I actually agree. I have and enjoy the Note 20 Ultra with the smaller battery. The S20 Ultra was not, to me, as enjoyable, larger battery or not. I am just pointing out that the choices are already being made.

Honestly, as someone that has the Note 20 Ultra and thinks it is an amazing device, I think that Samsung has little choice and competition has forced it into this decision. I know that some on this forum don't want to admit it as they understandably love their Notes, but the internal pen takes...

Fox News Business has reported that development work on the Note series has stopped. Samsung is instead looking to the foldable phones as the new flagship line. https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/samsung-may-discontinue-its-premium-galaxy-note-phone-next-year-sources.amp

They could perhaps, but they didn't this year. The S20 Ultra has a 5000 ma battery now, but it doesn't support the S-Pen, so if you want the pen, you go for the Note with its smaller battery. But it looks like the S21 will have both larger battery and the S-Pen and a case to hold it. Time will...

Interesting question. I think Samsung has been wanting to kill off the Note line for a while. Not based on the rumors, but just what they have been doing (or not doing with the line). Samsung has been forced to make compromises for the Note series for a while because the S-Pen takes valuable...

I have the Note 20 Ultra, a phone that I originally rejected. I had the S20 Ultra and returned it because it seemed just too heavy and uncomfortable. I ended up using the S20 Plus for a while, but when the Note series came out, I initially thought it was an S20 repeat. But I eventually tried the...

I preordered the S20 Ultra, coming from a Note 10+5G. Kept it for at most a week and returned it. Still have the Note 10+5G. Why? Way too thick, too heavy. Felt like carrying a brick. The Note 10+5G is a much easier to use device. With that said, just today I received a S20 Plus 5G. A very...

My Ultra arrived today and it is going back. To me, it seems very heavy, not comfortable to hold at all. I have a Note 10+ 5G and was hoping for better battery life, but this is just too heavy. It also seems a bit top heavy and seems unbalanced in my hand. So, back to Samsung. My Note 10+5G is...

Yes, it is wider by 1.2 mm, about a 20th of an inch. Not much at all. But it is the thickness of the case that seems to give it the different, bulkier feeling. That is why I am looking for recommendations for a slim case. As I said in the original post, it may be the case itself that causes it...

Yes. Put that one in my shopping cart for more review. Thanks again!

I have heard them mentioned for other phones before but never looked at them. I will. Appreciate the suggestion!

Thanks! I will look.

It is also thicker (8.8 mm vs 7.9 mm). I have the specs in a spreadsheet. I also have a Note 10+ right here in front of me. And I have a case that feels very thick and large. I can only tell you that in holding both of them, holding the case for the S20 feels very different from holding the...

I have an unlocked 128 GB Ultra on order - FedEx has the label and it should arrive Wed. However, the Samsung silicone case, among other items, has not indicated that it shipped. I won't use a phone that pricey without a case and so I ordered an inexpensive case from Amazon. Minimal in design...

I should mention regarding GPS problems. I cleared the data storage for Google Maps when it was showing wrong locations. Not just the cache, but all data storage for the Maps app and reinitialized it. GPS problems were gone and never returned.
