Shorter, wider, thicker, no micro SD, and weaker speakers. I will keep my Note 20 Ultra another year.

Don't feel like I'm missing out on anything with my Note 20 Ultra now! Great comparison video.

[sandeshraut]

note 20 ultra sd 865+ variant is still beast of a performer, it looks so stylish even better than most of the 2022 flagship phones.. i am the person who upgrade the phone every year(i also have 13 pro max) but this time i am keeping this note and have no plans to upgrade..i love note 20ultra more than any device I've used till date

[saadeddinehabbal]

I had the Note 20 Ultra and Pre-ordered the S22 Ultra. Within 24 hrs it was very obvious that the upgrade was not worth it at all so I returned the S22 Ultra and kept my note. Also... SD card is sacred... The phone will have to be realllly convincing for me to let that feature go.

Saw somebody on Reddit recommending to change EQ settings:

"Second thing, I found that the sound of my s21 ultra was a bit better than my s22 ultra, I've checked the equalizer inside of mu s21U and adjusted my s22u to the same EQ, I barely noticed the difference now. Here's how I've put my equalizer (link)."

The link led to a screenshot where it shows:

250Hz boosted by 3 levels

500 and 1KHz boosted by 2 levels

4K, 8K + 16KHz lowered by 2 levels

All other frequencies left at 0dB change.

Other commenters after trying this said that it sounded near-identical to S21 Ultra especially after turning on Dolby Atmos - give it a try!

Who upgrade after 1 year or 1 year and half ? I still have my S8 and finally preoredred the S22ultra
If you change your phone every year you will not feel any difference . But changing it every 4 or 5 years is the treat

[ondrejsoukup]

I like design of cameras on S21 Ultra more than on S22 Ultra

[cuz]

As a Note 20 Ultra 5G user this reinforces my decision to wait until Samsung releases something truly better. It's a great phone that hasn't slowed down at all for the year and a half I've used it. In a way Samsung is being their own worst enemy by making phones so capable there isn't much reason to replace them often.

[vishnunellutla]

I personally think that the S21 ultra(S21 line in general) has one of the best, if not the best camera layouts/modules on any smartphone...It melts into the sides of the phone making it look so unique..

[slimb]

Was going to upgrade from my S10 plus to the S22 ultra but got a crazy deal on a S21 ultra 5g 256gb for 380! Going to wait until next years!

[michelleytanucan]

I just got my first ever flagship android and I never regret getting the note 20 ultra! The looks, things it can do and the chipset! People this phone is far ahead on its time

[Addakhel]

Great video Max!
I'm sticking to my Note 20 Ultra. It has better speakers, micro SD slot and better haptic motor!

[blacar]

Great video. I have the Note 20 Ultra and didn't see enough of a difference to justify upgrading. Ur comparison further confirms that. Thanks

[RennieAsh]

Louder doesn't mean better sound quality. Also I don't listen to my phone while it's lying on a desk for the most part.
I also turn Dolby off.
Volume at maximum volume also introduces compression.
It's not really the most accurate test imo. But I guess it fits most people's "brighter louder bigger is better" analysis

[sondesix_]

A good comparison!

Btw, if you want to make the brightness brighter on the S22 Ultra, turn auto brightness off and then turn extra brightness on. And do not switch the performance mode to maximum, just leave them on optimised.

[busterboy]

I personally think that the cers housing on the S21 ultra is clearly the best looks wise and protection wise.

[akliadjabi]

The S21 U definitely has the best camera design 😎

I currently own a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and I can say that I'm happy with it.. I'm still using it until now.. Every new models, Samsung obviously bumped up the performance and capability.. No point Samsung come up with new models which performs similar to it's predecessors.. 🤣 But knowing that my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is using Exynos and not the Snapdragon SOC, it is slow than Note 20 Ultra in US.. Plus, the advantages of the Note 20 Ultra is its expanded storage.. My Note 20 Ultra Internal storage is 256GB and I purchased a Samsung Class 10 256GB SD Card by which my total storage is give or take 512GB (not inclusive of Android OS etc.) and still have extra space in both for many things.. So yea, newer models does offer better performance but the lack of SD Card support, that kills it.. Heck! I still have my Galaxy Note 9 used for Android Auto.. Finally, my Mystic White Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is still in pristine aesthetically and working condition, so why change it?

If pause at minute 11:33 you can notice that is not a 5G the speed test clearly say LTE even when the phone is showing you that you’re on 5G 😑.
