Been curious, since note 20 (not the ultra) has plastic back, does it have features like wireless charging, reverse charging and all other things associated with the premium glass back phones?? Bcos so many people have been criticizing it.

From what I've gathered they only did the Note 20 to make the Note 20 Ultra look better. I think the Note 10+ is a great alternative from the Note 20, price-wise and spec-wise.

Don't forget, Note 20 5G doesn't have 120hz refresh rate...it's 60HZ like the Note10
you can find the manual for the Note20 5G here

Actually, in the Sansung's Gallery, each time i say WOW about pictures, when i asked people which device they use it's always a S10+...even if i have a Note 10+ i prefer pictures from S10+ but...photographer can be the default

If you never use a S-Pen, do you think you need one now ? S10+ would be a lot better than S8+ . and it's a Award Winner :

The Note 20 would be a good phone to buy at around $700, at $1399, it's kind of laughable.

The Note20 is basically the A71 5G with S-Pen, sold with a Note price. Not kidding. Design, specs, materials very closely match.
It goes without saying that the A71 5G is much less expensive than the Note20. It retails for less than 800CAD in the States. Check it: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/samsung-galaxy-a71-5g

Although not my cup of tea, most figures that I have come across suggest the light Note makes up about 45% of Note sales. So, its working for some.

Hi vickybantin, With a specially reinforced Polycarbonate material that provides the portability without compromising on durability, Galaxy Note20 is the ultimate phone for practical use with a premium look design.
We diversified our portfolio to make it easy for consumers to choose the device that’s best for them. That’s why we’re offering two versions of the Galaxy Note20 series. Galaxy Note20 Ultra is designed for Note fans who demand the ultimate in power and productivity, and Galaxy Note20 is for broader Note users looking to maximize their time for work and play.

do NOT buy the regular Note 20. It is probably one of the worst phones samaung has released recently in terms of what you're getting for what you're paying.

In canada it costs 1300 dollars, and youre only getting 128 gigs of non expandable storage, a pretty average camera, PLASTIC, and only 60HZ display. Please do some more research on brands smartphones that are going to cost hundreds of dollars less, yet offer much more. If you want an SPen buy a Note 10.

Ignore the marketing mumbo jumbo the moderators have been copying and pasting. "Specially reinforced polycarbonate" is code for "plastic back". "Diversified our portfolio" is code for "we purposely created a terrible phone to try and get customers to buy the better value, yet much more expensive model".

Hi JohnH, Sorry that you are not happy with my response and yes, the note20 is having a plastic back made of fine material. I will take this as your feedback and try to deliver information that doesn't seem like marketing.
