Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow The Note 20 Ultra is the culmination of Samsung's bi-annual flagship launches, and it's pretty much everything you could ask of a modern flagship. There's no doubt in my mind that it's a rapid performer, but it also takes great pictures, its screen is an absolute delight, and its software experience is as equally refined as the Galaxy S20's too.

90	Firstpost | Nimish Sawant Consider it if you see yourself using the S-Pen a lot. Else, go for the S20 Ultra if you want to stay in the Samsung family. Read full review
90	Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is a very expensive smartphone, no doubt. But, if you can pay upwards...for an iPhone you can pay the same amount for Samsung's best phone. I say Samsung's best phone and not the best Android phone with caution here. It would've been the best Android phone in my books had Samsung not used the Exynos 990 in India. Read full review

80	Pickr | Leigh Stark The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is good, but lacks imagination, and frankly, we want it back. This year more than ever. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a good phone, but for the price, we want it to be better. Read full review

80	Recombu | Adam Speight If you've got the cash, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the most premium Android phone you can buy. This Samsung faces tough competition from the company's own Galaxy S20 as well as the more affordable OnePlus 8 Pro. However, the most recent Samsung flagship is rife with top drawer features, a design to die for and a signature S Pen that is better than ever. Read full review
