Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G review


I have always maintained that the Samsung Galaxy Note series is the most effective Android phone. In fact, in one way it is still an unparalleled phone, a stylus ahead of anything any other company has to offer. So it also becomes tougher to improve on a device that is already this good. Plus, the expectations at this end of the product spectrum will also be higher, and only something spectacular will get noticed on a device that is already pretty good. And that is the weight the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is carrying on its rather broad shoulders.

The black and grey person that I am, it is tough to impress me with the colour of products. Yeah, that is rather dark, but that is also the boring person I am. But then, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is one phone that had me intrigued with its colours, more so because everything Samsung showcased that day from this phone to the earphones have that same bronze finish that is both unique and classy at the same time. Samsung is clearly on to something here, and this could well emerge as a selling point for the phone. This is nothing new for Samsung. Many years ago it had Indian drooling over its gold-finished flagships.


While the design of most of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is exactly the same as before, there is one change and it is a big one. To say the camera bump — necessity by the 5x optical zoom — on this phone is big will be an understatement. It is that one slab jutting out on the footpath, but also a signature design feature people will notice from the other side of the hallway. Don’t be surprised if even this becomes a reason people want to buy this phone with its three prominent lens circles.
