I just got my Note 20. It feels so refreshing to go back to plastic after having a few glass phones. I have no idea why people are so hyped about glass, since it does literally nothing apart from being heavy, leaving fingerprints and shattering on the first drop xD To me, right now, a plastic back is an advantage over a glass back.
@@MarkSpurrell What if I say to you, because the promo in my country, I can get this phone around 650-700 USD? For me personally it's quite a steal Edit: It's the Exynos version btw so it still quite a loss on one perspective
I just bought this phone to replace my seven year old Note 3. Do I wish it was cheaper? Sure, but I paid $700 for the Note 3 and this is a much, much better phone. I think the plastic back thing is ridiculous. Unless you're buying it as a status symbol, who cares? Frankly I'd rather have a back that's less likely to shatter. Until there's a true S-pen competitor this is the most affordable way to get one, and it's all about the S-pen. I have no regrets and I'll be happy to use it for the next seven years.
I chose this phone over the ultra because it fits my budget (got it for $600 when I renewed my plan + I was given free buds+), it's just the right size for me and the flat screen made writing notes a joy. I don't care about refresh rates or the plastic back. Overall, it's still an outstanding phone for the work that i do.
All very good points! Not gonna lie you have me questioning again why I bought the Ultra -- Note 20 is cheaper, lighter (I appreciate that), flat screen, better battery...nice review!
I'm watching this video 6 months later, and I bought it for 650$ 🤣. It's an amazing phone, from the battery to the camera to the resolution, overall for 650$ it's a great phone, but i still don't get why people a reviewing it badly just because of its plastic cover and other useless specs that 99% of people would not notice when comparing to the ultra. I highly advise buying it
I personally don't care about price, as long as the longevity is there 🤷🏾♂️ and to be honest, any phone priced at or above $1,000 will bring DROVES of people complaining about the price, no matter how good or bad it is. It's just funny watching people tear the standard Note 20 to shreds over price, when most people are going to either skip the lineup altogether, or buy the standard one because it's simply costs less & is almost indistinguishable from the ultra in the eyes of most.
Don't buy this phone honestly for not the reasons like plastic back and all but poor battery life. Despite being on charging for so long while using Android auto it dropped to 40% for just 2 hours 42 min screen on time.
@@AarushOnAir I have the note 20, the battery life is amazing for me. This is the first time I've been able to get through a full day without having to charge my phone by noon (I had an s9 before). It lasts over 12 hours and I use it regularly. The charging time is on the slow side however, unless you use the super-fast charging feature, which isn't very good for the battery. I think it takes about 2.5 hours to charge fully (maybe a bit more) with just cable charging.
I finally bought this phone Lol A nice lady in Stuttgart was getting rid of hers to pick up an S20 and I was scrolling through the classifieds at just the right time
I just ordered this phone. Plastic was fine for years. Ever since they started using glass backs, I have had consistent cracking issues even while using cases.. I welcome the return the flat glass and plastic backs. Thank you Samsung for listening. With google photos you really don't need more than 128gb memory. 120Mz screen only sucks battery life. No need for it. People have been complaining about prices going up, glad to see manufacturers reacting to these concerns. Well, accept for the over priced and over hyped iPhone. Screen repairs are also considerably less .... $210 vs $300. Paid 699 through Samsung trading in my s9+ with shattered back glass and cracked front glass! Not a bad deal.
Agreed! Glass is thick, heavy, expensive, and breaks. I am going to put a case on my investment anyways, so I absolutely prefer a plastic backing and spend that money on other parts of the phone. Granted, at $1k and other cuts made they obviously didn't do that... But if they had cut the glass back and kept the more premium display, or additional storage, then that would be a different story. Plus, as mentioned in the video, these things go on sale all the time. Purchased mine for $500 through my carrier today; not about to complain at that price.
Flat screen, spen, good battery, good enough screen, good cameras, it is just what I was looking for. Except for the price but I just got mine, here in mexico, I got a great deal with my carrier ($615 american dollars). Great purchase, great review!!
Great review Mark. You are right, not everyone will purchase the phone with it's full price. I'M in the market for a note and planned to trade in my 2 year old S9 that has cracked screen and a battery that drains so fast that it won't last me half a day. I just want a regular note 10 and I figured that the price will drop with the release of the note 20 series. To my surprise. Samsung offered $300 off if I purchase the regular Note 20 compared to just $200 for the regular note 10. Plus they took off $100 when I purchased the buds live. Saved a total of $400. So all those negative reviews helped a lot in dropping the price🤣🤣 Samsung accepted my trade in. Not bad for a $700 phone. But definitely not worth $1000.
My S9 is still holding up pretty well, but that might be because awhile ago I cracked my screen and got it fixed and they put in a new battery, but I'm waiting for the S21 with the snapdragon 875
True,Android phones tend to drop to nearly half the price of MSRP after several months or a year later. I personally like the look of this model,reminds me of a flat chocolate bar which is different than all the back glassed/aluminum body phones we get today.
Nice review. I have the note 20 just a few days ago. I was doubting at first if i got the right model. But whenever i think that the ultra variant costs an additional 12.41 USD monthly, it actually clears my doubts. The size of the unit is good for a woman's hand, the glasstic makes me remove the case from time to time. And I'm not worried about the camera bunch because it's really manageable for the note 20. I don't care about the refresh rate tho, I'm not a heavy user at the first place. It's quiet pricey but the ultra is way way too much pricey.
I love my Note 20! I returned my N20 Ultra and do not regret it! N20 is cheaper , (got 500 trade in credit for old s9+), it is lighter and easier to hold, flat screen, and the color calibration and gamma is WAY better on the N20 than the N20 Ultra.
I bought mine today for $750 on prime day! I would have never paid the launch price, I would have went for the ultra. But prime day sales I got Samsung galaxy buds galaxy active and note 20 for $1100 id say that's a win. (Switching from iphone)
Bought it at $400 by exchanging my Note 9, in India. Only thing I don’t like here is huge camera bump and pinhole camera which note 9, didn’t had. But these days all phone comes with camera bump and pinhole camera. Otherwise a great phone for me and I don’t care if its back is plastic. Also from a long time I wanted a flat screen on my NOTES, finally I have it with note 20. Owned note 3 neo, note 4, note 5, note 9 and now note 20.
Excellent review, great video! Keep up the good work! I think it's a great phone with a bad price. Here where I live, it is 35-50% more expensive than in the US, which makes this not worth it at all. If it dropped low enough I think it would be a good deal. Other than that, there are several options out there you can get for 1k
i have just ordered the phone TODAY! and its definitely not a BAD Phone :-) like many have said it... i really liked the way of presentation and it was refreshing! i have ordered a 8GB RAM 256GB Note 20 Mystic Bronze
Top of the line Review as always Sir I just picked one up exynos model cause I got it for 398.00 couldn't pass it up just was brushing up on its capabilities. You hit it right on the mark always a pleasure watching your material
No such thing as free - you'll just pay a premium monthly charge - there's no free lunch. I couldn't agree more though re flat screens - curved screens suck - you don't find curved TV screens now, for a very good reason - they're crap.
Can someone explain the appeal of glass backs to me? Everyone uses cases anyways and those who don't now have two expensive fragile sides to shattere when dropped. Seriously why did this become the norm? Plastic was fine, metal was fine, hell even those pleather backs were fine
thank you for your review. Can you recommend me the Note 20 (sadly Exynos 990version and almost new) for 550 €? I love the pen and I need a good camera... or should I get another smartphone?
fun fact, the 3x optical telephoto actually has a 1.1x zoom and a lot of megapixels to make up for it, i bought this phone for the 3x camera and it doesn't have a 3x camera
Thank you for saying this! I never really considered buying this phone because of the many negative reviews. It's november now and i just bought the note for 600 bucks. I don't care about the plastic back at all because i always have a case on. The edges are at this point absolutely annoying the hell out of me because I can't really put a screen protector on it (it bothers me so much that it won't cover the whole screen) and my old S10+ has got a lot of scratches because of the edge display.
Got the note 20 5g last week for £930 on contract paid over 2yrs. (£38pm) with 100gig pm data, calls and texts incl. The only downside to the ultra is mine doesnt have 120hz, but 60hz is good for most things.
the last time I had a phone on contract was with Vodafone back at a time when you had the old Nokia bricks! I've mostly had note phones but decided to wait a couple of months after the release of the note 20 ultra for the price to drop. I picked up a Hong Kong version (n9860) with the 865+ chipset 256gb rom for £889. brilliant phone.
I don't think anyone is denying that it's a good phone, but for the price you can't get much more, even buying last year's model. Samsung just priced it wrong. For maybe 700 it would have been flying off the shelf.
I have too many projects right now, but I will advise you to consider the following before making your decision: XS Max has the better display and overall design, while the 11 has better battery life and cameras. I personally prefer the XS Max, but that's just me!
i have a dilema im due for a phone upgrade soon and i dont know if i want the note 20 or note 20 ultra the ultra doesnt have green but it has a bigger screen and better camera the regular one on the other hand has that smexy smexy green color but has a worse camera
I love this but yes it’s needs more better cameras like the ability to zoom in on objects like the s20 cameras does correct me if I’m wrong but at least it has camera stability which I certainly would love because it would make videos better i would love to see Samsung to be able to connect to iPads in the future I still love the link to windows feature when I use a computer at work it better then carrying around usbs
thats good enough for me! ive been scared of getting the exynos version which is the only one available in my region, but i guess it might be worth it, since its around 700 bucks rn thank you!
The issue isn't the phone. It's the pricing. A sale price of $700 is somewhat reasonable, but $1000 is insulting. I prefer the plastic back and flat screen and I don't care about the 60hz refresh rate. But even at the sales prices I saw before Christmas, I couldn't justify paying $700 for a phone with only 128gb of storage with no SD card slot. I picked up a Note 10 instead for $600. I hate the curved screen but for $100 less and double the memory, it was the better choice.
Thanks! I'll be doing a OnePlus 8T video when it releases, but the 8 Pro is a little too old for me to buy and jump on the bandwagon with now. It wouldn't get many views, so I wouldn't be able to get my return on what I paid for it.
I am honestly really excited to get this phone. I really like all it’s features and everything, and right now because of Black Friday it’s only $750 USD.

5 hours SOT with 50% battery left. I seriously doubted. Either your phone is empty, data and WiFi off all the way and so on. Just my personal opinion as a note20 snapdragon user.
I believe the Note 20 is a good phone since I did see a video stating the Note 20 is just as durable as the Note 20 Ultra, plus the screen is kinda decent and so are the cameras. I'm a person that wants the best of the best on a phone like a 108MP camera, but for people that can't really afford it, the Note 20 Ultra is a decent option. Obviously the pricing is a bit ridiculous, but it's a good phone.
Lol, if you can find it for $600 1 month later Not sure if that happened, but Google fi is offering the more expensive 5g snapdragon version for $500 for black friday weekend! I was looking to find a great $400 device this weekend, but that was a deal I could not pass up!
I traded in my pixel 3 and samsung gave me 400 bucks for that phone!!! I got this phone for 599.00..oh and samsung gave me a 150 dollar gift card towards accessories, I got a deal!!
You gave the phone a chance instead of joining the hate train, refreshing content right here

I buy this phone in less than 200$. US version, used phone with some rough body.
Please tell me about both the sasuke and naruto wallpaper!!
I love this but yes it’s needs more better cameras like the ability to zoom in on objects like the s20 cameras does correct me if I’m wrong but at least it has camera stability which I certainly would love because it would make videos better i would love to see Samsung to be able to connect to iPads in the future I still love the link to windows feature when I use a computer at work it better then carrying around usbs
Hey what theme and launcher are you using
Really great review. Nice and in-depth yet still engaging and interesting. Keep up the amazing work man.
off topic you are so handsome, eloquent and well spoken your reviews are such a pleasure to watch
I just bought mine, 9 months later of this video, and it cost me $630, exynos version, 256 GB tho, but I think it was a great deal!
is the battery reasonable?
@@ino6739 on a regular basis, you get a whole day of use, but if you are into games, or editing pics it will drain in 5 hours more or less
thats good enough for me! ive been scared of getting the exynos version which is the only one available in my region, but i guess it might be worth it, since its around 700 bucks rn
thank you!
@@ino6739 don't be afraid! is a really good phone!
I'm watching this on my Note20 5g mystic bronze! 🙂❤👍
Great review. Good point about the phone going on sale and being worth at that price. Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks!
The issue isn't the phone. It's the pricing. A sale price of $700 is somewhat reasonable, but $1000 is insulting. I prefer the plastic back and flat screen and I don't care about the 60hz refresh rate. But even at the sales prices I saw before Christmas, I couldn't justify paying $700 for a phone with only 128gb of storage with no SD card slot. I picked up a Note 10 instead for $600. I hate the curved screen but for $100 less and double the memory, it was the better choice.
Got note 20 for 545 at bestbuy a steal pre black Friday deal
I'm picking a regular note 20 for 550 today hopefully it's worth it!
Can you pls do a oneplus 8 pro review btw loved the video
Thanks! I'll be doing a OnePlus 8T video when it releases, but the 8 Pro is a little too old for me to buy and jump on the bandwagon with now. It wouldn't get many views, so I wouldn't be able to get my return on what I paid for it.
I am honestly really excited to get this phone. I really like all it’s features and everything, and right now because of Black Friday it’s only $750 USD.
I like your videos man! excellent overall review.
Mark whats the launcher or icon pack
Nova Launcher, Saturate icon pack :)
@@MarkSpurrell 👍
100th Like 😁 - Great video as always.
INSTANT SUBSCRIBER 👍👍👍
A VERY THOROUGH REVIEW 😅👍🤗
Thanks for mentioning the price you quote is US$, it makes it easier for us Canadians know how much it costs in maple leafs.
Cheers
I am also from 🇨🇦
Most of my viewers are from the US though, so USD is the currency I use to talk about phones.
@@MarkSpurrellCool, I knew you are Canadian (I try to get at least some home grown content), and I suppected the reason for using US$. Not all Canadian reviewers mention which dollars are used (I assume US$ to avoid sticker shock) and appreciated your clarification.
Tks
Great weather leading to some great outdoor filming opportunities
Got it for $600 at Best Buy. Good phone. Great price.
5 hours SOT with 50% battery left.
I seriously doubted.
Either your phone is empty, data and WiFi off all the way and so on.
Just my personal opinion as a note20 snapdragon user.
I’m in an “Exynos Region” and I have gift cards worth 1/3rd of this phone’s value. Thinking I should buy it after your review. Good one..
5:15 AAAAA THATS MONDAY POND WTF THIS IS SO WIRED USEALLY THESE TECH REVIWER PEOPLE LIVE IN THE US IM SO CONFUSED YET HAPPY
why am i the only one that seems to not get accidental touches on my curved screen?
Can someone tell me what icon pack that is?
Do you think this phone is better than the galaxy s10e?
Is it a good deal at 630 euros? Or better the OnePlus 8 Pro? Which one has better camera?
Compare your choices on GSM arena, side by side specs
I believe the Note 20 is a good phone since I did see a video stating the Note 20 is just as durable as the Note 20 Ultra, plus the screen is kinda decent and so are the cameras. I'm a person that wants the best of the best on a phone like a 108MP camera, but for people that can't really afford it, the Note 20 Ultra is a decent option. Obviously the pricing is a bit ridiculous, but it's a good phone.
It's only been $799 unlocked at best buy. Open box excellent for $680. Great phone for that price
Lol, if you can find it for $600 1 month later
Not sure if that happened, but Google fi is offering the more expensive 5g snapdragon version for $500 for black friday weekend! I was looking to find a great $400 device this weekend, but that was a deal I could not pass up!
This phone will be amazing if the price is $600.
Agreed. I hope the price falls quickly. It might be a lot cheaper around the holidays.
@@MarkSpurrell with trade in it is 600
If anyone is wondering if there's a country where you can buy both the exynos AND snapdragon versions, yes there actually is. Switzerland.
Nice video, giving the phone a chance. Keep up the good work.
I got the note 20 with 256 gb as the base :)
I traded in my pixel 3 and samsung gave me 400 bucks for that phone!!! I got this phone for 599.00..oh and samsung gave me a 150 dollar gift card towards accessories, I got a deal!!
This was the review i needed, cheers bro. That black back looks sexy and not shown much in other reviews.
Respect on the Naruto wallpapers!
