So I’ve using the Note 20 Ultra for about over a week now and I’m loving it, previous devices were the Note 10+ and Note 9. The Note 20 Ultra is slightly bigger than the Note 10+ but I don’t mind it, after a few days I’ve gotten use to having the volume and power buttons on the right side and the S Pen on the left side.

 

So what features have I enjoyed the most so far?

 

Wireless Dex is at the top of the list, being and avid Samsung Dex user, being able to use it wirelessly on my Samsung TV is amazing and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you’re good to go, however I don’t recommend playing a game like COD mobile when using Samsung Dex wirelessly, there’s some lag but still awesome.

 

The S Pen, using it as a remote for the camera, response on screen with the S Pen is quicker, Airview is awesome and using the S Pen air gestures are cool (still getting use to using them). I’m still loving the Screen Off Memo feature.

 

The camera, loving all the new zoom options, I couldn’t wait to test the 50X zoom to take a pic of the moon, I posted the pic in the Gallery section, I was happy with the results, this time around I will invest some time in learning how to use the Pro Mode.

 

Battery has been lasting all day like when I had the Note 10+, I haven’t really checked my on screen time, but I also don’t really care as long as it gets me through my day, which it has.

 

Gaming, I love gaming and have an Xbox One, so it’s awesome that Samsung and Microsoft have partnered up for Xbox Game pass Ultimate, to be able to play Xbox games with my Note 20 Ultra has been a blast. When my kids take over the Xbox to play their Minecraft game and I wanna play Gears Of War, I usually had to wait, but now I just connect my phone to Samsung Dex (wired), connect my Xbox One Bluetooth controller, launch Xbox Game Pass and play Gears Of War, there’s also a third party accessory that clips on to the controller and it holds your phone (I’ll be looking into getting it). Currently there’s about 50 Xbox games that you can play, but looking forward to September 15th when there will be over 100 game titles available to play.

Thanks for your review and for the  title of your review...but there is something i don't understand...

 

You say this : , I usually had to wait, but now I just connect my phone to Samsung Dex (wired)

but in the first part of your review,  you are talking about this : Wireless Dex is at the top of the list

 

So, if it is wireless,  why do you wired it ?

I think he is doing it just for the Xbox connection piece, perhaps more stable?

@Cassidy, let me clarify for you:
I usually had to wait: refers to when my kids are playing games on the Xbox, I had to wait if I wanted to play games on the Xbox, but with my Note 20 Ultra and a Bluetooth Xbox controller, I can play my Xbox games on my phone.

I just connect my phone to Samsung Dex (wired): as mentioned in my review about wireless Samsung Dex (which is awesome ) I said that I don't recommend playing games while connected wireless as there is some lag, hence I connect to Samsung Dex (wired) when I want to play games. Read my review of wireless Dex and the gaming part again if you need too.

You're welcome for my review but I don't understand why you're also thanking me for the title of my review 🤷🏾‍♂️

Following this forum is hard for me because english is not my language so when somebody is talking about something technical it's harder to understand when using the Google auto translator..

But now, with all the answers about it, it's more clear in my head and i understand better.

 

The reason why i say thanks for the title, it's because i wrote a post 2 days ago about Note 20 Ultra and 1 day after i saw the same tite on the forum from another people and this is not good ,  this is confusing for Samsung's Members users. With your title, confusion is avoid anf this is great.  Ambassador/Moderators should always verify it before writing a post.

 

Now, when you say there is a lag, is there a lag if somebody has bought a Moga XP5-X+ Controller  or if it's only by using Samsung Dex wireless ?

@Cassidy, as for the duplicate post titles, that's bound to happen once in awhile.

Playing a game, ex: COD Mobile connected wirelesly to Samsung Dex, there is lag, this has nothing to do with or without having the Moga XP5-X+

if i asked you that about the Moga XP5-X+ Controller , it's because bluetooyh has also a certain latency and like you're a gamer i just try to know if it's the same kind of lag (latency) to figure out.

 

Thanks for your answer...
