Should I buy a used Galaxy Note 20 Ultra or a new Galaxy A35?

For most buyers, a new Samsung Galaxy A35 is the smarter purchase. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is an older 2020 flagship, so a used one can come with wear from prior use, especially battery aging.

The A35 gives you a brand-new 5000 mAh battery, versus the Note 20 Ultra’s 4500 mAh battery, plus a 13MP front camera compared with the Note’s 10MP selfie camera. It also comes with a warranty and is the safer pick for long-term reliability and support.

Choose a used Note 20 Ultra only if you really want the S Pen, the more premium build, or the stronger flagship-style camera hardware, and you’re comfortable buying an older phone with the usual used-device risks. Keep in mind that exact software-support details and the condition of any used phone can vary, so it’s worth checking the specific device and current official Samsung support information before buying.
