Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 is expected to launch in August, and details of Samsung's plans for this major event have been revealed for the first time.

As reported by The Korea Herald (via SamMobile), Samsung is planning an online-only event to reveal the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus. This will be Samsung's first Unpacked event to take place entirely online.

The last Unpacked event held in San Francisco to unveil Samsung's Galaxy S20 reportedly had over 3,000 attendees, but with the coronavirus pandemic being discussed, such attendance is unlikely to increase. Even though the pandemic appears to have subsided somewhat, Samsung could not hold such a large event so soon in August.

Last year's Galaxy Note 10 event was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and was also quite packed. Even if Samsung were to widen the seating spacing, it would be very difficult to maintain a social distance when lining up for the event or actually picking up a Galaxy Note 20.

According to The Korea Herald, Samsung Electronics is "holding in-depth meetings and formulating concrete plans" for the online Unpacked event. However, the actual date of the event is still flexible and could be decided by Samsung at the last minute, according to the paper.

As for expectations, the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus will reportedly feature large 6.42-inch and 6.87-inch displays, respectively, and both could offer smooth refresh rates of 120 Hz. Furthermore, because of what is called LTPO technology, these panels may be more efficient than the 120Hz panels expected to be found on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

In addition, the Note 20 phones are expected to feature Qualcomm's new Sonic Max fingerprint sensor, which is 17 times larger and can read two fingerprints at once. On the camera front, the Galaxy Note 20 Plus may steal the 108MP sensor from the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but rumors suggest that it will not feature a 100x space zoom.

Both the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus are said to have larger batteries and perhaps standard 16GB of RAM. The two phones should debut along with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 when Samsung holds an online event this August.
