[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Specifications related to the upcoming release of the Galaxy Note20 are being revealed one after another. The higher-end model, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, is expected to be released with the same design as the Galaxy Note10+ and to be equipped with the Snapdragon 865+ chipset.


On the 19th (local time), Twitter user Ice Universe stated, "The Galaxy Note20 is an evolved version of the Galaxy Note10+ and supports both the Snapdragon 865+ and QHD+ 120Hz refresh rate," adding, "It will offer an LPTO display, new camera features, and improved S Pen functionality."


The Snapdragon 865+ chipset, expected to be installed in the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, has not yet been officially announced by Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 855+ chipset released last year improved graphics and CPU performance by about 15% compared to the 855, and the Snapdragon 865+ is expected to have similar improvements. However, Samsung is likely to equip the Galaxy Note20 Ultra model with the Exynos 992 chipset in regions outside the United States.


The display refresh rate will also be significantly improved compared to its predecessor. While the Galaxy Note10 supported a 60Hz refresh rate, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra is expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate even when set to QHD+ (1440p) resolution. The refresh rate refers to the number of times the display shows a frame per second; the higher it is, the smoother the screen transitions when scrolling and the more natural the experience when playing videos or games.


Additionally, there have been consistent reports that the Galaxy Note20 Ultra will feature an LPTO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) display. LPTO technology reduces power consumption and enables a refresh rate of up to 120Hz with WQHD+ resolution. Earlier, Ross Young, CEO, predicted that the Galaxy Note20 Plus (Ultra) model might be released slightly later due to the inclusion of LPTO.



Camera and S Pen features are also expected to be significantly improved compared to the previous model. Although it will be equipped with a 108-megapixel camera like the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the 'Space Zoom' feature, which allows up to 100x zoom, will be excluded, supporting only up to 50x zoom. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is expected to be released in models with a 6.9-inch display, 12GB RAM with 128GB storage, and 16GB RAM with 512GB memory, respectively. IT specialist media PhoneArena explained, "Supporting a 120Hz display refresh rate on a 5G smartphone inevitably leads to high battery consumption, but due to the inclusion of the S Pen, the battery capacity is more likely to support 4500mAh rather than 5000mAh."
