As Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 range nears its August 5 reveal, the leaks surrounding the upcoming flagship lineup have well and truly kicked into overdrive.
The latest revelations come from German site WinFuture. The regular Galaxy Note 20 will have a 6.7-inch, 1080p display that tops out at a very traditional refresh rate of 60Hz. (The Note 20 Ultra is believed to have an enormous 6.9-inch 3200 x 1440 display that runs at 120Hz like the Galaxy S20.) On the plus side, images make clear that the Note 20 has a flatter display than the Ultra’s somewhat curved edges.
Samsung is also reserving the 108-megapixel camera for its flagship Note 20 Ultra, opting for a 12MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, and 64MP portrait / telephoto trio on the back of the Note 20 that allow for 8K video recording and 30x zoom.
In terms of its specs, the site claims that the Note 20 Ultra will sport Samsung’s Exynos 990 processor in non-US territories (the same one inside its Galaxy S20 range), 12GB of RAM, a 4,500mAh battery and either 256GB or 512GB of onboard storage. Simply going by its strategy with previous iterations of the Note series, we have to assume that Note 20 models in the US will inherit the local S20’s Snapdragon 865 chipset.
The S Pen is held back a bit on the regular Note 20, with a 26-millisecond response rate for Samsung’s stylus compared to the newly improved, near-instant 9ms on the Ultra model.
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which will reportedly be available in Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze color variants.
As always, none of the information above should be considered concrete until Samsung itself confirms it at its upcoming virtual Unpacked event.
