Samsung Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Plus Leak: In February this year, Samsung surprised users when they released the Galaxy S2O, Galaxy S20 Plus, and the Galaxy Ultra. These series delivered according to most people’s expectations.
Earlier this year, Samsung announced again that they would be launching the Note series adding to their list of big phones. That is the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 plus. Samsung has however not come out yet to clarify when exactly they will be releasing them. They only disclosed that people should expect to see new products in the category of Foldable and Note models. However seeing as they normally launch their phones in August, we assume, they’ll do the same.
Ice Universe, a known insider from Samsung leaked some of the features to expect from the Galaxy Note 20 and the Note 20 plus. According to him, the Galaxy Note 20 Plus may face many surprising, but necessary changes. Its sensor will stay the same as before but will not have the 100x Space zoom function that was introduced with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. This one comes rather as a disappointment for many.
The Galaxy Note 20 will take on the Galaxy 20 Triple lens camera set up and Note 20 Plus may take up the Galaxy S20 Ultra-quad lens set up with the 108 Megapixel lens. This will hopefully work on the “autofocus problem” that has been common with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. We could see the Note series adopting the Galaxy S20’s camera’s with some changes to them.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Plus Specifications

It’s still unclear what the Galaxy Note 20 will look like. However, clues can be derived from a leaked image of its phone case that presents a large Galaxy S20 Ultra-style camera design cutouts, with a squared body. Just like the Note 10 sequel, on the right-hand side are tangible control buttons different from what we usually see on the right. We also hope to see Note 20 having a 6.42-inch screen resolution of 2345 x 1084.
The Note 20 Plus is likely to have a metallic body and a larger glass screen display of 6.87 inches backed by a resolution of 3096 x 1444.
The same Note 20 Plus module may take on the Galaxy 20 Triple lens camera set up with a flash unit. It may also adopt the Galaxy S20 Ultra-quad lens set up with the 108MP HM1 camera sensor. This camera choice is very possible as we saw the midrange Galaxy A71 has a 64MP main camera. This only makes it right for the high-end Note 20 Plus to achieve an even better camera.
There are also surprising rumours about the front-facing camera located at the top of the Note 20 and Note 20 Plus screens. It cannot be seen when the user isn’t taking photos or recording videos. We’ve seen only the companies like Oppo and Xiaomi that have designed concept phones with this similar ability. However, up to date, no single manufacturer has released a smartphone able to do this.
Rumours of this possibility arose after an image of a Samsung smartphone surfaced not having the usually visible selfie camera at the front. If Samsung can introduce such a feature to The Note 20 and Note 20 Plus, then it will certainly be a remarkable achievement in today’s tech industry.
The Samsung Galaxy Notes 20 and 20 plus will each have a new slot to hold the S-Pen Stylus. This new device extension is what will set them apart from all the other series.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Plus Storage
News around is that the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Plus will have 12GB RAM,128GB inbuilt storage which is smaller compared to the previous 256 GB for Note 10, just that it didn’t have a micro SD card slot. Maybe the new 128GB will even things out by including a slot for an SD card.
Speed and Battery
Both smartphones are likely to have the 5G compatibility, optimized OLED display, and Snapdragon 865 processor that will power U.S based phones. Exynos 990 CPU will power the European phone models. Their phone screens are designed in a way that causes them to release a small amount of blue light. This will promote longer battery life.
The Galaxy Note 20 will come with a 4,000mAH battery, an upgrade from the 3,500mAh from the Galaxy Note 10. It’s still not known what battery the Galaxy Note 20 Plus will get. However, it could get the 4,500mAh as it is with the Galaxy S20 Plus. Samsung could even surprise us and up it to 5,000mAh as it is with the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
The Samsung Note 20 Plus and Note 20 will have a 120Hz refresh rate like the Galaxy S20. This feature will accommodate smooth scrolling on different applications without draining much of the phone’s battery.
Colours
The boxy Note 20 may come in colours black, grey, red, and dark blue while the Galaxy 20 Plus may take on the black and grey colours.
Price of the Samsung Note and Note Plus
The Galaxy Note 20 plus will cost more than the Note 20 basing on Samsung’s usual pricing pattern. The Galaxy S20 was priced at $999, Galaxy S20 plus at $1,199, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra at $1,399. So, expect to buy the Galaxy Note 20 plus at a price above $1,000 or more.
Conclusion
There is all you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and the Note 20 Plus as we await confirmation on specifics. A lot may not change, as it seems like both phones are a rendition of the previous Galaxy S20, S20 Ultra, and Note 10, just slightly better. Will The Note 20 and 20 Plus live up to their hype? We will have to wait and see as soon as they are launched.
In case the current coronavirus situation goes on for a longer time, then there is a possibility that Samsung may release the new series online. That is by August 2020.
