Leaked information has revealed that Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 will have a significantly upgraded battery, making it a better phone than its predecessor and promising to be a strong competitor to the iPhone 12.

This information was dug up by SamMobile from China Compulsory Certification (China's regulatory inspection equivalent to the FCC in the US). We have already seen what the 3C test showed about the Galaxy Note 20 Plus, and now we can compare both expected versions of this phone and see what the differences are.

The big news is that the Note 20's battery is reported to have a capacity of 4,300 mAh. This is slightly smaller than the 4,500 mAh cell the Note 20 Plus is expected to have. More importantly, however, this is 800 mAh more than the Galaxy Note 10 and the same size as last year's Galaxy Note 10 Plus battery.

Battery life was one of the Note 10's notable shortcomings; in Tom's Guide battery tests, it lasted only 9 hours 25 minutes of continuous web surfing on 4G LTE, although the Note 10 Plus lasted 10 hours 47 minutes, which is an improvement, It is still below the 11-hour mark needed to make our best smartphone battery life list.

In other words, it is promising that Samsung appears to be working on the poor battery life of its next-generation Note phones.

However, the Galaxy Note 20 must not only beat its predecessor in battery life, but also take on Apple's upcoming iPhone 12. Its next-generation iPhone is expected to have strong battery life, especially if the current iPhone is used as a benchmark.

In our tests, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max recorded times of 10:24 and 11:44, respectively. This is a very impressive result, given that both iPhone models have smaller batteries than the Note 10 and last longer than Samsung phones due to Apple's clever tweaks, although the iPhone 12's battery specs are less well reported, According to a leak from EverythingApplePro, one iPhone 12 Pro model will have a 4,400 mAh battery.

So while it is pleasing that the Note 20 will have a much larger powerplant compared to last year's model, Samsung will offer users the longest possible battery life and a chance to beat the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro later this year. need to work harder.

Earlier leaks of the Note 20 had the battery size at 4,000 mAh, which contradicts this latest leak. 4,000 mAh is a figure that anonymous sources to Samsung enthusiast site GalaxyClub, which usually publishes reliable leaked information told us. However, we are inclined to follow the latest figure, as it comes from a government agency tasked with accurately documenting these details.

Like the previously leaked Note 20 Plus, the Note 20 will come with at least a 25W charger, like the Note 10 and Galaxy S20 series; with the Galaxy S20 Ultra and Note 10 Plus, if you purchase a compatible power brick could optionally charge the device with 45W.

To the surprise of no one who has been following Galaxy Note 20 leaks and rumors, the Note 20 will be 5G compatible. Following the Galaxy S20 series, which fully supports 5G, it has been revealed that the Note 20 Plus will also have 5G.

Other rumors of the Note 20 series indicate that the standard model will have a 6.7-inch display and the Plus a 6.9-inch display, both with 120 Hz refresh rate and QHD resolution. Both will have at least 12 GB of RAM and either a Snapdragon 865 CPU (if in the US) or an Exynos 990 (if in other countries).

The overall design and camera technology of the Note 20 will be carried over from the S20 series; the Note 20 Plus should have the 108MP resolution of the S20 Ultra, but will not have the Space Zoom and may have an additional sensor just for focusing. The Note 20 Plus should have the 108MP resolution of the S20 Ultra. In addition, a new version of the S Pen stylus that characterizes this series of smartphones is expected to be introduced.

The Galaxy Note 20, along with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 according to other rumors, will likely be announced at an online-only Galaxy Unpacked event in August. A specific date has not yet been set, but given that Samsung has announced Galaxy Note series phones in August in the past, the same is expected to happen this year unless there is a delay.
