Which is better S21 Ultra or Note 20 Ultra?

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra packs a newer Snapdragon 888 processor, while the Note 20 Ultra is powered by a Snapdragon 865 chip, so it's not a big surprise that the S21 Ultra offers better performance.

Is S21 plus better than Note 20 Ultra?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is our winner here, beating the Galaxy S21 Plus in most departments. Its screen is visibly sharper and clearer, it offers more internal memory and a better all-round camera, and it comes with S Pen support.

Which is better Note 20 Ultra 5g or S20 Ultra 5g?

If I were spending my own money, I would buy the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra over the Galaxy S20 Ultra. For $100 less, you get a dynamic 120Hz display, a laser auto focus sensor for the camera, and a smaller than lighter design. Even if you don't really need the S Pen, the Note 20 Ultra is the better phone.

Which is best Note 20 Ultra or S22 Ultra?

The Galaxy S22 Ultra squeezes in 500mAh more juice than the Note 20 Ultra, and it can recharge faster. Samsung supports 45W charging speeds on the S22 Ultra, much higher than the 25W max of the Note. However, overall charging speed isn't much different.
