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.

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.

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.

If you want a top-end Galaxy Note for its S-Pen functionality and don't particularly care about the cameras, the much less expensive (but still very premium) Galaxy Note 20 would be a good choice.

There is no question that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is a great smartphone. But if you can do without the S-pen, you are guaranteed to find equal or even better smartphones for much less money.

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.

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.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
