Samsung Galaxy Note20: Design

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 is the latest affordable flagship Note series smartphone from the South Korean tech brand that has a few compromises when compared to the Galaxy Note20 Ultra. The Note20 comes with a plastic back panel but it does offer features like IP68 certification just like the Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy Note20 has a massive 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, protected by the latest Corning Gorilla Victus. The panel offers FHD+ resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate, which is a bit of a let-down for a smartphone that costs over Rs. 75,000.

Samsung Galaxy Note20: Hardware Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 is powered by the Exynos 990 SOC in India. Unlike the Note20 Ultra, the Note20 is a 4G only smartphone and it does offer other connectivity features like VoWiFi and VoLTE. Similarly, the smartphone does offer 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage with no microSD card slot for additional storage expansion. In terms of day-to-day performance, the Samsung Galaxy Note20 can handle any task that you throw at it and it also comes with a new and improved S-Pen with a response time of 26ms, which is much better than the S-Pen found on the Galaxy Note10 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy Note20: Camera Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 has a triple camera setup at the back with a 64MP primary camera that supports native 8K video recording at 24fps and 4K video recording with up to 60fps.

At the front, the Samsung Galaxy Note20 has a single 10MP selfie camera with support for 1080p video recording and the phone also offers face unlock as well. In almost every lighting condition, the Samsung Galaxy Note20 can take great-looking photos on both the main camera and the selfie camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note20: Price To Specs Ratio

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 retails for Rs. 77,999, which makes it an expensive smartphone. For the asking price, the device misses out on a few features, including 5G support and there is no microSD card slot or a 3.5mm headphone jack as well. The device comes in three color variants and all three phones do offer features like IP68 water and dust resistance rating and also support wireless and reverse wireless charging as well.
