IT PRO | Bobby Hellard

The main reason you buy a phone with the "Ultra" label (or plus or pro) is for the extras...this is quite literally the ultra smartphone.

TheEffect.Net | Derek Reilly

At this level of flagship, we think that it will be only fanboys and very early adopters who will pay this kind of premium. We look forward to seeing the tech used to power this beast of a phone rolling down to more affordable models.

Samsung has come out with its best estimation of an Android smartphone, and it delivers of most fronts.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is one of the best devices that Samsung has put out yet ... however, at its asking price, the Galaxy S20 Ultra will definitely make buyers think hard before pulling the trigger.

... if money isn't a bottleneck, then the Galaxy S20 Ultra is a brilliant option, one that should definitely be considered if you are in the market for a flagship from the premium end of the smartphone market.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt

Without a doubt the S20 Ultra's highlight is its camera; a large 108 MP sensor, 100x zoom, wide-angle lens, and more bling-bling than you can shake a stick at. And then, while taking photos, you suddenly realize that Samsung failed to implement a reliable autofocus.

Overall, the S20 Ultra will likely impress you, especially if you can stomach its price.

Android Authority | Eric Zeman

While the device boasts an impressive display, rapid performance, and powerful cameras, the price tag is so high that the phone is unaffordable to many. If you want the ultra-mate phone, you'll pay the ultra-mate price.

Great phone all the way through, though that big camera needs some work. If slash when Samsung gets that work complete, it might just have the world's best camera system for 2020.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

The S20 Ultra is in a class of its own when it comes to its size. It's bigger, thicker, and just feels heftier than anything else Samsung has brought to market in the flagship category. I'm sure there's plenty people will very much welcome these devices as they're willing to use bigger and bigger phones

If you were to buy this phone right now, you literally are buying the most powerful and complete flagship there will be, and what's missing can all be fixed with software updates and tuning.

AndroidPit | David McCourt

Overall, it's a solid package, but there is so much overkill here. Samsung has shoved all of its chips into the middle of the poker table and it's hasn't quite paid off. It feels like a smartphone that has been designed for the marketing team to give it the big licks.

AVForums | David Phelan

This is a dazzling phone. It's big and powerful, with some of the most advanced components yet seen on a smartphone. For many people it will be overkill. There are other phones which are more affordable and almost as advanced.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

There's no doubt that the Galaxy S20 Ultra is one of Samsung's best phones to date. I just wish all that camera was squeezed into something considerably smaller and cheaper.

Forbes | Patrick Moorhead

Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra is a beast of a phone. In every category of raw specs, it has outperformed and even set the standard for what a flagship device is for power users.

news.com.au | Jack Gramenz

Unless you want the absolute "best" (and most expensive) phone you can buy or you need some of the niche camera features on the S20 Ultra, either of the cheaper models should suffice, because in almost every sense – its price, size and specs – the S20 Ultra may be more than you need.

T3 | Robert Jones

The price will make many people's eyes water, and it is obviously far too much phone for the majority of users, but if you are a tech enthusiast and have pockets deep enough to wield it, then the S20 Ultra is impossible not to recommend.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The Galaxy S20 Ultra is a no-compromise device: it might not be the 'best' in every area, but you couldn't say Samsung skimped anywhere. The battery is huge, the megapixels aplenty and the internal options currently unmatched.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

A few camera niggles at launch and breathtaking price that limits mainstream appeal, but still outmuscles just about any other Android phone you care to name. One for spec junkies with deep pockets.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

The biggest rival to the S20 Ultra may well be Samsung's regular Galaxy S20+. The smaller phone offers many of the same great features, a different camera set that's potentially more attractive and it's more affordable too.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is the most impressive Android smartphone that's ever been released. Not only is it remarkable in its approach to offering new features, but the entire experience is so well refined that Samsung barely places a foot wrong.

Samsung went all-out with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, skipping concerns over size and price to just give you the biggest and best in all aspects. You get absolutely everything in this phone, with a glorious display and the highest-end specs.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra sets a new standard for displays in premium smartphones, but the price is very high. And its cameras, while impressive, require a fix from Samsung.

It has blazing performance, the best screen on a phone I've seen yet, strong battery life, and thanks to full support for the three main types of 5G, it's as future proof as you can get at the moment.

You shouldn't buy the Galaxy S20 Ultra if it's too big for your hand, and that may be true for most average phone buyers. It makes a convincing case for foldable phones to exist.

For this price, Samsung needs to deliver something nearly perfect; the Ultra is not. Its camera issues and heft keep it from being the best in the market.

In its current state, it's hard to justify spending on a camera-centric device, which simply isn't the best smartphone camera you can buy. For a similar big-screen experience, it seems you could do just as well to get the S20 Plus for less.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

There are many impressive things about the S20 Ultra: the screen, the battery, 5G networking, speed, and more. But the flagship feature is the all-new camera system, which features ultra-high megapixel counts and telephoto zoom in an attempt to kick off the next stage of mobile photography. Samsung called this phone the S20 instead of the S11 to indicate that it is the first of a new generation, and that might be too revealing. As impressive as the overall phone is, the camera often acts like a first-gen tech product with first-gen tech problems.

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.
