Hi the samsung note 20 ultra 5g this is the latest note from samsung so we'll take a look at this we'll unbox it take a look at some of its specs and other things as well as some of the accessories that go along with it now i was able to get these accessories free they gave acredit when you pre-ordered it so i've got the galaxy buds live as wellas the s view flip cover we'll take a closer look at those later in the video now this samsung note 20 ultra 5g it's sort of a handful of a word comes in at 1 299 with 128 gigabytes of storage and 12gigabytes of ram there's a 512 gigabyte variant as well that's 14.49 and also has 12 gigs of ramso.
let's go ahead and open it up so let's see what we've got inside so inside there are three different variants you can get as far as color this one is the mystic white color so there's mystic bronze mystic black and mystic white and i kind of liked the white color i don't know if it's a matte or glossy finish it looks glossy but let's take a closer look at what'sin the box and then we'll go over the phone so inside the box there's a little pamphlet in the toplet's see what we've got here so we have a sim card removal tool and no case or anything like that of course in the united states.
we cases inside the box so we've got a quick reference guide itsays get the most out of your phone and then terms and conditions so we'llset that aside and take a closer look at what elsecomes in the box so under the phone in the box we've got this little pamphlet that pulls back we have a 25 watt quick charger or fast charger they've slowed the speed down but it's25 watts and should charge in about an hour we'lltalk more about that in a moment and then also inside we have well nothing here normally you would have an adapter or some tool sso it looks like they've left out some extra tips for the pen like they give every year and then inside here no headphones or anything.
We just have a usb cable so i thought the package feltfairly light but we have a usbc to usbc cableso that's for charging and transferring data i supposeand they've no longer included the adapter and left out some of theaccessories so we'll set this box aside now let'stake a look at the phone itself i'll remove thecover on the back and it looks pretty good i was hopingthis was more of a matte finish but overall it looks pretty goodit has a stainless steel frame as well as corning's brand newgorilla glass victus so it's no longer gorilla glass 5 or 6it's victus and you'll see they installed this well i guess it's a coverso you can set it up there should be a pre-installed screen protector or some people are seeing that but let's pull this cover off as well you can see there's a hole for the fingerprint sensor and so we've got that i don't feel a screen protector on here i know some were seeing it maybe there's one there but i don't think there's a screen protector pre-installed like others are seeing so maybe the exynos variant has that but this one doesn't so again stainless steel gorilla glassvict is and then this is 208 grams so it'snot super heavy but it's not super light as well and let's go around the outside edge so on the right hand side of the phone you.
can see we have a volume rocker and then below that we have a power sleepwake button then on the bottom of the phone we havea microphone it looks like we've got a little protectprotective piece of plastic over here i can look at that a little bit laterbut we have usbc a speaker and then we have the spen as well so the s pen matches the color of the phoneit's a white s pen if you've got the mystic white colorand then on the other side there's nothing on the left side of the phoneand on the top we have a sim card tray in our microphoneso let's pop out the sim card tray and it should be good for two sim cards in some countries or expandable storage so this is a 128gigabyte variant but you've got a sim card tray withexpandable storage up to one terabyte of storage so that's really nice that they've added that so there's no headphone jack or anything like thatbefore we go over the specs here's a quick size.
comparison so here's an s10 plus so you can see side by sidethis note 20 ultra is very big and has a huge camera bump on the back but i thinkit looks pretty good you can see the camera bump here thisgives you an idea side by side size wise and then width it's definitelywider than an s10 plus or closer in size probably to ans20 ultra and then also here's a pixel 4 xl nextto it if you've had one of those phones orseen that and then maybe if you're thinking of switching from an iphone tosay the note 20 just for another size comparison you cansee side by side so this note 20 ultra is huge and it'sit's an incredibly large phone but it doesn't feel heavier than the iphone or anything.
so it's it's pretty nice in the hand so farexcept these sharp edges now let's go over some of the specs andthen we'll turn it on and take a closer look at itnow internally we have a qualcomm snapdragon 865 pluswith 12 gigabytes of ram like i mentioned before we've also got anadreno 650 gpu now as far as connectivity it's got 5gmillimeter wave sub 6 as well so it should have youcovered if you're if you have access to those networkswhere i live it's very limited when it comes tomillimeter wave but we do have sub 6. now alsoit's got wi-fi 802.11 a b g n a c a x which is wi-fi sixand then it has wi-fi direct and of course you could use it as a hotspot orwhatever you'd like it's got bluetooth 5.0 a2dp for audioand aptx and all sorts of other things like gpsnfc and everything you could really want ina phone now when it
comes to the display that's where samsung really shines usually with the note lineup and the s20 so it's got a 6.9 inch display 1440 by3088 pixels with a 19 to 9 ratio and 498 pixels perinch it supports hdr 10 plus and has a 120hertz display and can go up to an incredibly superbright 1500 nits of peak brightness now when it comes to the cameraon the front we have a 10 megapixel camera so no longer do we have a 40megapixel like the s20 ultra and this is capableof 4k 60p video as well now in the back of thephone we have our camera bump which i actually thinklooks pretty good compared to most others they've really owned this lookand i like the rings around the camera but as far as what we have with specs atthe top we have a 12 megapixel ultrawide.
camera with an f 2.2 aperture and 13millimeter ultra wide lens and then in the middlewe have the main 108 megapixel wide angle camerathat's got an f 1.8 aperture with a 26 millimeter equivalent lensand then we also have a 12 megapixel millimeter periscope telephoto zoom lenswith an f 3.0 aperture so we've got all of these cameras andthey've done away with the focus system they had on thes20 ultra in favor of a laser system that apparentlyworks much better so i'm curious to see what it has now along with that it canrecord 8k video in 24 frames per second and thenalso you can take 33 megapixel stills from that it hassuper low light photos now and can record super slow motion in 720pat 960 frames per second.
so it should be really interesting to see what we've gotas far as the camera capabilities on this now the phone is ip68 certified for1.5 meters up to 30 minutes and then as far as its battery isconcerned it has a 4500 milliamp hour batterywith like i mentioned before 25 watt fast chargingand 15 watt wireless charging and it will give you a 100charge in about an hour now let's go ahead and turn it onso hold the power button here turn it on and i've really been looking forward tothis phone i think i want to try it out as a mainphone for a little while i've used iphone for a long time and i probablywill for a while as well but i really want to try this phone out and see howit is it's got so many features it looks greatso let's wait for it to boot up here.
so it's booted up it says let's gohit the button we have to agree to the terms of service now one thing i noticedit's not speaking to me by default which is kind of interestingand you can send diagnostic data or information linkingi will uncheck those for now hit next i'll select a wi-fi networknow one thing i noticed is not only do we have a couple options hereunder advanced it actually has mac address type and it has a randomized macaddress so it's harder to track so i really appreciate features likethat we'll hit connect it's checking for updates we'll wait forthat now it's asking me if i want to copy apps and data and i actually do iwant to copy from the pixel for excel since it hasall of the information on it that i normally use with android phonesso we'll go ahead and hit next it says updating smart switch so i haveto wait for that and it's saying what's your old device we'll hit agreeand how do you want to connect your device we'll connect it with a cableand we'll plug in the cable that was included with it so we'll unlock thepixel plug it inand then we'll plug it into the samsung phone it says connecting to bring yoursconnecting to android to bring your data now that it's connected and transferringdata let's see what we've got next.
so itwants me to select what i want to bring overi don't want to bring images or anything else we'll hit transfer andeverything from the last year or so we'll hit transferbring your google account verify it's me hit confirmand it's copying my account as well now the phone is still transferring my dataso i'll keep the cable connected but i'm past the google sign-in andeverything so let me go ahead and set up my fingerprintso we'll go ahead and hit continue it uses samsung knoxi'll set a pin now it wants me to scan my fingerprint so i'll go ahead andhit the button and it's gotten much better with the s20 ultraand the note 10 even was better than the s10 i had a lot of issues with thefingerprint sensor on previous versions but so far with thenewer versions it seems to be fine this ultrasonic fingerprint sensor issuper convenient and secure now so i'm glad they've updatedit and made it a lot better now that it has my fingerprint i'll signin with my samsung account so now i'm signed in with the samsungaccount it's almost done we'll hit finishand now we're to the home screen so it looks like it's still transferringinformation it's going to update everything.
so i'll let this finish andthen we'll take a closer look at it so now everything's done copying i'llset the phone aside and take a closer look at the note nowit looks pretty good so far the screen looks incrediblethe phone is quite warm just from setting up but that's pretty normal whenyou're doing a lot of intensive tasks and let's take a look at the actualandroid version that it has pre-installednow it is still installing some updates and things like that as well now as youcan see here at the top it has android 10 and one ui version 2.5 i'mgoing to check for an update as well since we're only on thejuly 1st 2020 patch and the august patch is out forat least pixel devices anyway so it does have an update i'll install thisand then continue in a moment the note 20 ultra is now installing an updateand it looks like they've updated what the update looks likebefore it was just this terrible blue screen so this looks a lot betteri haven't seen this on the s20 yet so maybe it's new maybe it's not but it'sthe first time i'm seeing it now the phone has rebooted the update hasinstalled and samsung is promising three years ofupdates with android.
so that's something we haven't seen from samsung beforeonly pixel phones from google so it's really nice that we have that with asuper expensive phone let's test out the fingerprint sensorand it's pretty fast so as long as you get the right spotthat takes a little bit of time to learn that is muscle memoryso it's kind of right in this area it's not really anything you cansee but you have to try it a few times now software on this phoneis already pre-installed there's quite a bit now i had to install some softwarealso you'll see we have the typical samsungsoftware installed we've got the google software installedas well and then also facebook but one thing inoticed as opposed to previous versions is we can uninstallfacebook.
so if you want to uninstall it you can do that so that's nicebefore they just let you hide it now you can uninstall itnow as far as the display it's really nice it does wrap around the edgesi'm not sure i like that too much you may have somespurious inputs there but this display is 120 hertz so it'ssuper fast at all times but you can only use 120hertz or it's full resolution so for example if we'll go we go to displayso you'll see here's the options here i can go standard and then go higherresolutions or have adaptive for 120 hertz so it'ssmooth and then slows down so if we scroll down you'll see here'sthe resolutions but if i want to switch towqhd plus 3088 by 1440 i have to turn off motion smoothingso you'll see high refresh rate isn't supported in the wqhdplus so that's something you have to keep in mind i'd rather have the higherframe rate or the higher uh screen refresh rate rather and kind of have the nice smooth experience on android now this year the s pen gets updated to have a nine millisecond refresh rate
so we'll create a new note maybe just write zolotek here there we go let's convert that to text you'll see it didn't get it exactly right so sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't we'll try it again down here and we'll hit convert again and you' llsee it didn't get the first one right but i got the second one rightso it should be pretty good in general at converting that now again you can straighten this that's one of the new features here this year you can straighten it see what you'd like here maybe we'll move this downhere convert and then it converted it to text so ith as some really nice options of course you have those gestures and things so for example if you go into your camera you'll have gestures and so if you want to switch between modes press and hold the button on the pen and then move and we'll see if we can go to video and then we'll just move our pen and if this worked last year okay we'll see if it works againthere we go we'll move it back it's the first time we've opened it.
so we'll moveit back so you get the idea you can use that to take photos and everything else which is really nice now other than the gestures within the camera we have a bunch of different options so if we go into our settings here you'll see we have scene optimizer and all of those and then rear video size up to 8k like i said before and let's take a look at the forward facing camera since it's 4k as well and let's change it because it goes up to 4k 60. so we're i'm showing you this video at 4k60so let's bump it up to that we'll go back and let's see what the video sounds like so now i'm recording it with the galaxy note 20 ultra 5g and hopefully it looks pretty good and sounds pretty good as compared to my studio mic now you also get the optionto change audio from the front to the back so you can adjust where the microphones are that it's using you can plug into the usbc port with a microphone you can use bluetooth and everything else.
so it's got a reallycomprehensive camera and if you'd like a separate video on that let me know in the comments below the s20 ultra camera was great but ifyou want a more in-depth look at the camera on the note 20 ultra let me know in the comments belownow as far as the speakers are concerned let's take a listen to thoseso we'll go to my s20 ultra unboxing and we'll turn it upit's a 40-megapixel camera that should be really impressiveso the screen looks great i only have up toi think 1080p so we'll go into here for some reason we only have up to 1080p60 there but it looks okay the speakers don't sound incredible at high volume so listen againwhen it comes to the cameras on the rear we have a 108 megapixel optical imagestabilized camera so they're loud but they don't reallysound that good they're sort of they sound kind of like a lower qualityspeaker it's okay and it's nice and in stereobut it's not as high quality as i would have expected for the price but it's notbad so this offers quite a lot and there's a lot to get intoif you want to talk about more of course i can do a different video but let'stake.
A look at some of the accessories so these are the galaxy beans or galaxybuds live let's go ahead and open it up herethere we go close that super sharp so i want to be carefulso let's open this up here so that's a little bit smaller than iwould have thought let's unwrap this hereand open it up and so you've got the galaxy buds live here so they should fitin your ear nicely i'll try them out separately but let'sset them here and then let's see what we've got in thebox so inside we've got a usb a2 usbc cableand then it looks like we have a couple different tip sizes in here as well sothey just sort of fell out but it looks like these will go aroundthe end of the bean i guess so right here soit's kind of interesting and then it should wireless charge off of your phoneas well.
so you do have that wireless or reversewireless charging option so wireless power sharewe'll turn it on it says ready to charge we'll turn it overand i felt it vibrate and you can see it's charging now so it's charging offthe back of the phone if you need that or you could charge other devices aswell now around the case we have usbc on the back to charge it alsoand then left and right so let me put one of these in my earnow they feel pretty comfortable but they're open to the airso i'll try them out a little bit later it's kind of interesting though let's take a look at the case now this case is about fifty dollars or soand like i said it came with it just with a little certificate when you pre-order so it seems like it's a decent case if youwant to have the note sort of be like a notepad so it's got a large instruction booklet here we'lltake this out and then let's see what it's like when we put it in the case let's see if we close the caseit immediately turns on the side gives the time and the date and a couple different icons here it says open covered a few notification details around the back it makes the camera bump flat.
so that's nice but i'm not sure i like this material sort of like a nylon material that's cushy it will protect the phone but on the top it does leave it exposed a little bit but there's a lipand then on the bottom the same thing and then on this side you have rubber buttons covering the power and volume button so i do think it's neat how it turns on like that you can wrap ita round the back and then as soon as you cover the display with this screen keeping it safe it changes to notifications so i really like that i think it's great it's kind of something interesting and kind of a neat sort of case so that's everything with the note 20 ultra 5g if there's anything more you'd like to see let me know in the comments below i think it's a great phone and of coursei need to take more samples with the camera use it for a little while and see what it's like see what kind of battery life we're getting but if you want a full review let me know in the comments below now if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper it's a stock samsung wallpaper.
