If you are unsure about the bean-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, the Galaxy Buds Plus proves to be a good pick, especially if you are looking for a pair of truly wireless earphones. The buds are light and compact and bring home a comfortable and snug fit. The sound quality is balanced, and if you are not a fan of heavy bass, these earphones are the ones for you.

The Galaxy Buds Plus comes with touch-pads at the top, which lets you skip songs, answer calls, summon your phone’s voice assistant and even tweak the volume. And the feature that I like the most is the Ambient Sound feature, which lets you allow some ambient noise. The best part is that you can also control the degree of Ambient Sound.

The noise isolation is spot on and provided you have put on the right set of buds, and you won’t be bothered by outside noise. At the same time, the Galaxy Wearable app makes customization easy. For example, you can play with the equalizer or even control the app notifications, among others. And the ability to juice the charging case by resting it on your phone is the cherry on top.

The best part is that whenever you open the case, you will be greeted with a pairing prompt on your Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

However, the Galaxy Buds Plus is not for the lovers of bass-heavy music. If you prefer music with a heavy bass signature, you can try out the Jabra Elite 75t (see Jabra Elite 75t vs. Galaxy Buds Plus).

2. Wireless Charger: Anker PowerWave Charger

When it comes to the looks, the PowerWave is one of the few good-looking charging pads. And the metal strip around the pad accentuates its looks even further. And thanks to the rubber pads at the bottom, you do not have to worry about the charging pad slipping.

Apart from Samsung phones, it works equally well on iPhones and supports USB-C Power Delivery on compatible phones.

The best part of wireless power banks is that you can top up the battery of your phone by resting it on top of the battery pack. Yeah, no more hassles of searching for compatible cables and wires.

Samsung’s Super Fast portable charger boasts of a 10,000mAh power backup and wireless charging ability. Yeah, you read that right. If you do not want to be bothered by wires and cables, you can simply rest your phone on top of the battery pack, and it will be taken care of. The power bank bundles two USB-C charging ports, and the good news is that it supports 25W charging over USB-C PD (Power Delivery).

If you choose to use the wired charging, you can rest assured that topping up your Galaxy Note 20 will be wrapped up pretty quickly. However, when it comes to wireless charging, it can deliver power at only 7.5W. On the upside, you can use the wireless charging module to top up your Galaxy Buds Plus or your Galaxy Active 2.

When it comes to charging the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with a 4,500mAh battery, this 10,000mAh battery should give you around 1.5 full cycles.

As you may already know, the power rating of power banks is calculated at 3.7 volts instead of the 5 volts that’s usually used for smartphones.

4. USB-C Adapter: Anker USB-C to HDMI Adapter

5. Tripod: Joby GorillaPod 1K Kit

The Galaxy Note 20 is a camera oriented phone,and it’s only natural that you’d want to get the most out of it. Be it recording a video or capturing a beautiful landscape with the wide-angle camera, the list is pretty endless. However, when it comes to shooting using the Pro Mode or capturing light trail, it would be best to invest in a quality tripod such as Joby GorillaPod.

The Joby GorillaPod can be mounted on any surface, be it balcony railing, tree arms, apart from the standard tripod position. Its octopus-like flexible legs can wrap around anything and give you the frame as per your liking. The ball head can bend and rotate 360-degree and tilt 90-degree respectively, giving you more flexibility to frame your shots in the landscape mode, portrait mode, or anything in between. And well, you can use it as a hand-held tripod as well.

Though it appears small, don’t let the small size of the tripod fool you. It can carry weight to up to 1KG and double up as your camera tripod.

The GorillaPod 1K is quite popular on Amazon and has received a fair amount of user reviews. As per Fakespot’s estimates, around 63.3% of the reviews are reliable and can be trusted.

The Spigen Slim Armor CS case is for those who do not want a case with a difference. This dual-layered case shields your phone from scratches, bumps, and dings and lets you carry cash and cards with you. There’s a slim pocket at the rear of the case, which is big enough to keep at least two cards.

The Slim Armor CS is a hardshell case that wraps snugly around your phone. It comes with raised lips along the rear camera and the front edges to help keep off scratches and dust from the camera lens and the display.

On top of that, the corners are reinforced with air cushion technology to minimize the brunt of falls and impacts. However, the device’s safety will come at a cost, and in this case, it’s the slim factor of the phone. The Slim Armor CS case adds its share of bulk to the phone, and you will end up with a slightly thicker phone.

Apart from the above, you can also get a car charger such as the Nekteck USB Type C Car Charger if you are out on the road a lot. The USB-C PD ports will charge your phone at full speed. Besides that, the charger has a humble appearance and easily plugs into charging ports.
