The Galaxy Note 20 is Samsung's new entry-level stylus-included smartphone for 2020, but it's one that doesn't seem particularly exciting for the usual Note-loving crowd. It highlights some more affordable features compared to its more exciting Ultra sibling but it may well be just as good for those...

Strong camera spec; Improved S Pen

No curved edge; Weirdly low-spec screen

At least before the onset of the comet-like price decline, my first impression is that there is only one reason to buy the Galaxy Note 20 - if you really want that S-Pen badly and you're a huge Samsung fan anyway.

Great high-end hardware; Sophisticated S-pen control; Trendy design

Hefty launch price; Space Zoom ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

In the last year or so, Samsung has started splitting up its flagship experience with new "Ultra" devices. At first, it seemed like these new, higher-end phones simply had more and better stuff to elevate them further, but with the new Note20 series, I think it's clear Samsung is intentionally...

Software OneUI is pleasant to use now (even if Samsung's stock launcher is still derpy); Size and shape Samsung made a flat screen work at this size without being awkward or unwieldy; Performance This is a very fast phone; Battery life Ridiculously good.

So let's do a recap of what we like about the Galaxy Note 20. We really liked the low-key design, S Pen, Samsung Notes app, the battery longevity, and camera performance. It's too bad the display doesn't have a 120Hz refresh rate though, and some of you may have wished it wasn't made mostly out of...

The South Korean giant’s latest Note is good, but not quite gold standard...

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
