Note 20 Review: A Good Phone With a Bad Reputation

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 has been making big waves in the tech sphere...and not in a good way. But the Note 20 is NOT a bad phone. Here's why.

You gave the phone a chance instead of joining the hate train, refreshing content right here

[jmboyd]

This is what I've been wanting for years. Plastic back so its light and I can't crack it. Get rid of the stupid curves. I'm pumped about this phone.

[arisaardi]

More like a good phone with a bad pricing i say..

[ChipMatthews]

I just bought this phone to replace my seven year old Note 3. Do I wish it was cheaper? Sure, but I paid $700 for the Note 3 and this is a much, much better phone. I think the plastic back thing is ridiculous. Unless you're buying it as a status symbol, who cares? Frankly I'd rather have a back that's less likely to shatter. Until there's a true S-pen competitor this is the most affordable way to get one, and it's all about the S-pen. I have no regrets and I'll be happy to use it for the next seven years.

FINALLY, someone who talks about why I chose the Note 20! Thank you!!! (and yes, I'm getting it at a cheaper price with my carrier)

I'm watching this video 6 months later, and I bought it for 650$ 🤣.
It's an amazing phone, from the battery to the camera to the resolution, overall for 650$ it's a great phone, but i still don't get why people a reviewing it badly just because of its plastic cover and other useless specs that 99% of people would not notice when comparing to the ultra.
I highly advise buying it

[skyefio]

I chose this phone over the ultra because it fits my budget (got it for $600 when I renewed my plan + I was given free buds+), it's just the right size for me and the flat screen made writing notes a joy. I don't care about refresh rates or the plastic back. Overall, it's still an outstanding phone for the work that i do.

[anthonybrazzle]

I personally don't care about price, as long as the longevity is there 🤷🏾‍♂️ and to be honest, any phone priced at or above $1, 000 will bring DROVES of people complaining about the price, no matter how good or bad it is. It's just funny watching people tear the standard Note 20 to shreds over price, when most people are going to either skip the lineup altogether, or buy the standard one because it's simply costs less & is almost indistinguishable from the ultra in the eyes of most.

[markstutzman]

All very good points! Not gonna lie you have me questioning again why I bought the Ultra -- Note 20 is cheaper, lighter (I appreciate that), flat screen, better battery...nice review!

[richardstaples]

The plastic back also makes the phone 20g's lighter than the glass-backed "Ultra". That's why I'm buying it as my 4th NOTE phone!

[christopherrodier]

For the $312 I paid after trade in, its a amazing phone!

[psymonologyle]

I got this phone for 300 bucks. Absolutely loved it

[kenbee]

If I had a penny for every, "Don't buy this phone" review


I could afford the Note 20 outright

[DanielKrennonline]

I just ordered this phone. Plastic was fine for years. Ever since they started using glass backs, I have had consistent cracking issues even while using cases.. I welcome the return the flat glass and plastic backs. Thank you Samsung for listening. With google photos you really don't need more than 128gb memory. 120Mz screen only sucks battery life. No need for it. People have been complaining about prices going up, glad to see manufacturers reacting to these concerns. Well, accept for the over priced and over hyped iPhone. Screen repairs are also considerably less .... $210 vs $300. Paid 699 through Samsung trading in my s9+ with shattered back glass and cracked front glass! Not a bad deal.

[mokong]

Great review Mark. You are right, not everyone will purchase the phone with it's full price. I'M in the market for a note and planned to trade in my 2 year old S9 that has cracked screen and a battery that drains so fast that it won't last me half a day. I just want a regular note 10 and I figured that the price will drop with the release of the note 20 series. To my surprise. Samsung offered $300 off if I purchase the regular Note 20 compared to just $200 for the regular note 10. Plus they took off $100 when I purchased the buds live. Saved a total of $400. So all those negative reviews helped a lot in dropping the price🤣🤣 Samsung accepted my trade in. Not bad for a $700 phone. But definitely not worth $1000.

Watching from my note 20. Switched from iPhone and got it unlocked for $600 with an Otterbox. Im impressed.

[billynunns]

I'd rather have the plastic back than glass. More durable and not easily broken

[eduardovazquez]

Flat screen, spen, good battery, good enough screen, good cameras, it is just what I was looking for. Except for the price but I just got mine, here in mexico,
I got a great deal with my carrier ($615 american dollars). Great purchase, great review!!

[jprescottirl]

got the phone two days ago, traded my galaxy s9+ and got half off !! I love this phone!

[avnish_rana]

Unfortunately I get the Exynos variant in my country and it sucks.
