Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 12/256 GB, Dual: nano SIM + eSIM, black by Micha Niemczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

1. The battery works well, from 9 am to midnight there are 15 percent with a screen time of 5h30m, I think this is a good indicator, but not enough to write down in dignity. 2. The phone does not fit in a jeans pocket :3 Not a disadvantage, just be aware. 3. The camera block protrudes very strongly, but again I would not call it a disadvantage, rather a feature. 4. The power supply does not seem to be the most powerful, but it charges the phone from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half, which is a good result for me. I wouldn’t buy a phone on Exinos even at half price, I don’t see any reason to encourage such a company policy. Like "we have an option for other markets with a cool processor that is faster, more economical, supports 5G and allows you to take better pictures, but we will not officially sell it to you, because we need to implement our unfinished in-house processors, which may become normal in a few generations, but for now it's the only way, 100k from you. " Therefore, as soon as devices appeared on a normal Snapdragon, I immediately bought it. In general, I am very satisfied, I have not received such emotions from buying a new phone for a long time (which is probably not surprising for such an amount).

Pros
  • The main advantages for me personally: 1. Appearance. The size to screen ratio is very impressive, the glass on the back, the overall feel is very pleasant. The kit came with a transparent case, but I quickly removed it when I realized that the device is so aesthetically pleasing. 2. The screen is very large, bright, high-quality color reproduction in natural mode (in vivid there is some kind of acid tin). The huge size, the hole from the front camera personally does not bother me at all. 3. The sound is more like sound from a good laptop than sound from a phone. Compare with the previous Pixel 2 XL. 4. UI. It doesn’t really lose to the stock Google one, but in some ways it’s even more thought out. Plus, it is aesthetically good if you change the regular icons and wallpapers. Bigsby turns off almost completely, which is a plus. Before that, the last Samsung was Galaxy S2, everything was so bad with the interface there that after that I didn’t buy Samsung for almost 10 years. 5. Productivity. Everything and always flies, the most demanding games at maximum speed give a stable 60 fps, moreover, the phone itself is a little warm. 6. 120 hertz combined with such power is very cool, after that it is difficult to use another phone, you see all the jerks 7. Ultra-wide shot. It's everywhere now, but I didn't have it before, it's a cool thing. 8. Handle on the left. It's a plus for me since I'm left-handed. However, I don't really use a pen. 9. Facial recognition works fast and well. 10. From the factory, a film is pasted on the screen and on the top and bottom faces. A trifle, but nice, because it's so difficult to stick it yourself with such high quality. At the same time, unscrupulous sellers still offer the service of film stickers before buying.
Cons
  • 1. Camera. The camera itself is generally not bad, but it loses a lot to it in the Pixel 2 XL, which can now be bought second-hand for 15k. Night shooting compared to Google is about nothing at all. 2. The bottom speaker is closed by hand when you hold the phone horizontally. In the same Pixel, both speakers are located symmetrically and cannot be closed. 3. The fingerprint sensor on the screen is constantly dull, it only works the second time. in the Galaxy A20, the rear sensor works many times faster and better. As a result, I use only recognition from the front camera. 4. The phone has two main cameras, one with 1x zoom and the other with 50x digital zoom. So, to switch between them, you have to do it manually, although it would be possible to switch automatically as the zoom increases. Maybe it is configured somewhere, but I did not find it. 5. Camera lenses knock on the walls of the case when you turn the phone over, it feels like some part has come off inside.
