O showmetech received a copy of Galaxy note 20 ultra, a model that features improvements in cameras, improved S Pen and a larger screen than the base model. You can check below our impressions about this top-of-the-line cell phone, whose suggested price by Samsung is R$7.999,00.
design and performance sn2m
Reminiscent of the design of the Note 10 Plus predecessor, the Galaxy note 20 ultra it has a slightly more curved screen on the sides, characteristic of the Galaxy line, but without abandoning the rectangular style, which is predominant. Smartphone glass is the newly launched Gorilla Glass Foods, quite resistant and that, according to the manufacturer, can withstand drops of up to two meters. However, we have not tested this functionality for obvious reasons. There are three colors available: Mystic Black, Mystic Bronze and Mystic White.
In addition, the screen lock and volume buttons have moved back to the right side of the phone, after being moved to the left side on the Note 10. This is a welcome return given that many s have complained about the sudden change on the previous model. . Following the same line, the compartment where the S Pen is kept has also changed places, going to the left side.
The biggest annoyance about the design is the camera module. As it needs to house three cameras, a laser sensor and a flash device, the module becomes a very noticeable spine on the back of the cell phone and that ends up getting in the way, especially when writing with the S Pen. This problem can be easily solved with a case, but it is important to note that it is there.
The battery of the Galaxy note 20 ultra is a little more powerful than the basic model: it came with 4300 mAh, while the Ultra version has 4500 mAh. Considering the improvements of many functions, it was to be expected that the battery would come with at least 5000 mAh. Not that it's bad, but the device can hardly spend the whole day away from the socket. The 25W charger gives the device more power in a few minutes, which makes it very versatile. In addition, it is possible to recharge it using wireless charging, where the power becomes 15W.
The eight-core processor Galaxy note 20 ultra is Exynos 990. A curious fact is that the United States received the cell phone with a more advanced processor, the Snapdragon 865 Plus, while the other markets in the world received with the Exynos 990. Although the performance for this review of Galaxy note 20 ultra was great, it is necessary to comment on how hot the device can get. Because he heats up. And it gets pretty hot, even with an internal cooling system.

The most obvious and easily noticeable change when compared to the Galaxy Note 20 is the screen size, which on this model is 6,7 inches. At 6,9 inches, the Galaxy note 20 ultra is a true titan. Some people may even find this size uncomfortable, but it is perfect for what the smartphone proposes, especially with the S Pen in Game. Writing using it is simply amazing, largely in part because of too much space.
The display is 1440p resolution (also called Quad HD) and variable refresh rate — a function that is not present in the simplest model. This means you can choose up to 120 hertz for certain actions and 60 hertz for others. This allows for a very interesting fluidity, especially when it comes to games, and helps to conserve battery life.
In the same vein, the quality of the images is magnificent and stable — it was possible to see everything that was on the screen and with quality regardless of the ambient light, whether it was a ray of light coming directly from the sun or artificial light of dubious origin. Given the size of the screen, it is impressive that the image manages to maintain itself at this quality.
S Pen 2m2l4y
A S Pen is the traditional pen of the Note line. It was already fast on the base model, with 42 milliseconds of response time, but it got even better on the Galaxy note 20 ultra, with a measly 9 milliseconds of response time. This makes writing practically synchronous with the movement of the pen, making it very easy to take notes.
Among its functions, we can highlight its compatibility with the application Samsung Notes, the native smartphone notebook. There is a very interesting tool that allows the to write even when the screen is in sleep mode — the text will be saved just the same. In addition, the program recognizes the 's handwriting, no matter how bizarre, and can transform the handwriting into digital text, in various formats.
For those who usually write a little crooked, the pen has a very interesting function of straightening the text. It is also possible to merge text and image and text and audio, writing while the cell phone captures a lecture, for example.
Nevertheless, the S Pen has a side button whose commands can be customized by the . You can take pictures, browse the media gallery, change music on the playlist and pretty much do whatever you want. In this sense, the can use water actions (aerial movements, in free translation) to access the cell phone. For example, drawing a V backwards makes the Galaxy note 20 ultra go back to the home screen. It looks like something interesting at first, but if you're not used to the pen, it's not very useful.
Cameras 353z5z
O Galaxy note 20 ultra had some improvements with regard to cameras. It continues with the 10-megapixel front lens and the three rear lenses, but the main lens is now 108-megapixels. In addition, there is the ultra wide angle, 12 megapixels and another telephoto, also with 12 megapixels and optical zoom up to 5 times, ensuring good quality photos regardless of style.
A critical point in Samsung's cameras is the excessive smoothing of people's faces, and the Note 20 Ultra did not present a correction in this aspect. Even when the “face filter” is turned off, the camera software changes the sharpness, leaving people's features looking less natural. “Dynamic Focus”, the name of Portrait Mode on Samsung smartphones, also makes more mistakes when trying to blur the background of the image. It's close to competitors Apple's iPhone 11 Pro and Google's Pixel 4 XL, but they still win at this point.
The ultra wide-angle lens is ideal for taking pictures of large groups or larger spaces, but it needs good natural lighting for the best possible result. The camera intended for telephoto style with 5 times optical zoom, can achieve a full approximation of 50 times by combining it with the digital zoom, ideal for long-distance photos.
Unlike the Note 20, the Galaxy note 20 ultra It is also equipped with a laser focus sensor, which can stabilize the focus even in the middle of video recordings. This tool, combined with the professional mode, which allows you to change settings such as audio, exposure and local lighting, and contributes greatly to maximizing the power of the camera's videos, which can be recorded in 8K at 24 frames per second, the highest resolution available in a smartphone sold in Brazil.
Software 1j2c25
We have already mentioned, even if briefly, some of the tools available in Samsung Notes. They were not the only ones to be implemented in the software of the new device, which was directly benefited by the partnership between Samsung and Microsoft.
Using Samsung DeX, the will be able to access up to five mobile applications using the screen of a device that has the Windows - O Galaxy note 20 ultra will recognize the computer as a second screen, but which is independent of the smartphone and can, for example, run the Instagram while you watch a video on your cell phone. This function is easy to recognize and only requires that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that it is the same . Microsoft on both devices.
In addition, digital game enthusiasts can connect a Xbox to better enjoy the games in your library using your cell phone, via streaming from the xCloud. This service will be launched this September, so it's important to keep an eye on it.
Another very welcome announcement from the Samsung is that s of the latest cell phones released will have access to future updates of the operating system for three years. That is, whoever has a Galaxy note 20 ultra will be able to access the Android 11, 12 and 13.
