I went with the Note 20 Ultra over the S21 Ultra because I wanted a MicroSD card. I didn't even think about whether or not it would have a headphone jack (my phone went in the ocean on vacation, so I had to replace it suddenly).
I didn't even notice the lack of headphone jack until I went to donate plasma and pulled out my wired ear buds.
So, I figured if I'm gonna go wireless I'm gonna get something at least decent. Bought a pair of Samsung Buds Plus. Now that I've had them for a few weeks, I've got no desire to go back to wired headphones. The ear buds sound great, and they work perfectly. Always connecting instantly when I take them out of the case. It's also more convenient to just throw the case into my pocket and pop them out when I wanna use them.

lol the phones are water resistant not waterproof and there is always a chance it could be breached. And they are definitely not made for swimming, The contacts inside the charging port will oxidize. And pool water with Chlorine will destroy the sealant glue.
''The phone is huge and delicate if you sneeze it scratches, Samsung phones have been delicate ever since but now they're just very weak they can't resist one fall, ''
I mean the Note20 is made from glass, like the S10. And it actually has gorilla glass Victus which is more resistant. Also all flagships are made from a glass sandwich and all will break if you keep dropping it and swimming with it.
No wonder no phone survives with you. You should probably get a CAT or a Trekker phone for your needs.

It's not coming back to the flagships and many people have moved on and accepted it. If the 3.5mm Jack is so important to you buy a A series and just be quiet! Also it have UBC connectors for the Jack so I don't understand the whole issue 😑😑
Alitaghavi, 10 Apr 2021Is there a big difference between 60HZ and 120 HZ display?Y E S
Caesar, 09 Apr 2021Is it just me or there is literally NO DIFFERENCE at all between this and Note 10+ ?? I have t... moreThe difference is BIG tough
108MP combined with telephoto lens can achieve more Hybrid Zoom IF you are a photo enthusiast, Stainless Steel frame is stronger and more luxury like iPhone IF you are bothered about design, UWB will useful for smart Tag finder since UWB has longer range than Bluetooth
Laser AF very useful in Low Light Scene and Short Range photo since AF is measured by laser shot length, Dual PDAF can't be good at Low Light since PDAF requires motion and motion requires well lit environment, ToF 3D is good only for Depth Measuring but for now depth measuring is already supported with Tele and AI and both are better every year, but Laser AF is mandatory for low light and short range fast AF
Don't forget 5G is supported on this phone and eSIM IF you are traveling across the world that support eSIM, don't need to open the tray to exchange anymore, just scan QR and use it like Dual SIM
Who need 45W charging? 25W is far enough for fast charging and not hard to find the 3rd party cheaper charger and cable mostly upto 30W, 25W is still HOT while charging and using it, Hotter the phone, your CPU will throttle down cause some Lag
Some people may not want to upgrade but some people will like to upgrade because of some difference
Alitaghavi, 10 Apr 2021Is there a big difference between 60HZ and 120 HZ display?120hz has smoother motion than 60, useful in Gaming like PubG ML etc because high spec game requires some high frame rate for detailing like shooting, missing frame can cause some freakin losing, or while scrolling or maybe watch youtube there will be difference on smoothness, just that, the otherwise is not much different

Is it just me or there is literally NO DIFFERENCE at all between this and Note 10+ ?? I have the Note 10+ and just bought Note 20 Ultra 5G and the cameras are about the same in terms of details both at night and during the day. Even though the cameras are huge on Note 20 they do NOT outperform Note 10+ in any way shape or form. The only advantage is you have 5x optical zoom instead of 2x. I also think the sound is a bit better on 20 ultra. It has a bit more bass to it like the iphone but overall my advice, if you already have Note 10+ you can safely skip note 20 ultra. Specs wise 12GB RAM 256GB storage on both. Despite note 20 having 200mah more than note 10, according to gsmarena the battery endurance is better on note 10. It brings nothing new and its not a better phone.
Alitaghavi, 07 Apr 2021Is it easy to transport this phone every where with you ? I have A51 but i think i should buy ... moreSimple. If you have the money just buy the Note. Period.
If you want to spend 600 euro elsewhere just get the A52 5G. It has extremely good value.

I came back to Samsung after a 2year affair with Oneplus, Xiaomi, Sony, LG clones. Got Note20Ultra and Note20 for a start. Will look for foldables with spen later.
Now the Exynos Note20Ultra is undoubtedly slower and choppier than 8Pro, Xperia5ii, ZFlip i used just recently. Despite the Exynos fraud commited on EU citizens by Samsung, the battery is pretty good, and i was scared of this mostly. Just root it and enjoy SOT and standby better than Note9, S10. At some point it felt like in low use i could get 3 days, but so far there's so much functionality I had no chance to keep the phone down.
Regarding camera, I like 108mpix, massive influx of details. I don't like the classic smoothing of faces, digital sharpening, I often miss 8Pro realistic look. I despise Bokeh mode, the artifacts there are shocking. Really horrid portrait mode. I often have problem to focus, and I expect Note20 to be better for normal AUTO shooting. My cam also doesn't produce Motion Photo for some reason. Sometime it crashes, and OnePlus is easily way more stable and faster. Still i'm tired of those vanilla phones. Now that 9Pro costs huge money, it's dead to me. Next year you will have what.. OnePlus 10 with empty OS, same average camera, versus ZFlip3/Note21 with spen? Who on earth will choose OnePlus?:D Same goes for Xperia, the notification light and sd card geek gribes were cool, but there must some shocking change to come. Can't be paying for mediocrity anymore.
I've liked Samsung for years, but now it's time to try something else.
First of all, I bought Samsung Note 20 Ultra, I'm not liking it at all I've been using it for 2 months now. First of all, very expensive absolutely not worth the price.
The phone is huge and delicate if you sneeze it scratches, Samsung phones have been delicate ever since but now they're just very weak they can't resist one fall, the pen is useless, the headphone jack is just annoying as hell, there's no point in copying Iphone otherwise we'd all move to Apple, at least give us the plug that transfers headphone jack to normal earphones!!!
The phone is very huge, unsatisfying to carry or to use, yes it's fast it's powerful...etc. but I can't say huge step from previous Samsungs! The phone heats up immediately when I use it, the Google Voice assistant isn't quite working well, the fingerprint position is annoying like I don't understand why can't it be in the same button? ,face recognition and camera bar/code recognition are also bad.
and the waterproof thing keeps downgrading in each Samsung, I used to swim with my S10, I splashed the Note 20 little bit and it stopped working for few days..
I wish Samsung keeps making strong small phones, easy to carry, with normal headphone jack and sd card.
Also I am pretty sure this Samsung won't survive 2 years that's just impossible for these phones to live that long, I've changed Samsung 3 times the past 5 years and all that time I'm still using the HTC 10 as my main, strong phone that I can rely on!!

It should be a good phone to get support for at least 3-4 years. I gave up on the headphone jack as the phone comes with USB C headphones and not using the headphone jack recently.
I have purchased the phone Note 20 Ultra 5G. I noticed there are two versions Vietnam and India so I opted for the Vietnam one as the Indian factory not sure if it started manufacturing high-end galaxy phones. Initially, I regretted it as I was thinking about the Note 9 but then Note 20 will be supported for further 3 years ahead, and probably no more Note coming this year due to chip supply. The phone is snappier than ever with the 1120Hz and the 12 GB RAM. The camera is good. What I hate is the fingerprint and iris sensor. Samsung is just simply terrible in this category. All manufacturers are way better than Samsung like Apple, Huawei, and Xiamoi, OnePlus, Oppo. I don't know why Samsung can't make a proper sensor. Obviously, I can't use any phone but Samsung due to the One UI as it is the best for me among all Android manufacturers and also having the Pen as there is no competitor for the Note in this category, not even the S21 Ultra. Battery Life is good and it lasts more than one day compared to my Note 9 which is barely one day. But I think Samsung needs improvement in this category as their batteries to start well at the beginning and then over time start to degrade. The camera bump is big (the new trend now like Apple and Xiamoi) so I bought a proper case from Amazon that protects the camera glass and obviously you can't find a glass screen protector. I respect Apple for making their phones flat.
Hope I gave an overview of the phone and ready to answer anyone to be able to give value to this community.

But when you use Samsung phone over 4G
LTE you will be lucky if u get 4 hours this from experience
I don't know why people complain about samsung exynos and ui
I've used oneplus 7 pro (aka the fastest ui) and its buggy after 1 month of no monthly patch
Since switching to samsung I've not notice and ui lag, or throttle
Its been solid and fluid
I even compare the fastness of the phone to my previous one plus and I could feel the difference being big
Battery life excellent
This is my usage
2hrs of gaming Pubg, call of duty
3hrs of YouTube
2 hrs of social media
2 hrs of browsing
All these at 120hz @1080p men! this is better than oneplus 6½ to 7 hrs screen on time
