Mobile Phones: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 release date, price, news, and leaks
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 could put the design in stylus
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 launch date could be August 5, with a release date on August 21, consistent with rumors – and with the OnePlus 8 devices out the way, Samsung's upcoming stylus-packing flagships are subsequent big phones we're expecting in 2020. With the Samsung Galaxy S20 line behind us, we're fully focused on what the brand's new devices might be like.
We'd expect tons of the tech from the Galaxy S20, also as S20 Plus and S20 Ultra, to form their thanks to the Note 20 phones - in any case, the S20 devices were the company's first flagships of the year. The Galaxy Note 10 Lite from January 2020 may additionally affect the Note 20 DNA, given it beckoned during a way forward for affordable stylus phones.
If there is a Galaxy Note 20 Lite, Samsung wouldn't get to worry about other cheap phone stylus competitors, and will instead specialize in creating a real top-end model that blows the socks off any device before it. Some think Samsung is angling for the Galaxy Fold 2 to truly be the top-end Note phone, but that looks like a Game-of-Thrones-style plot twist, so we're not too sure just yet.
Before the Samsung Galaxy S20 came out we were expecting it to be called the S11, and that we were also expecting this phone to be Note 11, although that seems unlikely now. a number of the first phone leaks ask the Note 11, but that's just pertaining to this handset.
So you'll have a thought of what is to return with the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, we've collected every leak we've heard thus far. On top of that, we have got a wishlist of what we would like to ascertain within the Samsung Galaxy Note 20. Since the stylus is so central to the phone’s identity, we would like to ascertain the S Pen become a real extension of the device: more physical controls, more reason to tug it out of the phone.
Latest story: you would possibly be ready to get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 from August 21, as that's apparently when it'll hit shelves. We've heard that before but a second corroborating report lends credence to the date.
Cut to the chase
- What is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20? the subsequent stylus-packing flagship phone from Samsung.
- When is that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 launch date? Probably August 2020.
- How much will the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 cost? the worth could also be around $949 / £869 / AU$1,499
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 release date and price
Given previous phones within the line came call at August or September of their year, we’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 to be announced in August 2020, and specifically, August 5 has been rumored multiple times.
That's unlikely to be when you'll actually be ready to pip out though, but we even have a possible date for that, with August 21 being rumored and later corroborated by more reports. Though the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus might apparently hit stores a touch later.
One thing we will be confident of is that it's coming, and this year. Not only because Samsung always releases its Note handsets on a yearly cycle, but because the corporate has now said that a replacement Note is on the way in 2020.
As for cost, the Note 10 was released at a starting price of $949 / £869 / AU$1,499, so we’d expect a starting pricetag around there or maybe higher. The larger Note 10 Plus costs $100 / £130 / AU$200 more, so we expect an identical price jump for the inevitable Note 20 Plus. This price scheme has become pretty standard for top-tier flagship phones.
It’s likely that Samsung’s flagship phones will accompany 5G capability across the entire range – the Snapdragon 865 chipset is predicted to be at the guts of the just about all 2020 flagship Android phones, and Qualcomm's new chipset is including a 5G modem.
That brings up a problem for all 5G phones in 2020. The Note 10 Plus 5G was sold by Verizon within the US for $1,299 (around £974 / AU$1,888), so we’d expect a higher-than-normal tag for any 5G-capable version of the Note 20.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 leaks and news
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 remains months faraway from being released, but there’s been a couple of potentially revealing leaks that give us a primary check out the phone.
All that said, another source has claimed we'll get a Note 20 Ultra, and even detailed it, as you will see below, so we're unsure whether it exists or not yet.
Now, let's get into some section-specific leaks, news, and rumors on the phones:
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 design and display
Our clearest look yet at the possible Galaxy Note 20 design comes from leaked renders, which show a flat 6.7-inch screen with hardly any bezel, a single-lens punch-hole camera, and an outsized Galaxy S20-like camera block on the rear.
The renders also show the facility and volume buttons having been shifted from the left to the proper edge, and therefore the S Pen slot moving from the proper to the left.
We've now also seen leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus, which show an identical design, albeit with visible rings around the lenses on the camera, and a curved screen.
The source of those renders says to expect a 6.9-inch screen and dimensions of 165 x 77.2 x 7.6mm, rising to 10.7mm thick at the camera block.
It's worth noting though that these screen sizes are at odds with an earlier leak, which listed a 6.42-inch screen with a 2345 x 1084 resolution for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, and a 6.87-inch screen with a 3096 x 1444 resolution for the Note 20 Plus, both with 120Hz variable refresh rates.
And finally, we have seen what seems to be a politician Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra render found on a Samsung website, no less. it is the most evidence we have seen that the telephone line is getting an Ultra model, and it's on the brink of previous renders for the opposite versions.Samsung will launch an under display camera phone next year！— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) October 17, 2019
not S11, not Fold 2
Elsewhere, a source has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will have a screen that supports a QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate at an equivalent time, which it'll have smaller bezels than the Note 10 Plus, a smaller front-facing camera, which it'll be 0.3mm thinner (which would make it 7.6mm thick)
We even have a thought of the colors the phones might are available, with sources suggesting gray, copper, and green shades for the Galaxy Note 20, and black and copper shades for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus. That rumor has now been mentioned several times by respected sources.
Elsewhere, we have seen that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 screen might curve at the highest and bottom also because the sides, consistent with one patent, which might make the phone look tons more pebble-shaped than the Note 10.
A Samsung patent won just after the Samsung Galaxy 20 launch shows a phone with a display that curves all the thanks to the rear of the body, but with physical buttons that protrude from the curves of the screen. Could this be the Galaxy Note 20? We're unsure because it might be a 2021 phone (or never materialize in reality), but we'd hope so.
We've also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 could have a 120Hz refresh rate screen that's 'more fine-tuned' – they do not say what it's more fine-tuned than, but presumably, they mean the Galaxy S20. That was a really early leak, though, and a newer one suggests the 'base' Note 20 could even have a 60Hz display. The top-end device still seems set for 120Hz though.
Either way, this might mean it's less of a drain on the battery, or has better automatic refresh rate detection. We're not totally sure yet, and therefore the tweeted message was rather cryptic.
The Note 20 could also pack an in-screen front-facing camera, which might sit under the complete display rather than within a notch or pin-hole, industry sources told South Korean tech site The Elec - and protected by a tweet from notable leaker @UniverseIce.
That might seem unlikely, but Samsung itself has released a billboard that shows a Note-like phone with no visible camera. you'll see it during this video at the 55-second mark.
And that's not the sole time it's shown this device. the corporate also posted a picture on its site showing a mystery phone with an equivalent design. you'll see it below, it is the center phone, and again, there is no visible front-facing camera, which could mean this is often built into the screen.
There are in fact other options - it could use a pop-up camera, and within the case of the image below it might be within the obscured top left corner (though that's not an option within the video above).
Or, perhaps presumably, this might just be a generic design, instead of one that shows a true phone. Indeed, reports elsewhere have suggested the in-screen camera tech isn't ready, so we wouldn't calculate it.
If Samsung does persist with a punch-hole for the Galaxy Note 20 then the corporate might a minimum of making the foremost of it though, as five Samsung patents have detailed a standing indicator that might either encircle or sit beside a camera cut-out, and will display things like download progress without turning the screen on.
Finally, we have seen a Samsung foldable phone patent that looks like Note 20 - except it is a foldable phone. While this might suggest Samsung's new stylus device folds, it seems more likely that the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, which could begin alongside the Note 20s, will have a stylus too.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus camera specs have leaked quite the 'base' devices. Apparently, it'll have a 108MP main, 12MP ultra-wide and 13MP periscope snapper joined with a laser focus system that replaces the Time-of-Flight sensor Samsung's top-end phones normally have.
A leak suggests it won't have an equivalent 100x digital zoom capability because the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, so presumably it won't have the 10x optical zoom either. This backs up what the Galaxy Note 20 Plus camera leak claimed, positing a 50x digital zoom because of the Note 20 Plus' capability.
Having said that, a source claims it (or a minimum of the Note 20 Plus) will have a periscope lens, just like the S20 Ultra. that kind of lens design allows for a high level of zoom, so while it'd not hit 100x digital zoom, you'll still be ready to get in close.
Elsewhere, we've heard claims that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra also will top out at 50x zoom, but that Samsung will focus more on the "experience" of the zoom, so it'd be quite a gimmick. This source has also said separately to expect new camera functions, but they didn't say what.
Curiously, those are the sole camera or sensor leaks we've heard thus far, so we do not really know what resolution or lenses the snappers on the phone could have, or if there are any post-processing tricks which will change the way you're taking photos. Expect more on this front soon, though.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 specs, features and battery
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will allegedly accompany an equivalent Snapdragon 865 chipset that debuted within the Galaxy S20 line - which is sensible, as they're full of the Snapdragon X55 modem to enable 5G connectivity.
Saying that one leaker thinks the phone will accompany a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor instead, supported a leaked benchmark test for the device which puts its scores as less than the iPhone 12's. We've also heard this claim in reference to the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Having said that, we've elsewhere heard that there won't be a Snapdragon 865 Plus this year.

Some regions though could get an upgraded chipset within the sort of the Exynos 992. Samsung typically uses its own Exynos processors in most regions outside the US, and it's rumored that an Exynos 992 might be used instead, offering a small upgraded on both the Exynos 990, utilized in the Galaxy S20 outside the US, and on the Snapdragon 865.
There might only be 128GB storage within the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, a minimum of in its smallest variant, and there wasn't a tool with this amount within the previous range. that means there might be a more budget-focused handset within the range, perhaps a phone that's 'Lite' altogether but name (or even 'Lite' in name only too!).
One source claims that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 could have A battery of around 4,000mAh - up from 3,500mAh within the Galaxy Note 10. That new size would put it in line with the Samsung Galaxy S20, and would likely mean that the Galaxy Note 20 Plus would also get a much bigger battery.
The same source - during a later report - said the Galaxy Note 20 Plus could have a 4,500mAh electrical converter, up from the 4,300mAh within the Note 10 Plus but an equivalent size because of the S20 Plus.
However, the foremost recent battery leak puts the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 at 4,300mAh, so we're unsure what to expect from the quality model.
Elsewhere, we have seen what's believed to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus listed on a politician Chinese certification database. also as pointing to the phone's existence, this reveals support for 25W fast charging and 5G.
What can the Samsung Galaxy S20 tell us about the Galaxy Note 20?
Should I await the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or buy a reduced Samsung Galaxy Note 10 now?
In a standard year, this is often an extended time to attend anyway – like, say, if you broke your phone and wish a replacement ASAP – but it’s possible Samsung's launch date could be pushed back thanks to the coronavirus. we do not know if the phone is way enough along in production that it'll avoid these delays, but we'll report it first here if we discover out.
In any case, if you would like a replacement top-tier Samsung phone now (and have ruled out the Galaxy S20 range), you’re watching the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or the larger and higher-spec Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Here are the simplest prices in your region:
Samsung Galaxy Note 20: what we want to see
Since we haven't heard many rumors about the Note 20, we'll speculate as to what we want to see - improvements on last year's model and innovations we think would set the upcoming phone apart.
1. More capabilities in the S Pen
The S Pen has been the real selling point for the Note series - a stylus tucked neatly in the phone for those who hold a torch for Palm Pilot-style productivity. But aside from a couple of new capabilities introduced over the last couple years - a button that operates like a camera shutter, a few half-baked gestures - the S Pen remains primarily a writing implement.

Instead, we’d love to see the S Pen evolve into more of a proxy for the phone. If they can introduce one button, why not a couple more? It would be very handy to keep the phone in your pocket or perched for video and use the stylus to fiddle with volume and media navigation. Better yet, it would be great if the S Pen was used as a more universal remote across Samsung’s device family - maybe substituting a four-way joystick for the click-top so users can navigate. All we really know is the S Pen is not living up to its potential.
2. ‘Budget flagship’ version
We’re big fans of the Samsung Galaxy S10e and the standard iPhone 11 for their value as budget flagships of their respective lines, and we’d love to see a more affordable version of the Note family. This isn’t a crazy idea - there already seems to be a Note 10 Lite in production, if this leak is to be believed.

But if a Lite version of the last Note isn’t in the cards, getting one in for the next version would be a great opportunity not just to get the S Pen in more hands, but to play around with the Note design in general. Previous phones in the line are sleek yet wide phablets, but why not take a page out of the Google Pixel 4’s book and give the Lite/budget flagship version a funky look?
3. Better cameras, specs, etc
So the rumor of a 108MP camera headed to the S20 Plus would be great to look forward to in the Note 20 - and in the same report, a 5,000mAh battery. Both are good improvements, and we’d love to see battery life extend to breach two full days, especially with the screen-intensive S Pen functionality.
One thing we pretty much know for sure: the Note 20 will get the same Snapdragon 865 chipset headed to all top-tier Android phones in 2020, which we recently got our hands-on - and found it outperformed Apple’s A13 chipset that’s in the iPhone 11 line.
4. Seamless display
While the punch-hole is certainly a less obstructive upgrade from the notch, there are still compromises: we’d love to see a screen without any break whatsoever. That probably means an under-display window for the front-facing lens, which is something a leak actually suggests might happen.

The Note 20 might not end up being the first phone with this development, but given its status as the sleeker design-oriented flagship in Samsung’s lineup, we would like to see that big phablet display go seamless.
5. Cheaper 5G
The Galaxy Note 10 5G cost far more than its 4G counterparts with only minor spec and camera upgrades, putting connectivity to the next-gen networks out of the hands of most folks. It would be great to see this cost shrink, full stop.
2020 probably won’t be the year that every flagship phone comes 5G-capable as a standard, but it’s going to be a lot harder to access if every 5G phone costs half again as much as its standard version. Given the Note line traditionally comes out toward the end of the year, though, Samsung could get ahead of the curve by trimming the price for a 5G Note 20 - and further differentiate it from the upcoming Galaxy S20
