DXOMARK released the camera review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The smartphone received a total of 121 points. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G DXOMARK scored 130 points for taking pictures and 101 points for video shooting.
In terms of photography, Samsung abandoned the time-of-flight sensor on the S20 Ultra this time and adjusted the telephoto camera on the Note20 Ultra. The main camera remains unchanged, 1/1.33 inches, 108 MP pixel sensor, 3X3 pixel combination to ensure 12 million final images, and is equip with a standard wide-angle equivalent focal length of 26mm lens, f/1.8 aperture lens blessing, and laser focus, dual pixels Phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS).
The telephoto camera is a standard 12 million pixels, with a 120mm 5x zoom periscope lens (strictly speaking, 4.6x). The S20 Ultra uses a 48MP Quad-Bayer sensor and a 103mm lens. In our zoom shooting test, the S20 Ultra’s performance is slightly unsatisfactory, let us wait and see the latest configuration performance. For the ultra-wide-angle lens, Samsung is not surprisingly using the tried-and-tested combination of 12 million pixels, 1/2.55-inch sensor, 13mm equivalent focal length, and f/2.2 aperture lens. This combination has performed extremely well in many recent models.
If you are interested in dynamic images, Samsung Note20 Ultra 5G can capture 8K video at 24fps, 4K video at 64fps, full HD up to 240fps, wide ultra-clear up to 960fps, and HDR10+ video dynamic image processing, stereo recording and Gyroscope electronic image stabilization (gyro-EIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS). With so many technologies, let us take a look at how it performs under the DXOMARK camera test.
Main camera specifications:
- Main camera: 108 million pixels, 1/1.33-inch sensor, 26 mm equivalent focal length, f/1.8 aperture lens, with laser focus, phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS).
- Telephoto camera: 12 million pixels sensor/1.0µm pixel, 120mm equivalent focal length, periscope lens (5x zoom), f /3 aperture lens, with phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS).

Conclusion:
Although the new shooting function of Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G was publicized, the final result was slightly disappointing. Samsung developers once again adjusted the camera combination of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, chose different sensors and lens specifications for the telephoto camera, and abandoned the time-of-flight sensor for the bokeh shooting.
In most cases, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra’s image quality is excellent, and Samsung’s high-end models have excellent exposure, excellent details, and vivid colors. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is no exception. So it deserves to be ranked high in our database. But the main problem is the zooming ability at close and medium distances, which affects the excellent performance and cannot be ranked further in the DXOMARK Camera database.
