Renewed?

I know it says its renewed, but I feel like they just gave me a new phone. I can't find any kind of scratch or flaw on it.

Gorilla glass 6 is trash

Great phone love everything about it but the gorilla glass 6 is trash both screens broke within a couple weeks. Never dropped or abused just pulled out of pocket and the glass over the bulbs camera was shattered and so was the edge of the screen. I was driving it was in my front pocket which is plenty large to hold it. Had nothing else in my pocket other then a simple lighter both broken. They say it's the strongest glass for a phone but broke easier then any phone I've ever had

Slightly Disappointing

Upgraded from my galaxy note 8, which I loved, but it got too slow to continue to use reliably. "Upgraded" to the galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, expecting more features than my note 8, but I am pretty sure I lost some features. Does not support read receipts for messages.. figured you would at least get that for a phone that is over $1000. Phone does not have an iris scanner for unlocking phone, like the note 8 did, but i guess you trade off by having the in-screen fingerprint scanner, which works just ok.. for some reason the pen is on the left side of the phone now, which is a little less convenient for someone who is right handed. The Note 8 had a heartrate sensor, the note 20 got rid of that. The Note 8 had a 3D touch home button which was awesome, the note 20 does not have that either. But on the bright side the phone has a big battery, 5G, and is quite speedy.

I?m Pleased

I bought this phone for business purposes, and for that it is a great phone. I LOVE the customizability of the phone. The different themes and fonts are amazing. Please note my personal phone is an iPhone. Always has been, always will be. The reason for a taking off a star is because pictures I take on this phone and send to my iPhone are blurry, as are the videos. I don?t know how to fix this. I enjoy the phone. If you?re strictly android you?d love it. I don?t hate it at all. I just wish there was a way to fix the picture and video issue. The battery life is amazing. The feel of the phone is so great! The pen is clutch! Loveeee it! It?s a very nice phone for business and yes I can even see it as a great phone for personal. I just prefers the iPhone for my personal use. It?s nice having the best of both worlds!

Fingerprint

I now had my phone over 5 months and I am very happy how it worked up to now the only thing that bothers me alot is the fingerprint is not detected alwaysmost of the times is not. I had the Note 10 with the scanner on the back and it was amazing how almost instantly would recognize my fingerprint. If they had the option I change back to my old Note 10 phone just because of this issue. Or maybe that option is used in the future with new phones that will be great.

Poor quality control

I bought two of the note 20 ultra this year and both screens have shattered without being dropped and do cost about $450 each just for the part. One of them the back glass has shattered twice. I love the phone but the quality is not what the company claims. Don't bother with the ultra, if it cracks you may as well just buy another phone for the cost of the parts and the frustration.

The perfect Gaming,work Tool,& Photography phone!

as I said in the title ... this is... "The perfect Gaming,work Tool,& Photography phone" for me !!! I've yet to find a phone that has a camera like the one on this phone! I can use the 50X's zoom to take photos of stuff like the moon, sun, and even captures the stars on camera! No phone I've had in the past has ever been able to get the incredibly clear shots of the moon like this phone can. Nothing else even comes close! Great job Samsung! Please don't do away with the Galaxy Note series of phones! That would be super depressing that's for sure! I've had everyone since the 1st one! And I've loved everyone... but the 1st one! You gotta admit that one was a cool idea but it practically sucked in real life though!

Very dissatisfied

I bought this 3½ months ago because I'm a samsung fan but this one let me down. I love everything about this phone, but there are so many problems. The screen scratches super easy, the camera won't start up and I have to restart the phone to get it to work, and my microphones don't work anymore. Regretting not getting the s20 ultra simply because of the problems I've had.

FEEL LIKE I DOWNGRADED

I do not like this phone. I should have kept my galaxy note 10 plus. I feel like I downgraded. The material this phone is made out of is cheap looking. I just don't like the phone. It is just to much to list. The camera is good. The battery life on it sucks.

It won't let you down !

one of the best phone in the market right now with all the tweaks and fixes from s20 ultra (i am s20 ultra user as well). overall i am satisfied with the performance but only suggestion is if it also sports 16gb ram for 512gb variant like s20 ultra it would be high-end device in specs. other than autifocus i see s20 ultra and note 20 ultra camera are same in performance wise.

Battery life is a problem

great phone overall, however even with a case, the camera is huge, no screen proctor this time, the battery is the main problem, didn't expect this kind of performance from a note.
