I tell you what, if the regular Note didn’t have such dumbed down specs I’d be getting that one. Flat screen is awesome and the green color was so pretty.
 
Less RAM
Less storage
Lower screen resolution
Plastic back (I'm fine with, but not at $1000)
Older generation of gorilla glass
No SD card slot

I want the flat screen too, but samsung can eff off.

Yep same prefer the flat screen to the crappy useless curved screen. But unfortunately they have gimped it down too much to consider. I would have also strongly prefer the smaller one.

But went with Ultra since that or nothing. One good thing is the curved screens on Samsung have reduced a lot and on the S20 it wasn't that bad. The one on the OnePlus 8 pro was so bad that I couldn't tolerate that phone for more than couple of weeks.
 
I like how the camera color matches the body not like on the S20 where it was just a black box.

Yeah, on the S9 and Note9, it would have a looked a lot better if the camera housing was black. They finally perfected their design with the S10. Camera housing looked badass in black on just about every color S10. But with a camera bump/housing this big? I agree with you, the shimmery/darker shade of the phone color itself looks awesome on both the white and the bronze.

I agree 100%. Sammy just dumbed it down a little too much.
