Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 256GB - Mystic Bronze - Unlocked (Renewed)

Product Information

Although dynamic range isn’t quite as extended as we’ve seen with some devices, and low-light images can be slightly underexposed, it does a good job overall. In very low-light scenes, however, the flash often triggers in flash-auto mode, resulting in underexposed backgrounds, slightly inaccurate color, and more noise. Limited by a 52 mm-equivalent tele-lens, detail on the iPhone’s 110 mm medium-range zoom shots is much lower than the Samsung, but it avoids artifact issues and is much more consistent in its resolution across the frame. If you're going to drop over a grand on a new smartphone, you might as well spend a couple of hundred more dollars or pounds and get the very best. You can see below that the edges of the subject are often blurred or display edge artifacts in preview, but the device renders improved subject segmentation in the final image.

In this section, we take a closer look at how each sub-score was determined and compare image quality against some key competitors. This was particularly true with strong backlighting, where the Note20 Ultra 5G tended to lock onto the background instead of on the main subject.Exposure and color are nice in night scenes captured using flash-auto mode, and although detail is a little low with some noise visible, the results are generally pleasant. The Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra use non-removable Li-Ion batteries, rated at 4300 mAh and 4500 mAh respectively. By comparison, the Galaxy S20 Plus with its 4,500 mAh battery lasted 10 hours and 31 minutes and 8:55 in 120Hz mode.

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G achieves a good Photo score of 122, but doesn’t quite reach the heights of our top performers for stills.Tested in its 4K/30 fps mode, the Note20 Ultra 5G achieved a Video score of 106 and the following sub-scores: Exposure (93), Color (95), Autofocus (81), Texture (84), Noise (92), Artifacts (77), and Stabilization (96). User Available Memory: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. After connecting to the TV I could use the Note 20 Ultra's screen as a touchpad to move the cursor around the display. The Note 20 Ultra also trailed the iPhone on our video editing test, taking took 1 minute and 16 seconds to the iPhone’s 45 seconds.

Samsung wants you to think that the Note 20 Ultra has it all, and it kind of does if you’re okay with its lack of truly fast 45W charging and the lack of a standard 3. We noticed some focus instabilities in our perceptual analysis, too with shots occasionally out of focus in both indoor and low-light conditions. Last but not least, you can mirror the Galaxy Note 20's interface directly on your Windows laptop and run apps from there. if you’re being pedantic), compared to the 48 MP Quad-Bayer sensor with a 103 mm lens on the S20 Ultra.We still found that some iPhone 11 Pro Max and Google Pixel 4 photos retained more detail in low-light situations, although Samsung seems to have improved its Night Mode over the last year, and side-by-side, no one is doing telephoto better than Samsung – unless you count Huawei’s non-Android phones. Powered by an octa-core CPU and 12 GB of RAM internal memory, there’s plenty of processing oomph for the multi-tasking professional. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review: What we like, what we don't : Read moreI purchased the Note 20 Ultra, and it is without a doubt the best phone I have ever owned.

The S-Pen has better latency at 26ms on the Note 20 and 9ms on the Note 20 Ultra, reduced from 42ms on the Note 10 and Note 10+. In reasonably well-balanced lighting, exposure and color are fairly accurate and again, noise and texture rendering is good, but exposures for high dynamic scenes aren’t accurate. Packed with the versatility of Bluetooth, gesture control and so much more, it's Galaxy's most powerful pen. Vodafone Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit lending and insurance distribution activity (Financial Services Register No. Samsung’s photo processing still aggressively smooths textures in low-light conditions if you look closely enough, although its Night Mode has gotten better.Noise is slightly more prevalent at long range compared to the best devices, but it’s not a major issue; and exposure, color, as well as artifacts, are well controlled. The Galaxy S20 lineup introduced a faster refresh rate to Samsung phones, delivering smoother scrolling as well as better visuals, especially for games and movies. I watched over an hour of Umbrella Academy on Netflix, streamed Spotify with the screen on for an hour and a half and played about 40 minutes of Fortnite.
