I was very pleased with the battery life on the Pixel 4XL. It wasn't quite iPhone 11 battery. Nothing can match that (at least of the phones I'd consider), but it was pretty good.
I was the opposite. Found the 4xl battery poor. Like the phone but the battery drain killed it off for me

I used it earlier this year, so I wonder if by the time I got my hands on it, the battery drain was fixed. Or...my expectations were so low that I thought it was awesome because of that.

Samsung protective case with kickstand. I dropped my phone from my lap getting out of the car yesterday and my heart skipped a beat but the case saved the phone from any damage, including the screen.
I have that case as well. It seems solid, with nice grippy sides. It works well with all of the wireless chargers that I own.

The Mous Limitless 3.0 in black leather is a nice combo of durable case with leather touch, but they don't have one out for the Note 20's yet. I have had one before on an iPhone. Great case as long as you like black :)

For lots of color choices the Burkley York 360 looks nice, but it isn't a hybrid.

So I caved and now have the Note Ultra in black with the silicon case. It’s a nice case and has a thinner profile than the Apple version which makes it light weight.

Loving it so far, I might sell the 11 Pro Max while I can still get a decent price for it.
I like the case cover due to the bump isn't that noticeable. Makes the phone seem not as big as it really is

Hope you enjoy the phone..not missing my iPhone due to some of the superior features. I use Spilt screen and smart pop up window everyday.

These make picture in picture not needed

What colour NU20 did you go for again?

Picked up a black Note 20 Ultra yesterday. I'm now officially Apple device-less, even though it wasn't really about escaping the ecosystem. I moved on from Mac in February when I built my own Windows gaming rig (best decision I've ever made) and from there it just kind of spiraled into me not giving a damn about 'this platform vs that platform' wars, and getting the devices that best suited what I want from a feature set standpoint.

The FPS is much better in this Note 20 than I remember it being on my S10 a couple years ago. It want even bad then, but this one definitely seems quicker and more accurate.

Besides the S Pen, what's some cool things you do with your Note that you can't do with an iPhone?

Now that xCloud won't be coming to iOS, I'm even more tempted to switch.

For me its spilt screen multitasking and pop up windows where you can have multiple apps over and quicker access to texts notifications

Aside from s pen features this are two areas which i have enjoyed coming from the iPhone. Dex is also even better than I thought too

What do you use DeX for largely? It's definitely a tempting feature.
