It's sad that these phones have to be forced to use the 5G modem. If the Note 20 was 800 it wouldn't be that bad. I don't know how well the Note 10 lite sold but maybe with a few more compromises and a starting price of $500-600 then it would be more of a compelling argument. I'll be holding of in buying a 5G until my current smartphone dies. Maybe in 4-5 years, 5G will be ubiquitous and affordable so it cost me an arm and an leg to jump onto the next generation of technology instead of the hype train or the current buzz worthy trend "I am suppose to be on".

@Arasu Filvendor I mean in 2019 Samsung was third and fourth for the most popular smartphones sold; it was the A10 and A50 that sold well. So if you make a plastic phone you have to price it for what people think it is worth it. The Note is supposed to be the premium line. Samsung, Please don't nickel and dime your customers.

I know, right? Like when did a glass phone that could shatter just by looking at it, become the standard. Remember when we used to worry about just the screen shattering. Well, now we have to worry about the entire phone shattering. These reviewers have been brainwashed into thinking that glass means premium. It's what's under the hood that matters, right?

@@chuckfriebe843 The problem was that people were complaining when Samsung was making plastic phones. The best selling Samsung were the S3 and S4 which sold about 70 million and 80 respectively. The S5 did terrible with only 40% of that number and then Samsung decided to move to a "premium" material; glass. Sales did better with the S7 and S8 and Samsung decided to stick with that design language. It seems like the rest of the industry saw that. So the rest of the industry followed. I think Samsung tried to keep the plastic look or the more rugged phone with their active line. There was an Active S6, S7, and S8. Apparently, this line never did so well so the Active line was dropped; there was no Active S9 or Active S10. I think the problem was that the Active line cost about $100 more which people could buy a $30 case and provide the same protection. These companies just make what people demand and apparently people like a sexy fragile phone yet probably 70% of those people also put a thick case on their phones. There is only a niche market of people who still enjoy the plastic phone or the removal battery. There are still phones out there like that but it no longer the flagship or the mainstream phone you find at your local store. The only exceptions are the mid-range phones that still use plastic; look at Samsung's A series.

Excellent review... very thoughtout with actual valid comparisons. One of the best I've seen for the note 20. Thank You 👍

Thank you for the comparison. You've sold me! My favorite part about the Note20 vs the Note20 Ultra: no Edge!

This was the best review I have ever watched on any product! Your investigative passion, multiple item comparisons, and friendly personality made this a video well worth watching. (Your speaking skills rock too, which is sometimes a hard find these days.)

So precise and to the point. highlighting stuff which actually matters to users rather than some fancy stuff which are just appealing not useful. Very rare type of reviews as most of them go with the trend and keep bashing or praising things which won't actually matter to users in long run. Great work.

Again, a smartphone review with context and great points for people to Note (pun intended) if they aren't aware of the things driving phone prices up and the biases of the "specs" that people actually want versus what they realistically need. Great review!

Thanks for the insightful review. I have a note 8 and am considering upgrading to a Note 20. I'm an S pen user, note taker, scribbler, amateur sketcher and amateur photographer. I use my stylus for work on a daily basis and use it to navigate my phone. Personally, I find the plastic back to be an asset. I always use a case with my phone and feel that there is too much hype around the glass back. Considering that I won't even look at a glass back, I prefer to have a lighter phone. I do think the phone is too expensive but there is no other phone on the market that meets my wants/needs and I'm certainly not willing to spend the extra money on a Note Ultra. Again, thanks for the informative, insightful review :)

Perfect job! The review I was looking for due to Note 20.

This is such a great review!

You've used it for 2 weeks and that's fine. But if you were to use it long term, I think you'd find the lack of an SD card on a 128GB phone that costs $1000 unacceptable and a no-go. The worst part is it doesn't cost them anything at all. Instead of a dual sim, they just use a hybrid sim slot. The cost of the parts would be minimal to the ponit of nil. It seems like they intentionally gimped it to up the Note 20 ultra. All the others you could forgive and live without. But on a 4k camera 50MP photo phone, 128GB is nothing.

You have great content.. well done ..

Great video. I've seen open boxes for the Note 20 unlocked at Best Buy for $640 that were in great shape. If I was in the market I'd seriously consider it but I'm still enjoying (and paying) for my LG V60. The plastic back doesn't bother me as I'm usually using a case and I prefer the flatter screen versus curved.

I've had this phone for 4 months and have just looked at these reviews.It was the perfect phone for me.I have been buying LG flagships since the Galaxy s 7 because I hate the edge display.Now that lg isn't going to sell phones I'm so glad this is flat.You made a point I've been saying why do we care about the back it's usually in a case.Ive broken the back of every one that has glass except 1.I love this phone people should still get one today.

Way too expensive. There really is no reason for any phone to be $1000 or more. Even with a glass back, wireless charging, or even the crazy camera arrays.

7:38 Hey Josh, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 1242p screen, not Full HD (1080p). Just want to get the fact right, because as someone who spent most of my days looking at all kind of screens, 1242p looks better than 1080p, not by much but still noticable.

The fun part is both plastic and glass back cost about the same in the production... people are easy too fool. „More Premium“ is merely subjective.

i have an s10 in the rainbow silver, but i was paranoid about dropping it so i bought a case, but it had to be a clear case so i could still see the wonderful colour i ordered it in, no point having a case that hides the colour you love and order it in

Fantastic production as always Mike! Love the content and quality editing! The Note 20 is a good buy for me because Samsung gives me $550 for my Note 9 for trade-in. They will only give me $250 for the Note 9 if I buy the A71, which then only brought the Note 20 within $100 difference to the A71.

In real life, the Note 20's screen looks better than my Note 9's, brighter, bigger. And no matter how many time I switched back and forth on my Note9 from FHD÷ to WQHD+, I can not tell the difference. Since battery life is very important for me, if I get the Ultra, I would run it at FHD+ 60fps anyway. As far as the premium feel, no matter what phone I get, I have always had them inside a case. So in the past when I chased phones with special colors, I don't see it anyway. With those reasons, I am a good candidate for Note 20. 5G speed and reception in Houston does make a big difference vs LTE
