Samsung Officially Launches the Galaxy Note 20 Smartphone

We’re in the month of August 2020. And going by previous years’ schedules, it means it’s time for the next Galaxy Unpacked event. And that also means that Samsung’s next Galaxy Note flagship will be announced. Today, following numerous leaks, as is the norm these days, Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Note 20. In addition to this, the team also launched the new Galaxy Fold 2 and a number of other devices thrown in as well.

Galaxy Note 20

As with the Galaxy S20 range, there is more than one variant of the Note 20. The first is the standard Note 20 with the Note 20 Ultra alongside it. The Note has always had a big focus on its screen and the S Pen, being the original phablet. Samsung has increased the size of the screen to 6.7″ on the Note 20 and a whopping 6.9″ on the Note 20 Ultra. Moreover, Samsung has eked out just that bit more in terms of viewing, pushing the boundaries to 91.8% screen-to-body ratio. The increase in ratio is also thanks to the even smaller selfie camera and a bezel-less design. As the norm for the modern flagship smartphone, the Note 20 range offers 120Hz screen refresh rate.

Other features include the new Hyperfast 5G technology, as well as the Notes Sync for instant sharing between shared devices.

In terms of the cameras, there are two offerings for the two devices. The Note 20 has a triple-lens setup with the Note 20 Ultra having a quad-lens configuration. The front-facing (selfie) camera has a 10MP lens.
