normal" phone to me. I don't struggle to hold it at all and the viewing experience for videos is the best I've ever had on a phone. My S6 Edge+ was close to this but the Note 20 Ultra is unbeatable. Until Samsung makes newer phones with a MicroSD slot, I will continue to use my Note 20 Ultra. Hopefully it will last me at least 3-4 more years so that I have time to save for a nice phone. The next flagship Samsung releases with a MicroSD slot will be the next phone I buy but I refuse to buy a phone without a MicroSD slot. I'm not paying 10x the price of the lowest tier phone for 512GB of storage when I can buy a 512GB MicroSD for $40 on Amazon and slap it in a cheaper model.
@cobaltblue5523 I got a s21 ultra. The note 20 ultra is nice but software support was ending. I got the s21ultra from Amazon renewed. It looked and worked like new but dust was on my front facing camera. Now I have a pre owned fold 4 but I miss my ultra cameras
I've still got hold of my Note 20 Ultra but I am using the S24 Ultra as my main phone now. The biggest issue I've had with the Note 20 Ultra was the battery drainage. Because I am in the UK we have the exynos chip which honestly isn't great. Battery drains quite quickly and doesn't last all day so I'm basically having to put the Note 20 Ultra in charge half way through the day and performance was quite bad with the exynos chip.
Hi. Have you put a new bat Tery in the note 20 ultra or is it the original battery? Because a new one could make the battery last longer. Unless the battery is new and still have 6 hours screen time
Nice video! I have the Samsung Note 20 ultra and I was thinking about upgrading to the S24, but idk, Note 20 ultra is still to good for day-to-day usage... I have this smartphone for almost 3 years now and it's still the same, the pen still working exactly the same as when I bought it, the camera still suprises me when I shot photos with a good light, battery is still good;
About the display being less vivid on the s224 ultra, it's actually a bug. The vivid mode doesn't work yet compared to the natural mode. Samsung are expected to fix that on the next update.
Thank you for this video. I love my S Note 20 Ultra, it's not much different from the modern phones, only reason why I would want of the new phones is for the better camera. Note S 20 Ultra is still a big beast, I think they should turn it into a flagship phone like the A's or M series and make more of them. It's a great phone, sound and all. It does feel a bit vintage, but it's great for everyday use.
1 thing note is that the vibrant/vivid setting on the s24 ultra isn't actually working at the moment. Future updates should fix that, but for now, that's the reason it looks more vivid on the note 20 ultra
Has this been resolved? Because if the stores are using older, non-updated s24's, then it's definitely showing and it's staying my hand for not upgrading. I can't stand the fact my Note has better display than the s24 Ultra
The Note 20 Ultra has MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) too for those times you go into a store that STILL has no NFC credit card readers. I still use it to this day, at least half a dozen times this year.
I have the note 10 lite and the note 20 ultra (sorry, can't go from 6.9" to 6.8" yep....I'm picky), 20u is realy an amazing phone and fir now im not upgrading as i get all what i need from my 20u. NTW, love your channel❤.
I kept my note20U. I still love it. I have S23U, too. The note has better animation. My lockscreen is incredible cant duplicate it on S23U. I dont know why.
I have not seen any phone that will justify the price to replace my Note 20 Ultra 5G. My pictures look as good as any, the SD Card holds my 4k photos with lots of Gigs to spare.
3:03 Me Shop Events slightly vibrant on Note 20 Ultra. Love the flat wider display on S24 Ultra. Vivid mode colors will be fixed on s24 ultra soon. 12:20 Whats wrong Note 20 Ultra ? If possible could do a hdr, dolby vision sample test on vlc or samsung video player ? I could give you video sample.
I got the exynos of the note 20 ultra and I must say it's hot but its really great, the battery does last and it takes really good pictures and its well on optimised, the animations are smooth, it's just the temperature hotness that's the issue..
From my understanding, the s24 Ultra uses similar sensors with the Note 20U but of course minor improvements. Overall the S24 is sharper in images and has better night time pictures. It's rumored that Samsung will use Sony sensors next year. Sony has been well known for their great camera sensor and tech. Overall, I love my Note 20U but it might be getting long in the tooth. I only have one more year of security patches. If it weren't for the battery and great trade in/preorder deal, I would have been happy to keep this phone.
I miss how Crisp the Colors were. S24Ultra is lacking in Color Vibrance, Crisp lines aswell. Brightness is good but I'll probably upgrade as soon as they bring the Screen quality back. It's good for now though.
I upgraded from my note 8 to 20 ultra 400 bucks on Amazon. Great upgrade for me. My note 8s battery life gotten a bit bad and the software support is old. I wanted to get s23 ultra but I hated that it didn't have a SD card slot. I don't want to throw away my sd card.
I love your content, however please set your phones to the same wallpaper when you are making a comparison...it makes it easier to really spot the differences
This is a great video. Many thanks. I have an S20 Note Ultra and am considering upgrades as my battery life has deteriorated a lot, but I can still get a decent trade-in price. The thing that puts me off the S24 Ultra is the weight. The S20 was pretty heavy, but the S24 is another 25 grams, which I will definitely feel. OnePlus 12 has caught my eye as an alternative.
I had the note 20 ultra and upgraded to the s24 ultra. I fought till the end but it was getting burned out. I like the s24 but not having an SD card knocks it down a peg.
Just upgraded from a note 20 ultra. The photos, videos, app speed etc are still fine for the majority of users on the note 20 ultra. The problem is the battery life, especially when paired with other devices. I had to charge it multiple times a day. The galaxy fold 4 and 5 is where I was really blown away by their functionality and beauty. In need an integrated spen and be more as sturdy before I will buy one.
Thank you for this comparison. This helped me make my decision regarding upgrading from my Note 20 Ultra. I think I'm going to hold out and hopefully they return to SD card slots
Also watching on my Note 20 Ultra, was looking to upgrade to an S24 Ultra but if thats all it has to offer then i happy to keep my Note for a little longer 🫡
Unfortunately batteries can't outrun father time. That's one reason I'm trading in my Note 20U for the s24U. I love the Note 20U but with time running out on the battery and the security patches. It was time to retire my Note 20U.
@@Nfs-HP-Enjoyer Thanks. Maybe it's just me, it didn't feel like a large upgrade. Smartphones have gotten so good that most people won't feel the difference. Sure there are faster benchmarks but overall the s24 U has the same amount of RAM. The Note 20 U is still a beast. There was a jump in the battery life for me.
@@Nfs-HP-Enjoyer It could just be me, new phones or updates don't excite me any more. Most of the yearly updates are incremental. I don't pixel peep, do camera tests, or play the latest games. Did you through the same upgrade cycle? from Note 20U to s24U?
It can be, I had mine done at batteries plus but a warning I was unaware of, you'll lose the IP rating as they do not have a way to put it back together with it retaining it's waterproof. Iirc I fix it or something like that can do it properly.
I just upgraded from the Note 20 ultra to the s24 ultra I'm not really seeing that big of a difference honestly I would have stayed with the Note 20 ultra if they would have kept supporting the software or the only reason I'll upgraded is because no more Android versions will be getting on there since the new one supports 7 years I don't see myself upgrading for a really long time

Until Samsung makes newer phones with a MicroSD slot, I will continue to use my Note 20 Ultra. Hopefully it will last me at least 3-4 more years so that I have time to save for a nice phone. The next flagship Samsung releases with a MicroSD slot will be the next phone I buy but I refuse to buy a phone without a MicroSD slot. I'm not paying 10x the price of the lowest tier phone for 512GB of storage when I can buy a 512GB MicroSD for $40 on Amazon and slap it in a cheaper model.
The battery life definitly isn't similar
My note 20u battery lasts as long as my note 24u. I heard most people say it doesn't not though.i took decent care of my battery though.
@Chris-p9z I upgraded from my s20 ultra and the battery is definitly better on my s24u
Im considering upgraded my s9+ looking at both of these and a couple in between
What did you get
@cobaltblue5523 I got a s21 ultra. The note 20 ultra is nice but software support was ending. I got the s21ultra from Amazon renewed. It looked and worked like new but dust was on my front facing camera. Now I have a pre owned fold 4 but I miss my ultra cameras
@@curbsidetech damn , I wanted to get a fold but I was worried that it would break easy how is the battery life
@cobaltblue5523 battery is better then expected. I do have chargers all around plus I use android auto. I normally get a whole day of use.
@@curbsidetech awesome how many hours are you getting?
Note20 ultra has bixby vision. Similar to circle to search.
I've still got hold of my Note 20 Ultra but I am using the S24 Ultra as my main phone now. The biggest issue I've had with the Note 20 Ultra was the battery drainage. Because I am in the UK we have the exynos chip which honestly isn't great. Battery drains quite quickly and doesn't last all day so I'm basically having to put the Note 20 Ultra in charge half way through the day and performance was quite bad with the exynos chip.
Absolutely LOVE my Note 20 ultra and don't see any reason to upgrade for at least another 2 or 3 years also sd card support is another plus.
I just upgraded from a note 9 to a note 20 ultra and im happy,.. ill upgrade to 25 or somethin in the future
Great comparison. Was leaning towards upgrading from the note 20 ultra but i think ill wait a year now 🙏💯
These look exactly the same to me. I just got a note 20 ultra brand new for 319 total including tax and I love it.
Hi. Have you put a new bat
Tery in the note 20 ultra or is it the original battery? Because a new one could make the battery last longer. Unless the battery is new and still have 6 hours screen time
Note 20 still a great phone,most people upgrade every year for trends of having the latest device,I'm still keeping mine,maybe upgrading to s25
Note 20 ultra was ahead of its time. Its still matching up with the big dogs.
Nice video!
I have the Samsung Note 20 ultra and I was thinking about upgrading to the S24, but idk, Note 20 ultra is still to good for day-to-day usage... I have this smartphone for almost 3 years now and it's still the same, the pen still working exactly the same as when I bought it, the camera still suprises me when I shot photos with a good light, battery is still good;
About the display being less vivid on the s224 ultra, it's actually a bug. The vivid mode doesn't work yet compared to the natural mode. Samsung are expected to fix that on the next update.
This is what I want to hear! note20 ultra in my hands after rocking note9 for years!
Thank you for this video. I love my S Note 20 Ultra, it's not much different from the modern phones, only reason why I would want of the new phones is for the better camera. Note S 20 Ultra is still a big beast, I think they should turn it into a flagship phone like the A's or M series and make more of them. It's a great phone, sound and all. It does feel a bit vintage, but it's great for everyday use.
1 thing note is that the vibrant/vivid setting on the s24 ultra isn't actually working at the moment. Future updates should fix that, but for now, that's the reason it looks more vivid on the note 20 ultra
Has this been resolved? Because if the stores are using older, non-updated s24's, then it's definitely showing and it's staying my hand for not upgrading. I can't stand the fact my Note has better display than the s24 Ultra
The Note 20 Ultra has MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) too for those times you go into a store that STILL has no NFC credit card readers. I still use it to this day, at least half a dozen times this year.
Great Presentation my G 🔥🔥🔥
Wow we live in a time were the upgrades have gotten very small over the years. I liked a few pics even more on the good old s20 Ultra.
Yea it's like updates now adays
I have the note 10 lite and the note 20 ultra (sorry, can't go from 6.9" to 6.8" yep....I'm picky), 20u is realy an amazing phone and fir now im not upgrading as i get all what i need from my 20u.
NTW, love your channel❤.
I kept my note20U. I still love it. I have S23U, too. The note has better animation. My lockscreen is incredible cant duplicate it on S23U. I dont know why.
I have not seen any phone that will justify the price to replace my Note 20 Ultra 5G. My pictures look as good as any, the SD Card holds my 4k photos with lots of Gigs to spare.
3:03 Me Shop Events slightly vibrant on Note 20 Ultra. Love the flat wider display on S24 Ultra. Vivid mode colors will be fixed on s24 ultra soon.
12:20 Whats wrong Note 20 Ultra ?
If possible could do a hdr, dolby vision sample test on vlc or samsung video player ? I could give you video sample.
Nice work matty😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Note 20 was a great phone. Still holds it's on. So much for isheep saying Samsung slow down over time. The note 10 plus even still works great
The multitasking will make a huge difference.
3:25 I think it's due to the antireflective coating that is causing the colors to pop less on the S24U.
I got the exynos of the note 20 ultra and I must say it's hot but its really great, the battery does last and it takes really good pictures and its well on optimised, the animations are smooth, it's just the temperature hotness that's the issue..
From my understanding, the s24 Ultra uses similar sensors with the Note 20U but of course minor improvements. Overall the S24 is sharper in images and has better night time pictures. It's rumored that Samsung will use Sony sensors next year. Sony has been well known for their great camera sensor and tech. Overall, I love my Note 20U but it might be getting long in the tooth. I only have one more year of security patches. If it weren't for the battery and great trade in/preorder deal, I would have been happy to keep this phone.
I was thinking about upgrading, and this video REALLY helped me know the important details! Thank you!!
Watching on a Note 20 Ultra
great comparison love the video note has the better screen 24 has better camera at range
You have to actually go outside in bright sunlight to appreciate the difference between S24 Ultra and Note 20.
I miss how Crisp the Colors were. S24Ultra is lacking in Color Vibrance, Crisp lines aswell. Brightness is good but I'll probably upgrade as soon as they bring the Screen quality back. It's good for now though.
Watching from my Note 8. Preparing to get the Note 20.
I upgraded from my note 8 to 20 ultra 400 bucks on Amazon. Great upgrade for me. My note 8s battery life gotten a bit bad and the software support is old. I wanted to get s23 ultra but I hated that it didn't have a SD card slot. I don't want to throw away my sd card.
How did u get your icons to look like that?
I just made the switch from the note 20 ultra to the s24 ultra. Lets see how this goes. Mine comes in around the 12th of this month.
how is it now ?
When you list features on both please put up a visual list comparison. Thanks for the vid.
5:40 benchmarks
was this before or after the update?
I love your content, however please set your phones to the same wallpaper when you are making a comparison...it makes it easier to really spot the differences
I was about to upgrade my note 20 ultra to the s24 ultra, but considering this I think I'll keep the old one and reevaluate when the s25 comes out.
The only gripes I have ever had with my Note 20 is the lack of AUX and the camera loses its quality over time bc of the glass covering all the lenses
Would you recommend flashing a android 14 custom rom on the note 20 ultra?
not for me....to buggy.
This is a great video. Many thanks. I have an S20 Note Ultra and am considering upgrades as my battery life has deteriorated a lot, but I can still get a decent trade-in price. The thing that puts me off the S24 Ultra is the weight. The S20 was pretty heavy, but the S24 is another 25 grams, which I will definitely feel. OnePlus 12 has caught my eye as an alternative.
What's the chance of getting green line if i get a 2nd hand note 20 ultra?
I have the s10 and haven't gotten it . What causes it
I had the note 20 ultra and upgraded to the s24 ultra. I fought till the end but it was getting burned out. I like the s24 but not having an SD card knocks it down a peg.
Screen fix soon..and developersettings contrast juu fix it little.. animations is 6.1 very next level than even S23 U amazing change smoothness.
Just upgraded from a note 20 ultra. The photos, videos, app speed etc are still fine for the majority of users on the note 20 ultra. The problem is the battery life, especially when paired with other devices. I had to charge it multiple times a day. The galaxy fold 4 and 5 is where I was really blown away by their functionality and beauty. In need an integrated spen and be more as sturdy before I will buy one.
why no make camera not show up like fold has
Thank you for this comparison. This helped me make my decision regarding upgrading from my Note 20 Ultra. I think I'm going to hold out and hopefully they return to SD card slots
Great choice😮 reasonable 😅😅
I want to upgrade my phone (currently using Samsung Galaxy Note 8) which 1 should I choose : Note 20 Ultra (Exynos) or S23 FE 🤔🤔🤔
Nah that screen size I can definitely tell 😂😂😂 note 20 ultra is still rocking
How do you get these phones
Also watching on my Note 20 Ultra, was looking to upgrade to an S24 Ultra but if thats all it has to offer then i happy to keep my Note for a little longer 🫡
Not a much difference though, I prefer to keep my note 20 ultra 😊. Thanks for your honest review
You won't notice a difference unless you actually use it
Battery,one big issue for older ones
Unfortunately batteries can't outrun father time. That's one reason I'm trading in my Note 20U for the s24U. I love the Note 20U but with time running out on the battery and the security patches. It was time to retire my Note 20U.
@@peterparker2068
That's a big upgrade dude, enjoy your phone
@@Nfs-HP-Enjoyer Thanks. Maybe it's just me, it didn't feel like a large upgrade. Smartphones have gotten so good that most people won't feel the difference. Sure there are faster benchmarks but overall the s24 U has the same amount of RAM. The Note 20 U is still a beast. There was a jump in the battery life for me.
@peterparker2068
Well it's a samsung phone, you wouldn't expect this
@@Nfs-HP-Enjoyer It could just be me, new phones or updates don't excite me any more. Most of the yearly updates are incremental. I don't pixel peep, do camera tests, or play the latest games. Did you through the same upgrade cycle? from Note 20U to s24U?
Great vid , my note charging port lost its features so I'm contemplating on switching but after this vid I might just have it fixed ( if it can be)
It can be, I had mine done at batteries plus but a warning I was unaware of, you'll lose the IP rating as they do not have a way to put it back together with it retaining it's waterproof. Iirc I fix it or something like that can do it properly.
Mathew you should start back your 5 reasons why you should buy (this phone) series
good idea
Thanks. I really don't want to upgrade but unfortunately, for work apps, we now have to have Android 14.
I just upgraded from the Note 20 ultra to the s24 ultra I'm not really seeing that big of a difference honestly I would have stayed with the Note 20 ultra if they would have kept supporting the software or the only reason I'll upgraded is because no more Android versions will be getting on there since the new one supports 7 years I don't see myself upgrading for a really long time
This is why I'm considering upgrading. Nervous about the note losing support
Great review and reviewer, it is excellent that you are comparing speakers. Please compare S24 ultra and S23 ultra if you have
I traded my s23 ultra unfortunately to cut the cost.
The SD card situation is what is stopping me upgrading from my s20 Ultra
We are having the same problem 😊
I've been looking for this review since my note20ultra broke. My choice was to try to get my 20ultra fixed or upgrade.
I just upgraded
Samsung put out a statement saying they are aware of the vivid colors not working so they are going to fix it with an update
Future is the fold unit. Ditch the candy bar. Worth the extra coin.
Nope the folds are too fragile, slower charging, no spen, and smaller battery
