After the LTE and 5G enabled Galaxy Note 20 Ultra passed through the FCC yesterday, it is time for the international Galaxy Note 20 5G to do the same. Model number SM-N981BThe Galaxy Note 20 5G has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission today, July 16, with just a few weeks before Galaxy Unpacked 2020.
FCC documents reveal the phone’s dimension is 161 x 75.2mm, making it taller and wider than the Galaxy Note 10. The FCC doesn’t mention the thickness of the phone, but based on previous leaks, the Galaxy Note 20 (5G) must have an 8.5mm profile.
Although a LTE-only Galaxy Note 20 has yet to be confirmed by the regulatory agency, it stands to reason that the smaller model will follow the same strategy as the larger Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and will launch with LTE connectivity in markets where a 5G device It would not make sense.
The international Galaxy Note 20 5G could work with the Exynos 990 chipset despite previous reports that Samsung could equip its next flagship S Pen with an improved Exynos 992 solution. Unfortunately, this has not been confirmed or denied by the FCC documents, so only time will reveal Samsung’s final decision. Either way, the chipset will likely be paired with 12GB of RAM, at least for the Galaxy Note 20 5G variant, while the LTE model could be limited to 8GB.
