Note 20 Ultra Camera Test + Hands On! By NothingButTech

You remember when Samsung came out with the s20 ultra and we all kind of expected the world from that camera and then a lot of the images kind of came out like soft and mediocre. Well, Samsung has added some new hardware to the note 20 ultra to try to fix those issues. The question is: did they? This is my first impressions with the note 20 ultra in my hand, and also my first impressions on the camera. I'm also going to have full camera comparisons and a review coming of the note 20 ultra. So if you end up watching this video, and you like it, be sure to subscribe and turn on the bell notifications, so you don't miss those videos, but we have to dive in first thing that I noticed when I picked up the spoon that I obviously couldn't tell by just watching. The press.

Brief is how big this is in the hand like it feels massive, and I'm a huge fan of this design. Aesthetic, but the boxy shape definitely contributes to that big feeling in the hand I like it, though it looks really futuristic and clean and if you're into big phones. This is one of the biggest ones yet, and I think you'll dig it. I also actually really like the camera bump and it kind of helps with holding the phone like. My finger naturally rests underneath it because of how large this phone is, and I also know that most general consumers like do not care about the camera bump at all.

I think it looks really nice, though another thing that I didn't notice when I was just watching the press briefing is the finish. So obviously I could see the finish, and it looked spotless, and it picks up significantly fewer fingerprints, but something I couldn't tell by just watching the press briefing was how slippery it was going to be so. This matte finish definitely feels more slippery to me than other glass phones that have like the glossier fingerprint prone finish. So when you combine that with how big it is, I'm a little nervous about it like sliding out of my hand at times. So that's definitely something to note the rail in between the display and the back is also extremely thin, because this is a curved display again, but I actually think that Samsung has gotten so good at making curved displays feel comfortable in the hand that this feels extremely comfortable, and that little ridge feels nice.

It doesn't feel like sharp. It doesn't cut into your hand. Another thing that I noticed right away was the fact that the logo actually like, has a texture to it. It feels different from the rest of the back and that's unlike a lot of other phones that I've tested, and also it looks like it's like dual layer. So I'm not sure if it's just my unit, but the layers are slightly like misaligned.

So if you look really closely, you can tell that. I do like that. The logo reflects some light, though, like this entire finish just looks incredible. The s pen has also moved sides this year. So it's now on the left side, but it still has that same really: clickable addictive nature to it, and it just slides right in there.

I, like it a lot, and this will be a big win for lefties. I think, but for past note, users there definitely will be a small adjustment period of getting used to not hitting it out from the right side, and they also move the speaker to the side. So I think that it probably has something to do with structural integrity because of how large the camera bump is. There probably was a reason uh to make the phone like not flex or bend. Obviously I don't know that for sure, but that's just what I'm thinking all right.

A couple other things before we dive into the camera. The display is absolutely beautiful, so it's a massive display, and it's also a curved display, and I think that you probably know my thoughts on curved displays. By now. I prefer flat displays because of palm rejection issues, and also it makes it a little harder to get like a protective case, but I think that out of all curve displays in the market Samsung does it the best their problem. Rejection is really fine too now, because they've just been doing curved displays for an extremely long time.

So, although I do prefer flat displays, I can't deny that this curved one looks great and futuristic AF, and I've only been testing this phone for like three or four days now, so I can't give you a definitive on battery life, but I'll. Definitely let you know about that in the full review, but I think it's time to hop into the cameras. Let's do it, so the ultra in terms of specs has 108 primary sensors, a 12 megapixel wide and a telephoto lens with 50 times ability so on the s20 ultra. You would get like 100 times zoom, but I think that Samsung knew that that wasn't incredibly practical, all the time, and instead they've refined 50x to be relatively sharp. I was pretty impressed by it also a big asterisk here.

This is not the final software, so I'll. Keep you posted of these thoughts that I'm about to say change, but for now it seems to me that the laser autofocus sensor, they included, has definitely helped with autofocus in a lot of scenarios, so especially in video. The focus is perfect. Now, almost to the point where sometimes it's a little too good, where it feels a little jumpy like there's, not a smooth transition from one point of focus to another, but I would take that over not focusing at all- and it looks great and also the sensor is so large that the natural depth of field is also awesome. A lot of the time like some of the videos that I got from this phone and outdoor lighting could even potentially pass as maybe mirrorless video, which is incredibly impressive.

This phone also has a pro video mode built in which is also really nice to see and Samsung had said in the briefing that, for note users they focus more on video and for s users. They focus more on photo and I think that, while that's true, they definitely also focused on photo, and the photos were really great. Overall focus. Fringing is definitely still here, though, and for anyone that doesn't know it's. Basically, when you get so close to a subject at a certain point, only a little part of that subject is in focus and the rest of the object is really out of focus so a lot of times with like a mirrorless, camera or DSLR.

If you wanted to get close to something, but still have a lot of things in focus, you would just put that aperture at a higher number, because the wider, the aperture, the less in focus the smaller the aperture more in focus, and I think that if Samsung did not get rid of dual aperture, which why did they get rid of that? This would not be a problem because you could just alternate in between the apertures. But the fact that this is a fixed, aperture lens means that you will get focus fringing in some of your shots, it's kind of inevitable, it's across multiple flagships, and it feels like it's. Maybe a little better on this phone than it has been in the past, but it's definitely still here, but that large sensor size definitely does have its advantages as well as some of the shots that I took on. This phone were incredibly impressive. With the both and the natural depth of field, some shots literally had me say out loud wow, so that's awesome, and I'm definitely going to keep shooting with the camera.

I need to test out photos of people and selfies and more video, and I'm going to do all of that in the camera.
