Preorders for the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have started, with Samsung, Best Buy, and carriers already offering several deals on the two handsets.
Samsung on Wednesday finally unveiled all the Galaxy products that leaked in the past few months. The Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra, Z Fold 2 smartphones were joined by the two Galaxy Tab S7 tablets, the Galaxy Buds Live earphones, and the Galaxy Watch 3. Some of these devices are already available for preorder, while others will hit stores later this fall. The Galaxy Note 20 preorders start on August 6th in the US and various markets, and Samsung is willing to throw your way the usual discounts that can make up for the sky-high price tags of the two handsets. The Galaxy Note 20 retails for $999 before any deals and promos, while the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra starts at $1,299. There’s no question, however, that the Note 20 is a significant disappointment considering what you get for $1,000. It’s not just the plastic that ruins the Note 20. It’s the entire package. Spec for spec, the Note 20 is a worse phone than the Note 20 Ultra. Or better said, it’s the Ultra that makes the Note series great again. There’s nothing wrong with the Note 20 being what it is. It’s the price that’s unsettling. Thankfully, there’s a way for anyone to save $999 on the Note 20 from the first day of preorders. I already explained how annoying it is to discover that one of the worst Note 20 leaks came true. The phone features a polycarbonate rear panel, which is a fancy word for plastic, which is not a fancy material for a flagship phone in 2020.
