Both the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have been widely leaked in recent days, with spec sheets and renderings leaving little to the imagination. But now we have our first look at one of the optional accessories that Samsung will be selling alongside the new S Pen series, namely the Smart Clear View Cover cases.

Samsung’s new antimicrobial coating is put into practice
Samsung had filed a trademark in early July for a Antimicrobial coating (via LetsGoDigital), and now it appears that the company is bringing this to market. Although the Galaxy Note 20 Smart Clear View Cover cases closely resemble the Galaxy Note 10 cases bearing the same name, the packaging of the latest accessory has a new logo accompanied by the Antimicrobial coating ‘brand.’
It is unclear whether this special coating added to the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Clear View Cover cases provides any beneficial effect in fighting viruses like COVID-19. To be precise, the University of Arizona has shown that certain antimicrobial coatings keep the new strain of coronavirus at bay, but it is not entirely clear what type of coating Samsung is using here.
However, Samsung has been battling the spread of COVID-19 in various ways and even launched a new product, the Wireless Charging UV Sterilizer, in order to keep your smartphone sanitized. With that in mind, we look forward to learning more about the effects of this antimicrobial coating in Galaxy Unpacked 2020.
