About Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra presents itself as a large‑screen smartphone dominated by a 6.87‑inch color AM‑OLED panel that delivers a sharp 1440 × 3088 resolution. Its slim chassis measures 77.2 mm wide, 164.8 mm tall and just 8.1 mm thick, while weighing in at 208 grams, making it surprisingly manageable despite the expansive display. Under the hood, the device runs Google Android 10 and is equipped with 12 GiB of RAM, providing ample memory for multitasking and demanding applications. Power comes from a 4500 mAh battery that supports wired charging at up to 9 watts, and the phone accommodates a single SIM card for cellular connectivity.

Overall, the Note 20 Ultra blends a vivid, high‑resolution screen with substantial memory and a reasonably sized battery, all housed in a sleek form factor that aims to balance screen real estate with portability. The combination of its display size, resolution, RAM capacity and battery specifications positions it as a flagship‑oriented device focused on delivering a rich visual experience and smooth performance for everyday use and more intensive tasks.

This variant

This US‑specific model adds support for Verizon’s Ultra Wideband 5G (UW) TD‑LTE bands and ships with 128 GB of internal storage, whereas the base model’s description does not specify storage or carrier‑specific 5G bands. Compared with the other SM‑N986U variant that also targets the US market, this version halves the onboard storage to 128 GB while retaining the same UW 5G capability. It also differs from the Japanese, Korean and global editions, which offer 256 GB (or 512 GB in the US‑only 512 GB model) and, in the global dual‑SIM version, reduced RAM and a second SIM slot.
