Specifications

Hardware

The Galaxy Note 20 range may not feature a curved display like the S20 range but the Note 20's display might measure 6.42 inches (163 mm) with a resolution of 2,345×1,084 pixels, whereas the Note 20 Ultra may have a 6.87 in (174 mm) display with 3,096×1,444 pixels. Both phablets may come with a 20:9 aspect ratio and feature a Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen based on 16 M colours, under a HDR10+ panel in a pixel density of ~509 ppi.[10]

"LTPO" is an energy saving technology that may reduce power consumption through the screen of the phone. The build of the phablets may have Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back secured in an aluminium frame.[11]

It is not currently known if the phablets will get the same refresh rate options of that of the S20 range but what is known is that the refresh rate options may be 60Hz, running on a QHD resolution and 120Hz, running on a FHD resolution, of which the user can toggle with in settings. Battery capacity for the three phones may be 4500mAh.[11]

The Note 20 might have 128 GBs of storage whereas the Note 20 Plus and Ultra might have 256/512 GB options. All three phones may have 12 to 16 GBs of RAM (type LPDDR 5). It is unlikely either one of the Note 20 variants will have a headphone jack but the speakers are likely be tuned by AKG.[12][13][14] A Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ (7nm) (US and select regions) or a Exynos 992[15] (6nm) octa-core processor are likely to power the trio.[16][17][18] The three phones are expected to ship with 5G standard connectivity, though some regions may have special LTE or sub-6GHz only variants.[19]

Earlier in the month of July, Samsung purposely leaked renders of the device from their website showing a Gold-Chrome colour with a more redesigned S-Pen and rectangular camera module.[20]

Cameras

The Note 20 series may feature more better camera spcifications than that of the S20 range, which include a wide 108MP camera with an aperture of f/1.8, a focal length of 26mm, a lens size of 0.8µm, and a degree of 1/1.33", featuring PDAF, Laser AF and OIS. The Note 20 Ultra is rumored to have a 13MP periscope telephoto lens with an f/3.4 aperture, a focal length of 103mm and a degree of 1/3.4". The telephoto lens may also house PDAF, OIS, 5x optical zoom and 50x hybrid zoom. The ultra wide camera may be 12 MP with an f/2.2 aperture, a focal length of 13mm, a lens size of 0.8µm and a maximum viewing degree of 1/2.55", whilst PDAF and Super Steady video are features of the latter.

Like the S20 Ultra, the Note 20 range will likely be able to video record in 8K@24fps, 8K@24fps 21:9, 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@30/60/240fps and 720p@920fps. Video recording has an HDR10+ feature, will be able to record stereo sound, and have gyro-EIS with OIS. An LED flash, auto-HDR and panorama are the standard features for the lineup.

The front camera may come with 40 MP lens with an f/2.2 aperture, a lens size of 0.7µm, and a 26mm (wide) focal length that supports PDAF. It is likely to support 4K video recording at 30/60fps and 1080p recording at 30fps resolutions.[21]

Software

The trio will ship with Android 10 and One UI 2.5.[22] A beta test for Android 11 is expected to be released later on in the year.[23][24]
