Samsung’s Galaxy Note line packs the latest and greatest hardware, and it won’t be surprising to see the company going all out for the Galaxy Note 20 series. But as per a fresh leak from a reliable tipster, the Galaxy Note 20+ might make a few notable sacrifices when it comes to the phone’s camera hardware and its capabilities.
Leakster Ice Universe mentioned in a Weibo post that the Galaxy Note 20+ will use the in-house 108MP ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor, the same sensor packed inside the Galaxy S20 Ultra. But unlike the 100x Space Zoom on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the upcoming stylus-toting Samsung phone will be limited to 50x digital zoom output.
As for the zoom lens itself, Samsung Galaxy Note 20+ will use a 13MP telephoto lens with an F/3.4 aperture, again a downgrade from the 48MP telephoto lens fitted inside the Galaxy S20 series phones.
The Galaxy Note 20+ is also claimed to pack a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera that has an F/2.55 aperture. There will also be a laser autofocus module at the back to help the Galaxy Note 20+ quickly achieve focus lock. The leaked camera specs of the upcoming phone also fall in a previous leak, but do take them with a pinch of salt.

“OnePlus Buds” could be the name of OnePlus’ TWS earphones
We’ve been hearing that OnePlus is working on some Truly Wireless Earbuds for a while now which have been tipped for a July launch. Now, the same source just shared a new sketch of the buds, which still looks like a combination of the regular AirPods with the Pixel Buds case. They’re reportedly going to be called the OnePlus Buds and they’re expected to have support for touch controls, the Google Assistant, and fast-pairing with OnePlus phones. We don’t have any more details but we’ll see them soon enough.
Apple might offer health monitoring capabilities on AirPods in the next few years
Speaking of earbuds, it looks like Apple wants to bring some health improvements to the AirPods in the next few years. According to two new DigiTimes reports, Apple has roped in ASE Technology to supply components to add ambient light sensors for health monitoring duties. These light sensors would pass light through your skin to check blood movement in the vessels to detect your heart rate and any other data. However, this would require a redesign for the AirPods and it will most likely come in the next 1-2 years.
Motorola RAZR successor’s specs allegedly leaked, arriving in September
Last week Lenovo’s South African GM leaked that Motorola is working on a second generation Moto RAZR and now, leaks naturally follow. We have some new leaked specs from XDA that include a Snapdragon 765G SoC which is certainly an upgrade from the 710 we got with the original RAZR. It also packs 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’ll bring a 2845 mAh battery as well as a 48MP main camera and a 20MP selfie shooter. It’s also expected to bring 5G, but only on sub 6GHz networks. This phone should come in September according to the leaks the GM shared.
Story of the day:
Galaxy Note 20+ leaked renders show a familiar design and ginormous camera bump
We have some new renders for the Galaxy Note 20 and they actually come from OnLeaks this time. They’re slightly different than the ones we got last week but retain some of the same elements. According to the leaks, this phone will bring a 6.9in AMOLED display with the centered punch hole. Now, at the back we have a huge camera hump that might even be bigger than the Galaxy S20 Ultra. We have three lenses that kind of remind us of the iPhone 11 line up because of the rings for each camera, as well as a ToF sensor. We’re also able to see the periscope zoom lens but it’s not clear if this one will have 100x capabilities like the S20 Ultra did. This leaks also retain the changes like moving the buttons to the right and the S Pen to the left of the phone.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 20 series has been in the news lately, appearing in multiple concept renders and also getting some of its camera details leaked. Now, reliable leakster Steve H. (@OnLeaks) has shared renders and a 360-degree video of the Galaxy Note 20+, and given his past track record, these might well be the real deal.
The front remains virtually unchanged from what we saw on the Galaxy Note 10 duo, but the rear panel is where the real difference is. Contrary to concepts that showed the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s camera module slapped on the back, the fresh Galaxy Note 20+ renders show a different take on the camera module. And oh my God, that camera bump is huge.
There are three lenses stacked vertically at the back of Samsung’s upcoming flagship, with the one at the bottom being a periscope camera. We also see a smaller camera lens (likely a 3D ToF camera) positioned below the LED flash and what appears to be a laser autofocus module. The glass-made rear panel is curved, but the screen slopes towards the edges very gently and looks almost flat.
The Galaxy Note 20+ is claimed to pack a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a hole-punch drilled in the center, in line with the Infinity-O design language. Another minor change is that the S Pen slot has been moved from the right edge on the Galaxy Note 10 and aligns with the left edge on the Galaxy Note 20+.
