The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is easy to overlook. With its 6.9-inch adaptive 120Hz display, meticulous glass-and-metal design, and absurd triple-camera bump, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is impossible to overlook. However, the regular Note 20 lacks all of these features, leading some to dismiss it as a low-cost afterthought in Samsung’s lineup of premium handsets.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is possibly the most expensive plastic phone available. To save money on curved glass, Samsung used plastic on the back of this phone. However, Samsung has made an effort to make the back of the Note 20 look as close to the Note 20 Ultra’s matt glass as possible. It has the same light-diffusing finish and appears to be textured glass until you hold it – and then it feels like plastic. It’s dubbed ‘Glasstic’ by the company. The sides of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 are metal, not plastic.
