The display

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra has a 6.9″ WQHD+ AMOLED 120Hz display, it’s very bright and colorful. camera hole-cut on top middle of the screen like the Note 10, but little smaller and better.

The 120Hz display is just amazing, smoother daily use of the phone, smoother playing games, unlike the regular Note 20, it’s stuck on 60Hz and 1080p, but the advantage, it has flat edges.

Can the batteries last?

The phone has a 4,500 mAh, which is not bad, but for a screen this size, the processor, and the 120Hz, it can last you for a whole day of-course, but with a little juice only left.

If only Samsung made the phone a little thicker to cover the camera bump a little bit, they can easily give it more bigger battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra comes with a 25W fast charger, which is a plus, a wireless charging at 15W, and reverse wireless charging at 4.5W.
