Design


Samsung have made some slight adjustments to the overall design of the Galaxy Note20 Ultra which may confuse long-term users of the phone series.

The volume and power buttons have been moved to the right of the device, making it easier for those who use their right hands to use their phones to turn the volume up and down. However, this also means left-handed users who were used to previous models will need to adjust.

In addition, the S Pen stylus housing has been moved from the right side of the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra to the left side.

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra has a matt glass rear bordered by stainless steel rather than aluminium.

One element of the camera design for users to note is that the camera unit on the rear of the phone is large and prevents the phone from lying flat on a surface so a case is required.
