A few days ago, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Note20 Ultra flagship smartphone. Although there are several new and powerful features on the device, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra isn’t as powerful as the Galaxy S20 Ultra which was launched earlier this year.

It is the first device to come with Samsung Display’s Lower Display Power Technology named HOP and the newly launched Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

For the display, there’s low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, reports The Elec. It is a combination of the best qualities of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT and oxide TFT.

The LPTO technology is claimed to reduce the power consumption of OLED panels by 15 percent to 20 percent compared to LTPS. It even saves battery life when using AR and VR technology, as well as 5G connectivity.

The technology was first used by LG for the OLED panels on Apple Watch in 2018 and then Samsung used the same tech for the Galaxy Watch Active2 a year later. Now, Samsung is expected to use this HOP technology for next year’s Apple iPhone as well.

As for the camera, the Note20 Ultra packs 108-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor on the back. In comparison, the S20 Ultra features a 48MP telephoto lens. The Note20 Ultra also lacks a 3D ToF sensor and instead, comes with a laser auto-focus sensor.

Also, the company has reduced the 100x Space Zoom feature of the S20 Ultra to just 50x Space Zoom on the Note20 Ultra. But, the 5x optical zoom support remains intact. While the camera output may offer better results, on paper, the camera configuration doesn’t seem as powerful as S20 Ultra.

Just hours after Samsung launched the company’s next-generation Galaxy Note series flagship smartphones — Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra, the pricing details of both the devices for the Chinese market have been revealed.

The South Korean giant has announced Samsung Forerunner Program in China in which those pre-order the smartphone through the company’s online store can get priority delivery from 15th August. This means that the users won’t have to wait for the first-day sale on 28th August to get their hands on the device.

As for the pricing in the Chinese market, the Galaxy Note20, which packs 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, costs 7,699 yuan which roughly converts to $1,108. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at 9,599 yuan which is around $1,382. The top-end variant with 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage costs 10,399 yuan, about $1,497.

Coming to the specifications, the Galaxy Note20 features a 6.7-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display while the Ultra variant comes with a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Both the phones come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, the devices come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, with support for 5G SA/NSA. In the camera department, both the smartphones feature a 10MP front snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The standard model features a 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens with Space Zoom of up to 30x. The Ultra model, on the other hand, comes with a 108-megapixel main shooter, a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 50x Space Zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.

Both the models run the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with Samsung One UI 2.0 on top. The Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra are powered by a 4,300mAh and 4,500mAh battery respectively with 25W fast charging support.

Samsung has recently launched the company’s next-generation Galaxy Note series flagship smartphones — Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra. However, it seems that the South Korean giant isn’t expecting as much demand as its predecessor for the new devices.

As per the report coming from The Elec, Samsung has ordered about 20 percent fewer components for the Galaxy Note20 series. However, if that’s actually the case, then it is likely for the initial batch only and if the company sees a surge in demand, it can procure more components.

The report claims that Samsung is expecting initial shipments of three million units for the latest Note-series flagship smartphones. Further, it adds that the total expected shipments for the lineup stand at around 10 million units by the end of this year.

The move of ordering 20 percent fewer components for the Galaxy Note20 series could be because of the less than anticipated demand for the Galaxy S20 series smartphones launched earlier this year.

Also, the company’s sale of smartphones has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and since major markets still haven’t recovered, the company is likely keeping the stock volume low for the initial batches.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was the best-selling model in the lineup and the company also expects a similar situation with the newly launched series. It expects Galaxy Note20 Ultra to account for 70 percent to 80 percent sales among the two models.

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, for a price of $999.99. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is priced at $1,299.99 for the 12GB + 256GB variant and $1,499.99 for the 12GB + 512GB version. Both models will go on sale from August 21st.

With the Samsung Galaxy Note20 series launch being just around the corner, more rumors and leaks have started surfacing. A recent one reveals that the flagship Galaxy Note20 Ultra will feature a dynamic refresh rate switching.

The known leakster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) shared the leak on Twitter. Similar to the Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra will not have an option to use 120Hz high refresh rate at QHD+ resolution. For those unaware, Samsung offered users a manual option to toggle between 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate at the FHD+ resolution in the flagship handset that was launched earlier this year.

Although, Samsung might be able to offer a balance between decent battery life and performance with Galaxy Note 20Ultra through its dynamic switching feature. This feature would be welcomed considering the 120Hz high refresh rate panel is only beneficial in quite a few scenarios or applications.

Keep in mind, the dynamic refresh rate is different from the variable refresh rate, which requires necessary hardware support. Dynamic switching will have the Samsung device automatically switching between 60Hz and 120Hz depending on usage and the situation. On the other hand, the variable refresh rate adjusts the displays refresh rate in real time depending on the content on the screen.

The launch of the Galaxy Note20 series is still more than a month away. While CAD renders have given us an idea of what the phones will look like, we now have our first official look at the Galaxy Note20 Ultra thanks to Samsung Ukraine.

The official Samsung Ukraine website accidentally put up images of the Mystic Bronze variant of the phone and it is a really gorgeous device. The pictures were posted under the Galaxy Note8’s page according to Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) who shared them on Twitter.

The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is shown to have four rear cameras, one of which has a periscope lens that will provide up to 50x zoom. The phone has a pretty thick rectangular camera bump that also houses the LED flash.

The images show the S Pen in a matching color but none shows the front of the phone.

The Galaxy Note20 Ultra will launch alongside its sibling on August 5. The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 865 processor and have support for 5G. There will also be an Exynos version of the phone. Other features are a QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 16GB of RAM, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and support for wireless charging.
