The Samsung Galaxy Note 20
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is the latest phone from industry-leader Samsung. The phone dropped alongside its more souped-up counterpart, the Note 20 Ultra, but the basic version has a lot to offer, so let’s start there.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 features a stunning 6.7” display, allowing for plenty of space for an unimpeded visual experience. Unlike the other Samsung flagships, the Galaxy Note 20 features a flat Infinity-O display instead of a curved display, which may appeal to some (and lower the price, too).
The 60 Hz refresh rate is less than what you’d expect from a smartphone of this caliber, but if you’re not too concerned about faster refresh rates, 60hz means a longer-lasting battery.
Performance
This smartphone is powerful. It’s pretty much a pocket PC that’s capable of doing everything your PC can do.
It’s powered by the fastest processors in the Galaxy line of smartphones, and with up to 12GB of RAM, you’ll be able to work, play, watch, and create at top speed.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is equipped with a large 4,500mAh battery, so you should be able to get plenty of juice for a full day of use.
While it’s more expensive brother, the Samsung Galaxy 20 Ultra, has a slightly larger battery, we’ve found that the lower refresh rate on the Galaxy Note 20 let’s it keep a comfortable charge much longer. You can expect this smartphone to get you through even the busiest days on a single charge.
Colors
The Samsung Galaxy Note is available in Mystic Bronze, Mystic Green, and Mystic Gray. Of course, color is a matter of preference, but we definitely love the vibrance, sheen, and premium feel that the new colors give.
Camera
The Camera on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is by no means a slouch, but it has impressed as many people as it has disappointed.
It’s a great camera, really - triple camera setup with 12MP wide-angle camera, a 12MP ultra wide, and a 64MP telephoto work together to create stunning images and capture up to 8K resolution videos, while the 10MP selfie camera takes great front-facing photos - but the it falls off in terms of zoom.
The 30x Zoom feature is great, but details start to get lost at just 10x magnification. You’ll take great pictures, just not from across town.
Features
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is an incredible device that’s packed to the brim with some of the most advanced and powerful features we’ve ever seen on a smartphone.
Some features you may never use, others you may find you can’t live without, and others may still end up being the saving grace.
S Pen
This feature has to be the ultimate reason to buy the Galaxy Note 20. The S Pen can revolutionize the way you use your smartphone easily, and it’s one of those things that once you get used to it, you’ll never go back to fumbling around your thumbs again for activities such as sketching, taking notes, or just general use.
Super Fast Charging
As you’d expect from a flagship phone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, charging is extremely versatile. Fast charging can get you from 0 - 50% in just 30 minutes.
It also supports rapid wireless charging, and you can even charge your other wireless-charging devices by placing them on the phone’s backplate.
5G Option
If you opt for 5G capability, you’ll be able to get the most of what this phone has to offer. 5G-only features can turn your phone into an extremely powerful system, and the rest of the high-end hardware and software components are already optimized to leverage next-gen technology for your needs.
Samsung Dex
One of the best features of the Samsung Galaxy flagships is access to Samsung Dex, which lets you turn your smartphone into a handheld PC, with all of the power and performance that comes with it.
IP68 Water and Dust Resistance
This has come pretty standard to most flagship smartphones today, but we’re always glad to see certifications like IP68.
With this, your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is safe from splashes and spills, and can even survive in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes - good news for anyone who’s lost a phone to water damage,
