Ru Bhikha, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, comments:
“The top end of the smartphone market is dominated by a select few handsets with screens larger than your hand, bulging with cameras and costing a small fortune.
“The Note 20 and its big brother the Note 20 Ultra elbow their way into this elite group, with all the bravado befitting their top-of-the-line functions, including 5G as standard.
“The standard model packs a 6.7-inch screen, while the Ultra boasts a monster 6.9-inch display, the biggest on the market and matched only by the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
“While the Note 20 has a 64MP main camera and 3x hybrid zoom, the Ultra gives photography enthusiasts a 108MP wide lens and an optical 5x zoom which means no digital distortion to your pictures.
“A 4,300mAh battery means that most users should be able to get through the day on a single charge.
“With prices for the Note 20 Ultra 5G starting at £1,179, this launch marks one of the most expensive handsets of recent times.
“Our research found that the price of top-end mobiles are five times more expensive than they were in the year 2000. In fact, our data suggests that high-end smartphones could cost £1,800 within five years.
“The Note 20 and the Note 20 Ultra are bulging with all the top-end features and gizmos that users of premium handsets expect, but such technology doesn’t come cheap.”
