The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra demonstrates Samsung’s unwavering commitment to continuing to produce premium smartphones in the Galaxy Note line. With features that improve the Samsung Galaxy Note device in practically every way, it succeeds the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus from a year ago. Compared to the Galaxy Note 20, it is a little more upscale.
The chassis design and construction of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra are improvements over what we got with the Note 10 ultra last year. It is a more impressive configuration that is appropriate for a Galaxy Note.
The Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back panels, which boasts a 2m drop protection as well as double the scratch resistance of the Gorilla Glass 6 on the Note 10 plus, is the first sign of the device’s more robust construction.
Regarding security, you also receive an IP68 designation for water and dust resistance, which is essentially the norm for the majority of high-end Android smartphones. It can withstand 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes according to its IP68 rating. The huge 6.9-inch display on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has a resolution of 1440 x 3088 and a pixel density of 496 PPI.
There is a 0.1-inch difference in size when compared to the Note 10 Plus. Based on Super AMOLED display 2 technology, this display promises more vibrant colours. Additionally, you get an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, which automatically decreases when performing jobs that don’t demand a refresh rate as high as 120Hz.
The 120Hz refresh rate and the 1440p resolution cannot be combined, much as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Before using the 120Hz refresh rate, Samsung wants enthusiasts to lower the resolution to 1080p.
Turning to the back, we see a camera bump with a square shape that contains three cameras and an LED flash. Additionally, the Samsung branding lets us know that this is a Samsung smartphone.
