Why the resistance to using an SD card reader? It's better than using the built in imo. When using the built-in, you have to remove the whole sim tray, using a special SIM tool. This also disconnects your cellular service since it shares the same tray. More wear and tear on the water tight seals etc. As opposed to simply connecting a reader and going.
I'm fine with this👍 Plus it allows me to add more memory to my phone while out on the go. I don't have to pay more to get the device with higher storage. Also, I've never had a problem with the water seals wearing out👍
@@Josh_Quinonez Yeah I'm with you on the other use case of augmenting phone storage. I was sad they dropped adoptable storage, made it less useful.

My teacher had the Note20ultra and switched to the s21ultra. If I were him, I would have stayed with the Note20ultra, because I like the boxy design more and the aspect ratio of the Note is more practical. I use an s20+ and I don't like the aspect ratio too much. In my opinion, the Note has the perfect aspect ratio, especially because I lose less picture with 16:9 videos.

@@Dannyv1987 I understand what your saying, but nowhere in my first comment did I say I had bought both phones. He just assumed I had bought both,without knowing the facts. I see these sort of comments on TH-cam all the time. People spouting off negative comments, without knowing all the facts. Just sets me off when I see those kind of comments. I bought the Note 20 Ultra when it first came out. My daughter knows how much I love phone technology. She knows absolutely nothing about phones. I mentioned that I liked the look of the S21,so she bought it for my birthday. Didn't mean to offend anyone, if so,my apologies.
Yea, I agree... what's the point in having the ability to record in 8k and 4k if you burn through your drive space that quickly. Plus I like having music and movies stored locally instead of having to stream everything....especially if you have a spotty connection.
Always have had the the flagship "S" series phones. Upgrading every few years. Recently picked the Note 20 Ultra over S21 Ultra for many of the same reasons, complete S-pen support (no huge and heavy case to house the pen). Either of these barely fits in a pocket now. The most important is the MicroSD card support. 320Gb of music and photos I have instant access to and 120Gb left to expand into. The 512 GB S21 Ultra is vaporware here in the U.S. and can't be bought.
Here I am 8 months later. I've seen the leaks for the s22 ultra, and I'm not impressed. The s21 ultra feels the same based on using them at the store as the note 20 ultra. The note 20 ultra has the bigger screen and boxy corners which I prefer. The note stores the s pen the s21 ultra doesn't. The only thing is the qhd @ 120hz. I notice 120hz. Qhd I struggle to notice even on my 6.7 inch phone. For me, even just before 2022, it will be the note 20 ultra which I got open box for 660$. Coming in the mail soon. I do understand that the new phones have slight upgrades to everything, but I struggle to notice the difference. The only thing on a phone screen (the most important part to me) that is going to make me want to upgrade will be under the display cameras. I hate punch holes and notches, even though I do admit they just disappear once you're used to your phone.
Great video man and I’m going with the Note!! On a side note (no pun intended) do you really edit your vids on your note? Why wouldn’t you use a computer with a bigger screen and faster processor etc? Do what you do but just curious as to why you would do that? Thanks man!
@@Josh_Quinonez well that's definitely a legit reason for me, haha! I'm impressed at the content that you produce without one. Keep up the great work on your vids!
i have the note 20 ultra. and i just buy the full glue version of the glass screen protector. and these ones have glue all over and you won't have any issues with screen protector flopping off at every bump.
I'm with you on this, a huge Note fan. Currently using my Note 10+, but not sure if I should upgrade or wait for a Note 22??! I'm not a fan of the foldables for basically all the same reasons. Guess I gonna wait it out until next year...
Surely I'm not the only person who finds that huge camera bump on the S21 hideous? It just looks like a bad repair. On the Note, okay, it's too big, but at least it's neat and makes some sense.
Nice content bro, been waiting for new videos from you and thank you for it. Both phones are great and for me, it depends on personal preference. You can never go wrong with either one.
Love the Note 20 Ultra but since I didn't have that I'm going for the S21 Ultra. But here's an interesting idea man, if Samsung isn't sure about the Note line continuing, why not give that boxy design of the Note 20 Ultra to the top phone in the S line up, like a meet you half way kinda thing. So the regular S21 and S21 Plus design but S21 Ultra has more influence from the Note. Also in my opinion the Note 20 Ultra looks a lot better than S21 Ultra. I would honestly stick with that if I had it.
14:13 that's a flat out lie. I upgraded to the S21 Ultra for the fact that the trade in value is so much worse on the Note 20 Ultra making it STILL a more expensive device.
It's actually not a flat-out lie. I got great trade-in deals on both of these devices. The trade-in deals aren't always going to be the same depending on what time you are trading in. But if you trade in at the right time you can get a really good deal. I always post proof on Twitter on how good the deal was that I got👍
You said it, if samsung are not making a new note then the next S ultra phone has to come with the spen inside the phone thats one way I will consider the upgrade
I'm on the fence cannot decide which phone I would rather purchase. I like both phones, but if I had to use it for making youtube videos on my channel. Which phone you think is better? Thanks man. 😊
I just got Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra [Mystic Black]a couple of months ago and I love it ❤. #facts. But I like Mystic Bronze too although Mystic Black goes with all of my outfits. 😁.
I Just got my s21 ultra. I upgraded from one plus 7pro and I happy with this phone, and the reason I upgrade to the s21 ultra was because I was let down from one plus with 9pro and I wanted to go back to the note series, but samsung it's not sure is releasing a note 21 for this year because of chip shorage, so I got the second best samsung phone and the best Android phone in the market in my opinion "S21 ultra"
@@aziaone I haven't experienced any overheating even playing pubg my phone never got seriously hot it was a little bit warm to the touch but nothing that makes you want to return the phone
I'm a note fan all the way and will continue to buy notes but when they start taking out the SD card expansion slot I will not upgrade. I also hate that they keep messing with the storage capacity as the years go by the storage should always be expandable with a high base because apps will continue to take up space as well as pictures/videos. I'm considered a unicorn anytime I go into a phone store for the simple fact that I don't have enough storage 🙃 but the Note will always be my go to so I hope they continue to make it
It's called an external hard drive. You shouldn't keep all of your stuff on a single phone anyway. Anybody that needs more then 512GB on a phone is spending entirely too much time on their device as it is. The Note no longer has anything to differentiate it from the Ultra S series.
@@Remmy0930 I have 3 external hard drives 😂 and I'm not the average person I probably use my phone less than you. I just require additional space and for a phone that cost as much as it does they should keep that option available in my opinion.
The beautiful macro shots you've shown, that's a huge thing probably worth mentioning for many. It could be something that sways people from Note 20U to S21U, and it's the only real thing I think I'd miss out on if I chose Note 20U today....
I have the same note 20 ultra mystic bronze and the mystic bronze galaxy buds live, I got it when it came out, and this phone has never failed me no lagging, does what ever I want it to do, also the 120 hz refresh rate is just insane, plus both of these phones are around the same price, some places sell the note 20 ultra for more than the s21 ultra 😀
How has the battery being on the note 20 ultra for you I had one myself when it first came out but I got rid of it after a couple weeks with the battery being poor I’m using a iPhone 12 Pro Max and really want another note 20 🙃🙃
I like the note20, and the s21s. So I was deciding what phone I wanted to upgrade too. Both in Canada cost roughly $1600+ Which is insane. Until I saw the s20 ultra on sale for $1000 canadian which was half of what it used to be. So I went with the s20u and wow im happy. I watched most of the comparisons between the 3, and for my personal use the pen is useless, and I only ever really take photos so idc about the focusing issues the s20u had. And from what ive used its never not focused so I think they fixed it anyways. Love the phone though, 8-11 hour of screen on time at 120hz, its beautiful.
Ima do.the Samsung trade in for my note 20 ultra mystic white they offer 700 credit for it towards new phone and I want the s21 ultra silver do y think that's a good deal and should I go for it
@@Josh_Quinonez Samsung need to be Samsung and stop trying to be apple. Samsung make fun of apple about taking away headphone Jack. Then they took away the headphone jack and the charger. 🤦♂️
The note has the advantage for me due to mst and sd card support. Also, there is a way to run the note qhd@120hz by setting the resolution to 1439p. Will keep mine a little while longer.
Here in India we r getting Exynos 2100 for S21 Ultra and Exynos 990 forNote 20 Ultra so which I should buy.....though I’m a Note fan and currently using Galaxy Note 9 since 2.5 Yrs and i wanted to upgrade to either of the one but S21 Ultra sports a internal latest Hardware compared to Note 20 ultra and also has the processor Exynos 2100 is way better than Exynos 990 it seems....still which I should buy in India?
On Samsung website (UK), the Note 20 Ultra still costs more than the S21 Ultra. Also with trade-ins, you save more on the S21 than on the Note with the same phone that's being traded. I find this a bit absurd. But yeah with a charger, an S-pen and expandable storage, the Note is the way to go. Great video.
It's about the one year mark at this point - but it was crazy difficult to find the larger internal storage variants of the Note20 Ultra even at the six month mark; the 256GB is an insane rarity, and the 512GB juggernaut is literally a mythical urban legend by now, along the lines of the 128GB Galaxy Note5 during the time of the Galaxy S7 family (including the ill-fated Note7/Note FE). Same exact thing, actually: the biggest badass (512GB Note20 Ultra/128GB Note5) was impossible to find, the middle child (256GB Note20 Ultra/64GB Note5) was difficult to find, and the crappy stock lowest end (128GB Note20 Ultra/32GB Note5) was everywhere like roaches.
I have the note 20 ultra exynos and I get about 6 hours of SOT with very high brightness and a lot of stuff always on, including 120hz. So it lasts me all day. It charges from 0% to 100% in an hour too and I rarely go below 20% so charging and battery is perfect for me. No lag or anything either when I game on it.
I'm a note 20u 5g 512, sd card slot, mystic black, fan with the spen. Heck yea N20 all the way u have made to me the best decision. No sd card and spen not included 😢yea thts a no go for me. This is a note all the hard wear included, Mcguiver would love this phone
@@Remmy0930 that's why u can remove the SD card and put it in any other device . Also why should u have to pay more for cloud service or an ext hard drive after paying that much for that very expensive phone?
@@Remmy0930 me personally no.never lost a phone but I know it could easily happen. But for me my sd card is for music . Just pop it out if one device into another.. I just do do that cloud storage crap.
The S21 Ultra is LITERALLY better in every aspect. The only difference is the fact that the S Pen is integrated into the Note. The external S Pen for the 21 Ultra is 10x more comfortable anyway and feels like an actual pencil. The only people saying they think the Note 20 Ultra is better are those that already bought the Note and can't upgrade to the S21 Ultra. Most of this video is opinion as well, when it come's to the ACTUAL SPECS the S21 Ultra IS better then the Note, it isn't even debatable. With that being said...anybody that owns the Note 20 Ultra is perfectly fine with not upgrading to the S21 Ultra. The Note no longer has anything that differentiates it from the S Ultra series either.
contents you get in the box: Note 20 ultra bigger screen and screen-body ratio: Note 20 ultra expandable storage: Note 20 ultra camera: S21 ultra newer chip: S21 ultra S-pen: Note 20 ultra 4-2 Is also why I went with the note. If you note, you know.
Never had a note before( my sister lives them) but I recently upgraded my s10+ to s21 ultra and good lord it hurts my hands. It is so heavy and bulky. Great phone but I think I will trade it in for the note 20 ultra. Great video thanks for sharing
Really liking the new presentation of your videos! I'm had a Note20 Ultra since launch and still absolutely love it. Even have the Exynos version and have had no issues at all.
Get a table pad or something if you're going to be dropping the phones like that. You're killing me slowly Bruh 😁. Great review. I agree with your choice. I'm a Note user too, and as long as there's a Note option, I would never consider an S series device. You gained a subscriber just for not baiting us and going straight to answering the question. ✌🏿
I wished I would have seen this video before. Can't believe I missed it and I'm always looking forward to your content. Had the Note 20 Ultra and traded it in for the S21 Ultra and now I regret it big time!! Love the boxy design of the Note, plus bigger screen, MST, and micro SD slot!! Sincerely thinking if just selling the S21 Ultra to go back to the Note 20 Ultra since samsung is not making a Note series this year. Also, not sure if in case they do make one next year, if it's actually gonna be a flagship phone since they're focusing too much on foldable phones which I'm not a fan of. Sad times 😢
Is the camera on the note 20 ultra good enough for vlogging and shooting workout videos? I'm trynna to decide, I'm a note user but need a really good video camera.
I am really sad S21U doesn't have SD card slot. so I'm just gonna stick with my Note20U. For an average users Snapdragon 888 won't have big key difference compared to Snapdragon 865 while most users won't notice the speed performance. SD card slot is a must for me because i need to constantly interchange memory card to my laptop because i hates wasting time cleaning phone storage. i had few times mistakenly deleted couple of my videos because i thought i have transferred it to my laptop using wireless connection. Anyone thinking to upgrade their phones i suggest N20U because the price is a lot cheaper and the camera quality still a beast
You don't need to buy an Spen. You don't need to buy a Case to hold an Spen. ITS A S SERIES PHONE WITH SPEN COMPATABILITY NOT A S21 NOTE ULTRA. Obviously if your a Note user and use tons spen features then why even think of S21. I am an S series user and I have been begging samsung to bring Spen support on the S series. Finally they did and we are comparing it to a note?? Regards to the SD card. I carry a 1TB flash drive on my key chain so never had the issue in terms of space. Even my previous phone had total memory of 128gb with an SD card. Never swapped my SD card just used the flash drive
I had the s20 ultra I upgraded to the s21 ultra not really happy I know Samsung cut the price but also alot of features I should have got the note 20 ultra

If I were him, I would have stayed with the Note20ultra, because I like the boxy design more and the aspect ratio of the Note is more practical. I use an s20+ and I don't like the aspect ratio too much. In my opinion, the Note has the perfect aspect ratio, especially because I lose less picture with 16:9 videos.
Well I have note 20 ultra so ain’t about to get s21 ultra and if no note 21 comes I’ll keep note 20 ultra for as long as it’s good then who knows what I’ll get.
Right. Definitely not worth the upgrade
The Note still feels light and kinda hollow for my taste. Coming from an iPhone 12 PM , the S21U feels more premium cause it's heavier lol
Iphone?🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
That would be a hard choice to make. I have both phones,but I'm always drawn back to the Note 20 Ultra. I would have made the same choice.
Plus it comes with an S pen internally
Why do you have both?
@@srbell67 why do you care? One was a gift from my daughter, nosy rosy.
@@howardmackenzie4365 hes not being nosy u said it urself u have both which means u bought both ur one of those that soends 1200 on two phones makes no sense at all but its ur business have note 20 ultra mystic white it has so many features no reason to upgrade
@@Dannyv1987 I understand what your saying, but nowhere in my first comment did I say I had bought both phones. He just assumed I had bought both,without knowing the facts. I see these sort of comments on TH-cam all the time. People spouting off negative comments, without knowing all the facts. Just sets me off when I see those kind of comments. I bought the Note 20 Ultra when it first came out. My daughter knows how much I love phone technology. She knows absolutely nothing about phones. I mentioned that I liked the look of the S21,so she bought it for my birthday. Didn't mean to offend anyone, if so,my apologies.
you are right. missing sd card slot is a big disadvantage.
Yea, I agree... what's the point in having the ability to record in 8k and 4k if you burn through your drive space that quickly. Plus I like having music and movies stored locally instead of having to stream everything....especially if you have a spotty connection.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra thats my favorite
💪💪🔥🔥
Always have had the the flagship "S" series phones. Upgrading every few years. Recently picked the Note 20 Ultra over S21 Ultra for many of the same reasons, complete S-pen support (no huge and heavy case to house the pen). Either of these barely fits in a pocket now. The most important is the MicroSD card support. 320Gb of music and photos I have instant access to and 120Gb left to expand into. The 512 GB S21 Ultra is vaporware here in the U.S. and can't be bought.
Here I am 8 months later. I've seen the leaks for the s22 ultra, and I'm not impressed. The s21 ultra feels the same based on using them at the store as the note 20 ultra. The note 20 ultra has the bigger screen and boxy corners which I prefer. The note stores the s pen the s21 ultra doesn't. The only thing is the qhd @ 120hz. I notice 120hz. Qhd I struggle to notice even on my 6.7 inch phone. For me, even just before 2022, it will be the note 20 ultra which I got open box for 660$. Coming in the mail soon. I do understand that the new phones have slight upgrades to everything, but I struggle to notice the difference. The only thing on a phone screen (the most important part to me) that is going to make me want to upgrade will be under the display cameras. I hate punch holes and notches, even though I do admit they just disappear once you're used to your phone.
I upgraded to the S21 Ultra from the Note 9. It's ok but I really miss my S Pen and I think I'm switching back to the next Note that comes out.
Might not be another note, people are thinking the note 20 ultra was the last.
You know you can use your S Pen with your S21 Ultra right...
@@TheeDevilWearsPrada nowhere near the same as the note 20ultra s pen
@@wakandageorgia973 they say they are coming out with a pen specifically for the 21 ultra later this year, and its supposed to work better.
@@pewpew-ren I know. Hopefully it works the same as the notes spen. But even so you will still need to get that bulky ugly case for it
Great video man and I’m going with the Note!! On a side note (no pun intended) do you really edit your vids on your note? Why wouldn’t you use a computer with a bigger screen and faster processor etc? Do what you do but just curious as to why you would do that? Thanks man!
I don't own a computer. So I do everything on my phone👍
@@Josh_Quinonez well that's definitely a legit reason for me, haha! I'm impressed at the content that you produce without one. Keep up the great work on your vids!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that
@@Josh_Quinonez for sure man!
not only is that lamp ugly, the bulb flickering is annoying as hell
Yea I didn't realize the flickering until after. It doesn't actually flicker. It was the camera. I stopped using it
i have the note 20 ultra. and i just buy the full glue version of the glass screen protector. and these ones have glue all over and you won't have any issues with screen protector flopping off at every bump.
I am happy and satisfied with my beautiful baby Note 20 ultra
Well done bro. I love your analysis
Thanks!
I'm with you on this, a huge Note fan. Currently using my Note 10+, but not sure if I should upgrade or wait for a Note 22??! I'm not a fan of the foldables for basically all the same reasons. Guess I gonna wait it out until next year...
I recall you was on the edge to weep on the spree you broke your note ultra screen 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I couldn't make up my mind so I purchased both of them 🤑👍
Haha Good choice! Lol
I will help you decide which one is better so you can dispose the other one to me... the better is S21. Lmao
wow, what software do you use to edit the videos?
Surely I'm not the only person who finds that huge camera bump on the S21 hideous? It just looks like a bad repair. On the Note, okay, it's too big, but at least it's neat and makes some sense.
how about a link for the wallpaper and icons
Love my Note 20 ultra!
Here here
Nice content bro, been waiting for new videos from you and thank you for it.
Both phones are great and for me, it depends on personal preference. You can never go wrong with either one.
Not just for you but for EVERYONE it's personal preference 😁😁 Note 20ultra all day every day
SD CARD expandable storage is the MAIN ADVANTAGE OF NOTE 20 ULTRA !
S21 ultra is snappy...but a mini heating machine...which always heat 🔥 on normal usage(exynos)
Love the Note 20 Ultra but since I didn't have that I'm going for the S21 Ultra. But here's an interesting idea man, if Samsung isn't sure about the Note line continuing, why not give that boxy design of the Note 20 Ultra to the top phone in the S line up, like a meet you half way kinda thing. So the regular S21 and S21 Plus design but S21 Ultra has more influence from the Note. Also in my opinion the Note 20 Ultra looks a lot better than S21 Ultra. I would honestly stick with that if I had it.
Samsung read this comments
I don't get the color mystic bronze? It looks pink. Can anyone explain? Trying 2 pick between these 2?
It's doesn't look pink in person👍
14:13 that's a flat out lie. I upgraded to the S21 Ultra for the fact that the trade in value is so much worse on the Note 20 Ultra making it STILL a more expensive device.
It's actually not a flat-out lie. I got great trade-in deals on both of these devices. The trade-in deals aren't always going to be the same depending on what time you are trading in. But if you trade in at the right time you can get a really good deal. I always post proof on Twitter on how good the deal was that I got👍
You said it, if samsung are not making a new note then the next S ultra phone has to come with the spen inside the phone thats one way I will consider the upgrade
Nice video the s pan, the card slot and less weight are big factors
I'm on the fence cannot decide which phone I would rather purchase. I like both phones, but if I had to use it for making youtube videos on my channel. Which phone you think is better? Thanks man. 😊
ตัวใหม่ดีกว่าครับ
That square design and little bit of extra width makes a huge difference to me. Spot on comparison!
What would you do
I would
I just got Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra [Mystic Black]a couple of months ago and I love it ❤. #facts. But I like Mystic Bronze too although Mystic Black goes with all of my outfits. 😁.
I Just got my s21 ultra. I upgraded from one plus 7pro and I happy with this phone, and the reason I upgrade to the s21 ultra was because I was let down from one plus with 9pro and I wanted to go back to the note series, but samsung it's not sure is releasing a note 21 for this year because of chip shorage, so I got the second best samsung phone and the best Android phone in the market in my opinion "S21 ultra"
Great choice!!💪💪🔥🔥
Does it still have overheating issues?
@@aziaone I haven't experienced any overheating even playing pubg my phone never got seriously hot it was a little bit warm to the touch but nothing that makes you want to return the phone
@@silent7878 thanks!
Such a good video. This guy is a real PRO ⚡️⚡️
Thanks!!
I'm a note fan all the way and will continue to buy notes but when they start taking out the SD card expansion slot I will not upgrade. I also hate that they keep messing with the storage capacity as the years go by the storage should always be expandable with a high base because apps will continue to take up space as well as pictures/videos. I'm considered a unicorn anytime I go into a phone store for the simple fact that I don't have enough storage 🙃 but the Note will always be my go to so I hope they continue to make it
It's called an external hard drive. You shouldn't keep all of your stuff on a single phone anyway. Anybody that needs more then 512GB on a phone is spending entirely too much time on their device as it is. The Note no longer has anything to differentiate it from the Ultra S series.
@@Remmy0930 I have 3 external hard drives 😂 and I'm not the average person I probably use my phone less than you. I just require additional space and for a phone that cost as much as it does they should keep that option available in my opinion.
@@mickey4416 agreed SD card is a must.
The beautiful macro shots you've shown, that's a huge thing probably worth mentioning for many. It could be something that sways people from Note 20U to S21U, and it's the only real thing I think I'd miss out on if I chose Note 20U today....
👍🏼Awesome and informative video Josh!👍🏼
I have the same note 20 ultra mystic bronze and the mystic bronze galaxy buds live, I got it when it came out, and this phone has never failed me no lagging, does what ever I want it to do, also the 120 hz refresh rate is just insane, plus both of these phones are around the same price, some places sell the note 20 ultra for more than the s21 ultra 😀
Just bought the note 20 ultra black couple days ago after think long and hard about which to get. No regrets.
I got mines a few days ago, and I love it I love the cameras on the phone.
How has the battery being on the note 20 ultra for you I had one myself when it first came out but I got rid of it after a couple weeks with the battery being poor I’m using a iPhone 12 Pro Max and really want another note 20 🙃🙃
I like the note20, and the s21s. So I was deciding what phone I wanted to upgrade too. Both in Canada cost roughly $1600+ Which is insane. Until I saw the s20 ultra on sale for $1000 canadian which was half of what it used to be. So I went with the s20u and wow im happy. I watched most of the comparisons between the 3, and for my personal use the pen is useless, and I only ever really take photos so idc about the focusing issues the s20u had. And from what ive used its never not focused so I think they fixed it anyways. Love the phone though, 8-11 hour of screen on time at 120hz, its beautiful.
@Doug Sawyer yes it was the s20 ultra I literally stated that. But it's been mainly fixed in updates, I've never had issues with mine
Ima do.the Samsung trade in for my note 20 ultra mystic white they offer 700 credit for it towards new phone and I want the s21 ultra silver do y think that's a good deal and should I go for it
🔥 SD card slot 🔥 must have 🔥
The note is a great phone! taking the SD card slot is a bad move. The pen support on S21 ultra doesn't make sense.
Yes I wish they would have kept the SD Card Slot!
@@Josh_Quinonez I wish one plus pay attention. Maybe they should put a SD card slot and 512 GB of memory.
@@Josh_Quinonez Samsung need to be Samsung and stop trying to be apple. Samsung make fun of apple about taking away headphone Jack. Then they took away the headphone jack and the charger. 🤦♂️
The note has the advantage for me due to mst and sd card support. Also, there is a way to run the note qhd@120hz by setting the resolution to 1439p. Will keep mine a little while longer.
How?
@@mozartz73 Google qhd 120hz note 20 ultra. You should see the link to the techeaven website with instructions.
Here in India we r getting Exynos 2100 for S21 Ultra and Exynos 990 forNote 20 Ultra so which I should buy.....though I’m a Note fan and currently using Galaxy Note 9 since 2.5 Yrs and i wanted to upgrade to either of the one but S21 Ultra sports a internal latest Hardware compared to Note 20 ultra and also has the processor Exynos 2100 is way better than Exynos 990 it seems....still which I should buy in India?
Where does the z fold 2 fit in your rotation?
It's mostly a weekend phone right now and days I don't work
@@Josh_Quinonez those are gimmick phones not interested in either one..note 20ultra ✌
Expandable storage and the S-pen is my major reason I still stick to galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
On Samsung website (UK), the Note 20 Ultra still costs more than the S21 Ultra. Also with trade-ins, you save more on the S21 than on the Note with the same phone that's being traded. I find this a bit absurd.
But yeah with a charger, an S-pen and expandable storage, the Note is the way to go.
Great video.
It's about the one year mark at this point - but it was crazy difficult to find the larger internal storage variants of the Note20 Ultra even at the six month mark; the 256GB is an insane rarity, and the 512GB juggernaut is literally a mythical urban legend by now, along the lines of the 128GB Galaxy Note5 during the time of the Galaxy S7 family (including the ill-fated Note7/Note FE). Same exact thing, actually: the biggest badass (512GB Note20 Ultra/128GB Note5) was impossible to find, the middle child (256GB Note20 Ultra/64GB Note5) was difficult to find, and the crappy stock lowest end (128GB Note20 Ultra/32GB Note5) was everywhere like roaches.
I always wanted the Note 2 ultra due to its "looks" but I heard lots of negative stories about the battery life.
I have the note 20 ultra exynos and I get about 6 hours of SOT with very high brightness and a lot of stuff always on, including 120hz. So it lasts me all day. It charges from 0% to 100% in an hour too and I rarely go below 20% so charging and battery is perfect for me. No lag or anything either when I game on it.
what's the wallpaper on the Note 20??
Got it off an app called Wallpix👍
@@Josh_Quinonez Thanks Josh
I'm a note 20u 5g 512, sd card slot, mystic black, fan with the spen. Heck yea N20 all the way u have made to me the best decision. No sd card and spen not included 😢yea thts a no go for me. This is a note all the hard wear included, Mcguiver would love this phone
Just brought the 20 ultra note. My first note.
Awesome!
How do you like it?
I'm stuck on the Fold 2. Want nothing else until the Fold 3.
WISE CHOICE! Samsung is a money GRIPPER!
They are basically the same phone except the s21 ultra has the latest a greatest
@bob loblaw It's called the CLOUD or an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. You shouldn't be storing everything on a single phone anyway.
@@Remmy0930 that's why u can remove the SD card and put it in any other device . Also why should u have to pay more for cloud service or an ext hard drive after paying that much for that very expensive phone?
@@wakandageorgia973 Because it's dumb to keep EVERYTHING on a single device anyway. Haven't you ever lost your phone? Everything gone in an instant.
@@Remmy0930 me personally no.never lost a phone but I know it could easily happen. But for me my sd card is for music . Just pop it out if one device into another.. I just do do that cloud storage crap.
The S21 Ultra is LITERALLY better in every aspect. The only difference is the fact that the S Pen is integrated into the Note. The external S Pen for the 21 Ultra is 10x more comfortable anyway and feels like an actual pencil. The only people saying they think the Note 20 Ultra is better are those that already bought the Note and can't upgrade to the S21 Ultra. Most of this video is opinion as well, when it come's to the ACTUAL SPECS the S21 Ultra IS better then the Note, it isn't even debatable. With that being said...anybody that owns the Note 20 Ultra is perfectly fine with not upgrading to the S21 Ultra. The Note no longer has anything that differentiates it from the S Ultra series either.
Sd card slot, more screen real estate, bluetooth spen. S21U don't even have these. These are plain hard facts!!!
contents you get in the box: Note 20 ultra
bigger screen and screen-body ratio: Note 20 ultra
expandable storage: Note 20 ultra
camera: S21 ultra
newer chip: S21 ultra
S-pen: Note 20 ultra
4-2
Is also why I went with the note.
If you note, you know.
Never had a note before( my sister lives them) but I recently upgraded my s10+ to s21 ultra and good lord it hurts my hands. It is so heavy and bulky. Great phone but I think I will trade it in for the note 20 ultra. Great video thanks for sharing
I picked the S21 ultra because of the design and the better display. My buddy picked the Note 20 ultra because of the SD card slot.
Both great either way👍
I have the s21 and been tempted by the note 20 ultra BUT the curved screen is a deal breaker. I do not want a curved screen.
Really liking the new presentation of your videos! I'm had a Note20 Ultra since launch and still absolutely love it. Even have the Exynos version and have had no issues at all.
Thanks so much!
Let's go, note for the win

Samsung pulled an iphone with the 21 ultra.
Everything separate for some extra bucks!
Get a table pad or something if you're going to be dropping the phones like that. You're killing me slowly Bruh 😁. Great review. I agree with your choice. I'm a Note user too, and as long as there's a Note option, I would never consider an S series device. You gained a subscriber just for not baiting us and going straight to answering the question. ✌🏿
Nah forget the table pad. I like living on the edge!😂 Thanks for watching!
Looking the video purely because he told us in the beginning. Don't bait me. I'm an intelligent human. Therefore just decided to subscribe too.
Thanks!
I have the Note 20 Ultra, same color as yours, but the back feels like plastic. It's supposed to be glass, yes? And my battery life is terrible...
I wished I would have seen this video before. Can't believe I missed it and I'm always looking forward to your content. Had the Note 20 Ultra and traded it in for the S21 Ultra and now I regret it big time!! Love the boxy design of the Note, plus bigger screen, MST, and micro SD slot!! Sincerely thinking if just selling the S21 Ultra to go back to the Note 20 Ultra since samsung is not making a Note series this year. Also, not sure if in case they do make one next year, if it's actually gonna be a flagship phone since they're focusing too much on foldable phones which I'm not a fan of. Sad times 😢
me too :(
Is the camera on the note 20 ultra good enough for vlogging and shooting workout videos? I'm trynna to decide, I'm a note user but need a really good video camera.
What software do you use to edit your videos on the note 20?
Right here👍

Is it worrh to buy in 2022
Just by the title alone, we knew the answer...
Lol
I am really sad S21U doesn't have SD card slot. so I'm just gonna stick with my Note20U. For an average users Snapdragon 888 won't have big key difference compared to Snapdragon 865 while most users won't notice the speed performance. SD card slot is a must for me because i need to constantly interchange memory card to my laptop because i hates wasting time cleaning phone storage. i had few times mistakenly deleted couple of my videos because i thought i have transferred it to my laptop using wireless connection. Anyone thinking to upgrade their phones i suggest N20U because the price is a lot cheaper and the camera quality still a beast
Jesus.. I pick the Galaxy S21 ultra though cuz of the better battery life and a refinement in performance..
You don't need to buy an Spen. You don't need to buy a Case to hold an Spen. ITS A S SERIES PHONE WITH SPEN COMPATABILITY NOT A S21 NOTE ULTRA.
Obviously if your a Note user and use tons spen features then why even think of S21.
I am an S series user and I have been begging samsung to bring Spen support on the S series. Finally they did and we are comparing it to a note??
Regards to the SD card. I carry a 1TB flash drive on my key chain so never had the issue in terms of space. Even my previous phone had total memory of 128gb with an SD card. Never swapped my SD card just used the flash drive
I had the s20 ultra I upgraded to the s21 ultra not really happy I know Samsung cut the price but also alot of features I should have got the note 20 ultra
Subscribing man because you told me what you liked from the beginning
Welcome to the fam!
Thumbs up for getting straight to the point.
