You told us: The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is still worth buying a year later
August 07, 2025
TheSamsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultrais the most recent Note device to be released, as the Korean manufacturer has skipped a Note release in 2021. Instead, Samsung has opted to bring S Pen support to the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3.
We conducted a long-term review of the Note 20 Ultra to figure out how it’s aged since a year ago, while also asking readers whether it was worth buying at this point. Here’s how you voted in this poll.
Should you still buy the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra a year later?
We posted the poll inside ourGalaxy Note 20 Ultra long-term reviewon September 4, accruing just over 1,700 votes until now. The result? Well, almost 88% of respondents said the most recent Galaxy Note definitely is worth buying a year down the line.
Comments supporting this choice point to features like MST payment support, storage expansion, the dedicated S Pen slot, and great cameras. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 Ultra lacks the first three features.

On the other hand, 12% of polled readers say the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra isn’t worth buying one year later. There aren’t many comments supporting this option, but at least one of them points to theExynosversion being a no-go.
We also mentioned in our long-term review that the S21 Ultra packs a faster chipset, two telephoto cameras for improved zoom performance, a bigger battery, and 120Hz at QHD+ support. So these could be reasons for giving the Note 20 Ultra a miss too.
