Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 128GB - Mystic Black - AT&T Network Unlocked

I've always wanted a Samsung Note phone but never wanted to spend over a $1300 for a phone.Thanks to Prime Day I was able to snag this Note Ultra 5G for a little over $1000 and I'm glad I did because it is SUPER FAST!I upgraded from an LG G7 ThinQ and even though that phone was fast with only 6 GB of RAM, this one is amazingly fast with 12Gb of RAM.The scrolling is beautiful thanks to the 120hz refresh rate.I really like the fingerprint reader on the screen. It's super fast and accurate. The face recognition also works very well and allows for alternate "looks."The S Pen is my favorite because of the handwriting feature. Taking notes has never been easier! The text extraction feature is so helpful for copying and pasting text from images. The S pen is like a tiny magic wand! I love it. 🥰I wasn't a fan of the edges of the screen because with gestures on, accidental touches were making the phone back out. However that was fixed with a phone case and now I'm happy.Update 02/14/21: This phone is so useful when it comes to work and college.Multitasking is smooth with the 12GB RAM so it never freezes or slows down. I work with Word and Excel and the apps available have full functionality allowing me to do all the things that I can do on a desktop.My favorite app is the Samsung Notes app, which allows me to import PDFs that I can mark up with the S Pen, making note taking easy.This phone is amazing! I will keep this phone until "the wheels fall off." 😃

The cameras, the S-pen, the AMOLED screen quality, the 120 Hz refresh rate, the 5G data connection, the build quality, etc. are all top notch. This phone will probably hold the crown for best Android phone for a good while, and it has key feature bumps that made me especially want this phone--namely the 5G and the 120 Hz screen.I would definitely recommend a solid case if you're planning to spend this much money on a phone. I bought a Spigen case which effectively reduces the camera bump on the back to allow the phone to sit flat on a desk. The IP68 rating means that it will be fine with water and dust, but drop protection is still a must. I saw a stat recently that something like 2/3 of people report incurring drop damage to their phone (for all phones not specifically this phone).Other thoughts: I think it's interesting that most middle class people can afford the best phone that you can possibly purchase for a product that is in your pocket, everyday, all the time. You can't say that about cars, houses, clothes, but you could definitely swing buying the best phone that money can buy once every 3-4 years if it's important enough to you. For me it is, and I'm very happy with this phone.Lastly: Google Pixel, 1+, Apple, etc. can only hope to match some of the features that this phone has to offer, but I highly doubt that they will exceed this phone's specs on yet to be release products. Just my opinion as a phone guy, but the best that they could hope to do is give you a better value on specific features. If you're somebody looking for the best value on a calling and texting machine, then this phone is not for you. This phone is for somebody that wants the best cameras, pocket computing power, & screen quality that money can buy you right now.

Samsung and Apple have been having this rivalry for who has the better phone for a while. Between the two devices the Samsung note 20 ultra has better features, better design and less lag at least when i was using it. One thing it lacks is i message. However, the phone is much more fun to use. Especially the s pen.Over the many years, the devices have improved. Although I love the note 20 ultra, the box was missing a very important accessory. This accessory was the akg headphones that were supposed to come in the box considering how expensive the phones are in the present.Missing this piece is really frustrating and samsung did not give me the headphones so now I have to purchase new ones. I also did not get the galaxy buds which would have been a great addition. Overall having experience with both the top 2 flagship, I prefer Samsung. The biometrics are flawed when turning the screen on and it won't turn on so I have to push the button on the side. The bottom only had one speaker grill and that is annoying as well. The hole in the top is also a defect that needs to be erased. The best parts of the Samsung note 20 ultra is the customizable features to the screen images and the s pen. The camera looks super premium and has very good quality. The front camera is also much better than previous models for selfies.I hope this helps. It gets tough to get used too if you owned an i phone.
