The Galaxy Note is gone, but has the S Ultra TRULY replaced it?

We last saw the Note with Galaxy Note 20 but a few years on has the Galaxy Ultra series done a good enough job of replacing that Note line of phones?

  4. While it was a shame to see the SD card AND the headphone jack go (the Note9 had both), onboard storage performs much better than SD cards and is faster, so I'd rather have 1TB built-in than 512GB of each. Of course Samsung charges an arm and a leg for extra onboard storage, but I always get as much as I can which is currently 1TB.

  8. No it is not.
    Yes it's the successor to the diluted note branding.
    The note was a phone with a goal of no compromise not just a big screen and a stylus.
    But diluted over the years the no compromise got rid of the headphone jack, micro SD card, IR blaster, removable battery and the innovative boundary pushing approach.
    Now it is just another carbon copy with a stylus.
    So sad.

  10. Only the name and sd card slot has changed. It's still the note. I've had every galaxy note since they come out.

  12. Hope have a galaxy note FanEdition only smaller (6.1 inch) and keep everything. 6.8inch is very big for carry out on pocket,

  16. This whole idea is a little bit too much for me. I have had a Note (Note 8), then I had a S20+ (albeit not a Note). I have a friend that was a Note fan starting with Note 2 I think. He has a S23 Ultra and I never heard him say he misses the last Note by name. I am writing this on S24 Ultra that I got just a few days ago. What I am trying to say is that Note is just a name. Samsung could have retired the Plus line and continue with Note. Any Ultra after Note 20 is a Note, as long as there is no higher ranking phone than Ultra. But I guess people will be people and hand into a name. It Sony had released Playstation Portal as a mobile gaming device instead of a Remote Play one, I would have bought it (PS Vita is another device loved by many, but discontinued).

    PS: we should not compare chipsets from 4 years ago with the ones from today and complain about Ultra being more expensive than the kast Note. Unfortunately the price of the chipsets had increased and next year S24 Ultra will most likely cost more. Blame Qualcomm for being greedy and benefiting from a sort of a monopoly. I do miss the SD card, but I think a Note 24 Ultra would have had the same configuration. I personally blame Google for discontinuing the SD card.

  20. Great video! From a business standpoint, merging the old S Ultra with the Note was a good idea. However, from a design perspective, it's still very clear that even in the S24 generation, the Ultra feels out of place. Its design is mostly well-received, (debatable ergonomics, but I digress) so Samsung should use the same design language on the S and S Plus, yet they don't. It's still a Note with a different name, in a family where it doesn't belong, if that makes sense. The push to make every Samsung phone look the same (even the most budget A series) except the Ultra to make the Ultra more unique and desirable by comparison will eventually backfire.

  22. I'm still on my Note 8 and hoping to switch to the S24 Ultra. As a replacement phone that will run faster and have better battery life, I think its a great upgrade, but the lack of a microSD card slot and headphone jack are gonna sting. There are ways to compensate for those omissions, but still…

    And a more niche thing I'll miss is the rear fingerprint sensor… The gestures with the sensor to open the notification shade are so convenient. Gonna miss that when I finally do swap.

  23. I've been a Note user since 2013 and the Note 2.
    Atm, my daily driver is a S22 Ultra, my "beach and sports" phone is a Note 10+, and there still is a Note 3 somewhere in drawer.
    For me, my S22U is a Note 22
    Period

  28. No the the ultra series hasn't even come close to replacing the note line, first of all starting from the note 10 the S devices should have had s pen support and seeing that Samsung had the know how just shows that they just didn't want to include the feature, secondly if Samsung would take the time to develop a pen for the fold series in the design of the note and not a big ugly design that the ultra line gets; redesign the folding spine where the fold closes and make an internal s pen silo and include the pen with the purchase of the device, the fold could easily replace the note and 3rd if the note 20 5g ultra would get one more update to Android 14 if something were to happen to my fold 3 I'd go back to my note

  29. I still am on the note 20 ultra funny enough, but thay needed to add the sd slot back into the s series or rather back into the s series, also thay maybe need to make a cheaper ultra nowπŸ˜‚, or the smarter solution, make the plus version come with a pen, so the regular s no pen ans plus and ultra a pen.

  30. Samsung recent faulty new products, and flat out admitting they wont honour warranty even if against the country law. Why are samsung getting soo much promotion on here? They should spend their panic advertising budget on quality controll. Much different company vs 5+ years ago

  31. As an s23 ultra user, when I upgraded from my note 10 plus, I was super bummed when they got rid of the micro SD card slot. I like my s23 ultra but I loved my Note 10 plus.

  32. I have had all of the Notes and the S Ultra is basically a Note, but not quite as fully stocked as the Note was. However, I wouldn't want a phone without a pen.
