3 reasons to spend $1,000 on

the Samsung Galaxy Note 20,

and 3 reasons not to

Newer isn’t necessarily better. BY MICHAEL SIMON

Y

ou might think the new $1,

Galaxy Note 20 and $1,

Galaxy S20 are two peas in the

same pod as “affordable”

counterparts to their high-priced Ultra

siblings. They’re not.

While the Galaxy S20 is basically a

smaller version of the S20 Ultra, with the

same chip, RAM, and screen tech as its

pricier sibling, the Galaxy Note 20 shares

very little with the Note 20 Ultra. Samsung

has set the cheaper Galaxy Note 20 apart

from both the Note 20 Ultra and the Galaxy

S20 Ultra with a number of changes, many of

which might make buyers think twice about

buying one. Here’s why your thousand bucks

might be better spent on the slightly older

Galaxy S20—or not.
