Let me know if you have any other Q's about the Note 20 Ultra! đ
(Also at 6:13 I accidentally showed the standard Note 20 price - it's actually $1299 for 128GB Note 20U in the US)
Yeah
What abouy heating? Does it overheat when u play for 1h? Also, what is battery drain in idle status?
why samsung drop the charging speed 45 to 25watt
Can you do comparison between Note 20 Ultra and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra?
congratulations for 1m subscribers , you are the best bro
I still don't get all these fuss about finishes. Wouldn't you put a case on a1400 quids phone anyway?!
Some people don't drop Phones idk who but I've herd they exist
There are two sides of this particular subject. One is team âI paid $1000+ for the phone and want to protect it at all cost, including probably fingerprints tooâ and the other is team âI paid $1000+ for the phone and want to enjoy (see/touch) the naked body of the phoneâ. Also, phone insurance is not a common concept in some places and usually it comes with an additional premium on top of an already expensive phone.
ijazzy2011 you donât deserve a phone
Well, last phone I purchased was an S10 when it came out. Dropped it with a case and cracked the screen. ÂŁ250 to replace it...
Pier Andrea thatâs why you use a case
Wow a 15 to 20% difference in power between Exynos and Snapdragon is substantial.
Plus better camera too.
Exynos version is a total ripoff
- Worse battery life
- Worse camera
- Worse performance
- The phone is considered an "Ultra" (Exynos variant)
- It's $1300 for Ultra Exynos
- It's not any cheaper with the Snapdragon variant
Scam
@@presidentorange9051 but it has 256gigs instead of 128gigs
@@presidentorange9051 look, exynos is very good, but not as near as SD, so don't say such things bro, exynos is much worse than SD but better than some other shitty chipsets, I have S9+ exynos, no any issues except it overheats when I play pubg much more than SD version, but it doesn't lag or anything
@@Granturion 30% worse than SD but anyways it isn't bad as everyone says
Only Exynos in many regions..... no buy.
Total fraud by Samsung to have very different phones with same name.
the problem with that is this is not new, Samsung has always done this. the only reason it's a problem now is that the performance is so different. These devices take so long to make that they can't just turn on a dime like I'm sure everyone wants. But Samsung is making strides with improving their chips, we just won't see it till next year at min.
No buy
Chris Bailey I think the problem is that Samsung Exynos overheat and lag due to their mongoose core. They can just not add their mongoose core and use arm cpu and it should be fine. I donât really care if snapdragon is more powerful or faster than Exynos. As long as the Exynos doesnât overheat or lag then Iâm fine with a inferior processor.
You know, almost ALL american cars made in Europe are totally different from their sisters made in the USA ? No you did not know ? Well get educated.
@@philipperostin he's talking about phone not cars.
Sorry Samsung, living in Europe means I have to give my money to your competitors, as I refuse to pay that price and have the processor swapped out for a lawnmower engine, giving a sub par overall experience, including shafting battery life in a big way...
Psst... go and see wondamobile
Sorry you don't have money.. terrible life. Bad luck...Bye!
What is it you think you will be doing with a Note 20 Ultra that the processor won't cope with?
@@TheB1nary he needs to watch 40 porn videos at the same time.
same here in Australia..
i am planning to buy Pixel 6 xl instead..
but love the note 20 ultra looks
that 9ms response time for the s-pen, and the camera improvement does seem really solid (though greens still to saturated and pics too bright in some cases)
but i couldn't get this because no hpj, yes... I use it a lot!
and the cpu, I feel the biggest issue is the battery life compared to the snapdragon
Well they do have it on. Vivid. Mode lol I hate vivid. Mode over saturated the realistic. Mode is normal model.
You're right exynos does a worse job than snappy dragon. However battery optimisation does work but you need to tinker with it.
Haven't upgraded since they removed the headphone jack, won't be returning till they bring it back
Just made the leap from a Note 9. The trade in made the Note 20 Ultra only $750 and came with a set of Galaxy Buds Live for $20. Seemed like a pretty damn solid deal. Pretty stoked to get it!
Really liked the new format with the q&as... You deserve more subs for sure.
Great review! Could the Exynos performance be improved at a later date via software update?
20% difference in performance is massive especially when you realise that the difference in performance between the exynos on note 20 ultra and the note 10+ is only about 9%
Meanwhile Apple is still way ahead in speed
Just try to tell me what exactly you will do with this 20 % difference ? Are you going to compose phone numbers faster ? Wow !
@@philipperostin you are forgetting that performance covers battery life... Even if there is no noticeable difference in everyday life, it annoying to pay the same price but get an inferior product
and it heats up faster and gets less battery
Who leaves the house with 20 battery anyway
Being from Europe (Netherlands), next to MKBHD's review, I waited for this review too, to hear what you have to say about the performance of this phone. Alright, on with the review!
Excellent review for a horrible processor, I hope they give up with Exynos soon for good
Aleluyah
They got AMD to help them with it.
Absolutely correctâ the reason why i hate samsung only for their Boringđ Exynos processor disgustingđ€źđ€ą
@@pnp072000 Ya that's what l heard also đ
Lol đ€Ł đ€Ł
Due to your video reviews I just completed the pre order for the Note Ultra. Thanks keep up the good work!!!
I really like this format. I like that you answer viewers questions. Enjoy the comparions with the s20 ultra. That is much needed than iPhone comparison right now. People who did purchased Samsung phones would like to see if it is worth the upgrade.
Team Snapdragon: Party-Party goes on.
Team Exynos: Sad life remains.

legit. I'm never gonna buy a samsung phone if they charge me SAME PRICE for an INFERIOR product.
2021- AMD and Exynos: I see no god up here, OTHER THAN ME
Sadly the exynos is toe to toe with the a13 chip
Man like AMD comin in clutch yana big up exynos
Exynos team ! đŹ
Just find your channel and very nice videos on this great smartphone. Only need to wait Black Friday and maybe i find there great deal on this awesome phone. Hope you get soon 1 million subscribers and now you are 1 more closer on that mission. đ€©đ
Really good review , well rounded not like most of the other note 20 reviews . Fantastic channel .
Great review.
I pre-ordered mine soon as they were announced, needed to upgrade my note 9.
Not overly fussed about the processor difference as exynos will still perform well enough and with todays smart plans you can always upgrade when a better version comes out. Battery has always been crap on the notes so nothing new for me.
Big nice screen, good camera coupled with s pen and xbox gamepass makes it worth it for me.
Great vid as always! Exynos would have been fine for me (pending a camera comparison)... but coupled with a slower charging speed? Not really what that's about... Still considering this for an overdue phone update (still using mate20 pro) but will wait it out jic there would be a global release of mi 10 ultra
Do you have a link for the wallpaper? Quite amazing and nice vid as well.
Great review and format. Really good idea responding to the previous comments.
thanks!
This was a fantastic and unique way to review this phone by answering our questions! It made it both entertaining and informative. Well done mate.
Loved your review-cant wait for your next video-keep up the good work and takecare mateđđ
Got to say, I'm liking this new kind of review video from you... instead of just getting one comparison, we get comparisons for models we are interested in instead.
More like this please.
Great review thank you. Can I learn the camera you are vlogging with, the footage looks great.
The Snapdragon Vs exynos difference is unacceptable
Everyone: Great phone
Me: i want that wallpaper.
Lol I downloaded the wallpaper seeing it from the thumbnail. Changed my wallpaper after a long time :)
@@khalidsafi8568 Where to find it?
How'd you get the wallpaper?
Eh! Tom with another awesome video! Really loving the videos lately Tom!
Been waiting for this. â„ïž
Eagerly waiting for Samsung to address the biggest flaw... EXYNOS X AMD next year
can't wait!
Ankush yep my contract expires next year excited too.
That might be happening in 2022 according to some sources...
@@alexwhitton1 yeah bad news i read them too.
@@alexwhitton1 I'd prefer AMD to be late rather than getting beat by A15 next year.
I love your wallpaper!
Love ur review, actually one of the best note20 u reviews out there. Especially where u answer comment questions.
Fab video, love this format!
So basically the Exynos model should take a 20-30% price cut to be on par with SnapDragon.
should.. wont
The Exynos version have more storage, correct?
@@tttuberc yes but to me that doesn't sweeten the deal at all. So what you have more space if device is slower and needs charging more often which will lead to faster battery wear.
@@rkgracanica obviously :)
@@pawelnotts agree that extra storage does not worth the performance or battery wears. I would prefer the faster and longer battery life too. But I think that's what they use to make up the cost difference between the Samsung and Qualcom CPU.
Who like me is watching lot of CZcams reviews waiting for pre Oder to arrive in đșđž
Ordered today!
Thomas Reese Got mine delivered today đ
Hey Tom, I was wondering, do you get any overheating or throttling on the Exynos variant?
Thanks for review ! :) Good content!
Getting pretty frustrated now about the Exynos situation. Ready to buy a new phone but just can't do it knowing its inferior to the snapdragon model. Damn you Samsung.
Ive used both phones for a couple to three days each, and i can say that there's no big difference. Sure, if you're a heavy gamer or a heavy user, you might experience some heat and/or throttling, but for simple everyday use (casual instagram, youtube, messenger and whatnot) its still an amazing phone. The exynos variant surely is inferior, but still a beast. When the swap between my SD and Exynos happened, i barely noticed a difference, if someone didnt tell me the switch happened, i wouldnt even have noticed! I think people are frustrated because you pay same price for less performance, but at the end of the day, both exynos and sd are incredibly good-performing and well-built for everyday use!
@@sangwoo_1220 how have you found the battery between them? I'm not too concerned about performance in terms of speed etc, my biggest concern is battery life.
Ha ha
Super nice review. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G offers pretty much every feature any phone owner could want. It has a gorgeous screen, classy hardware, wicked performance, good battery life, and capable cameras. It's also huge, heavy, and as pricey as they come đđđ
I'm not convinced
Thank you for posting such a comprehensive review. I appreciate all the comparison shots, and you managed to really illustrate the differences, as well as highlight the specs. Thanks again, best note 20 review I have watched so far (and I have watched them all)LOL.
Great review. Is there room for an SD card in addition to the dual SIM or is it still one or the other ĂĄ la the Note 8?
Was kinda excited to upgrade from my Redmi Note 5 to the new Note 20, but the Exynos chip that we will be getting here for our variant (Malaysia) is actually making me think twice
8:50
I'm startled when you mention my IG name. That would be as close as my face getting appeared on TV lmao. Thanks Tom, very much appreciated đ
Feeling the Exynos pain here in Australia. Great video mate. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Fab review mate. Where you get that stormtrooper wallpaper?
7:58 I'm calling the pun police. Puns are not allowed.

It's been a while since I actuallu enjoyed watching a phone review video, this was dope
I don't know whether I'm hoping or dreading other channels poaching the question-based review thing
I LOVED this new style of video Tom đ Keep it up lad!
Where do you get your wallpapers?
Nice review!!!
Let the reviews begin!!!
The price is so absurd that i just lost interest in ultra ,plus exynos and small battery , nah .
Exactly.. Im saying the same. Its not worth the price!!!!!!!!!! Not even 2/3 . Note 10+ all the Way. Or Huawei.
You are amazing!
I love watching your opinion
i continue to enjoy your videos chap. your killing it. awesome setup. your style is exciting. keep it up buddy.
7:57 "that's pretty noteworthy", I see what you did there...
The exynos version is performing worse than my 1 year old OnePlus 7 Pro in geekbench đł
Geekbench is shit i have exynos 9820 and in single core its gets 920 sd 865+ 940 wtf multi was around 2600.
Great video and love the QA format.
Great review subscribed to your channel đ
20% difference between Exynos and Snapdragon... yet the same pricing... đ Bye Samsung, have fun screwing over your (EU) customers.
Move to the US and you'll get snapdragon.
It actually costs quite a lot more in the uk than the US
And the Indian ones.
We have more storage for same price in EU.
Ikr like I might aswell just get a oneplus
Only a few reviewers mentioned that in some regions Note20 Ultra comes in 4G variant with both Exynos and 8 Gb of ram. (yeah, those versions exist)
2020. Samsungs are great phones to skip and wait for S21 (or whatever it will be named) unless you really really need upgrade.
With sales of S20 and now Note20 series that are not so good, hopefully people from Samsung will figure out that we want GREAT phones for over 1000 bucks price and that making different phones for different markets is not great idea. Paying near 1500 bucks and recieving phone with this much compromises and "yeah it's good but.." is absurd. Not to mention S20 Ultra hardware issue that they promissed will be "fixed through future updates" and that didn't happen.
Great review man. Link to your stormtrooper background? đ
Hi, it was my first time watching your video. i liked the way you explained, although it was not best comparison video but totally the explanation had a natural flavor... in a different and nice way, that's why i just hit the subscribe button and liked your video!
Imported my snapdragon Note 10 plus through WondaMobile. Was in the Netherlands within 8 working days. It came with a EU charger (UK if you are in the UK) and it came with a case too. It was cheaper with shipping included than a new Exynos model in my country which doesn't come with a case either!
If you want a snapdragon model, you might want to have a look at them. I mean, the snapdragon version is night and day compared to the Exynos version I had before. Battery, heat management, pictures and videos, it is all better on the snapdragon.
niice! I might do the same
The Tech Chap do you think upgrading from an iPhone 11 Pro is worth it? I can either get an iPad, or the new Samsung phone. Great video as always Tom!
Baby Yoda Just get the iPad. If you really want to upgrade to a Note, wait for the next one. From the 11 Pro it would be that much of an upgrade
Only thing with wonda is VOLTE and Samsung Pay won't work.
Can vouch for this. Bought my snapdragon s20 Ultra with 16gb, 512gb ram. Wonda was amazing. Hong Kong phones have UK plug.
Note 20 ultra - best phone by far, Tom - cutest tech vlogger by far :D
You may be looking at Him, But I, on the other hand, think his GF/Wife is beautiful. Of course, with all due respect lol
@@Kiss__Kiss yes comments with all due respect đ
I like your all video,your video are osum and easy to understand with detail
Finally, a video with timestamps... much appreciated!
4:07 that was from unbox therapy
And I didn't see the difference
But the note 20 vanilla was a bit more zoomed out
I'm NEVER gonna buy a samsung phone if they charge me SAME PRICE for an INFERIOR processor. PLEASE SAMSUNG. STOP this.
does the processor makes you phone to your mom faster ? Moron
Philippe Rostin fanboy. Exynos is shit
@@philipperostin so you buy this phone just to call your mom? you're stupid just buy a Nokia 3310 it will work fine and last longer. People are buying these new phones because they want to multi task. Game, call, office work....
Thanks for a great review. I usually end up watching 2-3 reviews and this style was very refrshing!
great review. thanks mate
I am in EU, and I would only buy it if I could get Snapdragon version. Exynos version I won't even consider it.
Among all the boring reviews I've seen, this i my favorite review video.
Love this style!
"Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Is Best".
1300⏠for Exynos. Haha NEVER!
Hope u get to that 1M subs as fast as possible your content is really great
Great review! Something new in the review! Liked this format more and yeah thanks for including my name đ€đŒđ€đŒ
Just bought note 10+ for 700$ and am inlove with it so much 2weeks now cant stop using it lol
Best phone
how did u get it for 700 is that a used one? All the prices i see are at 1099 still! The lowest i saw it was last christmas for 750. I hope it goes on sale for at least 800 im on a sammy s5 still lol
@@peterc504 bought it from someone who used it for 1 month....
He's rich af now he's on note 20 ultra...lol
But u can get brand new for 790$

@@peterc504 kenya
Done with my pre-order already.
Yes, exynos version.
Couldn't help myself.
Same, most of the people that are whining about exynos are not even planning on buying a phone.
@@Competitief true. If they don't like it they can just not buy it. It's not like Samsung is ignoring them considering the big change in Exynos next year.
@@AFT2 They spend like 4 hours a day typing shit about it, they're just obsessed with the phone đ€Ł
EU Stan fuck every con the exynos have to the sd+ ,but the battery draining faster is really a pain in the ass
@@Competitief exactly. I was saving up for it. Finally it's here. Apart from the battery draining issue (which I'm hoping would get better with updates) I'm not that much worried. Exynos or Sd+ it's a beast of a phone without doubt.
Great video. Anwered all the important questions. Beautiful, well stacked phone, just a shame thatÂŽs it extremly expensive.
Hey Tom, do you think the camera needs to have a protector installed on it? Although I want to protect it I also don't want to compromise the quality of pictures
I think one of the things to bear in mind is that, when you're reflecting on whether itâs worth to upgrade, the vast majority of users are not thinking about upgrading if they're on the Note 10+, or the S20 Ultra. Most people upgrade every two years. I'm on the S9 Plus right now, and I'll be upgrading to the Note 20U, and I think that's more representative of when most people upgrade their phones
Yeah, I upgrade every three years so no matter what people say, its always a substantial upgrade
Can we just appreciate how charming that man is? đ€Ș
Gay?
That was a good review!đ
I have a question , can you add a photo on top of the photo while using the spen or notes for screenshot edits ?
I'm fully aware of the Exynos vs Snapdragon issue, but I have yet to have any issues with the Exynos devices and I had every damn Note in existence. I know I'm getting worse performance, but the performance I get is always top tier, especially the battery life.
Everyone: This has a bad processor. Not going to buys *riot riot riot*
Me who doesn't care about the processor: hmmmmmm...i think I'll be able to buy this phone in 2050 (IF we get past this 2020 somehow)
Awesome review keep it up as always đ
Hi would it be worth upgrading from a note 8? Also do they have the "copper cooling pipe" etc? That were said to be missing in another review? (And phones were over-heating)
I went for OnePlus as soon as I've heard we're getting Exynos again!
Imagine not having a snapdragon lol
Great product and perfect review!
Thanks for the video. Canât wait for mine!
Two horrible geese!
Why is untitled goose game not on mobile :(
You look absolutely horrifying in those night selfies đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
that's just my normal face ;)
Hey, can recommend what setting for colour mode is the best? Currently on vivid mode with RGB max.
Is there any lag using wireless DeX for productivity? How's the battery consumption with DeX wireless?
I am losing the lower part of the video when playing youtube videos in TV-mode using my Note 10+. Is it worse og better on the Note 20 Ultra? I sometimes lose part of subtitles or all the subtitles - annoying. TV-mode meaning holding the phone in a horizontal position.
Weird question, but can you use your note 20 ultra as a remote if using on it on a Samsung or LG tv anyhow? Not just with Dex? I cant currently use a tv you see, as due to my disabilty I have no movement from below my neck down (so I cannot use a remote, even the ones with voice control as they require pressing a button). I can use a mouthstick stylus to use my phone (Note 8) so figured if there was an app or way to use it as a remote with a smart tv that would be great. I'm not currently going to buy a smart tv unless I can find a way to use one handsfree either with voice control or a remote app.
In London, any idea where one can buy the Snapdragon version from...websites/import stores ? any help appreciated
Compared with the scores of Snapdragon and Exynos, I think the important thing is whether there is a difference between battery life and the experience of taking pictures and playing games
