Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra launched in Nepal

5th August 2020
"Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra unveiled with upgraded screens"

Samsung Electronics hosted its first-ever Galaxy Unpacked virtual event live-streamed from Korea to introduce a new suite of power devices. Five devices were revealed during the event, in which it unveiled the Galaxy Note 20 series alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 2 foldable phone, Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ tablets, Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatch, and Galaxy Buds Live earbuds.

The 2020 generation brings improvements on all fronts, from software to hardware, to make the S Pen even better. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra is built on the S20 Ultra platform. It has the same screen, a 6.9” Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 1440p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

The S Pen and the supporting Wacom layer on the screen have been updated to achieve 9 ms latency. Samsung says that at this point the experience is very much like writing on paper. Notes you take can be converted to Microsoft Office formats and synced with your other devices via Samsung Notes.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra Overview

The rear camera still features the large 108 MP main sensor. It produces 12 MP photos with binning, records 8K videos at 24 fps with a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio (this ratio is also available for 1080p at 120 fps videos) The Note20 Ultra still boasts a periscope lens with 5x optical magnification as opposed to 4x. There is now a 12MP sensor sitting behind it, replacing the 48MP sensor of the S20 Ultra.

The chipset divide remains, with a partial upgrade. Much of the world will get the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, which is 10% faster than the 865 found inside the S20 phones.

The Note20 duo is the first phone with special optimizations baked into their software. There will be over 100 Xbox titles available in mid-September with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The screen's 240 Hz touch sampling rate matches dedicated gaming phones.

The battery has been bumped up to 4,500 mAh, which is 200 mAh more than the Note10+ but 500 mAh less than the S20 Ultra. The phone is bundled with a 25 W charger, which is the fastest supported. The phone will be available in three colours at launch: Mystic Bronze, Mystic Black and Mystic White.

Price and availability 

The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra starts at $1,300/€1,266/£1,180 for the model with 256GB of storage. There is a 512GB option as well. Shipments will start “in select markets” on August 21. There will be both 4G and 5G (with mmWave) models available, but availability will differ by market.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 Overview

The Galaxy Note20 comes with a larger screen than its predecessor – 6.7”, up from 6.3” – making it only slightly smaller than the Ultra. However, it is a flat panel rather than a curved one. This is a 1080p+ panel with the old Gorilla Glass 5 (even the Note10 used GG6). Those aren't the only downgrades compared to the Ultra either. The one that hurts the most is the refresh rate, a standard 60 Hz.

Chinese NReal AR Glasses To Be Bundled With Samsung Galaxy Note20 And LG Velvet In South Korea

10th August 2020
"The types of applications are limitless, and with South Korea a leader in 5G, there should be some very useful apps developed."

In January 2019, Beijing-based startup nReal were starting to get attention from the west after a successful showing augmented reality (AR) glasses at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.                                     

The glasses, named Light, appears to have achieved mainstream recognition, because starting today, the glasses will be sold in South Korea as an optional bundle package alongside both Samsung and LG’s newest smartphones through the carrier LG Uplus.

When nReal cofounder Chi Xu was interviewed, he said he developed his idea for the Light because he thought Microsoft’s Magic Leap was far too bulky and expensive ($3,000). It was noticeably lighter and smaller than the Magic Leap.

It’s these two traits that attracted the partnership with LG UPlus.

We wanted to lower the barrier to the AR glass market with a realistic price and lightweight design” said Song Dae-won, executive vice president of LG UPlus’ device unit in a press release.

Consumers in South Korea can pick up a pair of nReal Light for 249,000 Korean won, or around $292, if they purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or LG Velvet through the carrier. This is a heavily subsidized price from the official $586 retail price.

The nReal Light is, essentially a pair of glasses with two 1080p screens attached to each spectacle, and together they pump out visuals that, when the glasses are worn properly, will be projected over real life field-of-view.

One key benefit of the nReal Light compared to other AR glasses is that the glasses can be plugged into a myriad of devices—including smartphones like the Galaxy Note 20 and LG Velvet.

For example, a user can plug the Light into a phone and scroll through Instagram as a digital overlay that “floats” over the real world, or watch YouTube videos. Software companies are free to build anything for the glasses and from my testing over a year ago, nReal demonstrated a Space Invader type game in which I had to move my head around to aim a crosshair to destroy incoming enemies.

The types of applications are limitless, and with South Korea a leader in 5G, there should be some very useful apps developed.
