Samsung Galaxy Note 20

Overview

Samsung is all set to unveil its upcoming Galaxy Note 20 soon enough, along with the entire Note 20 lineup. This will reportedly be the cheapest 5G Samsung flagship so far. It will come with an absolutely stunning display and beautifully crafted design, but not so great cameras. All this for a relatively aggressive price might make this smartphone the most sought after flagship. Although the S Pen will very likely remain the same, it will reportedly arrive with a couple of tweaks and newly added features.

Design and Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is anticipated to have an incredibly immersive 6.7 inch (17.02 cm) Super AMOLED Plus display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. Contrary to the Note 20 Ultra, this is expected to feature a slightly smaller pixel density of 393ppi and an 89.18% screen to body ratio. The bezel-less punch-hole display is expected to be clubbed with HDR10+ to deliver an awesome viewing experience. It is also expected to feature a high 120Hz refresh rate to cater for seamless and lag-free gaming. The device will supposedly get Corning Gorilla Glass Protection and an IP68 rating as well.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will reportedly house an underwhelming Triple Camera setup at the back with a mere 12MP OIS PDAF camera as the primary sensor. However, this is expected to be accompanied by a 64MP telephoto OIS PDAF camera, and a 12MP Wide Angle camera as well. For capturing selfies, the device will supposedly feature a single 10MP selfie shooter on the front. Luckily enough, the device is expected to have a bunch of cool features like AF Phase Detection, Auto Flash, Auto Focus, Bokeh Effect, Continuos Shooting, Exmor-RS CMOS Sensor, Exposure compensation, Face detection, Geo-tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), ISO control, Optical image stabilization, Touch to focus, White balance presets.

Performance and Battery

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will very likely be powered by Samsung's in house Exynos 9 Octa 990 Octa-Core chipset clubbed with a Mali-G77 MP11 GPU to ensure a smooth and lag-free gaming experience. The device is expected to get 8 GB RAM for better multitasking without any hiccups and sufficiently large internal storage of 256 GB, which however cannot be expanded any further. The device is anticipated to be fuelled by a 4300mAh battery with support for fast charging and wireless charging as well. This will reportedly power up half of the device in just a total of 30 mins.

Software and Connectivity

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is expected to ship with Android 10 out of the box with the latest iteration of One UI on top. The device will supposedly offer a stack of connectivity options including Dual sim VoLTE support (Nano + Nano), Wi-Fi 802.11, ac/ax/b/g/n/n 5GHz, GPS, and Bluetooth 5.0. The device is also expected to arrive with an on-screen fingerprint sensor and NFC to make payments easier. Although it will have a USB Type-C port, the smartphone will reportedly lack a 3.5mm headphone jack.
