Leaked Note 20 case mold reveals S20 Ultra-like camera design
Samsung's Galaxy Note 20, the upcoming successor to the stylus-equipped Note 10, will feature an S20 Ultra-like camera design, according to a fresh leak. Tipster Roland Quandt has shared a couple of images of the case mold of the official Galaxy Note 20 LED View Cover, revealing some design details of the phablet including a large rectangular camera setup on the back.

The case mold confirms that Note 20 will bear a big rear-camera module on the top-left corner, identical to the S20 Ultra. It also reveals that the handset will have a boxier design rather than the rounded edges seen on the S20-series. Moreover, the volume rockers and power key will be housed on the right-hand side instead of the left-hand layout on its predecessor.
Just like the S20 range, the Note 20 should feature a punch-hole design, IP68 water resistance, and a high-quality QHD+ AMOLED display with HDR10 support as well as a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and fluidic animations.
The Note 20 will pack a 5G-ready Snapdragon 865 processor, likely to be paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. We also expect the handset to get an S20 Ultra-like versatile primary camera but with improvements in zoom and autofocus capabilities. Lastly, it should pack a 5,000mAh (or bigger) battery with 45W or faster fast-charging.
Going by the traditional launch cycle for Note series, the Note 20 could go official in August. However, we can expect a slight delay this time around due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As for pricing, we expect a $1,000 price-tag.
