Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
As the name suggests, this is the premium phone in the series with a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1440 plus resolution and 120 refresh rate, but to use the 120 Hz refresh rate you need to use 1080 plus resolution.
The S Pen has been improved and the company says that the user will have the experience of using it as if he were writing on a piece of paper.
Notes written on the S Pen can be converted to Microsoft Office formats while being connected to other devices.
S Pen will also be able to be used for navigation through new software actions such as drawing different shapes in the air, backing up in the browser, opening recent apps and much more.
One major change is the use of guerrilla glass wicks to protect its display, which is more resistant to scratches, while falling to a hard surface from a height of 2 meters has no effect on the phone.
An ultrasonic fingerprint reader is provided inside the display.
It will also feature the Exynos 990 for Europe and Asia, while Snapdragon 865 Plus processors in other countries will be 10% faster than the S20's 865 processor.
