Our take on the Samsung SMN986UZKAUSC

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is Samsung's 2020 flagship phablet, built around a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a built-in S Pen. Its 108MP main camera and 12MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom were among the most versatile setups of its generation. It suits note-takers, stylus users and media watchers who want a large screen and a pen. Against newer flagships it trails on battery life and charging speed, and the Snapdragon 865 is a step behind current chips, but the S Pen and zoom camera still hold up.
