Samsung detailed most of those in its rather lengthy promo videos exploring every nook and cranny of the handset – from the design process to the performance charts – but a few stunning new features have apparently remained under the radar.

The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are first with this new 5G power amplifier

Qualcomm’s new LPAMiD QPM5625 module is a mouthful, but it serves a very important function in the attached 5G modem of the Snapdragon 865+ chipset in the Note 20 series. It is a new amplifier for both 5G and 4G low-band signal grabbing, and thus more futureproof on global networks than previous editions.
We’ll take the booster for a spin when the Note 20 is officially available, and check out how it’s doing on major transport networks, what with the new low – band coverage that everyone, and especially T-Mobile, seem to be on bank.

Wireless DeX

Look, Ma, no DeX docking system! Yep, the Note 20 and Note 20 are Ultra The first models of Samsung that you can connect to your TV without docks, cables or dongles, the so-called Wireless DeX which we have been hearing about for a while now.

Dedicated, fast-paced gaming titles and high-resolution 8K video can be a bit of a challenge for the connection to pull off uninterruptedly, but at long last you can just grab and throw something that displays on your phone to the biggest screen in the house whose interface is terrible in principle.

Of course, you can still connect Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or, in the case of the new Note 20 models, use the S Pen to go between slides for a presentation.

VRR display to 10hz

Sure, Samsung’s Variable Refresh Rate on the Note 20 Ultra display is a step up from the fixed rates on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but due to the lack of Pixelworks’ Iris chip family, it can’t do 120Hz at full 1440p screen resolution, as upscale video to play at 60 frames, MEMC style.

However, it brings some news to the high display refresh table that is rooted in flagship phones today – the ability to limit the refresh rate up to 10Hz, which should save on battery when displaying static images, to compensate for ‘ comparing the battery capacity of 10% with the S20 Ultra.

One UI 2.5 vs OneUI 2.1 differences

There are not many new features in the Note 20 series One UI 2.5 interface version upgrade compared to the previous one 2.1 edition still on your S10, Note 10 and S20 series.
Actually, the list of differences is pretty short and insignificant, and the current promise of third-party navigation launches still seems to be in flux, but you can check out some of the new One UI 2.5 features below, and chill about it have them arrive at you S20 immediately.
Here is a list of the differences and new features of Samsung One UI 2.5 vs One UI 2.1, as found on the Note 20 Ultra:
  • A 22: 9 aspect ratio for video corresponds to the new aspect ratio of high screens.
  • New resolution of video recording and frame rate info in Pro camera mode.
  • Switching new focus options in Pro Camera mode.
  • New YouTube icon in standard keyboard for easier video sharing in messaging and chat apps.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra drop test, is the first phone with Gorilla Glass Victus going through?

Another unique new feature of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the seventh generation of sturdy Gorilla Glass that the phone uses to protect against both drops and scratches. Corning, the company that makes Gorilla Glass, had to focus on one thing or another until now, but with the latest Gorilla Glass it attacked the naming scheme to indicate a new era that has emerged on glass phones.

Does Gorilla Glass Victus deliver? Now, you can see for yourself in one of the first Galaxy Note 20 Ultra drop tests that take the rugged yet flexible Victus cover for the ride of its life, and it escapes unnoticed from a face down drop balcony tiles, in a pretty encouraging sign.
