Large Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra leak reveals key specifications [Update]

New leaked information about the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 has revealed the specs of the Galaxy Note 20. And it looks like a pretty impressive flagship. The source of the information is Ice Universe, one of the most reliable leakers. They have provided us with various leaks about the Galaxy Note 20 series in the past.

June 20 update: According to a follow-up tweet from Ice Universe, the images and video that initially circulated with the specs leak apparently show the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and not the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

The Note 20 Ultra has been compared to the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, the most feature-rich of the Note 10 series. This is encouraging, as other rumors have indicated that the standard Galaxy Note 20 has very lackluster specs in comparison.

We have heard many times that the S Pen stylus will be improved, but there is no concrete information yet on how it will be improved. Last year, air gestures were introduced, allowing the stylus to be used as a remote control for the camera or to perform actions by waving it around.

As for camera upgrades, we are told that the Note 20 Ultra's rear camera will be enhanced by a laser depth sensor. This is rumored to hopefully be included in the Note 20 Ultra as well, as Samsung's first 108MP camera on the Galaxy S20 Ultra was difficult for many users to take pictures with due to autofocus issues.

Ice Universe also notes that the Note 20 Ultra uses the Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. The Snapdragon 865 chipset is found in most of this year's Android flagships, and it was thought that there would be no Plus version. However, Ice Universe seems convinced that such a chipset is on the way, and we should expect higher peak performance from the Note 20 Ultra.

As for the screen, Ice Universe states that it will have QHD resolution and 120Hz refresh rate simultaneously. This should surpass the Galaxy S20 series, which could manage QHD resolution or 120Hz refresh rate, but not both simultaneously.

This improvement is likely to be achieved through the use of the rumored LTPO display, a new display technology that allows for better power efficiency by dynamically changing the refresh rate between 1 Hz and up to 120 Hz. 120 Hz displays are notorious for their power consumption, so Samsung's use of this technology may be a wise decision.

A second tweet from Ice Universe compares the Note 20 Ultra's size to the Note 10 Plus. The overall bezel has shrunk, the punch hole for the selfie camera is smaller, and the depth of the body is smaller.

This latest rumor does not mention battery or charging specifications. However, it is believed that the standard Note 20 will have a 4,000 mAh battery, while the Note 20 Ultra will have a 4,500 mAh or 5,000 mAh capacity. Both models are expected to charge at 25W, but the Note 20 Ultra may be able to charge even faster with Samsung's separately sold 45W power block.

Whether these rumors are accurate or not will be known in the coming months; the Note 20 is rumored to be announced in August, along with the Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy Watch 2, and other new Samsung mobile devices.
