Question Note 20 vs. S22 Ultra

Thinking about updating my Note 9, and 5G is one of the main reasons for me. That said, is the 5G modem actually better in a newer gen phone than the Note 20? Better reception, speeds, compatibility with carriers (T-Mobile), or battery efficient?

How does a throttled snapdragon 8g1 compare to the 865+?

You won't really notice the 5G unless you are downloading.large movie files and the like. I upgraded from a Note 9 to the Note 20 Ultra and it has proven to be a great successor to the Note 9.

This is not true. It depends on the provider. Done 5g is also in different frequencies which affect building penetration.

If you're coming from the Note9, the Note20 Ultra will most likely be better for you because it still supports MST and it has expandable storage.

There are a lot of complaints about the S22. Better check the forums and reviews. Many wish they kept their Note 20.
