2020 Flagship 5G Phones
Samsung today released their largest and most powerful smartphones, the 6.7-inch Note20 and 6.9-inch Note20 Ultra. Both come with improved S Pen, Android 10, and the same 10MP front selfie cameras. Each has 3 cameras on the rear with slightly different photo capabilities. The Ultra model provides more megapixels, longer optical zoom and a laser autofocus sensor. Ultra also has better screen, more RAM, and a bigger battery. Internally, processors are the same and both are 5G enabled. The easiest way to spot the difference is to notice the curved edges of the Note20.
