After months of leaks and speculation, the latest flagship from Samsung has arrived. Samsung says that the new Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra is designed for Life Maximizers who demand the highest performance while the S-series is for social expression.
Like the Note10 family, the Note20 series will come in two flavors. The first is the vanilla Note20 that comes with a flat 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED Infinity-O display. Inside is the 7nm Exynos 990 SoC, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB UFS internal storage, and 4300mAh battery with support for up to 45W fast charging via USB Type-C. At the back of Note20 is a triple rear camera set-up of a 12MP main camera, 64MP Telephoto camera and 12MP Ultra-wide camera that supports up to 30x Space Zoom.

Inside is the same 7nm Exynos 990 SoC, 8GB/12GB LPDRR5 RAM, 256GB UFS internal storage, and 4500mAh battery with up to 45W fast charging through the USB Type-C support. At the back of the Note20 Ultra is the 108MP main camera, 12MP telephoto camera, 12MP Ultra-wide camera and a Depth Vision sensor with a new Laser AF system.
