The Galaxy Note 20 was launched globally in August 2020 as part of Samsung’s famous Note lineup. It was introduced alongside the Note 20 Ultra and brought productivity features such as the S-Pen, a large AMOLED display, and multitasking tools. Samsung has now discontinued the Note series and merged its features into the Galaxy S Ultra models.
Important Considerations
- 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ FHD+ display with HDR10+ support and 60 Hz refresh rate.
- Powered by the Exynos 990 (global) or Snapdragon 865+ (USA/China) chipset.
- Triple rear camera system: 64 MP telephoto, 12 MP wide, 12 MP ultra-wide; 10 MP front camera.
- S-Pen stylus support with Bluetooth functions for productivity and creative use.
- 4,300 mAh battery with 25 W fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.
- Premium glass and metal design with IP68 water and dust resistance.
- Limitations: No 120 Hz refresh rate (unlike the Note 20 Ultra), plastic back instead of glass, and average battery life by today’s standards.
Better Alternatives
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra – Bigger display, 120 Hz refresh rate, higher-end cameras, and glass back.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra / S23 Ultra – Newer phones with S-Pen support, better performance, and long-term software updates.
- OnePlus 10 Pro – Modern flagship with 120 Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and fast charging.
- Xiaomi 12 Pro – Strong cameras, AMOLED display, and great performance at a lower price point in used markets.
