The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is Samsung’s most expensive, most premium flagship phone of 2020. It’s not for the bargain hunters – it’s for people who want a smartphone that pushes the bar as high as possible and don’t mind paying extra for it.

It looks like a phone made for the super-rich (as indeed its price tag suggests) – all finely polished curves and a 6.9-inch, 1440 x 3088-pixel resolution, HDR10+ supporting AMOLED screen. It runs at 60Hz by default but will ramp up to 120Hz if you knock down the resolution to 1080p FHD. You simply can’t fault this from a design perspective.

If we did have to pick a flaw, we’re not all that happy with the huge camera bulge at the back of the phone. You won’t be able to lie this phone flat on its back, and the bulge makes it more difficult to slip it into a pocket but this wouldn’t put us off buying it.
