Upgrades in Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20+

Hey guys, I'm getting pretty excited about Galaxy Note 20 and note 20 plus phones which alongside new tablets watches and even the galaxy phone. I want to focus on the new note 20 and note 20 plus which may or may not be called the ultra it's not confirmed yet. Although I'm hoping they stick with the plus and the fall to becomes ultra but the note is in for some quite big upgrades including some of the galaxy S 20 s camera tech carrying over a 120 Hertz and quality plus screen faster RAM, a new fingerprint reader, a revised Exynos processor surprisingly as well as what makes a note a note an even bigger screen. 

It maybe even an upgraded S-Pen as always though take this with a little pinch of salt until we have you know absolute confirmation from samsung themselves .But I think we have a pretty good idea of what to expect and first of all know 20 years almost certainly coming with my fixed guide reporting that Samsung submitted a phone for Chinese certification with a similar model number to the Note M+ which looks to be the note 20 plus. It lists 5G a huge 6.87 inch screen up from 6.8 on the Note M plus with quad HD plus resolution and a 120 Hertz refresh rate screen sadly though it looks like the regular note 20 will still be stuck with a 60 Hz Full HD plus screen though it's still expected to be bigger at 6.42 inches up from 6.3 in last year. But to be honest I would have liked to have seen at least 90 Hertz even the standard note 20. 

So at the moment with the S 20 range you have to choose between the smooth or 120 Hertz refresh rate versus the sharper quad HD plus resolution. But I'm confident with the note 20 plus at least that will finally be able to have both at the same time which is great but something that you can already get on phones like the oneplus a speaking off screens and back in February, Samsung announced their new OLED screen with LTPO technology. This can lower power consumption of the screen by 15 to 20 % by reducing the refresh rate dynamically and considering the 120 Hz screen on S 20 phones would often reduce battery life anywhere from 20 to 25 percent making it up through a more power efficient screen sounds great. But it has been reported that a standard note 20 will miss out on this which is partly why they're gonna stick with full HD Plus and 60 Hz filing also shows the phone comes with a snapdragon 865, 4500 mAh power battery and 25 watt charging of the box with support up to 45 watt fast charging. It also apparently offers a new dual fingerprint reader which suggests it's gonna use Qualcomm's new 3d select max tech. 

This year it's much faster and has an area 17 times the size of the regular ultrasonic fingerprint meter. We still get in the S 20s which not only makes it easier and more reliable but it also leaves room for using two fingerprints at the same time for extra security. I'm actually quite excited for the new fingerprint reader. I really had hoped we'd see that in the S 20 range but they use the same one as the note 10 last year. Although personally I tend to use face and locking more than anything else so I would have loved to have seen perhaps an IR sensor on the front of the new note 20. So it would unlock more reliably in low-light like the iPhone does, but I don't think we're gonna see that sadly I really do wish more companies would put IR sensors in their phones though now in terms of models. I think we'll see a single version of the standard note 20 and two versions of the new 20 plus probably with 256 and 512GB storage options. Although I have seen a pretty unwelcome rumor that the regular note 20 may only come with 128GB of storage down from 256GB on the note 10. 

Although to compensate, it looks like the note 20 will support micro SD cards which previously was exclusive to the Plus range. But I'm hoping this drop in storage is just a rumor now one thing that is all but confirmed is that all Samsung of 20s will support 5G even the standard model. Considering the note is a more productivity based device, it makes perfect sense to include it as for the design well . It looks like it'll just be a bigger version of the S 20 ultra where the refines camera module slightly squared off corners. 

Well you know the S-pen will also get the single hole punch selfie camera up front as for the processor well i've seen some reports that suggest that note 20's will come with a slightly faster snapdragon 865+. But those reports have gone kind of quite recently, i'm not confident that we will see that i think it will just be the same a 6V chip that we get in the S 20s in the regions that get the Qualcomm processor because sadly here in the UK. I think Europe as well in some parts of Asia, we get Samsung's own Exynos processor which is just well simply not as good. However, Samsung may have been listening because what I still think we'll get the 865 in the Qualcomm regions, it looks like we may actually get a faster Exynos 992 which appears to be refined over the Exynos 990 from the S 20. 

New leaks suggest this could actually be a 5 nm part down from the 9.97 nm which are supposed to have significantly better power efficiency and graphics performance. Hopefully, this creates some parity between the 2 different chipsets sticking with the hardware.  Samsung are also building a new 16 GB LPDDR4 and module which they say will be 30% faster and 20% more power efficient, this sounds like a good pairing for the note 20 plus. It will help with multitasking using decks and possibly even improving battery life the regular note 10 had 8GB though and while I haven't seen any details I reckon 10 to 12GB would make sense for the note 20 but what about the cameras because while the S 20 offers a great camera setup , There are issues around focusing and a 4 space zoom on 20, all true I think is nothing really more than a marketing gimmick well serial leaker ice universe who's normally pretty reliable has suggested that we won't be seeing the 100 times space zoom on the note 20 however they've just released details of the complete note 20 plus camera setup, it alleges the main camera will use the same ISO cell bright hm1 180MP sensor which is found on the S 20 ultra. But this time with a 50 X zoom while in the hundred times space zoom next there's a 12 megapixel ultra wide camera using the ISO cell fast to l-3 sensor. 

Finally a 13 megapixel periscope telephoto lens which is down from the 48 megapixel telephoto on the S 20 ultra. This is a bit of a curious change but it might be to do with reducing noise in low-light shots, it also looks like the time-of-flight sensor has been replaced by a different laser focusing system which also might help all the cameras focus more consistently there's still no specific mention of what the standard note 20 can expect or what changes. 

We might say to the selfie camera now for me when I talk about the note there's three things that come to mind big expensive and the S-pen I mean the codename for the note 20 is project canvas so it's clear something are pushing the art and creativity side of the device unfortunately it's still not clear what exactly the upgrades will be to the S-pen. Although I'm sure, we'll be getting more of those air gestures that we all know and love and definitely use all the time on the note series. But I'm excited to see what they can do as for the software it's likely the note 20 will still ship with Android 10 even though Android 11 will be right around the corner. 

Then on top, we'll have Samsung's One UI 2.5 skin which is expected soon now if the filing is accurate a 4,500 mAh power battery for the note 20 plus seems a little bit stingy especially compared to the 5000 mAh power cell. We get in the S 20 ultra but remember they do have to find space for that S Pen in the phone so that probably will limit the size of the battery a little bit. However if you consider the note 10 plus had a fully 300 mAh power cell then it's still 200 more plus with a more efficient screen processor and RAM. It could be enough to offset the extra drain from the 120 Hz quad HD Plus panel and if the rumors are correct the standard note 20 will have a 4300mAh power battery which is still a good step up from the 3,500 cell. 

We got in the note 10 last year so when's they coming out well despite the crazy world that we live in the latest report suggests we'll see an early August launch event. I'm even more excited about as for pricing well for note is 870 pounds or 950 dollars and the plus for a 1000 pounds or 1100 dollars. But there's reason why you actually may want to hold off on buying a new note 20 because it appears that Samsung of testing a custom aimed II Radeon graphics chip for their future phones with evidence coming from logs in graphics bench. The results look amazing with the AMD device posting around two and a half times the graphics performance as the Snapdragon x64 and also easily beating the Apple a 13 although by that point we'll be on to the a fourteenth it's very unlikely we'll see this before neck possibly on the new S 21 so with all that said what do you think are you excited for the note 20 series. 

My concern is that unless we see some substantial upgrades to the s-pen it could just end up being too similar to the S 20 but with an even higher price tag and I'm also worried that all the good stuff like you know the high refresh screen the high resolution the bigger battery and for the 16GB of ram.  It's all going to be limited to the note 20 plus which is just going to be crazy expensive and therefore the standard note 20 will be a bit kind of meh but then again I think 20/20 has taught us that nothing is predictable really so hopefully there'll be some exciting surprises.
