Technical Specs & Price Point

Modern smartphones are so advanced, it's easy to get confused by all of the technical specifications and features thrown at you when shopping for a new one. However, if you focus exclusively on the main features that matter the most to the typical phone user, you'll have a better understanding of what you're getting — and how the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra stack up against the competition.

Battery Life - Both the Note 20 (4300 milliamp hour) and Note 20 Ultra (4500 milliamp hour) feature batteries that can be charged from 0 to 100 percent in about an hour.As you make your decision, keep the following specs in mind:

• Size - The Note series has always been bulky by necessity. The Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are no exception. The Note 20 Ultra's 6.9-inch screen is slightly larger than the Note 20's 6.7-inch display. That being said, the Note 20 is a bit less of a load in your pocket or purse. It weighs in at 194 grams compared to the Ultra's 208.
• Colors - Both models can be cloaked in Samsung's Mystic Bronze. If you prefer other hues, however, the Note 20 offers green and gray colors, while the Note 20 Ultra sports white and black designs.
• Curvature - The curved edge display on both models of the Note 20 help these phones stand out from the rest of the cell phone crowd. That being said, the look is purely cosmetic.
• Fingerprint Reader Quality - Each model offers four different fingerprint profiles to utilize. This improves ease of access for authorized users.
• Zoom Quality - The Note 20 Ultra's 5x optical zoom (with 50x Super Resolution zoom) represents a significant upgrade over the Note 20's 3x hybrid zoom and 30x Super Resolution zoom capability.
• Screen Protection - Corning's new Gorilla Glass Victus comes standard on the Note 20 Ultra, while the Note 20 utilizes Gorilla Glass 5, a notable step down from Victus.
• Camera Megapixels & Focus Sensor - The Note 20 Ultra features a laser auto-focus sensor and an 108-megapixel camera that you won't find in the Note 20.
• S Pen Sensitivity & Speed - Samsung's S Pen has been improved thanks to the Note's increased screen refresh rate, resulting in minimal lag.
• Processor - Both models of the Note 20 feature Snapdragon 865 Plus processors.
• Storage - The Note 20's 128 GB internal storage is useful, but dwarfed by the Note 20 Ultra's available 512 GB of expandable storage.
