The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the most flexible, powerful Android productivity tool available, with spectacular connectivity, long battery life, a fantastic stylus, and a gigantic screen. It's also a do-over. Samsung's huge, luxurious slab of Qualcomm's finest chips and the latest Gorilla Glass, is what the Galaxy S20 Ultra should have been. Where the S20 Ultra stumbled in the camera department, the Note 20 Ultra features a laser autofocus module that fixes its predecessors failures, making it the phone to turn to for reliable super-zoom. My only real hesitation here is the Note's top-of-the-line $1,299 starting price, which feels out of touch with our pandemic-ravaged economy.

Design: You Already Know It's Big

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is very large. At 6.49 by 3.04 by 0.32 inches (HWD), it's noticeably taller and ever so slightly wider than the Galaxy Note 10+ (6.39 by 3.04 by 0.31 inches). It isn't wider than the iPhone 11 Pro Max (6.20 by 3.06 by 0.30 inches), but it's much taller. I can't really hold it in one hand and operate it with the same hand, but I can comfortably hold it in one hand and operate it with the other; this is a true phablet. The 6.9-inch screen goes to the very edges of the device and waterfalls down the sides, so if you hold it in a death grip, you'll have some edge-touching issues.

In addition to increased protection, you'll probably want to the put the phone in a case to smooth out the camera bump on the back—it's a big rectangle with sharp edges that can scratch other things in your pocket. It's narrower but a little bit taller than the S20 Ultra's camera module, which is already a bit of a mountain. The bump seems to be the price you pay for the 5x zoom periscope-style camera.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

  The Samsung Galaxy S10e has almost everything its bigger siblings do, in a more hand-friendly form factor at a lower price. It even one-ups the more expensive Galaxy   phones   with a better-located fingerprint sensor and a more case-friendly form factor. At $749.99, it's a perfect staging area to wait for the   5G   revolution coming in the next two years, and our first Editors' Choice flagship phone for 2019. Samsung's trio of S10 models offer similar performance, with different physical sizes and prices. The S10e starts at $749. The "regular"  S10  costs $899, with a bigger, curved screen, and a 2x zoom camera. Finally, the large  Galaxy S10+  starts at $999 and adds a second camera (for depth) on the front. The S10e isn't actually that much smaller than the S10. It measures  5.6 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches, while the S10 is  5.9 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches. The S10+, meanwhile, measures  6.2 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches. I generally find phones over 2.8 inches wide to require

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G Review

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is everything you need, and nothing else. Samsung pared down its flagship S20 series to a more palatable $699.99 price, and the result is a value-minded standard-bearer to properly face up against the forthcoming  iPhone 12  line. With fast performance, solid cameras, and often substantial discounts at major wireless providers, the S20 FE 5G becomes our default  Android phone  recommendation for 2020, as well as our Editors' Choice. So Many Options, So Much Time Samsung has a ton of phones out right now, but the two you should keep in mind are the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the  Galaxy Note 20 Ultra  ($1,299). These two models offer flagship and super-flagship performance; the S20 FE will satisfy most people, while the Note 20 Ultra adds an even better screen, an S Pen stylus, and the best phone camera we've tested. ADVERTISEMENT They're also a reset from Samsung's strategy earlier this year. While we recommended the $1,199  Galaxy S20+  as our Edito
