Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G 256GB - Mystic Bronze - Unlocked (Renewed)

Product Information

The Note20 Ultra 5G’s videos are darker in most simulated conditions compared to the Mi 10 Ultra in our measurements, however, and particularly in low light between 5 and 20 lux. Based on Super Fast Charging results from internal Samsung lab tests, conducted with in-box charger while it has 0% of power remaining, with all the services, features, and screen turned off.

The Apple and Xiaomi devices were capable of squeezing out a little extra detail in very low-light conditions (below 20 lux), however, achieving texture scores of around 70% acutance compared to around 60% on the Note20 Ultra 5G at 1 lux. In addition, the Samsung Notes app now makes it easier to find your notes with a more PC-like file folder structure. For the most part, image quality on the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G is very good but it’s mainly fusion issues when zooming that prevent the device from ranking higher in the DXOMARK Camera database. Our partners are electronics experts who test and verify that each product is 100% functional before it leaves the factory.In this section, we take a closer look at the device’s strengths and weakness for video, with some comparisons against its key competitors. Noise is often visible, detail is a little lower, and common wide-angle artifacts are slightly visible, but there’s nothing too problematic and overall it does an admirable job.

New S Pen tricks are addictive: The new Air Actions can come in handy (like drawing a a quick arc in the air to go Home).

So although texture remains good, expect to see some noise in the Note20 Ultra 5G’s videos when the light levels drop. Although dynamic range isn’t quite as extended as we’ve seen with some devices, and low-light images can be slightly underexposed, it does a good job overall. As I ran around shooting zombies and navigating dark corridors the game looked smooth and felt extremely responsive. Autofocus performance is acceptable on the Note20 Ultra 5G, although it doesn’t quite achieve a perfect score and struggled slightly in some of our new and more challenging tests.

Another key upgrade is Link to Windows integration, which allows you to access mobile apps on your Windows 10 PC via the Your Phone app. There’s a little room for improvement in the night photography capabilities of the Note20 Ultra 5G, but it does a pretty good job overall. In some cases my screen taps did not register, as I didn't realize my other hand holding the phablet was interfering. Tested in its 4K/30 fps mode, the Note20 Ultra 5G achieved a Video score of 106 and the following sub-scores: Exposure (93), Color (95), Autofocus (81), Texture (84), Noise (92), Artifacts (77), and Stabilization (96). Most Galaxy Note 20 Ultra cases will level things out so that the camera bump isn't an issue, and given the fact that this is such a large and heavy phone, it’s best to protect your investment with one.
