The review is really detailed and useful. I agree with other earlier comments that this is the best samsung note 20 ultra review I have seen so far :) Personally, I think that this should be the way to review a phone especially its camera features i.e what are the features? where are they available? Their limitation etc... rather than just reading what written in the spec that the phone has 3 super high quality lens, then conclude its performance against the others, while most of the time, the lens are only accessible on the auto mode :).
Great comparison at 11:20. I always got an impression that Filmic Pro was an ultimate solution for movie makers, but perhaps it is the situation taking place when we're discussing iPhones though?
I've been through so many videos trying to find information about the camera on this phone! You really answered all my questions and gave some great tips for those of us new to videography and camera work - thank you!
Man thank you, this was so useful. I had questions, I didn't even know I have, about HDR and Dolby Vision as well as Filmic Pro thank you for answering the questions I didn't know I have had lol. This is a bit of a bummer. I would imagine they should let us have at least two basic controls in HDR, one over shutter and one over which lens we wanna use. Pretty useless selling us a phone with so many cameras, of which only one gives us HDR. I hope they fix this with S21 Ultra. Right now this is why mobile film making promotion is so close to push out DSLR yet so far from coming even close. Even though HDR+ and Dolby vision in such a small factor are mind blowing.
I've been struggling with this the past few days, without really understanding what Samsung was doing. Now I know, I'll do some more informed testing. For my "just walking around" vlogging I think Auto will me my choice. Thanks for presenting this so clearly.
Simon, EXCELLENT presentation my friend! Super great how you showed the "pros and cons" regarding the Samsung native camera app vs 3rd party. The HDR10+ produces STUNNING color and detail! WOW!!!! Just curious, any thought on presenting how McPro24FPS works with your new Note20 Ultra?? Excellent as always! Patrick
Your channel is so fantastic I treated myself to a Note20 Ultra in the sales. 😊 And that's an upgrade from a 5 year old iPhone 6s! Wanted to learn how to take better photos and vids, and I've been mucking about with it using your tips as inspo over the past week. Best camera features: Using the sPen as remote shutter button The green focus outlining Bluetooth and USB audio input options All those frame rates, dimensions and resolutions! Bloody massive screen Improvement needed: No wide angle/telephoto lens in Pro mode No front facing camera in Pro mode No microphone options for the above No headphone jack (need a dual adapter to charge the phone and use a external mic at the same time) Not being able to tell if the camera is rolling if you're in front of the camera and used the sPen as the shutter button. Also, there are NO filter adapters on the market that cover all 3 lens simultaneously. If you know of one, do let me know!
@@SiHorrocks The one sold by Motion is actually the Ulanzi U-filter which I bought (thankfully for only a fiver). Doesn't fit over the camera bump at all, and even with a phone case it lets light in through the side. Glad I didn't buy any filters first!
Hello Simon, your channel is great and definitely needs more subscribers. It's really quality content you offer. I am also owner of a Note 20 ultra and I am torn between using the Galaxy app and Filmic pro. In the most cases I'd use Filmic pro, because of the control. I like the Note 20 ultra but it is impossible to understand that there is no access to the tele or ultra wide lens. Do you think, that it's just the software and it can be fixed? I use the tele 58mm from Moment and 18 mm lens with VND Filter on the main camera.
Thank you! I know the Xperia phones with Cinema Pro app can access all the lenses. So there's no reason why Samsung phones can't. Perhaps Samsung don't see enough value in developing the pro app. They only recently reinstated it
@@SiHorrocks Thank you very much for your fast reply. I will try to contact Samsung for further information concerning the non accessibility of the tele and ultra wide in pro mode and ask them if there is any future update planned to solve this problem. My next mobile phone could be Sony although I am using Samsung devices since 10 years or even longer. Simon, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yeah wow, holy crap what an insane video review. I use one these devices as my secondary for the camera and multi-media outside of the use of my flip phone.. You're insane! I've got to subscribe off of this level of effort and talent alone!
In the video footage I've seen from your videos. You have such beautiful landscape, in your country. I'm now living in Las Vegas, and I sure do miss that. With that being said I wish you would create a few short films, showing off those beautiful filming locations, fusing light and darkness to accent your story. Tell your story ideal in any genre you desire. It's just a thought, I do enjoy your videos...
Switzerland is beautiful. Although I come from London, England. The landscape here is definitely inspiring for me as a filmmaker. Hopefully I'll get to shoot a narrative film here one day. Thanks for watching Jeff!
most Europeans speak English, especially younger generations. Here they speak Swiss German, which is a dialect, but write to each other in regular German - so that's a bit confusing. Andrea has started making Swiss German learning videos for TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/L_0YbBOKb6g/w-d-xo.html We made this video together in Zurich (Switzerland): th-cam.com/video/BWfRoOQAtXw/w-d-xo.html
That's a cool video with the children and it looks like they enjoyed the experience. So that was Zurich, is it hard to film there? I've seen that band and video before, I watch a lot of German music videos, and Voice of Germany. My into the band Rammstein since seeing them in the movie XXX. I have been a fan of Nina from the 1980s. When I was a kid I listen to German polka music. My great-grandparents on my father's side came from Stuttgart, however they had homes in Berlin, and also Bavaria. Then they moved to America in late 1920s, lived in New York City. They lost there business and money due to hatred during the 1930s. Then they moved to upper state New York, in a small German town. They all moved to California in the late 1950s to work in Hollywood. My father didn't like the entertainment industry, so he described to work for the Los Angeles County as a truck driver. When I would go over to my grandparents house they would have all these interesting people that worked at Disney as cartoonist or even voice overs. Others where small time actors of the time. On my mother's side my great-grand uncle was a limo driver for Hollywood celebrities and Studio owners from the 1920s to late 1930s. He was good friends with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Jack Warner from Warner Brothers. When I was a kid it was a lot of fun hearing all the stories of the days of Hollywood. That's why the call it the golden days of Hollywood, today it's a shit hole... In a few years I'm planning to go to Europe to enjoy my retirement. I want to go to Germany, Switzerland, and visit a few friends in England, Scotland and Ireland. My the way, what is your name? Thank you for the information about the languages of Switzerland. And the valuable information from your TH-cam channel. Good day...
@@SiHorrocks Here is a link to my. Very old production company demo reel: th-cam.com/video/KqnolWxSbHA/w-d-xo.html It's from the 1990s, I don't have any of my reels from the 1980s. I even lost all my stuff in 2014, after getting sick. I was looking for work in January 2014 and then I got sick. It almost killed me, I was in a coma for 43 days, in the hospital for six months, and I was paralyzed from the neck down after coming out of my coma. I proof all of doctors wrong that said I would never walk again. Today I have neuropathy in both my feet and legs, but I'm still putting one foot in front of the other. I learned you can survive after total Destruction of my former life. I lost everything, my business, my home, and all my money. That's Life! You can give up or you can fight to make your life better then you ever dreamed. I was sitting in my old production van, I was living out of it. I had my life, my wheelchair in the back of my van, and a few $. I cried like a little girl, and then I decided to start the engine and point it to Las Vegas to be with my family. It was in 2015 the goal was to start a business in 2020 then the virus hit. In 2021 I'm starting a business in Utah to promote filming in Utah. Then I'm going to start making short films again. I have to move forward to bet the clock, I got a second chance at life to make films to inspire people to live a better life.
loving my 865+ haven't really tried the camera much and haven't done any video recording but reviews were mainly positive for the 20 ultra. the Qualcomm version did perform better than the exynos version though. its a great device with a real premium feel to it.
Another epic review. Please do the galaxy s21 ultra review soon. I am eyeing this for sometime and will make my final purchase decision based on your review only for its camera performance; will probably eat one meal a day for next two months, so that important is your take on that phone! :)
Great video, as usual. How's the new phone playing with the 10 bit video capture using mcpro24fps? Do you think just plain HDR10 is better in that respect compared to HDR10+ where it's perhaps less "dynamic"?
*Greetings; I love your channel, brother! Happy subscriber here. Infinite Thanks for all that you do, and for all that you generously share with us. Best Wishes to you and your loved ones. Carlos* 👍💖
Thanks for you clear explains.... could you shoot in 50 fps with filming pro? I'm looking for a smartphone or IPhone to support shoot in 50 fps with filming pro app ? Maybe you have an idea for that ? 🤔 thanks you again
Just bought the S20 Ultra, really wanted to hear your thoughts. I am trying to make mobile my only video camera out in the field. Thanks love your channel.
This is an absolutely great video. Thank you for this. It seems auto is now beating pro-mode in so many ways. The world of photography / videography is changing. I'm not even sure how many more years my DSLR will be relevant for anything other than big glass. (Portraits?)
Hi, thanks for in-deph review. Loved the quality of this phone. By the way, in your previous videos I saw that you reviewed mcpro24fps - test it, if with it the telephoto works or not? I'm using Mi Note 10, and mcpro24fps does provide more access to auxilary cameras than Filmic Pro.
@@SiHorrocks quite sad then - try contacting the support, maybe they can look up for that if this is possible. There should be workaround to have full controls like in pro mode for tele cam
5:19 are you sure that is not because you are in that aspect ratio? did you? because to use the entire screen you would think it would combine some image from a few of the lenses
I'm a note person and looking to upgrade. Whats your thought on the note and film making? Did you find it acceptable? Are you happy with the video from it and would you use the note to make a movie?
Can I ask you which mini tripod you are showing here? I want to get one and have no idea which to buy and since most purchases have to be online now, I rely need a recommendation. Excellent video.
Thanks for the video. Have been trying filmic pro and pro video mode on my note 20ultra. Very frustrating. Native app is good was wondering why this is happening. Thanks for the explanation. helpful. I bought the mcpro24fps not much luck. How is it with mcpro24fps. I Will stick to native app. Was feeling bad whether I made a wrong choice going with note 20 ultra instead of waiting for iphone 12. but the video you tested looks great that is comforting. Hope samsung would fix the lens selection in pro mode....
On my note 20 if I switch to 8k in pro video it switches to the telephoto lens! Wish I could use it in other resolutions and frame rates but at least it had a video function with 8k.
Hi, wonderful video..and I've seen my share. I'm in the midst of a decision on the Note 20 Ultra vs the new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Seems to me that you'd go with the Note 20 Ultra? Am I reading this right? I know the answer probably "depends on what you want to do with it." but yes.. it would be for video..making short movies and such . I imagine you're quite a busy man, but if you could suggest which you prefer I'd greatly appreciate it. I've subbed your channel and look forward to any content you post. Cheers.
Watching this and seeing all that dynamic range in auto mode... 😮😮😮 The footage in Filmic Pro looked pale in comparison. I mean, I don't really have to worry about this as I can't afford this phone anyway... 😂.. but just WOW
There is something weird about the telephoto lens in Samsung. You blocked the camera but but but......Samsung camera app detect it. So it AUTOMATICALLY changes to the main camera because it is designed to search the best aperture. That happened to me with my S10+. I could detect that weird behaviour doing the next test: 1. Block half of the tele, only the tele 2. Record at home 3. Record through an open window or outside. Then I could prove that the app change from tele to main camera because is half blocked image ....Good video. 🤩🤩🤩
You're great... you're review is really helpful for taking the last right decigin before buying smartphone..I don't know if i should choose note ultra 10 or 20!!! They are still available in my country..
@@SiHorrocks hi.. Just another question please.. You said that you cannot use ultra wide angle in pro mode , can we use it in pro video mode?? Thank you sir..
@@SiHorrocksThank you very much for answering, am very happy to know you. It is clear that you are very professional. I noticed this in the way you talked about the Samsung Note 20 Ultra, and it seems that I am about to buy it. I work in the media field as a photographer and heard a lot about this phone and hesitated a lot before buying and it seems that your answers was very helpful to me in choosing...thanks Sorry if there is any writing mistakes😍
I have note 20 ultra and finally i found that in ultra wide camera i can shot 4k 60fps i pro mode. I was about to sell it because i thoughto ly 30fps was available. Now i consider to buy Zhiyun smooth 5.. do you believe i can do a decent videos with this combination? Also co aider buying 1-2 lenses .. any suggestion about lenses?
This fone is million tines better than gold digger Iphone. What ever issues are there will be resolved in the coming updates. Samsung gives updates and apply give new model with double price.
mcpro24fps allows you to record 10bit video from the entire sensor, with a huge bitrate up to 600Mbps. Forget about filmicpro, they stopped updating it a long time ago, 10bit still does not work in it.
Have you tried the russian app mcpro24fps ? Take a look at it, specially the russian non commercial version (test version) available after you talk a bit with the author on the playstore comments... bbecause it is 30 times better than filmic pro. And maybe... you will have access to the zoom camera in a near future.
Hello my note 20 ultra is on UHD only i dont have the option to choose 4k resolution why is this i cant find anything to fix this it dont let me choose other options
@@SiHorrocks on my native camera note 20 ultra i dont have any option of choosing 4k like when i got it for the first time now only shows UHD30,UHD60 are this 4k30,4k60?
Could someone please help me to find a way to shoot raw video with note 20 ultra? I cannot manage to do it, whatever I do the file size is always too small, so it does not save any raw for me. What do I do wrong? I shoot 1920*1080 30fps, but the it saves neither raw copies or raw files at all... :-/
I returned my note 20 for many of the same reasons stated. It's a shame, I feel it's far superior to the iPhone and I love the look, but I found myself hoping the iPhone 12 will be a better fit for me
@@SiHorrocks yes, I loved the note, but it felt hampered both by Samsung and filmic pro. I had several apps trying to get the ease of what I remembered with my s10+ with filmic pro. If the 12 doesn't deliver, I'll be back for sure
@@alexvswrld will definitely keep you posted, unfortunately the order date is tomorrow, so it probably wont arrive till next week. I heard a rumour that the 20 ultra would be the last note and that Samsung would be focusing its resources on their new flip models coming out🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ I hate this, as I've said earlier the note 20 ultra is the most incredible phone I have had the pleasure of owning but as a filmmaker I am mostly interested in the camera on phones and the support seems to be lacking from Samsung and inadvertently filmic pro. They have even closed the music app and request you now use TH-cam Music!!
@@alexvswrld I can say that filmic seem much snappier with the 12 pro max than with my note ultra. Several of the snags I saw with note are gone. I will update again when apple releases their log profile. Any inquiries jus let me know

it's the Ulanzi MT-08 geni.us/p5BSQVT
@@SiHorrocks Great. Thanks a lot :-)
Sir for this phone front camera is there?
Irony is that S20 ultra was probably the worst Samsung phone ever while note is one of the best ever.
I do think it has improved with subsequent software updates. My son has one and all of the early problems (esp with auto focus) appear to be gone.
I had no issues with my s20 ultra eeven after the updates love my note ultra tho
One one the best channels you can subscribe to
Thats awesome
Please make a video on mi 10t
Thanks for the video. Have been trying filmic pro and pro video mode on my note 20ultra. Very frustrating. Native app is good was wondering why this is happening. Thanks for the explanation. helpful. I bought the mcpro24fps not much luck. How is it with mcpro24fps. I Will stick to native app. Was feeling bad whether I made a wrong choice going with note 20 ultra instead of waiting for iphone 12. but the video you tested looks great that is comforting. Hope samsung would fix the lens selection in pro mode....
On my note 20 if I switch to 8k in pro video it switches to the telephoto lens! Wish I could use it in other resolutions and frame rates but at least it had a video function with 8k.
That's with i like my LG V60 a lot, it has no telephoto lens but it will let you do anything in manual mode, even use HDR10

Hi, wonderful video..and I've seen my share. I'm in the midst of a decision on the Note 20 Ultra vs the new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Seems to me that you'd go with the Note 20 Ultra? Am I reading this right? I know the answer probably "depends on what you want to do with it." but yes.. it would be for video..making short movies and such . I imagine you're quite a busy man, but if you could suggest which you prefer I'd greatly appreciate it. I've subbed your channel and look forward to any content you post. Cheers.
thank you! I will need to test it against the iPhone 12 Pro Max to know for sure
@@SiHorrocks Thanks for your honest reply!
Watching this and seeing all that dynamic range in auto mode... 😮😮😮 The footage in Filmic Pro looked pale in comparison. I mean, I don't really have to worry about this as I can't afford this phone anyway... 😂.. but just WOW
I know it's crazy 😄
There is something weird about the telephoto lens in Samsung. You blocked the camera but but but......Samsung camera app detect it. So it AUTOMATICALLY changes to the main camera because it is designed to search the best aperture. That happened to me with my S10+. I could detect that weird behaviour doing the next test: 1. Block half of the tele, only the tele 2. Record at home 3. Record through an open window or outside. Then I could prove that the app change from tele to main camera because is half blocked image ....Good video. 🤩🤩🤩
Yeah, but you can see it switch back to the main camera. I mean I moved my finger very slowly so I would catch the edge of it before it switched 1😄
The p40 pro with tof ai image sensor is the way to go. Huawei also gave out 40 free p40 pro to Canadian film students this year.
Is there any app that allows us to use tele lens with manual mode everyone?
This is beautiful
Look forward to seeing what you do with this phone. I'll be getting it soon enough.
You're great... you're review is really helpful for taking the last right decigin before buying smartphone..I don't know if i should choose note ultra 10 or 20!!!
They are still available in my country..
Note20 Ultra if you can get it
@@SiHorrocks thank you very much..
@@SiHorrocks hi..
Just another question please..
You said that you cannot use ultra wide angle in pro mode , can we use it in pro video mode??
Thank you sir..
@@abdel-halimshahaby8436 that no longer applies, as they have now included the UW in both pro modes
@@SiHorrocksThank you very much for answering, am very happy to know you. It is clear that you are very professional. I noticed this in the way you talked about the Samsung Note 20 Ultra, and it seems that I am about to buy it. I work in the media field as a photographer and heard a lot about this phone and hesitated a lot before buying and it seems that your answers was very helpful to me in choosing...thanks
Sorry if there is any writing mistakes😍
Congratulations on the Note 20.
Thanks! I'm loving using it for video shooting
DO you have Exynos or SD version in the video ?
Exynos
How was your exporting and editing workflow for HDR10+ video? Did you use Premiere? I’m wondering if editing in iPad would be ideal.
This is all edited on LumaFusion on iPad. I just sent the files via Google drive and HDR seems to show up in Luma. There's a visible difference
Do you know what apps you can use to edit the hdr footage on Android and do it all in phone?
as far as I know there aren't any
Do you think a software update will make taking video quality better like iPhone 12 Pro Max?
Which is the best mobile for knowing 4k 60fps video?
Any comments on the quality of the samsung s20 FE (fan edition) for recording video?
Why does his voice sound like a Disney movie narrator intro?
Are those raw footages?
Yes
Does the DJI OM 4 support Samsung Galaxy Note20 ultra with lenses? (I have an Ulanzi Anamorphic with a ND filter)
Will test it out soon!
Is this music by Nils Frahm?
I have note 20 ultra and finally i found that in ultra wide camera i can shot 4k 60fps i pro mode. I was about to sell it because i thoughto ly 30fps was available. Now i consider to buy Zhiyun smooth 5.. do you believe i can do a decent videos with this combination? Also co aider buying 1-2 lenses .. any suggestion about lenses?
so we dont need apps like filmic pro now?
Well, 2 different paths. Its not such a straightforward choice now
This fone is million tines better than gold digger Iphone. What ever issues are there will be resolved in the coming updates. Samsung gives updates and apply give new model with double price.
mcpro24fps allows you to record 10bit video from the entire sensor, with a huge bitrate up to 600Mbps.
Forget about filmicpro, they stopped updating it a long time ago, 10bit still does not work in it.
i'm getting one from my provider thru recontracting
Have you tried the russian app mcpro24fps ?
Take a look at it, specially the russian non commercial version (test version) available after you talk a bit with the author on the playstore comments... bbecause it is 30 times better than filmic pro. And maybe... you will have access to the zoom camera in a near future.
Very good video about Samsung note 20 ultra! I really enjoyed it! 😀👍👍
Why doesn't my ultra have the 0.5 zoom while recording in video?
in normal mode or pro mode?
Very good camera.
Conclusion : no phones can be used easily used for shooting films. A professional camera is definitely worth
Hello my note 20 ultra is on UHD only i dont have the option to choose 4k resolution why is this i cant find anything to fix this it dont let me choose other options
Please i need help is UHD 4k?
Uhd is not full 4K but is often called 4K, 3rd party apps mostly refer to uhd as 4k
@@SiHorrocks on my native camera note 20 ultra i dont have any option of choosing 4k like when i got it for the first time now only shows UHD30,UHD60 are this 4k30,4k60?
@@luisrosado1448 UHD = 4K
I got one too!!!! :D
Yesss
you should really check out the LG v60 for content creation man.
LG V60 does look good
@@SiHorrocks oh my god! U replied!
Could someone please help me to find a way to shoot raw video with note 20 ultra? I cannot manage to do it, whatever I do the file size is always too small, so it does not save any raw for me. What do I do wrong? I shoot 1920*1080 30fps, but the it saves neither raw copies or raw files at all... :-/
I returned my note 20 for many of the same reasons stated. It's a shame, I feel it's far superior to the iPhone and I love the look, but I found myself hoping the iPhone 12 will be a better fit for me
You've gone for an iPhone 12 instead?
@@SiHorrocks yes, I loved the note, but it felt hampered both by Samsung and filmic pro. I had several apps trying to get the ease of what I remembered with my s10+ with filmic pro. If the 12 doesn't deliver, I'll be back for sure
@@sonnislimm did the 12 deliver? I’m really interested in both of these phone, leaning more towards the note.
@@alexvswrld will definitely keep you posted, unfortunately the order date is tomorrow, so it probably wont arrive till next week.
I heard a rumour that the 20 ultra would be the last note and that Samsung would be focusing its resources on their new flip models coming out🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I hate this, as I've said earlier the note 20 ultra is the most incredible phone I have had the pleasure of owning but as a filmmaker I am mostly interested in the camera on phones and the support seems to be lacking from Samsung and inadvertently filmic pro. They have even closed the music app and request you now use TH-cam Music!!
@@alexvswrld I can say that filmic seem much snappier with the 12 pro max than with my note ultra. Several of the snags I saw with note are gone. I will update again when apple releases their log profile. Any inquiries jus let me know
Nobody ever talk about mic/sound on Samsung phones
Just working on it now
Is it real shootage🧐🧐🧐😮😮😮
👌
But the video is not in HDR like iphone records
Use a Realme 3 phone with 720p in Cinematic video
0:49 s at 0.25x speed :$
Good for cinema but you can not scan a A4 paper. To blurry. A shame for this phone.
True that! It bothers me every day!
more expensive than my dslr wtf
Is this the note 20 or 21?
