Wireless charging and NFC do not require a glass back, a plastic back works fine

The only problem with these is metal backs. The Galaxy Note 20 has a plastic back, wireless charging, and NFC.

I keep running into people who think a glass back is necessary, so I wanted to try to slow down that rumor.

What other phones have a plastic back with wireless charging or NFC? The Pixel 5 is rumored to have them all....

People should really stop caring about raw specs and pay more attention to actual software performance.

Android is not similar to Windows, where better raw hardware automatically means better performance. In snapshot you can see my 3+ years old Moto G5 Plus delivering excellent results (Battery replacement + reset after 3 years). Smooth and consistent -- even after having 90+ apps, 3 Google accounts, 1 exchange account and 2 user profiles. Thanks Motorola -- even though you provided only single delayed update, but you know how to code. Thank you for coming to my TED-Talk.

Honest thoughts on the Note 20 Ultra after using it for 3 weeks

Over the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of using every Samsung flagship phone (except for the S20). So, I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Note 20 Ultra and see how it compared to my Pixel 4XL and iPhone 11 Pro.

Here are some of my thoughts after using it for 3 weeks. [I also made a video review](https://youtu.be/UTVCcxKUBsI) (it's my first time making a tech video).
