Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra may try to be the Xbox phone


Samsung’s Note 20 Ultra, which will launch on August 5 at the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event, may be highly optimized for streaming Xbox games via xCloud, according to a new report from WinFuture.

While that may come as a surprise, Samsung and Microsoft have become quite welcoming over the past year. Last August, at the last Galaxy Note launch event, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella appeared on stage to recognize a greater partnership between the two companies, and the two companies announced that Samsung would pre-install the Your Phone app, the Microsoft Office, LinkedIn and OneDrive applications. Galaxy Note 10.

The two companies also announced that they would partner on a cloud-based game streaming service in February. A game streaming service made by Microsoft would also fill a gap for Samsung, which closed its own PC-to-phone game streaming service in March. Apparently, there will be more than 90 games available to stream on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra via xCloud, according to WinFuture.

WinFuture’s The report also included details on Samsung’s new flagship Note The phone is expected to have a 6.9-inch screen with a 3200 x 1440 resolution, and will apparently be capable of a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra. . The phone may also be the first to have Corning’s Gorilla Glass 7.

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is expected to have three cameras on a large camera bump, which we’ve seen in previous phone leaks, and WinFuture above all corroborates other rumors about those cameras. WinFuture It says the phone will have a 108-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 12-megapixel periscope lens (although Ice Universe reported it would be 13-megapixels) that can be magnified up to 50X. That zoom would be a step below the promoted 100X zoom of the Samsung S20 Ultra, but it turned out to be a trick in real-world use, so perhaps the reduced zoom will result in better photos. And the perforating front camera is 10 megapixels, reports WinFuture.

The S Pen stylus on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra can only have a latency of nine milliseconds, depending on WinFuture. And YouTuber Jimmy Is Promo revealed that the Note 20 Ultra may have a new “pointer” mode that will allow you to use an on-screen cursor pointing the S Pen at the phone, as shown in a video released earlier this month.

Completing the specifications, WinFuture It reports that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will work on 5G networks, it comes with 256 or 512 GB of storage that can be expanded via microSD and it has 12 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 6 and a 4,500 mAh battery.
