The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is here! These are my early impressions and first look at this ultra premium smartphone from Samsung. Mystic bronze, the 9ms S-pen, camera samples and more! Let’s dive right in! This video was sponsored by ESR.

I see on XDA that some are claiming they've already got their shipping notice from FedEx. I've always bought mine direct fro Samsung and have yet to get it early.

I think they all come from Coppell, Texas. Still nothing here, my son got a delivery Thursday in Allen, Texas but was only the buds.

I got a notification on my Verizon app that my note 20 ultra shipped today. Tracking info is showing Thursday delivery, but I'm hoping for that two day delivery ;)

Just received mine today. Transferring my data and everything over (holy crap that is a lot). I can't get over the size of the phone. It's big, but I love it! Going to order the Otterbox Crystal Clear case for it. Love that Mystic Bronze look.

Anyone else have 5G issues? Constantly won't load and says no internet connection.

Also I didn't get replacement S pen tips. Did they do away with them?

I'm on T-Mobile and not having 5G issues except it drains battery much faster. I read on XDA that the replacement tips and tool aren't present anymore.

I hope they changed the tip than. I usually have to change my tip 2 or 3 times a year.

Got mine Wednesday but didn't have time to mess with it until today. On a new phone I like to start from scratch instead of moving everything over from my Note 10 +. Took about 3-4 hours to get everything the way I like it and signed into all my sites and all my settings the way I want them. In comparison to to note 10 + size wise it's a little wider and a little taller and it seems a little smoother. For the time being while I'm breaking it in I've gone to LTE instead of 5G and 60Htz instead of 120Htz. I did do a speed test at home where I usually get 13-17 Mbps on LTE, on 5G the single test I ran got 65Mbps. It can be turned on and off as needed around the house. I got used to the buttons on the Note 10 on the left and now they changed them to the right. Haven't messed with the fingerprint scanner as I don't use any lock screen. Have installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco with a few adb commands and System tuner ui to get immersive mode also with 2 adb commands. Also installed substratum lite and synergy and themed it with Arkadia from the Play Store. So far so good.

How did you turn off 5G? Everything buffers here for me on it and it's making me regret this phone.
