The enhanced S Pen gestures – where you wave the stylus around like a magic wand – are a bit gimmicky, but using the stylus’s button as a camera remote is handy. It is very similar to that running on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but adds a few software features for the S Pen stylus such as handwriting recognition, various screen writing and screenshot tools, translation and gesture support.

Samsung declined to provide an estimate for the expected lifespan of the battery in the Note 20 Ultra, which is typically 500 full charge cycles while maintaining at least 80% capacity for other rechargeable batteries. Fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are also available. While the battery life is not class-leading, it will make it through a single day without a problem.Ĭharging the Note 20 Ultra with the included power adapter was very fast, hitting 100% in under 70 minutes, matching the S20 Ultra and faster than the OnePlus 8 Pro. On very heavy-use days, spending most of the day on 5G out and about and using the camera a lot, the Note 20 Ultra still ended the day with at least 15% left. The Note 20 Ultra managed just under 30 hours between charges with the screen on little more than four hours in that time.ĭuring testing the phone spent about three hours on 5G, the rest on wifi, the screen was set to the default dynamic 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The Note 20 Ultra performed essentially the same as the S20 Ultra, which meant it felt fast and snappy throughout, handling games and other intensive tasks without breaking a sweat.īattery life was disappointing compared with the 38 hours of the S20 Ultra, or rivals such as the OnePlus 8 Pro that last 32 hours. In the US it has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ instead. The Note 20 Ultra ships in Europe with Samsung’s latest Exynos 990 processor, the same used in the S20 Ultra. The USB-C is socket in the bottom of the phone is the only port available.
