The standard Galaxy Note 20 is very different from its big brother, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. According to a leak, Samsung is missing several highly anticipated features, such as the 120 Hz screen or the 108-megapixel photo sensor. The standard edition is increasingly shaping up to be a disappointment.
Yesterday, our German colleagues from Winfuture released the complete technical sheet of the Galaxy S20 Ultra. True to its habits, the media has outbid today by unveiling the complete technical sheet of the Galaxy Note 20 standard accompanied by several official renderings.

A real Galaxy Note 20 Lite?
According to the information gleaned by Winfuture, the Note 20 is covered witha 6.7-inch Full HD AMOLED display (2400 x 1080 pixels) surrounded by flat borders. As expected, the smartphone is not equipped with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra's 120 Hz display. Samsung is betting on a 60 Hz slab. An amazing choice. However, the manufacturer had equipped all the Galaxy S20 with a 120 Hz display. The smartphone comes with an S-Pen stylus with a 26ms latency. For its part, the stylus included with the Note 20 Ultra shows a latency of 9ms, like the Apple Pencil.
The Note 20 is powered by the SoC Exynos 990 (in Europe at least) coupled with only 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Samsung also overlooks the microSD drawer. It will therefore not be possible to add storage. The battery life is entrusted to a battery of 4300 mAh. Unsurprisingly, it runs Android 10 accompanied by the Samsung One UI 2.5 overlay.
The rear side, covered in plastic rather than metal, houses a triple photo sensor consisting of a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, an ultra wide-angle 12-megapixel module and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. No 5x zoom or 108-megapixel sensor for this edition. Samsung does, however, incorporate a 30x digital zoom. In the hole in the screen, there is a camera for 10-megapixel selfies identical to that of the Note 20 Ultra.
Finally, Samsung would offer the Note 20 in the following colors: Mystic Bronze (copper), Mystic Gray (grey), and Mystic Green (green). We will be fixed on the Note 20 from August 5, 2020, the date of Samsung's Unpacked conference. What do you think of the Note 20 fact sheet? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
