Good for u, hope i get too one day

@@charlizescoot7469 got one for you right now brand new in box bought it for my son but hes decided to be irresponsible with his life so im keeping it for now.

Who on earth needs 1TB of storage on a SMARTPHONE!? That's laptop levels of storage

I've got a 1tb s10 plus. That's just the Internal memory. Finding it hard to drop it for a newer device

@@oseboodigie8406 There is a 1TB version of the S23 Ultra

​@venator7889 yh and costs a kidney to buy. With that price you can get triple the storage

@@venator7889 ngl bro I use 15% of the card. But it's probably gonna be my last SD card AND phone in a LOOOOONG time.

How is your note 20 ultra running?

@@nielsjunker1487 After a bit difficult start it has been running really well. At the beginning I had trouble focusing with camera but after two updates it started working well. Awesome phone! The best I have ever had.

Where can I get it that's not fake and real

​@@Divinefection Amazon or by refurbished sellers

@@Divinefection you can check the IMEI of the phone to see if it's a fake, the IMEI is on the box or in the settings

I recently traded in my S22 ultra and got a sky blue S23 ultra in 512gb for $329 directly from Samsung . Couldn't pass it up tbh .

@@AustincoleMcMichael lol so u paid 329 dollars... congrats on buying the same phone twice

@@TheTonytone77 the battery upgrade alone was worth that to me , I have a good job so it didn't bother me at all . Plus between the overall animation speed , video and camera being quite a bit better I'm happy with the LITTLE $ I spent . Oh now my phone also went from128gb to 512 and ram is now at 12gb vs the 8 I had . LoL well worth $329 .

@@AustincoleMcMichael u can't equate those lil differences to what the majority are doing ..it doesn't make sense 😕...that's why I commented...if u have the money that great for u and a small percent of ppl that upgrade for minor upgrades

Me too. That's why I'm keeping mine

Same here ! From Note 8 to S23 ultra. From 64 GB to 1 TB

What an Upgrade. Speechless

I went from a trac phone sky j pro ( Something like that forgot the name) to the note 20 ultra which I'm type this on.. So I know the feeling.. I was going to do a small upgrade and ended up with this😂

how exactly does that make you speechless....? @@waseemquereshi

I actually had this in my notes to say (because I mentioned the Note20 Ultra's bump) but then forgot haha thanks for putting it here. I'll pin it

@@TraeldornTech Hot take but I agree, the S23U feels kinda... Chonky

looking into getting one as well, how's yours holding up?

​@@elouis364 Loving my N20 every day.. I can last a whole working day with the display set at full brightness with ample battery life for photo taking, design work ,social media and moderate gaming. This phone does it all and its as flashy and head turner like its siblings the S21, S22, and S23 with its form factor. Still holding up very strong. Definitely get one 😎😎😎.. Oh and if you do a lot of heavy outdoor usage it probably wouldn't hurt to pick up a power bank for extra juice. Luckily for me I can last the whole day with a couple close calls. 😊

Does it justify the x3 times the price? No

Didn't mean to reply your comment lol

You lucky guy that phone is amazing i already have it 2 years the only downside is battery life

​@@stefmetselaar4744 how is the battery life and is it Snapdragon version?

Exynos the battery is oke not amazing

I have a Note20 ultra global and im very happy with it!

How much longer will it be supported?

Can iuse it for 4 years again with no updates?

that thin form factor and the color (rose gold) is what i miss 2

Dont let your thoughts or wishes go towards FOLD, you will lose your brains.

Just get a new battery

Fold4 Takes better Pictures. Always remember the Software. Although you have less Zoom and less MP, every picture is going to Look better. I Had both, i mean, i still use My fold4. Exynos 990 vs Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 (at least in Europe) 8k is also going to Look better on the Fold. The ultrawide is the Same, but with better Processing on the Fold. In the Fold you also got directors View. Aaaaannnndd: 3x is better than 5x. I mean, the 5x is cooler, and the best would be to have both, Like s21/2/3 Ultra, or the new S24 Ultra, but If you only can choose one, 3x is more often needed. And the 3x on the Fold 4 is able to shoot 4k60. The notes 5x is only Up to 30fps

Hey mate! Thank you! So the answer to your questions is yes, with some steps. In regards to things like fall detection working without Bluetooth, if you got her an LTE watch and set it up with an appropriate plan with your network provider it absolutely works out of range from bluetooth. That'll depend on network capabilities on the country you live in and what provider she's with. The other thing about steps monitoring, if you set your mother-in-law up with a Samsung account and turn on syncing, then you log onto that Samsung account on another device with Samsung Health, the data will sync across and you can see all the activities!

Thanks for your quick reply. I suspected the fall detection would work over LTE since it looks like what the watch will do is to send an SMS message. So it should be able to do that over the LTE regardless of if it is connected to the phone at the time or not. The issue that I have with the health tracking is not just getting access to the data, but we want to be able to see the data in real time. So, how does the watch send health data to the phone? I suspect that it is over bluetooth. If it is away from the phone, can the watch still send the health data via wifi or LTE? Does it send it to the phone over those other protocols, or does it send them to the Samsung cloud? I also have questions about how the Samsung Health app works. Is there any way to access that data from the web? Or is it entirely a phone app? It would be nice to look at that data on a laptop, but I have not found any way to do that. I also have an issue with battery life on the watch as I don't want her to have to charge the watch. We can't rely on her to remember to do so, nor to remember to put the watch back on after it is charged. So ideally we could get 2-3 days so that my wife can charge it while she is there with her mom during her regular visits. Is there any way that we can continue this discussion outside of these comments? I have a lot more questions to ask. And I appreciate the research that you have done. You are looking at the Note20 Ultra vs the S23 Ultra (I currently use a Note20 Ultra), the watch, and Samsung apps. I have been =struggling with Samsung vs Google apps and have started to wonder when is the right time to get a new phone. And there is all that I am trying to figure out how to use a watch for my mother-in-law. So you are providing information that is very valuable to me. Thank you for doing that.

The only really difference in see is that the 23 Ultra has better battery life thats it. Yes its goving to her more software updates. But I m sure Nova Launcher on S20 Ultra can counter that. The battery life is an extra hour and a half.

How come, my note 20 ultra got Snapdragon CPU while everyone in the cmt didn't 💀😭

I pulled my old s20 fe out the draw which runs the 990 and I’m actually surprised that it runs sweet. Does get warm like you said and it’s not very efficient, but those flaws aside it runs well. Forgot how snappy and good the little phone is tbh. Think 13 and 5.1 is its last upgrade though which is a shame as it’s still very capable.

iOttie has one that fits it perfectly!

Wow, the sarcasm...

Only battery life and camera I think

The S23+ is a great alternative. The battery life will be definitely the best of the S23 range. The video performance on the S23 series is worth the upgrade alone in my opinion. I have a smaller s23, I might do a comparison to the ultra to show the differences

I was thinking of trading note 20u phone with my father s23u(once he buy it). Can u advice me? I love my note 20u speaker can u tell me more about ur s23u? Is it worth replacing my phone? sd slot will be missed😢

@@Sandra-xd6vq its a great upgrade but if you dont want to spend over 1000usd at the moment just keep note 20u. i would say s23u is literally the same as note 20u. if you give note20u the bigger battery and brighter quad hd 120hz screen it is the s23u. like i said s23u has tiny speaker not that bad but i really think note20u has better and louder speaker and it has sd card. if you can live with its short coming dont upgrade. note 20u would probably work til 2028 til some apps starting to not work by that time its really time to upgrade

@@Sandra-xd6vqoh if u plan to switch with your dad then yeah go take s23u. the battery alone says a lot. just replace the battery of your note20u before giving it to your dad to be fair😆😆😆😆

@@JaelLo-uu3zm haha alright thank u so much for ur review :) appreciate it

Note 8? How about Note 4? Of course N20 doing great at night or just low light scenarios, but in day light N4 pictures\video looks much sharper and more details. Especially if digital zoom is used in video, at 2x it is not too bad still N4 is better, but going to 4x N20 is blurry mess when N4 looks just great. N20 does have better DD\HDR, night mode, and proper manual mode, but looses in contrast and details slightly in day light scenario.

Why does this count for you? Does it make a difference in build quality?

@@PURETENNISsense because the quality and workmanship is of a higher quality. Production standards and quality control is at a higher level

@@PURETENNISsense I believe it is of higher quality and resale value

As they say the best camera is the one you have on you! The Note20 Ultra still holds up for sure. The main reasons I believe to upgrade would be the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and the more flexible cameras. Outside of that, if you're happy with Note20 Ultra it's still a great phone in 2023

Trade it in they give u 800 trade in value in some mobile companies

Yeah that's a great point. Reason it slipped my mind is we never actually had MST active here in Australia as we had a very high NFC adoption rate in every retailer, so the banks never actually switched it on

The SD card I can definitely empathise with. I made the move to cloud storage a few years ago when SD cards went away but I do miss then convenience if microSD. The screen size is only 0.1 of an inch and side by side I honestly don't even notice it. The bigger battery battery, better cameras and updated everything else overcome the minor shortcomings compared to Note20 Ultra!

I agree! In Australia though we only got the exynos and that was the device I had access to

the same thing happened to me but I dropped it hopefully a new camera module well fix my problem

Yeah, absolutely. As I said, if phones stopped getting made after Note 20U, then you'd be comfortable for years!

@@techwithbenefits 🥲

Thank you. I made this in part to showcase that the Note20 Ultra is still capable in 2023. Glad you got to confirm that feeling from me!

I'm on the same boat... I updated my software on the N20U and got the green line. As samsung doesn't recognize the issue in our region, my only option is to upgrade to the S23U with trade in. I'm still contemplating if I should do it, because I don't want to let go of my note. Still, it's a ticking time bomb for me to decide as I heard the green line will only get worse...

It used to be the best .. In 2020
