Galaxy Note 20 Ultra vs S22 Ultra - Which is better? [2022] 

Note 20 Ultra GOAT

Still rocking the note 20 ultra... expandable storage

Except average battery life, my Note 20 Ultra still looks and feels as good as new. Bought it at the launch itself! That copper/bronze colour still looks soo dope on note 20 Ultra! May upgrade to S23 ultra , as i am hearing some vast battery life gains due to much more efficient chipset !

SD card slot automatically makes the Note 20 better.

Apart from all the comparison mentioned in video and the comments, lot of people don't know that N20U was the last phone (except foldables and wearables) to come with MST technology in Samsung Pay, which makes your card work even on old POS machines with just magnetic swipe and no NFC. S22U can't do that. It only works on NFC enabled POS machines. P.S.: I'm using N20U since past 2 years.

Watching it on my note 20 ultra ♡

Bought the note 20 ultra on launch day and still happy as hell with this phone :)

Got my Note 20 Ultra 2.5 years ago and it still runs perfectly and I can still get all day use out of the battery. I was gonna upgrade to the S23 Ultra but honestly can't justify it with as well as my N20U is still plugging along. I don't take a lot of pictures so the camera upgrade isn't that big a deal to me.

Great content. I have the note20 ultra, it's only a year old. And with the 1UI 5.0 and the Android 13 no need to upgrade yet.

I have the s23 ultra rn but I prefer the note 20 ultra. They need to bring back the galaxy notes 💯💯💯

Except for battery life, note 20 ultra is cool in all aspects.

Having the Samsung Note S20 Ultra for two years now, i am more than happy with the camera and the phone in general. My only complaint was the price tag.. Almost two grand in Australia , for a phone, is ridiculous. Because of the expense this was the first phone i have ever had insured... There is no way the first blurred shot used as a comparison, was taken properly.. It was completely out of focus.

Watching this on my Note 20 Ultra 5G, still love this phone.

I dont think the first zoomed shot comparison was justice to note 20 ultra, because despite having a 5x periscope optical focal length, it takes way sharper pictures at 50x unlike the one in the comparison

No phone without an SD card slot can call itself a "Pro." Any built-in memory screams consumer. There are many reasons why a removable card is better. The least of which is the protection of your data by keeping your phone and your SD card separate.

I have the standard note 20. Bought it back when it first came out. Best phone I've ever had. Love it so much.

After almost 2 years with my note 20 Ultra I'm going to be sad when I have to actually move it to my secondary phone for the newest version of the Galaxy Note cuz that's what I still call them. Only thing they need to do is bring back the SD slots that'll make us come so fast. That's the only thing that kept me from getting the 22.

I am still rocking my s 21 ultra 😎 and its one of my best Samsung phone I've ever buy.

Note 20 ultra feels perfect to hold. The weight is just right. However s22 ultra does feel like a battery bank. Nobody talks about it but weight of a phone is so important...with new Samsung phones they should upgrade the specs, but the format factor has to be of note 20 ultra...it's almost perfect beauty

Watching it one my note 20 ultra and feeling good... 🤗

I'm upgrading to a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra it's arriving this week Tuesday

I started thinking that samsung made a very big mistake releasing the note 20ultra in 2020 it should have been released in 2022 or -@

thank you so much for this comparison video. I have been racking my brain to decide which phone to get and I go back and forth . This video made it clear for me. I need the SD card but contemplated maybe for 1/2 for the S22 for the camera features . I do a lot of photography and traveling and I need a great camera but also need the SD card storage. This was informative , funny, brilliant , Thanks a lot. I will be buying the Note 20 Ultra with 512GB & out a 1TB SD card in it. I will keep watching your videos. I have seen other videos and they almost seem the S22 was better.

Still got the note s20 ultra I won't get rid of it unless it dies. Even then I may get it fixed I love the expandable storage

Had the Note20U for about 2 weeks. Ordered it 2nd hand but couldnt connect to my network. Got to still use it while my Note10+was having screen fixed, on wifi. Pics were great. That crazy zoom is awesome. Got my moon pics like all them other folks. Lol. Loved the look and feel of the screen and refresh rate. Got used to it very quickly. Sent it back sadly bc it didn't have a network, but ill look to purchase a Note20U in the future. Beast of a phone. The S22U is still killer. But I'd go with the N20U

Leave everything the design of NOTE 20 ULTRA IS JUST A GOAT. When the world will talk about smartphone era from 2000s to 2020 this phone should be that poster boy. Its just❤️❤️

Note 20 U is a jewel of a phone and with its expandable memory and 12g of ram, I feel its the last naturally aspirated V8 in a world of 6 cylinder turbo trash and E-vs.

Without the SD card slot, the new phones just don't offer enough for me to upgrade yet.

I don't understand why do you compare 1x portrait shot vs 3x portrait shot?

Not a problem with my N20 ultra work's like new!!!! Everyday heavy user!!

Note 20 Ultra is the way to go. Still a Great phone imo

S22U: +Much Better microphone & call quality +Much better front camera +Better Video Recording Front & Rear +SnapchatxSamsung app +Better 5G +Better WiFi Modem N20U: +SD Card +MST Pay +Bigger Screen & Better Aspect Ratio +Half the price of S22U +Better peak performance w/ less thermal throttling

Hats off the older note 20 ultra, still holding fort quite well despite 2 years of better tech 👏

I love slightly more curvature of Note 20 Ultra's curved display.

watching on my N20 ULTRA 5G ❤

Watched this on my Note20 Ultra

Nice video and you got me on the portrait photo just like her It was worth watching your video It was like a suprise ending to a movie Because I guess completely wrong on that picture.

Samsung vs Samsung unbelievable

Just got it for Xmas for£350 renewed on amazon& a deal on a 512gb sd for£40&I'm very happy with it,the first & last note I'll ever own.👍😉

I got my hands on an almost brand new note 20 ultra a couple of days ago ... it's a freaking beast !!! Not sure what all the fuss about iPhone

Watching on my note 20 ultra

Still ROCKING MY NOTE 20 Ultra 5g still a boss N 2022 stop playing

I just bought a Note 20 Ultra for $700CAD brand new condition and it has better looks than the S22 Ultra in my opinion The Mystic Bronze too

great review I come from an apple house but like the note 20 ultra so much that I purchased one for the extended storage. Thanks

I'm happy with my S21 ultra after more than one year😊

I just got this for 250.00 I went from a ao1 to this. HOLY SUGAR SMACKS!! It's a whole new world. I was going to get a iPhone 11 for 199.00 for black Friday but caught this for sell unlocked. Glad I didn't get the iPhone.

where is it half the price of the s22 ultra? on ebay its atleast 100 more for the same specs

Compare the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra cameras with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras (when this phone comes out, if you can do it).

I choose note 20 ultra for its most stable processor.

I'll rather stick to my note 20 ultra, bronze. It is still best phone around. No upgrade required.

Please do a detailed camera comparison between these two devices

Wow, okay so I'm getting me the Note 20 Ultra.

Note20 ultra Best ever

The first zoom shot is not in focus on Note 20 Ultra. No way it can look such bad. There are a lot of online test comparing these two phones, and also I did tests by myself prior to buying one of these. They are very similar, like in last photo sample. Portrait shot is also not comparable in this example. Unfortunately this camera test is for people who knows nothing about photography except press shutter button. Comparing main camera, Note is better in true photographic values (lens quality and jpeg processing) which I assume vast majority of users are not aware of it and they prefer more processed image from S series. Main camera of S22Ultra is not up to Note standards and for me, it is totally expected for serious company like Samsung not to allow S22Ultra to be called Note (not just for that reason).

I have both and happy with both phones!

Great review. Why did you stop making reviews?

im abit confused on samsung website it says select 2019 and 2020 phones would have 4 security updates following their launch dates. does this mean note 20U(2020) would recieve 4 security updates after android 13 + 4 means 2026 or from 2020 + 4yrs means it would only have 1 remaining security update on year 2024

The good and bad about Samsung flagships is they are expensive when new and lose a ton of value quickly. My daily is an iPhone 13 Pro Max because of how deep I'm into the ecosystem both home and work. But Friday to Sunday I use an Android phone. I buy open box Samsung's twice a year. This year I've had a Note 20 Ultra which I sold recently and bought am S20 Ultra ($360 mint). The Note and Ultra are pretty much the same minus the shape and pen.

Note 20 ultra is an awesome phone in all aspects except the horrendous battery life. I have to charge twice a day and it's pissing me off..

But Note 20 Ultra has screen burns like around the front cam and each sides of the screen

I would like to get this however it's to expensive ATM. I am now planning to get a moto edge 2020+ stylus for less then 200

I think I might save some money and buy note20u right away. Awesome review bruf

I love note 20 ultra 5g.

I have a note20 ultra, and I've noticed when I take a close up pic (my diad at work, for personal record keeping) the edges are blurry like the camera can't focus on it because it's too close, maybe because I'm holding both devices in my hands they are, but then I'd get too much non-important background instead of just the screen I want in the pic. Still love my note 20 though BECAUSE of the expandable storage, and apparently they removed the MST from samsung pay on the newer ones and the 20 was apparently the last to have it, not sure if it'd been needed or not but at least it's there.

bro the amount of videos ivy watched on this topic you killed it! love the video. new subscriber :)

That portrait shot was 🧢 that no way represents the 22ultra !

Note 20 ultra is my favorite phone s22 ultra is not worth the upgrade . But if you don't have a note s22 ultra is better option . I'm not sure if the video showed for the refresh rate in thr note 20 ultra goes down at it highest resolution. I never really noticed but some might

if you're lucky u can find the note 20 ultra sealed brand new for 400 that's the price of a midranger

I am living in the UK too, i bought a note 20 ultra brand new Exynos version and literally returned it within a week, battery life is really really bad and heating issues. I bought s21 ultra then and its better. but i don't find any reason to upgrade to s22 ultra... I will wait and see what s23 will bring.

Watching from my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Love it!

I wanna change my note 20 because some dots just mysteriously appeared on the screen. A dot on the left and on the right. This is so annoying and I don't know if s22 would go same route.

That's a good video mate Good luck

Love it you've just got one ❤️

Dude for portraits you need to frame your photos the same. If one is a zoom stand further back with the zoom.

Have a note 20 Ultra and an iPhone 13 pro. Dont intend to upgrade either until I see something better (like a Galaxy Fold with a bigger screen, 200MP, 200xzoom camera with a bigger sensor plus removable memory).

Owned both....still using the Note 20 Ultra as my primary device

I love note 20 ultra

s22 ultra has micro sd and expandable memory / ??

I'm using a samsung note 20 ultra 5g. I updated my phone to android 13 one UI 5. Even after that, I can't find maintenance mode.

Cool and high quality content

I don't own note 20 ultra but I still love and feel note 20 ultra is the best

Lol when you get glue gate problem in note 20 ultra you will think about it

Like Note 20 ultra 👍🏻 comment S23 ultra 🫡 ..

photography, there is no justice because you took a close-up photo with the Note 20 ultra, but the s22ultra I took it from a distance and I'm sure if I took it the same Close you would have liked the s22ultra shot

Hei, my galaxy note 20 ultra nolonger receives upgrades, is it finished?

i have a note 9 i want to buy a note 20 ultra but it's out of stock everywhere. am so annoyed

I'm gonna rock my Note 20 ultra till it doesn't work anymore! I'll figure something out then. . .😉

at 0:33 upset man just cross ☠😇🤣🤣

I was gutted when my insurance replaced my 512gb Note 20 Ultra with an S22 ultra. Main benefit was that i could put a 1tb micro SD in the Note 20, not so the S22 ultra.

Still got the N20U on a contract and am thinking about getting the S23U via a trade up with Optus.

I just got the note 2o ultra ☺️☺️😻

Can you do the s23 ultra vs note 20 ultra

I have note 20 also love it but let me tell you guys 2024 there will no more updates for the poor note 20 ultra 5g, I think that is criminal as it still has so many years left how they get you 😢 just won s22 ultra on ebay let's gooo

poor photo comparison when one is not focused; for sales purposes.

Note 20 Ultra came out in 2020. I'm sure the battery quality is slightly worse

What if T-mobile offers $1,000 trade in for well taken care of Note 20 ultra. Seems too good to be true. LOVE my note but... New flagship for $200 plus protection Hmmm....

SD card, Samsung Pay MST

U should not upgrade if not necessary. But if u r buying buy s22 ultra. Baised. Your note must be SD and s22 exynos. And u didn't used 3x portrait of s22. And the last photo s22 is winning higher saturated didn't mean good. And zoom shot clearly show generation difference.

May I know your S22 Ultra is black or graphite?

I have a Note 20 ultra (snapdragon version) and it completely destroys the dumbed-down S22 Ultra UK version due to the chipset.
