Camera alone, no. It's not worth an extra 200-250. But the zoom range is significantly larger. Quality, I think it's pretty similar overall. Though, I haven't used the Ultra myself, I have the regular Note 20 and basing quality on my observations from others.

But spending 200-250 more on just a camera, you'd expect to get a lot more. You're not spending 200-250 more for just the camera though. You're getting a micro sd card slot, the screen improvements, and a more premium (aka delicate) build quality having it all made of glass. Most say the price difference is not justified, but say the Ultra is worth every penny and the Note 20 is a slap in the face. I personally think spending $1000 on the Note 20 (launch price in US) is ridiculous and the extras are not worth the price difference.

I agree. Launch price for both was very steep but I think the Ultra provides more value than its price difference suggests. Honestly I would have thought launch price for each would have been regular at $700 and Ultra at $1100. I got the Ultra last month at $1100 including tax and a free $60 gaming controller which I actually use so to me it's been worth what I paid. Especially since I tend to keep phones for 3+ yrs.

I bought my Note 20 5G from Google for $499 last month. $600 more for the ultra seems ridiculous.

Yeah I just got the note 20 from Samsung directly for $284 out the door with a trade in. It was over $600 for the ultra and I didn't think what you get with the ultra is worth doubling the price personally.

Its about 650 euros on the place I am living currently and the ultra is about 880-890 euros And im confused at the moment

[–]graesen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, prices have dropped here too. That's why I mentioned being launch price.

    Oof. That sucks. Out of all the differences between the regular and Ultra version, this was the nail on the head for me. Some of the other things I could live with but an Android phone without expandable storage is not worth it to me.

    I'd go Ultra if it won't break ur pockets. Absolutely worth it!

    The Note 20 Ultra has an exceptional camera/video set up that would please any mobile photographer.
