Galaxy S21 Ultra vs Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - Should You Upgrade? By sakitech

Hey guys soccer from saw key tech and in today's video we are going to be talking about the Samsung Galaxy note, 20 ultra versus the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra the biggest question that I've been getting even before the release of the actual s21 ultra is. Do I upgrade from the note 20 ultra to the s21 ultra and in this video we are going to be looking at every aspect of these smartphones and give you a precise answer? So, let's dive in and get started, and the very first thing I want to talk about is the actual price, so both of these smartphones retail at the same price of thirteen hundred dollars, and they both start at the same storage level of 128 gigabytes. So overall, pricing and the storage options are exactly the same on both of these smartphones. Now, let's move on and talk about the display where we do have a major change. First, let's break it down when it comes to the display sharpness display resolution display quality. These phones both have the exact same display.

They both look stunning they're, both super bright, and they're, crisp and clear. So when you're watching movies playing video games watching YouTube videos, they're going to look exceptional the best on the market. Now one thing the s21 ultra actually gets a benefit is when it comes to the 120 hertz refresh rate. Now the Samsung Galaxy note, 20 ultra has a 120 hertz refresh rate. It is an adaptive refresh rate, but it is only available at full high definition plus resolution.

If you max out the resolution and go to the maximum resolution, the 120 hertz is not available, but when you go over to the s21 ultra, it also has the same 120 hertz adaptive refresh rate, but this refresh rate is available both on full high definition plus resolution and also on the highest we HD plus resolution as well. So that's one thing to keep in mind: you're now getting 120 hertz adaptive refresh rate on both smartphones, but the s21 ultra is giving you the option to use it at maximum resolution now. One more thing to note is the note: 20 ultra has a larger screen, 6.9 inches on the note 20 ultra 6.8 inches on the s21 ultra. So let's say you do upgrade. You're, actually getting a smaller screen with the s21 ultra another important thing to keep in mind for people that, like larger screens now, let's quickly talk about the build of these phones, the build quality, so real, quick guys.

I know we love the internet, but everything that you're doing online is basically being tracked by everyone, including your service provider.

Now, let's quickly talk about the build of these phones, the build quality, exactly the same note 20 ultra s21 ultra. They both have a gorilla glass Vitus as their glass construction, and then they have a metal band around the edges, so they're, durable, high quality builds on both they're equally well-built. Now, when you move on to design things differ a little the note 20 ultra has its signature, boxy professional, looking design uh, which I prefer over the s21 ultras curved corners.

It's a more rounded design, as opposed to the boxy design of the note 20 ultra, but that's all going to be completely subjective, and it's going to be up to you. I just prefer the note 20 ultra myself, so there's nothing here that would warrant an upgrade as far as the build quality and the design of the phone is concerned, and when you flip over the cameras, I do like the new styling on the s21 ultras camera. However, it is pretty clear that the note 20 ultra is also stunning crafted with precision. I think both of these phones look stunning. It's all going to boil down to whether you prefer a boxy professional, look a little more playful, rounded design on the s 21 ultra.

Now, let's move on and talk about the processor. Here again, the s21 ultra is going to see an upgrade which is usual, it's the newest phone on the block. So it's going to have the latest processor. The key is going to be. Is the processing upgrade uh worth the actual upgrade? Okay? So the note 20 ultra has a snapdragon 865 plus processor, which is plenty powerful.

Even today, it is still a flagship processor, in my opinion, but the s21 ultra now has the snapdragon 888 processors in the United States and most of the rest of the world gets the Enos 2100 processors. So this is going to bring a 10 to 15 percent increase in overall performance now in real life. Is this performance gonna matter? Absolutely not? So if you're in the upgrade boat, do I upgrade from the note 20 ultra to the s21 ultra? You probably should not worry about the processor at all, because even though you're getting the newer processor, it's really not going to do anything for you, because the note 20 ultra still is capable of playing the heavy-duty games running the latest applications super smooth and the overall experience is also silky smooth. It's going to be the same on both smartphones you're, not going to notice that performance upgrade as much as you think, even though physically there is an upgrade. So in my opinion the processor is not going to be a big deal.

Now, let's go move on and quickly talk about the battery life. This is going to be a little tricky because the Samsung LLC s21 ultra now has 5 000 William hours of battery. The note 20 only has 4500 William hours of battery, so you will think that the s21 ultra is going to get more battery life than the note 20 ultra. But here's the problem going back to the 120 hertz refresh rate when you have 120 hertz refresh rate and the maximum resolution enabled at the same time it is simply going to eat more battery than when you have 120 hertz enabled, with the full high definition plus the medium resolution, which is what the note 20 ultra has so for anybody running the s21 ultra at maximum resolution. Maximum refresh rate the battery life is simply going to be same.

Both of these phones are going to give you a full day of battery after a full charge. So again not a huge concern. In my opinion, both phones have a support. Uh superfast 25 watt charging, so they'll charge fast. Uh they'll go from zero to 100 within one hour and 10 minutes no problem.

They both have wireless charging. They both have reverse wireless charging, so you can charge other products on the back of any one of these phones so again so far in the battery department. There's nothing dramatic happening now. Let's move on and talk about the s pen, the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra now gets s pen support the Samsung Galaxy note.20 ultra already has the s pen and also there's a slot in the note 20 ultras body, where you can insert and hide the s pen with the s21 ultra. You don't have that option.

You have to buy the pen separately, and then you have to buy a case, a specialized case that can actually hold the s pen and your s21 ultra at the same time. So that also goes back to the price. With the note 20 ultra, you don't pay for the s pen, the s pen comes free with the s21 ultra. If you want the s pen, you have to go and spend another couple bucks to actually buy it, and then you have to buy a case to put the s pen in the case, so it becomes portable goes wherever you go with your s21 ultra the s. Pen.

Functionality is going to be approximately the same on both of smartphones. You can write, you can sketch, you can navigate using the s pen, you have these specialized software functions. You can do with the s pen, but with the note 20 ultra the s pen is in the body. Okay, it's got a slot in the actual body with the s21 ultra you have to first buy. It then buys a case, and then it becomes portable to go now.

Next up, I want to talk about the fingerprint sensor. Both of these phones have an in-display fingerprint sensor, but the Samsung yellow cs21 ultra now has a slightly larger fingerprint sensor, hiding under the display. So it's going to be more fast and more secure, as opposed to the one on the note 20 ultra again, not by a huge margin, but there is an improvement in that category all right. So the final thing I want to talk about has to do with the camera, so the Samsung LC s21 ultra cameras have seen an upgrade on the front. The s21 ultra is gonna.

Give you 40 megapixels. The note 20 ultra is going to give you 10 mega pixels. So if you're satisfied with your selfie performance on the Samsung Galaxy, note 20 ultra there's nothing to think about here, not a big deal on the rear cameras. The s21 ultra gets one extra camera, so the note 20 ultra has triple rear cameras. We have a 108 megapixel main camera, and then we have an ultra-wide and a telephoto camera, and they're both 12 megapixels.

Now, on the Samsung, yellow c note 21 ultra, we also have a main 108 megapixel camera, and then we have a telephoto camera and an ultra-wide camera. Both of these guys are actually 10 megapixels, but then we have a fourth camera and that one is an additional telephoto camera, also at 10 megapixels, so you're getting an extra 10, megapixel telephoto camera, which is going to enhance your zoomed in shots. So you are going to see a slight improvement on the s21 ultra when it comes to cameras, but it's not going to be anything dramatic for the average consumer. It probably looks exactly the same now if you want to be a pixel scientist, and you want to inspect every little pixel. Of course the s21 ultra is gonna.

Have some improvements? There's gonna, be software improvements, there's going to be some sensor improvements, and then you have that extra camera for better zooming in capability. But again this is not something the average consumer is even gonna care about the reason, especially being because the note 21 ultra already has such an amazing flagship level camera that having five to ten percent improvements really doesn't mean anything. It doesn't warrant an upgrade. So that was the final category I want to talk about now. Let's do a quick summary.

We talk about the price, which is almost the same. The storage is the same. Display is the same except for the 120 hertz refresh rate option, something to think about for people that really care about this feature. The build is the same. The design is going to be up to you.

The processor, of course, is going to be better on the s21 ultra but in my opinion, again not strong enough to warrant an upgrade same with the battery life. Nothing dramatic here, it's not like you're getting 50 increase in battery life, but rather maybe just five percent of extra battery life, which should not warrant and upgrade in any way. And then I explained the s pen situation to you. It's more convenient to have the s pen on the note 20 ultra period. So overall, if you just crunch these, this information all together and if you own a Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra, you do not have to upgrade to the s21 ultra the note 21 ultra is still going to satisfy you as a flagship.

You can wait till the note.21 ultra comes out, but even then I don't think it's going to be a big, huge difference. So, okay to answer your question, if you're in the market and if you want to upgrade from the note 20 ultra to the s21 ultra, do not upgrade if you're in the market to buy one of these phones, whether you want to buy the s21 ultra or the note 20 ultra they're, the same price, I would just go with the s21 ultra. Unless you want the s pen, I would just go back to the note 20 ultra, because it's a more convenient s-pen device with the s21 ultra you're going to have to spend extra money on a case and the s-pen to get the functionality. If you don't care about the s pen, and you're in the market to buy either one of these phones, then you can get the s21 ultra if you want, because they're the same price and with the s21 ultra you're, simply getting the most up-to-date processor and other features I mentioned. But remember, if you already own a note, 20 ultra do not upgrade to the s21 ultra.

It is not going to be worth it at this point in time, maybe next year, all right. So that is the conclusion. If you have any questions, comments or concerns drop them down below and let me know for now guys have a fantastic day. Let me know what you ended up doing in the comments below.
