Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Just now ordered this phone. Got a great deal! Priced at $1,100, Verizon gives a $450 instant rebate, and I got a $300 trade in on my Galaxy S9. Looking forward to the bigger and better screen.
I think the Only thing you forgot to mention was that they did away with the headphone jack… I might be returning mine just because of this…
No but its worth 1k with black friday deals
An excellent review with a lot of candor. I admit the frankness shocked me at first but it makes it feel extremely trustworthy.
I have no issues with the curved edged display but its too big and bulky to be used comfortably.
Does this phone come with call sensor coz loos like mine doesn't?
Never had any problems with the fingerprint sensor. It’s very accurate. Only missed when I place my finger in the wrong place. But at this point after using the phone a month I’ve basically memorised the placement n rarely get it wrong. Muscle memory or wtv it’s called. Y’all just using it wrong Lol.
Why do they call it the note 20? They skipped a bunch of numbers ?
I won't be listening to your reviews… your Note reviews are about the cost justifying the price… but your iPhone reviews are about how "outstanding" the iPhone is….. its not a fair assessment
I like the zoom. If you’re somewhere like Grand Canyon you want to zoom in close you can it’s a great feature if you really want to just get out Tripod
I love CNET reviews because they are short and sweet. This one has gone over 12 mins and my attention drifted after after the sixth minute
I don't after buying it also i am checking these kind of videos:p
Never clean it?? Dam you're pretty dirty, Karen 😂
Great review thank you.
Kudos to you. You are the ONLY video to point out that "mystic" doesn't mean matte finish for black or white colors. What a shame Samsung confused everyone into thinking it did.
The phone is too large. My word. I would never use all of those functions and 1300.00 is too steep a price for most people. However, the presentation was excellent and professional in nature.
I love to buy the Note 20 Ultra but the $1300 plus taxes is something to think about. Samsung didn´t think we are in a pandemic and the worst recession since 1929.
If samsung would update there phones to get 120 rr with 4k to work i would totally buy it
Does android play work consistently or does it kick u out
Wtf thicker bezels? GTFOOH haha
I always attach a popsocket to my case so I don't think the camera bump would be much of an issue for me. I think I am going to buy this phone( I use the popsocket as a stand as well)so I think the camera bump will be ok,Great review by the way 👍
bought one. nice camera!!
Bought one for 280 plus tax plus got 150 credit 🙂
Isn't this the same chic who made fun of the first Note? Yes she is, telling us to "skip over the Samsung galaxy Note completely" Now she wants to tell us the Note 20 Ultra is not worth it? CNET is so biased against anything that is not Apple, they hardly ever ask similar questions about Apple products, with their reviewers on the iPhone and iPad sounding more than marketing than reviews. What a shame.
1441$ after taxes not 1300 $ … should ask is it worth 1441$… I had it 2 weeks… honestly…ehhhh.. thinking of sending back
Yes it's the best
This size is just to damn big !!
I'll stick with my note 10 plus
I got and I love 💓 it…that’s it…
Using the Note 20 ULTRA, does it deserve the $1,300 price mark?
It was a sizzling 98 degrees on that Wednesday afternoon when my car stopped running. I had ran out of gas on a lonely two lane highway in Southern Texas. I had passed a gas station about 6 miles back. In front of me is some kind of structure but I can't quite make out what it is or how far it is. Is it abandoned? Is there help for me there? In which direction should I walk, back 6 miles to a known gas station or forward to a closer destination where there may be help? So I pulled out my S20 ultra, 100x zoom what was in front of me as I walked forward. Every 20 minutes or so I would repeat this until I was able to determine that it was indeed another gas station and it was about 2 miles from my car.
Thankful for that 100x zoom because many times during my walk i thought about turning around and walking towards the sure gas station behind me. I hope this makes sense but sometimes you don't know what's useful until you need something.
It's kinda funny, as I pulled out my s20 ultra to use It's 100x zoom, i never thought about picture quality or whether or I could post It's pictures on my social media.
Note 20 ultra users. Wave your phone around, next put your phone to your ear you can hear the camera focusing. Even when you not using the phone and camera. I find that kind of weird
You fall in love with the color then immediately cover it up with a case. Deeats the purpose of having a phone of any unusual color and a glass back.
No it is not worth it
Is it worth 1300. The answer is no. The phone is too heavy and doesn't fit well in the pocket, 120 Refresh rate waste battery and isn't always on.
Hmmmm Samsung note 20 ultra or 55inch Lg cx oled….🤔🤦🏽♂️
Respectfully, you can get two of these for $1600 with the bogo offers going around, or two regular Note 20s for $1000. I got the ultra from TMo and my wife got the Note. Our effective payout is $1300 or 650 per phone, which is an insane bargain. These deals are ubiquitous and you can sell your old phone on eBay and recoup some of the half-ish price you did have to pay.
Samsung makes the best phones out of everybody. Destroys Iphone and most others. 1300 is to much though. Ill stick with my LG V50 and buy a laptop with the left over money
