The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is the second-most expensive non-foldable smartphone launched by Samsung this year. Just like every year’s high-end Galaxy Note handset, it is the most jam-packed phone from the company. It was recently reviewed by DxOMArk Audio, however, it only scored 68 points despite packing so many bells and whistles.

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra ranks distant eleventh in DxOMark Audio. Even the Galaxy S20 Ultra is ahead with 69 points. Nonetheless, the new Galaxy Note has the best artifacts score of 90 points setting a new benchmark. The previous record-holder Black Shark 2 Pro had scored 88 points in this regard.

Further, the device performs well in terms of timbre while recording with precise high-end even with background noises. The loudness is also great in selfie videos and in the memo app. But the smartphone has above-average dynamics and volume performances in playback.

Talking about cons, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra lacks high-end extension in playback and due to this, the tonal balance and spatial performance are affected. Also, the balance is shifted to the bottom right in playback.

Lastly, as for drawbacks in recording, mono recording by memo app impairs wideness and localizability, whereas due to lack of low-end extension, tonal balance is impaired, especially in portrait mode.
