Samsung Galaxy Note 20 leak reveals design and camera

If you're still wondering what the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will look like when it debuts later this summer, a new set of case photos leaves little to the imagination.

The leaked images came from Ice Universe (via Wccftech), which has a pretty good track record when it comes to sharing information about unreleased Samsung phones. Different pictures show the case with cutouts for each rear camera, along with various ports and speakers on the bottom of the phone.

On the front of the camera, three lenses can be seen overlapping each other. These appear to be the main lens, a telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide angle lens. There are two additional notches, one for the camera's flash and one for an additional sensor.

If this is the case of the Note 20, this is the time-of-flight sensor used to provide better portrait effects. If this case fits the larger version of Samsung's phablet (to be called Galaxy Note 20 Plus or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra), this is a laser focus sensor, designed to make the focus of the other cameras sharper.

At the bottom of the case is an opening for a microphone, speaker, USB-C charging port, and what appears to be a slot for the Note 20's S Pen. (Samsung removed this feature in last year's Galaxy Note 10, and it is unlikely to return.) If that is the slot for the S-pen, it has been moved slightly closer to the center of the phone than on last year's model.

The only other design clue we can glean from this case is derived from its straight edges. This seems to confirm rumors that Samsung is moving away from curved edges with this year's Galaxy Note.

The Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus/Ultra are expected to make an appearance at an online Samsung event on August 5 before hitting stores in mid-August. In addition to the cameras, they are expected to feature screens with faster 120 Hz refresh rates, Snapdragon 865 processors, 5G support, and other improvements.
