Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Specifications Leaked Online

Jul. 22, 2020

The Galaxy Note 20 series is all set tolaunch on August 5, at Samsung’s Unpacked event. However, as we approach the launch, leaks around the phones are coming out at an even faster pace. We have seen renders for both theNote 20andNote 20 Ultra, and today it seems the Note 20 Ultra’s specifications have found their way online.

Samsung will carry on its legacy of stuffing the Note series to the brim with the latest and greatest tech it can. As expected, the phone will be powered by theSnapdragon 865+processor, which is the first smartphone processor to breach 3GHz clock speeds. However, exciting as that is, the leak suggestsSamsung will still use Exynos chipsets in Note 20 variants sold in regions such as India and Europe.

For the unaware, Samsung’s Exynos chips are widely disliked fornot being as powerful, or power efficient as the Snapdragon counterparts found in Samsung’s US phones. The company, for its part, alwaysdenies these allegations. However, Samsung recently startedselling Snapdragon powered phonesin its home country of South Korea as well.

Anyway, coming back to the leaked specifications, the Note 20 Ultra will have 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which is plenty for a smartphone, and Samsung will pair that with 256GB or 512GB ofUFS 3.1storage. The leak also suggests that Samsung will continue allowing users to use microSD cards to expand the storage up to 1TB if needed.

The Note 20 Ultra will also come with a gigantic 6.9-inch QHD+ dynamic AMOLED panel. The display is rumoured to have 120Hz refresh rate, HDR 10+ certification, and a pixel density of 508ppi. However, more exciting is that theNote 20 Ultra might be the first phone to come with Gorilla Glass 7protection for its display.

For optics, we have already seen that the phone will pack in a triple rear camera. The leak today suggests this will comprise of a108MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 12MP periscope lens with 50x zoom. Samsung is apparently backtracking from theS20 Ultra’s 100x zoomperiscope lens with the Note 20 Ultra, as waspreviously reportedas well. On the front, you will get a 10MP selfie shooter in the Infinity-O display of the phone.

The phone will also reportedly come with a4,500mAh battery along with support for 45W fast charging, and Samsung’s Wireless PowerShare feature that allows you to use your phone as a wireless charger for things like a smartwatch or earbuds.

Also, if you’re worried, Samsung will likely include the charger in the box, unlikesome other brands. However, the South Korean giant is expected toditch in-box chargers from next year.

As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy Note 20 series is going to launch on August 5. We are also expecting theGalaxy Watch 3, andGalaxy Buds Liveto make an appearance alongside some other devices. After all, Samsung did mention that it willlaunch five new devicesat the event, so stay tuned.
