Samsung Galaxy Note 20 design just leaked — and we really hope this is not it

A leak showing the potential design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 was noted by Ice Universe, a serial tech tipster.

These images appear to be rough CAD renderings to give phone case manufacturers an idea of the upcoming phone's design so they can have a case ready at launch. Ice Universe says these images, courtesy of Twitter user Harmless Karl and are only a "rough design preview" of what the Galaxy Note 20 might look like. [In particular, it is highly doubtful that the Galaxy Note 20 will have the prominent side bezels seen in these rendered images, and such a design would be a step backward from the nearly bezel-less Galaxy Note 10.

However, these design renderings again reinforce the idea that the Galaxy Note 20 will feature a punch-hole selfie camera like the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S20. The display design is not expected to differ much from the previous Galaxy Note 20 model, but it is expected to feature a 120 Hz refresh rate display like the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

The most interesting part of this design leak is the camera module. This belies rumors that the Galaxy Note 20 will have a quad rear camera, which could be left for the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

However, these are rough design renderings, so it is quite possible that the Galaxy Note 20 will still feature four rear cameras. After all, it would seem odd that Samsung would add a large rectangular camera bump to the Galaxy Note 20 rather than using the Galaxy Note 10's small pill-shaped vertical module and not add another camera or additional sensors.

In fact, according to another leak from Ice Universe, the Galaxy Note 20 Plus will borrow the Galaxy S20 Ultra's 108MP camera and add a new sensor to improve focus. In other words, there is a great chance that the Note 20 Plus will be one of the best camera phones ever.

The Galaxy Note 20 will be announced in August, so we still have a few months before we see anything close to the final design. And we expect it to look much sleeker than what we see here.
