The Note20 Ultra showcases everything that’s cutting-edge for Samsung. So it gets the best possible display, the fastest Exynos processor and a 108MP triple camera stack, promising all-round premium experience. The S-Pen continues to be unique to the smartphone, and remains to be a major reason for investing on the Note series. The QHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate is a delight to both game and work on, and the S-Pen helps you take notes, scribble suggestions in a presentation, and even let you use it as a remote shutter. Then there’s the camera, where Samsung, for the first time, performs 8-in-1 pixel binning to output rich, detailed 12MP photos from a 108MP primary camera, along with offering 5x optical zoom and ultrawide shots. The Note20 Ultra is also fast, thanks to the Exynos 990 SoC, but it stops just short of the performance from its Snapdragon variant available in the US. The Note20 Ultra’s biggest issue is battery life. The Exynos variant seems to drain the battery much faster, resulting in just around 5 hours of screen-on time on an average. Samsung only compensates with a 25W fast charger in the box.
