Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra: There is no doubt that one of the most anticipated phones of 2020 is Galaxy Note20 series. All the Note phones from Samsung Mobile have always been incredible.
But given that the Samsung Galaxy S20 line up is super dope, what else can the Galaxy Note20 offer? Well, one way to find out is to check its specifications.
No doubt the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is expected to be the best flagship smartphone from Samsung Mobile thus far. Galaxy Note is the best flagship line up of the company everyone expect it to be perfect (or at least near perfection).

Quick Note: All the Samsung Galaxy Note20 phones will have a 5G variant because they powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset. This is due to the integrated 5G modem present in the SOC.
We don’t know what your expectations are for this new phone but we trust Samsung Mobile to meet them (at the least they’ll try). Samsung might make over hyped (not so powerful) mid range smartphones but only few phones can compete with their flagship phones (very few).
Well, we have put together the complete features of the smartphone below. As always, we focus more on user experience and performance, hence we’ll be skipping all the technical grammars.

Specifications of Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra
Build and Display
The phone is coming with DYNAMIC AMOLED display type of size 6.9 inch which is pretty big (it’s better called a phablet). It’s display is having a Corning Gorilla Glass 7 (Corning Gorilla Glass Victus) protection which is good.
When it comes to it’s build materials, there is glass back and front and an aluminum frame. These materials are premium and far better than plastic even though “glass is glass and glass breaks.”

A Corning Gorilla Glass 7 back and front means the phone is pretty solid and have higher level of protection when it falls. But, given it’s size and materials, you should expect the phone to be relatively heavy.
Chipset, RAM and Internal Storage
The phone is coming with two different SOC. There is the Snapdragon 865+ variant that will be available in the United States and and other countries with 5G network. While there is the Exynos 990 version that will be shipped globally to regions with no 5G connectivity.
To be fair, the Exynos 992 SOC is good and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is better but given the boost in GPU and overclocked CPU of the Snapdragon 865+, it’s probably the best option here.
If you are confused about the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, then you need to watch This Video to help you better understand the new SOC from Qualcomm.
Well, everyone would love to have the Snapdragon 865+ version. But, if it’s not available in your region you either have to make use of the Exynos 990 version or ship from abroad.
So far, the phone is expected to come in two variants of, 12GB RAM and 128GB Internal Storage, 12GB RAM and 256GB Internal Storage, 12GB RAM and 512GB Internal Storage. Surprisingly, there is space to expand storage via microSD card.
