News about the Samsung Galaxy Note20 series began surfacing as far back as January. Going by the launch date for the Galaxy Note10 series, we are three months away from the launch of the new Note series which means more leaks are expected to pour in in the weeks leading up to the release. Today, details about the display for the upcoming phones were leaked on Twitter.
The source of the leak is Ross Young, the founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), and his tweets revealed key details about the screens of the Galaxy Note20 and the Galaxy Note20+.
Galaxy Note20 Display Specifications
According to Ross, the Galaxy Note20 will have a bigger display than its predecessor; 6.42-inches to be exact. It will also have a slightly increased 2345 x 1080 resolution, so the PPI remains 401. The aspect ratio is revealed to be 19.5:9, an increase from the 19:9 aspect ratio of the Galaxy Note10.
The big news is that the display will have a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen is a Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) display that uses low power. This should help reduce battery consumption even with 120Hz mode permanents set to on.
Note 20 Display Leak:
Note 20 will grow from 6.3" on the 10 to 6.42" on the Note 20. Resolution will increase slightly to 2345 x 1084, 404 PPI, 19.5:9 aspect ratio. 120Hz with LTPO, variable refresh, so lower power with 120Hz, great for always on mode. #GalaxyNote20— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) May 11, 2020
Note 20+ Display Leak
Note 20+ will grow from 6.8" to 6.87", resolution will increase to 3096 x 1444 resulting in a 497 PPI, 19.3:9 aspect ratio. It will also have 120Hz refresh with LTPO, lowest power implementation of 120Hz due to variable refresh. #GalaxyNote20+— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) May 11, 2020
Galaxy Note20+ Display Specifications
The Galaxy Note20+ will have a slightly bigger screen that measures 6.87-inches. The resolution goes up to 3096 x 1444 and translates to a PPI of 497 while the aspect ratio will be 19.3:9.
Just like the standard version, the Galaxy Note20+ will have a 120Hz refresh rate and an LTPO panel.
No Galaxy Note20 Ultra
While Samsung launched a Galaxy S20 Ultra earlier this year, it won’t be replicating the Ultra model with the Galaxy Note20 according to Ross. However, he added that “…the Galaxy Fold 2 will be your Ultra.”
No Galaxy Note Ultra model, but the Galaxy Fold 2 will be your Ultra. #GalaxyNote

Earlier reports have revealed the Galaxy Fold 2 will come with a new type of S Pen, so it makes sense that there will not be a Galaxy Note20 Ultra. Anyone who wants a bigger Galaxy Note with a stylus should go for the Fold 2, though it will definitely not be cheap.
There is no info on a successor to the Galaxy Note10 Lite.
