When it comes to smartphone technology, there is no way Samsung can be left behind and the smartphone manufacturing giant doesn’t disappoint when it comes to launching the 5G enabled smartphone as well.

Apart from the top-notch displays, Samsung has incorporated the latest and most powerful chipsets and cameras to these devices, along with a whole set of top-of-the-line features to give users everything they ever wanted.

The only thing that’s little tricky with these devices is the price range that goes as high as $1,499 for high-end variants, making them one of the most expensive smartphones available right now. However, we believe you can go with the lower-end variants which may cost as much as $999; which may still seem higher, but definitely offers better value for money.

So, we have yet another device from Samsung in our list (we ought to have), and this time around its with the Stylus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G is undoubtedly one of the best smartphones that’s available in the market with 5G connectivity.

As a norm, the best part about Note 10 Plus 5G device is the stylus pen which we all love since it was first introduced by the company. You can easily use the stylus for taking notes or sketching or for any other task for that matter. The experience will only be further enhanced with the 5G technology that will boost the upload and download speed greatly.

Now, this is surely an expensive device for the liking of many people, however, for the stylus lovers and people who love to have their hands around a high-standard quality device with state-of-the-art features, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G is definitely a worthy choice.

5. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

Interestingly we have yet another 5G enabled device in our list from Samsung, and this time around its even more powerful and feature-packed than the other devices.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is most definitely one of the most expensive and power-packed 5G enabled smartphones available in 2020. The device packs cutting-edge features, inspiring specifications, and tons of power.

It comes with a top-of-the-line 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The most noticeable feature of the device is certainly its camera system that comes at 108 MP main camera with the mind-wobbling 100x digital zoom capability. As you can expect, the device is powered by the top-of-the-line chipset, so you definitely won’t miss out on power for that sake.

Honestly, while the Galaxy S20 Ultra may be the most powerful 5G connectivity smartphone available in the market in 2020, it definitely isn’t the perfect phone. To start-off the price is way too expensive for the liking of the majority of the users, and compare it to the baseline models of Galaxy S20 (which all comes with 5G connectivity), there isn’t any significant update (apart from the imposing camera system).
