    Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra long-term review: The ‘last’ true Note?

    In any other year, this would be just about the right time to be excited about a new Galaxy Note flagship. Not in 2021, though. Samsung's giving the Note lineup a rest this year and is focusing on its new foldables instead.

    In fact, while the company hasn't yet cancelled the Galaxy Note series, the fact that it is bringing S Pen support to other flagships — the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 — isn't a good sign for the future of what is the best stylus-toting smartphone series in the business.

    That means the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra could be the “last” true Note offering from Samsung for quite some time, and those looking to buy one today will be wondering just how well it will hold up over the long term. Well, we've got part of the answer: We can tell you how well it has held up after almost a year since it first went on sale.

    Our long-term Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review is now up on YouTube, and you can check it out by hitting the play button below. Oh, and if you love the Galaxy Note lineup, we've got a petition going in the hopes that Samsung will give us a Note flagship early next year, even if it means skipping the Galaxy S line in 2022. Join all your fellow Note fans and sign that petition so we can get Samsung's attention!
