The coronavirus will not prevent the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, the brand’s new flagship. Expected for the end of the summer, the smartphone should be available in two models, at least, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus, or rather Ultra.
What Is The Design Of The Galaxy Note 20?
-
Up front, the differences with the Galaxy Note 10 are almost non-existent.
-
A new “copper” color is highlighted.
-
At the rear, the photo module broadly reflects the prominent rectangle of the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
As we can see, the smartphone would offer a front panel very similar to what we knew on the Galaxy Note 10, with a camera in the top center and a screen that takes up most of the front panel. It’s actually the photo module that really sets the two generations of smartphones apart, and we understand why the first official photos of the product therefore focus on the back, rather than the front. These images were subsequently confirmed by first real photos of the smartphone and its S-Pen stylus.
The phone’s screen would be 6.9 inches diagonal for a device measuring 164.8 x 77.2 x 8.1 mm.
The famous Evleaks also got their hands on images of the classic Galaxy Note 20, with a 360-degree rendering of the smartphone. The differences with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra seem minimal: the photo module seems a little less imposing and we can note the absence of the periscope sensor (recognizable on the Ultra by its rectangular shape). According to sources, the back of the Galaxy Note 20 is less qualitative than that of the Ultra model, with a material used closer to plastic.
Characteristics: Exynos 992 And 120 Hz Display
-
In Europe we should be entitled to the Exynos 992, a revisited version of the SoC of the Galaxy S20.
-
The Galaxy Note 20 is expected to have a Full HD + display at 60Hz, while the Ultra should go up to QHD + and 120Hz.
-
The battery capacity is expected to range from 4300 to 4500mAh, less than the S20 Ultra.
Samsung should once again offer different configurations for its smartphones depending on the country. In Europe, the Exynos 990 would be used, as on the Galaxy S20, but the chip could have been slightly revised according to some rumors. More countries are expected to find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+. In both cases, we will have compatibility with 5G networks.

On the screen side, the 120Hz refresh rate would make a comeback, after a successful debut on the Galaxy S20 earlier this year, but with a new, less power-hungry iteration, a good sign for the smartphone’s battery life. Note that the 120 Hz would be reserved for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, while the classic Galaxy Note 20 would use a Full HD 60 Hz screen. This suggests that like the classic Galaxy S20, the Note 20 would have everything in reality of a “Note 20 Lite” and it is the Note 20 Ultra which should be entitled to the best of what Samsung can offer.
Finally, regarding autonomy, the Galaxy Note 20’s battery would be 4300 mAh, and 4500 mAh for the Note 20 Ultra. A lower capacity than the 5000 mAh of the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Some Additional News :
In terms of the new functions that will animate this Galaxy Note 20, we can count on a revision of the One UI interface which would go to version 2.5. DeX mode could be revised to work completely wireless, a new step after the disappearance of the dock. As a reminder, DeX mode allows you to transform your smartphone into a real computer, with an interface developed by Samsung and integrating compatibility with GNU / Linux software.
Samsung is also expected to integrate Microsoft’s cloud gaming service xCloud for the first time. The partnership between the two giants would make the Galaxy Note 20 the first “Xbox smartphone” on the market.
What Is The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Release Date?
-
The presentation will take place on August 5.
-
Release should be scheduled later this month if Covid-19 has not delayed production.
The subject of the conference leaves no room for doubt when looking at the invitation. It shows a drop of ink, in reference to the smartphone’s S-Pen stylus, with the copper color seen in the Samsung Russia leak. During this presentation, Samsung will also unveil four other products which we already know the identity.
Pre-orders are expected to open immediately, for launch sometime in August. There is still uncertainty about the stocks available due to the Coronavirus outbreak at the start of the year.
What Price For The Samsung Galaxy Note 20?
According to a first leak from Ishan Agarwal, here is what the prices of the Galaxy Note 20 range should be in Europe :
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G : 999 dollars.
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra : 1299 dollars.
