Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series is all set to be launched on August 5. However, ahead of the launch, the Korean pricing of smartphones have leaked online. According to the new report, the Galaxy Note 20 may carry a similar price tag to the Galaxy Note 10 series.
As per a report from South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, which cites industry sources, Samsung may release the Galaxy Note 20 may hit the South Korean markets for KRW 1.199 million (~ $998 / Rs 74,700). In contrast, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra could cost KRW 1.452 million (~ $1,200 /Rs 90,400). To recall, the Galaxy Note 10 was priced at KRW 1.248 million and its 256GB storage variant was made available for KRW 1.397 million.
It is rumored that Samsung may lower the price of Galaxy Note 20 series to help recover from the sales slump faced due to the coronavirus pandemic. Further, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is also tipped to cost the same as the Galaxy Fold.
The Galaxy Note 20 will make its grand debut at the next Galaxy Unpacked event on August 5, alongside a host of other devices that include tablets, smartwatches, and a foldable phone as well. Ahead of its debut, Samsung has already started accepting reservations for the Galaxy Note 20 pre-orders as when and they go live.
Keep in mind that this is not a pre-order per se. Instead, if you register on this page, you’ll be the first in line when Samsung eventually starts accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 20. And if you complete the pre-order before August 4, you’ll get a Samsung Credit of $50 as a gift.
This $50 credit can be used for the purchase of other accessories, tablets, and smartwatches. In order to reserve your interest ahead of the Galaxy Note 20 pre-orders, you need to submit your first and last name, email address and ZIP code, alongside the carrier of your choice.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series is likely to be announced at Samsung’s UnPacked event on August 5. Ahead of the launch, rumors and leaks of the devices are coming from all around. The latest one says that Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will feature a dynamic refresh rate switching.
The development comes from known leakster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), who took to Twitter to reveal the information. Moreover, it says that similar to the Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra will not have an option to use 120Hz high refresh rate at QHD+ resolution.
The latest firmware Galaxy Note20 Ultra has added an adaptive 120Hz option. But there is still no QHD+120Hz option. pic.twitter.com/VOf9Y5LoJW
However, the company could offer a balance between decent battery life and performance with its dynamic switching feature. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra feature would help users to automatically switch between 60Hz and 120Hz depending on usage and the situation.

Sony postpones PlayStation 5 event on June 4 due to ongoing unrest
Last week we covered how Sony would be hosting an event on June 4th to showcase their newest game titles for the upcoming PS5 but it looks like that won’t be the case. The company just announced that they will be postponing their event as they feel that right now is not a time to celebrate and that more important voices should be heard at the moment. The company hasn’t revealed when the event will happen but, we’ll keep you posted. Bravo Sony. Thank you for taking a stand.
Android 11 leak shows a redesigned power button menu, controls for smart devices
Google delays Android 11 Beta Launch Show event scheduled for June 3
Now, even if Google just postponed their Android 11 Developers Preview Event that was happening on June 3rd, we have some Android 11 leaks. The event was postponed indefinitely due to the protests and the situation in the US but they claim the full Android 11 launch won’t be delayed. These new leaks come from Twitter and they basically show us the Power Button menu where we see 5 controls like Emergency, Power Off, Restart, Screenshot as well as a new Quick Controls menu which shows your smart devices and wallet access. The leak also shows that we will be getting a UI redesign at least in things like these. Google, also thank you for taking a stand.
if your iPhone runs on iOS 13, it could also get the new iOS 14 update
For those of you battling a tough economy, holding on to your device a bit longer is always a welcome relief, and you know Apple does that best. We have a new leak of which devices will be getting iOS 14 this year. We should take this with a grain of salt as this source doesn’t have the greatest track record but, according to them some inside sources claim that all devices running iOS 13 will be able to run iOS 14. This means that if you still have an iPhone 6s or iPod Touch7th gen or later, you’ll be able to get the update. They didn’t provide any information on iPads but we’re hoping it’ll be the same case if this actually happens.
Galaxy Note 20 might be able to pack a battery as big as the Galaxy Note 20+
I think one of the biggest deterrents of the small Galaxy Note 20 was that you weren’t getting a Galaxy Note Quality battery, and it looks like Samsung noticed. Apparently the company doesn’t want to cheap out on the batteries for the Galaxy Note 20 line. It just went through China’s 3C Certification and it shows that the regular Galaxy Note 20 will bring a 4300 mAh battery that’s rated at 4170 mAh. As a reference, last year’s Note 10 brought a 3500 mAh battery while the Note 10+ brought a 4300 mAh battery. According to another leak we got last week, the Note 20+ will bring a 4500 mAh battery so Samsung is closing that gap between the two variants.
Story of the day:
New images of alleged iPhone 12 dummy units suggest some changes
iPhone 12 allegedly begins mass production in 3Q20 with October launch in sight
And finally the hottest news today has to do with iPhones, and the fact that things might not be so bad for the launch timing, nor components. According to a new DigiTimes report, this year’s iPhones won’t get the regular September launch and we’ll have to wait until October, which switches things from the November we had heard. Due to the travel bans Apple hasn’t been able to send enough engineers to China which has delayed the production. DigiTimes also claims that the 6.1in iPhone will start production earlier than the rest. This is the iPhone that will allegedly bring the LG and BOE displays. The report suggests that this may happen to make sure that these panels meet the quality standards as LG display has had issues in the past. The Samsung displays on the other 3 are also easier to manufacture as they eliminate a separate touch layer. We also have some dummies of the iPhone 12 line up from MacOtakara which show the 4 designs but these don’t show the smaller notch that we’re expecting.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series is still a few months away, but the rumors have already started trickling in. The latest one reveals the battery size of the Galaxy Note 20.
An earlier report by GalaxyClub has claimed that the Galaxy Note 20+ will come equipped with a 4,500mAh battery. Now, according to the information obtained from China’s 3C certification database, the Galaxy Note 20 is tipped to pack a 4,300mAh battery. The battery carries model number EB-BN980ABY, which has a rated capacity of 4,170mAh.
To recall, the Galaxy Note 10 was launched with a 3,500mAh battery, while the elder sibling, the Galaxy Note 10+ packed a 4,300mAh battery. There was a noticeable difference of 800mAh between the two. However, this time around it seems like Samsung will minimize the gap between the two battery sizes.
Today we find the Google Pixel 3a and more products on sale
Deals. Best Buy currently has the Google Pixel 3a for $230 for the 64GB variant, however, the Pixel 3a XL is just $270 for the 64GB variant as well. Amazon currently has the Beats Solo 3 with a slight $20 discount, leaving them at $179 shipped. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is up to $75 off at both Amazon and B&H, which for those of you who always ask, yes that’s the watch I wear, and depending on the color variant you can get it for as low as $224. I say go silver as it’s easier to blend with 3rd party watch faces that age better. We also have more deals on Fender speakers, smart-thermostats and more in the links in the description.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch Active stops by FCC, revealing some juicy details
And speaking of my smartwatch of choice, we have some new leaks for the upcoming Galaxy Watch which we’re expecting to see in August. It just went through a new certification from the FCC revealing some new specs. We have two new sketches, the new Galaxy Watch will bring a 45mm stainless steel case, and it should also come in titanium and aluminum. It brings GPS and LTE connectivity and it will allegedly simply be called Galaxy Watch. However, we also have a sketch for the Galaxy Watch 2 but it doesn’t show the full name either or much details about it. So yeah, we wonder what they mean with that 2.
OPPO could have Qualcomm, MediaTek and HiSilicon engineers working on its new chip
OPPO has been working on bringing their own SoC to the market for a while now. According to a new Nikkei Asian report, OPPO is aggressively recruiting engineers from well-known companies to work on their new SoC. The report claims that they are in contact with MediaTek, UniSoc and other inside sources say that they are also in talks with Qualcomm and Huawei’s HiSilicon. An OPPO representative said that they are investing heavily in R&D to strengthen and simplify supply chain. Obviously we won’t be getting this anytime soon and it might take a couple of years, got It’s interesting to see how OPPO keeps evolving, and we know how that impacts other popular brands like OnePlus.
Instagram will soon monetize IGTV videos for online video creators to earn money
It’s no secret that people have been earning money through Instagram for the longest time but not necessarily through Instagram. You mostly had to do sponsored content from third parties and well the company is finally ready to monetize content for their creators. The company is rolling out new tools to introduce ads and allow creators to sell badges through IGTV. When it comes to the ads, they’ll be built for mobile and last 15 seconds each, 55% of the ad revenue will go to the creators. The badges will be kind of like a Twitch subscription where a fan would purchase it, get a special badge in the comments and they will get access to certain different perks. Badges will begin testing next month in certain countries and ads should start rolling out as of right now with some specific creators. We have a full list in the links in the description.
Color options for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series may have been leaked
We’ve been getting a lot of leaks for the Galaxy Note 20 line-up as we get closer to August. Recently we got different CAD renders showing off the design and now we get some leaked color variants. According to an inside source, the regular Note 20 will come in gray, green, and copper color variants while the Note 20+ will come in black and copper flavors. It looks like Samsung is looking for more simplified colors when compared to the flashy color variants from the Note 10, the source also claims that it won’t be the same copper variant we got with the Note 9 and instead it will be more of a gold-ish hue. It’s also possible that these aren’t all the colors as Samsung always launches more after the fact.
Story of the day:
The iPhone 13 may come with a killer camera according to the latest leak
And finally the hottest news today have to do with the iPhone 12, or should I say iPhone 13. Not sure if you noticed but every time Apple makes a change in design, that becomes the major feature, and not really any bump in specs or functionality. Well, it seems that’ll be the case this year. Like sure, we’ve been hearing about different changes for the iPhone 12 like the removal of the Lightning Earbuds, the LiDAR sensor and more, but it seems like major changes will happen until the iPhone 13. We covered the going port-less theory a few days ago, and now, we have some new leaks, The same source claims that these leaks should be taken with a huge amount of salt but it looks like Apple is going for major camera improvements until next year. He claims that we’ll be getting a quad camera array that includes a 64MP main sensor. Yeah 1x optical zoom is no x, but it does seem to bring 6x digital from it. Then there’s a 40MP telephoto with up to 5x optical zoom in addition, and then a 64MP anamorphic lens for video capture, plus a 40MP ultra wide and the LiDAR sensor we’re expecting for the iPhone 12. Yeah that’s a lot of camera

We have been getting some interesting rumors from the guys over at Galaxy Club. Now, we get word of the possible color options that we may get with the arrival of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series.
It seems that we may get new color options with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series. Apparently, the regular Galaxy Note 20 will come in gray, green, and copper, while the Galaxy Note 20+ would come in black and copper. This new copper option may not be like the Metallic Copper finish, which we saw in the Galaxy Note 9, but we also expect to get more color variants in the future.
