Here’s everything rumor or tidbit so far about the forthcoming Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. We think we know what it will cost and what it looks like.
As we have seen with almost all recent flagship Samsung Galaxy hardware, plenty of tidbits, information, and images have leaked. We’ve been sifting through the masses of Galaxy Note 20 rumors to better segregate fact from fiction. The extensive leaks of the Galaxy Note 20 series thus far, have meant that the rumors are actually far less “out there” than in recent years. We have a very good idea of what to expect and what the experience of the next Galaxy Note series smartphones will likely bring to the table. Some of you may be looking to upgrade or might even have an eye on the rumors as to what the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra might offer ahead of launch. Considering that last year we saw the first proper divergence of the Note lineage but a move closer towards the Galaxy S series, you may be holding out for something a little different. With the release expect at Unpacked on August 5, the Galaxy Note 20 series has been confirmed to launch alongside the Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Tab S7/S7+, Galaxy Buds Live. and the next-generation Galaxy Z Fold 2 — which is effectively the Galaxy Fold 2. Hands-on leaks, renders, and rumors have given us a very good look at just what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. The design will skirt a fine line between the Galaxy S20 series while offering a slight refinement over the Galaxy Note 10 series from late-2019. Large displays are a given with the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra coming with 6.42 and 6.87-inch AMOLED displays respectively. The smaller Note 20 is set to come with a flat display, while the Note 20 Ultra will include a curved display — which might annoy some hardcore fans. This will be the first smartphone to come with a Gorilla Glass 7 display though. There are some nuances with these displays too, as the rumors suggest that the Note 20 is set to come with a 60Hz refresh rate — and not a 120Hz panel. The Ultra will come with Samsung’s top tier 120Hz panel, but we’re not sure if it will be capable of QHD+ at this high refresh rate. We’re going to see a bit of a divergence or split in the standard Note 20 and the Ultra versions this time around. Display sizes and shapes aside, the Note 20 looks like it might be made from cheaper materials with plastic dominating rather than glass and metal. The backplate is expected to be “glasstic” rather than glass this time around. The Note 20 Ultra will be the ultra-premium device, with metal and glass dominating.
