Earlier this morning, Samsung revealed confirmed all of the accurate leaks about their new devices for the latter half of 2020. They kicked things off w/ their new flagship devices: the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Comparing the 2 devices, you would probably go for the Note 20 Ultra if you can swing it.
The new Note comes in 2 flavors like last year w/ the Note 20 & Note 20 Ultra.
The entry-level Note 20 offers a 6.7inch Infinity-O display w/ 2400 x 1080 resolution + 60Hz refresh rate, powered by a Snapdragon 865+ CPU w/ 5G support, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, 3 cameras on the rear w/ a f/2.2 12MP ultra-wide, f/1.8 12MP wide-angle w/ OIS, & f/2.0 64MP telephoto sensors, a f/2.2 10MP selfie camera, ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, S Pen, running Android 10 w/ One UI, and a 4300 mAh battery – all inside of a IP68 dust/water-resistant body.
While the more powerful Galaxy Note 20 Ultra offers a 6.9inch Dynamic AMOLED display w/ 3088 x 1440 resolution + 120Hz refresh rate, powered by a Snapdragon 865+ CPU w/ 5G support, 12GB of RAM, choice of 128GB or 512GB of storage w/ microSD expansion, 3 cameras on the rear w/ a 12MP ultra-wide, 108MP wide-angle w/ OIS, & 12MP telephoto sensors w/ laser autofocus for the main shooter, a f/2.2 10MP selfie camera, ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, S Pen, running Android 10 w/ One UI, and a 4500 mAh battery -within an IP68 dust-water-resistant body.
Samsung is doing more w/ Microsoft as they will allow their software to work together like Samsung Notes will sync w/ OneNote (later this year). You will also be able to annotate PDFs, match up audio recordings w/notes, & offer full folder management. On the gaming side, Samsung will support Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate w/ those who pre-order getting 3 months free as well when it launches next month.
The S Pen gets an improved stylus experience w/ even lower latency to give you more accuracy + responsiveness. So you still can record in 8K video, the Note 20 Ultra has 50x Space Zoom from the S20 Ultra, Bixby is still present for those of you who care, and both offer wireless DeX support via Miracast.
The Note 20 will arrive in Mystic Bronze, Mystic Gray, & Mystic Green for $999 while the Note 20 Ultra will arrive in Mystic Bronze, Mystic Black, & Mystic White starting at $1,399. Pre-orders kick off tomorrow on August 6th and will go on sale August 20th.
So now that everything is official, are you picking one up?
