Samsung usually launches its new Galaxy Note smartphones in August and it looks like this year will be the same for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20.
Previous rumors had suggested that the handset may be delayed due to the coronavirus but it looks like Samsung is still planning to launch the device in August.
According to a recent report, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 smartphones will be launching this August.
Samsung has apparently been making preparations for the event, although it could end up being an online-only event depending on what is happening with the current situation.
Expected Features and Specifications
The Galaxy Note 20 series is expected to come with several upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 10. Rumors suggest that the Note 20 will feature a larger display, possibly around 6.7 inches for the standard model and up to 6.9 inches for the Note 20+. The display is expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate, providing smoother scrolling and better gaming experiences.
Under the hood, the Note 20 series is likely to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor in the US and Samsung’s own Exynos 990 processor in other regions. This will be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, ensuring that the device can handle multitasking and storage needs efficiently.
The camera setup is also expected to see significant improvements. The Note 20+ might feature a quad-camera setup with a 108MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, a 13MP periscope telephoto lens, and a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor for depth sensing. This would make the Note 20+ one of the most versatile camera phones on the market.
Software and Additional Features
On the software front, the Galaxy Note 20 series will likely run on Samsung’s One UI 2.5 based on Android 10, with an update to Android 11 expected shortly after launch. One UI 2.5 is expected to bring several new features and improvements, including enhanced multitasking capabilities, better integration with Samsung’s ecosystem of devices, and new S Pen functionalities.
The S Pen, a hallmark of the Galaxy Note series, is rumored to come with new features such as improved latency for a more natural writing experience and new air gestures for better control of the device without touching the screen.
Battery life is always a concern with high-performance devices, and the Note 20 series is expected to address this with larger batteries. The Note 20+ might come with a 4,500mAh battery, while the standard Note 20 could feature a 4,300mAh battery. Both models are expected to support fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.
We are expecting a number of different models in the Galaxy Note 20 range, one of them is the new Note 20+ which recently turned up on Geekbench. As soon as we get some more details about the new Galaxy Note 20 and also the Galaxy Fold 2, we will let you guys know.
The Galaxy Fold 2 is also generating a lot of excitement. It is expected to feature a larger external display and an improved hinge mechanism. The internal display might also see an upgrade to a 120Hz refresh rate, similar to the Note 20 series. The Fold 2 is likely to be powered by the same Snapdragon 865 processor, ensuring top-notch performance.
In conclusion, despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Samsung appears to be on track to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 in August. With significant upgrades in display, performance, camera, and software, the Note 20 series is shaping up to be one of the most exciting smartphone releases of the year.
