Well this weekend was a bit of a sad goodbye to my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. 

image

I got it as an upgrade from my Note 10 Plus. I get the new model every year.

I have been a fan of the Note series phones for many years.
The features and S Pen have been so handy to have.
Sadly the Note 20 Ultra very shortly after getting it, the screen got damaged. 
No idea how it happened as it was in my pocket.
Victus glass didn't work for me so far sadly.

Just pulled the phone out of my pocket and saw that.

Well as you imagine that it was an expensive repair from a Samsung approved agent. 

I wasn't sure about getting the white colour, but in the end I was happy with it.

Thought it was a great looking phone. 
One surprise for me was the cameras. Loved the shallow depth of field the cameras produced. Even made good use of the zoom camera.

Really good feature to have.

So it is making way for the Galaxy Z Fold 3. One of the things that swayed me to get it was the S Pen functionality. 
Being able to split screen multitask with the Pen has been brilliant, but with the Z Fold 3 screen being so much larger. It should make life easier. 
The larger S Pen will definitely help with photo and video editing.

Really hope there will be another Note phone at some point. 
Still have my Galaxy Note Fan Edition, so I will still have one around.

I will say that one of the main features I will miss badly is being able to quickly jot down notes without unlocking the phone.

So it's bye bye Note 20 Ultra 
Hello Z Fold 3

Good point.
Need to do a follow-up with it.
I'm enjoying it so far. Is it better than the Note 20 Ultra 🤔
Need to think a bit more about that. They are both so different.
I will see if I can post a follow-up this week

Looks like I'm going to the fold because my Note 20 ultra did the same thing cracked on its own.

Unless you want the Fold, I'd recommend the S22 Ultra as a replacement for the Note 20 Ultra

Whilst I do not have the S22 Ultra would agree that is the more obvious successor  for the Note 20 Ultra.  Many would say a Note in all but name, some comparisons in this article https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/buyers-guides/samsung/159992-samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-vs-note-20-...
