With the release of the new Note range, it’s quite hard to decide between the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled the best parts of all the new Notes to make your decision easier. From network connectivity and prices to design differences and the components powering the phone, we’ve taken a look at it all.

Camera Systems

What’s powering the camera is always something that can be a make or break for certain people. Both the Note 20 and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra feature a triple lens with the same kind of lenses. In both setups, you can find a 12MP ultra wide camera. These aren’t the main cameras and you’re probably going to only really use it for group photos or to photograph scenery. Both the phone’s will offer much wider frames thanks to this lens. All your ultra wide photos are going to be high detail and show true to life colours.

Next up is the telephoto camera. Both phones have pretty impressive telephoto components in their systems. In the Note 20 Ultra, you’ll find a 12MP telephoto lens. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 has a more powerful 64MP telephoto. This type of lens allows you to enjoy several different focal lengths so you can get closer to what you’re photographing. By using these zoom levels, you don’t have to worry about losing any details or quality in the overall outcomes. Of course, with a larger lens, the Note 20 is going to produce far higher quality images with this lens.

Finally, the last lens in both systems is the main camera. You’re going to use these lenses to capture the majority of your photos. It’s the most versatile style of lenses, which makes it perfect for all different situations. Inside the Note 20, you’ll find a standard 12MP main lens. When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, you’re going to enjoy a huge 108MP main camera. This is going to produce photos with details and colours like no other. Both main cameras will also feature night mode so you can shoot stunning photos in the dark.

Design Differences

One of the most important questions when deciding between the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is what size screen you want. Of course, there are two different screen sizes available with this year’s Note range. This is pretty standard across the entire series and previous releases. Offering just two options allows you to narrow down your search far easier whilst making sure there’s something for you to choose from. Choosing your screen size is going to really help between choosing whether you want the Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra.

With both the Note 20 and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G, you get to enjoy a 6.7 inch super AMOLED display. As this is such a large screen, you’ll find yourself completely immersed within any films and videos you watch. With HDR10+ technology, you can also enjoy the highest quality picture available. To make sure you can enjoy as much of the screen as possible, the selfie camera is a tiny punch hole. When the phone is turned off, it’s almost completely unnoticeable. Paired with very little in the way of bezels, you get a very full view.

As it’s the higher spec option, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra offers one of the largest screens in the Not series so far. Enjoy a 6.9 inch dynamic AMOLED edge to edge display. When you’re streaming your favourite films or diving into a new world through games, you’re going to have a completely different experience. This screen will suck you in and give you a completely cinematic feel. With a punch hole selfie camera and very little bezels, you don’t have to worry about losing any of that full screen.

4G or 5G?

The first step to deciding whether you want a 4G or 5G compatible device is figuring out what’s available in your area. It’s been just over a year since 5G was first introduced to the UK and it’s not yet available in all areas. If 5G isn’t available in your area, and isn’t due to be soon, you may opt for a 4G handset to save money. That being said, if you travel to work in an area with 5G connectivity, you may choose a 5G handset.

For anyone not worried about 5G, you’ll need to op for the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20. This is the only handset in the range that isn’t compatible with 5G, making it the most affordable too. Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G and Note 20 Ultra will support 5G connectivity. These handsets will offer you much faster speeds, especially during browsing, downloads and uploads. You will need to make sure that the deal you purchase is 5G ready with the 5G variants.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
