Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G battery and screen size are leaking at the FCC


For now, it is clear that the Galaxy Note 20 will be available in both 5G and LTE-only models, with the 4G version seemingly targeting the global market and Exynos sports processors, rather than U.S. operators.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G finally got its certification list on the FCC under the model name SM-981B in disguise and among the myriad of test reports that MySmartPrice analyzed, one can observe the actual dimensions of the device, the battery model number and the brick charging specifications.

Namely, the listed dimensions of the 161mm x 75.2mm Galaxy Note 20 are more compact than the 6.39 x 3.04 x 0.31 inch (162.3 x 77.2 x 7.9mm) size of the Note 10+ but much larger than the Note 10.

Since the Note 20 was rumored to come with a 6.4 “display, this size doesn’t really indicate a more refined design, with the top and bottom bezels shaved off in addition to those already slim on the 2019 Note models.
