In front of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and today I'll go over unboxing along with a brief
0:10
overview of the form itself. So starting out this is the box that it comes in
0:14
Nothing really shown much here. We have a really faint N20, black on black which I can't even..
0:23
Oh there we go, it's barely visible now. So as you can see the only thing you can see on the box is also the pen
0:29
And also on the side we have the Galaxy Note 20. So let's pop it open at the top as Samsung usually fits those paperwork and everything on the top part
0:41
We have this box and inside of it the same inject tool
0:46
And let's pop this out and simple paperwork. So no casing, no nothing
0:53
Dropped at the side. Take the phone, put it to the side too. We're going to come back to it soon
0:58
Then in here we get the charger. Now this is a Type C to Type C charger
1:06
Something that Samsung started doing with their newest S-20s and apparently notes too
1:13
So it might prove some problems later on. I had problems with the Type C to Type C not charging always
1:21
but I don't exactly remember that was to do with the Samsung phones or some other ones
1:27
because they're not actually the only one that started doing it. Then inside we got an empty little box
1:35
charging cable, so that type C to type C, and the typical AKG headphones
1:41
Now, again, there is no headphones wireless ones, the earbuds, even though I really see that this should have been a great fit here
1:50
to add the wireless buds instead of the typical trash-wired ones. so yeah
1:57
I just dropped it to this side for now nothing else in there
2:02
and move to the phone itself so it is already set up as you can see
2:06
and I did some tests in a way to see how it works
2:10
and just general stuff so starting straight off with the display it is a
2:18
6.7 inch 1080p by 2400 display super amulet after all latest Samsung so they always basically drop amulettes everywhere
2:29
with a 89.2% screen to body ratio and well not very impressive I'll say
2:38
393 pixels per inch that is because it's just a 1080p display on
2:44
well a fairly big sized display but it also is HDR 10 plus certified and the glass itself is a gorilla glass 5 so
2:55
basically as good as you can get almost. Then, as you can see, the phone has minimal bezels, obviously
3:06
It looks fairly nice. The probably the biggest difference I see from the Ultra version, if you're wondering
3:13
is the fact that this display actually isn't curved, and it comes with the super crap 60 hertz refresh rate for a flagship device that costs $1,000
3:22
Now this is in my opinion where the phone starts to kind of fall apart and defeats the purpose of calling it a note So I will say that I do really like Samsung devices but this one has literally no place and a reason to cost this much
3:40
If you're making a flagship device, and you're charging for it at $1,000 and above
3:47
it should already have everything that it possibly can, not skimp out on it and then add it to ultra version
3:55
more expensive it just just crap so moving on to the cameras that are on the
4:03
back so we have triple camera setup on this device at least the Ultra has more
4:09
so the main shooter is a well not very impressive 12 megapixel sensor then you have a
4:15
telephoto lens of 64 megapixels and a 12 megapixel ultra wide so as you
4:21
probably see there is no macro lens in here but put that all together and it does shoot fairly nice videos but when it comes
4:33
down to photos it kind of falls apart I would say so videos are amazing it shoots
4:38
at 8k 24 frames then also if you drop it down to 4k it shoots without any problem
4:45
at 30 and 60 frames and if you drop it even lower to 1080p you have 30 60 and also 120 frames
4:53
which is not slow motion. It just trade up 120 frames. And also does a slow motion of 1080p at 240
5:04
and slow motion at 720p of 960. Now the 960 is a little bit excessive
5:11
Literally, if you're recording something like a screen, you will see every frame showing in like three second period
5:20
So it does in almost any kind of. circumstance it seems almost redundant I would say I mean I really like it don't get me
5:29
wrong but I don't really see a use for such a slow motion it literally makes the
5:35
image look like it standing still so apart from the back cameras we also have the
5:43
front single camera which is a simple 10 megapixel white sensor again it does
5:50
shoot at 1080p 30 and 60 and I believe also at 4k fork 30 but let me quickly check it so it's going to the
6:05
settings so we have the front now it actually shoots also at 4k 60 so yeah now I
6:16
believe I also checked it out and it worked really well and as you can also see on
6:20
the video it keeps up looks really nice here The detail is there
6:25
So, the cameras on here for strictly recording are, well, amazing I would say
6:35
But when it comes onto photos, it does kind of fall apart
6:39
I feel like it's missing quality. My phone, which is a Mate 20 Pro, and the device is about like two years old now
6:48
shoots basically as good photos as this. I have photos here just free hand held and shooting the same object I would say are basically the same and for a device that supposed to be a flagship it really isn amazing in any way in terms
7:10
of photos. It didn't wow me. So now moving on to the specs itself of the device
7:18
not talking about cameras the device has an ex-Naz 99 with a 256
7:24
gigabyte built-in storage and 8 gigabytes RAM now I believe there is no way of
7:30
expanding the storage so 256 is all you get but it does have a UFS
7:34
3.0 so that is really nice for writing and reading speeds on that storage
7:39
then the battery is a 4,300 million-power battery although the charging is nothing
7:46
again impressive with comes in a box with a 25 watt charger for a flagship again no just no I want
7:56
to see at least 40 watt charging if I'm paying for a thousand dollar device then
8:03
moving on it does also have wireless charging so that's a thumbs up but again it's
8:08
barely crap at 15 watts so not nothing really groundbreaking here but they
8:14
didn't really push anything far and also reverse wireless charging for things like your earbuds
8:19
at 4.5 watts. So the wireless reverse charging was always, nothing spectacular
8:26
but I would have expected the normal wireless charging for the phone itself to be higher
8:31
which I will touch up and change to a different phone. For a second, just to put in a perspective, the price
8:39
and the reason why I'm kind of so harsh on this device
8:44
So, Xiaomi, released a, what is it, Me Note 10, Ultra. The device is basically the best on the market, apparently
8:55
It has one of the highest marks for photos. Now, I never had this phone in my hand, so I can't really vouch for it
9:05
but you can be sure that once I get it, I'll check it out in full
9:10
The problem with the device that I also mentioned is the fact that it's right now being sold only in China
9:15
But if you can make it, get it from there. I'm pretty sure it's going to blow this phone out of the water
9:21
With majority of the things like, for instance, wireless charging of 120 watts
9:25
or not wireless, the wired charging of 120 with a brick that has 120 watt charging
9:31
Wireless charging at 40 watts, which is almost twice as fast as this wired charging
9:37
And I'm not sure if it has any reverse charging, so I can't say anything about that
9:42
but apart from that the device has basically the best specs that they could possibly have now also
9:50
I will say I have no idea what the comparison between the X-Nus 990 and the Snapdragon will be
9:59
the X-Naz might be faster I have no idea I will have to check the specs but if we're talking
10:05
about basically every part of the device itself it's almost an almost every single way better. The display resolution about the same, faster refresh rate
10:19
twice as fast and as a matter of fact. And the price is the probably most important part
10:24
which costs So I am really harsh on this device because it is worse than chinese phone that is calling itself ultra costs less and it better in every way so this at this point i don really see the purpose for
10:42
buying the normal note device it doesn't even come with 5g so that's another down draw of this phone
10:51
it was released literally not too long ago in 2020 past half of the year and it doesn't even bother adding 5g they decided to drop that for the ultra version
11:04
which it's starting to be a really scummy way of trying to mark up the prices of their devices by
11:10
skipping on the actual flagships that they used to care so much about and deciding to call
11:17
s wasn't enough note wasn't enough so let's start making ultras and basically mark up the price
11:24
even higher. So honestly I am really disappointed with this device. I was really thinking about
11:31
actually getting it for myself, but honestly, with the specs that this phone has, I'm being probably
11:35
good at only recording videos and having a pen. I feel like I'll be literally dropping my money
11:43
and wasting it for a device that isn't worth that much. It truly the only thing that it's trying to
11:48
bring you is the good recording and the pen, thinking that this is going to be enough to get you hooked
11:53
on I guess the base model of Note 20 because we can't even, I don't know if we can call this a flagship anymore
12:00
considering in this case the $1,300 Ultra will be the flagship now
12:08
And apart from that, one thing that I also missed is the fact that it has an end-display fingerprint
12:15
which probably wasn't like something that was expected. But like I said, everything in this device to me
12:23
isn't worth a thousand dollars and the question to you for you that I have is it worth
12:29
to you that much personally the ultra is also not worth thirteen hundred dollars
12:35
to me it might be one of the best phones it might not be I will have to check it
12:40
out once I get it at the moment I only have the note 20 but once I have the
12:44
old child check it out and something tells me that it also won't be worth
12:48
that much so to conclude this video because I'm kind of going on a
12:53
here on this brief overview the specifications of this device aren't anything
13:00
well there are flagship specs but for the price I would have expected more in this time
13:07
so I am disappointed with this device and personally I would not be
13:11
buying this for myself or would recommend you to get it there are better
13:17
options assuming you're okay with going for something like a Xiaomi I will not recommend anyone
13:23
because of the problems that they have and the fact that they're not being sold in US
13:29
But Xiaomi is and it's basically starting to be as good as any other flagship device or even better
13:37
So personally, I wouldn't recommend this. So if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe and thanks for watching
