Having played with a S20 Ultra, I have to say I actually prefer the squared corners of the Note series. The rounded corners of the S20 series don't look as slick to me! Looking forward to the Note 20 now (must resist S20 Ultra temptation)!

I am right there with you, really prefer the Note squared corners, but the zoom on the Ultra is really tempting me.

Same here......i probably buy a second Note10+ before the current shape becomes extinc. Too early to tell anyway but it'll be interesting to find out what the innovative curve is.

Grrrr, Samsung, that sucks....
*finger hovers over pre-order button...*
Personally I like the curved screens but then I always use the LED flip cases and being a homescreen minimalist I exclusively use the side bar that is enhanced with the case and curve

However in settings there are some great tools to stricture accidental touches to the sides if you are prone to this

But this new 180 deg curve has me wondering, it may just be a patent blocker than a forthcoming reality

I hope it's not that curved type of display, and more like these rumored renders that show a flatter display similar to the S20.

If they really go for that design then I demand they change the name to Galaxy Tube 20

I'm really hoping they don't repeat this process of announcing 3 Galaxy Note devices... I really didn't see the need for 2 Notes last year. Majority of folks, especially the Note fans... gravitated toward the Note Plus. It just makes sense.... if you are a Note fan.

I don't know if it's a psychological aspect of releasing more phones or perhaps it gives Samsung the ability to price phones at enormous price points. And, I get it... it's nice to have a array of selections to choose from. But, releasing 3 Galaxy Note devices.... I already know the price of the Ultra is going to stupid ridiculous.

Don’t give em any ideas, I love my smaller Note 10 and look forward to getting the smaller Note 20 if they make one.

Also, the “smaller” Note 10 is roughly the same dimensions as every Note made up until the 7 and has a larger screen than every Note ever made until the Note 9.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first year its bluetooth.

It would be cool if they added microphone support, or maybe that's a stretch.

Bluetooth actually came with the Note 9’s S Pen. What was added for the Note 10 was a gyro, which can be used to activate more things. I personally like it, while most of the Bluetooth stuff can be done in the Note 9 (like photo capture or switching to selfie camera, play/pause and change tracks using the button), I like how we can now change volume and change zoom and camera modes.

Yeah, I figured it was added earlier. But you can also have multiple S-Pen with the Note10.

I just saw a rumor relayed from Sam Mobile to 9to5 Google that the Note 20 will get downgraded to 128 GB base storage. o_O:rolleyes:🤪 I'm not necessarily personally interested anymore, due to downsizing to the S20. But I ... I just don't get it. They're pushing more megapixels that eat up storage. But they're going backward on storage.

Latest rumours..

Project “C”, otherwise known as Canvas, is said to be the code-name for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20.

“Canvas” is said to refer to its S Pen, for which new features are sure to be coming.

It could also be a reference to the phone’s sheer size. One rumour suggests the phone will come in at a huge 7.1”, providing even more surface area to work on with the latest gen S Pen.

So Samsung.. in conclusion give me the same screen tech/specs/bells and whistles as the S20 range plus squared corners and I am sold! :rolleyes:

Samsung is doing similar things with their big screen TV's, they actually have less features in the 2020 models compared to the 2019. It's anoyying tbh.
