The Galaxy Note 20 Plus' rear cameras take been leaked, and while the next Samsung flagship will inherit 1 of the S20 Ultra's almost impressive cameras, its periscope zoom camera may non be as powerful.

If you interpret the text of Ice Universe's mail, you'll run into that nosotros can wait a 108MP main photographic camera, a 13MP telephoto camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation focus sensor.

The 108MP sensor is the aforementioned one constitute on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and it's one of the sharpest cameras you can currently find in a smartphone. It's great news that Samsung's adding this onto its summit-tier Annotation xx, but the S20 Ultra did suffer from focusing bug, making it unnecessarily wearisome to take in-focus pictures.

That'south likely where the laser focus comes in. Replacing the normal time-of-flight auxiliary sensor, this is hopefully the remedy to Samsung'south camera woes. While TOF sensors can help make effects like portrait mode piece of work more accurately or brand AR apps better, some users may adopt a photographic camera system that focuses reliably, which the laser focus should help with.

The 12MP ultra-wide camera is the aforementioned resolution as the ultra-wide camera on the whole Galaxy S20 range, only the 13MP telephoto camera is not found on whatsoever of them. The S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus accept 64MP 3x hybrid zoom sensors, while the S20 Ultra has a 48MP 4x optical zoom sensor with a maximum of 100x hybrid zoom. It's non on last year'south Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note ten either, which both used 12MP sensors.

This 13MP telephoto camera has a maximum zoom of 50x according to Ice Universe, placing it between the 30x maximum of the S20 and S20 Plus and the 100x of the S20 Ultra.

This leak now puts into question what the base Galaxy Note twenty will apply for cameras. We'd look something similar to the Note 20 Plus, just it's possible Samsung will swap out the main camera for something smaller, like the 12MP sensor on the S20 and S20 Plus. Perhaps the laser focus volition exist left off appropriately.

We're currently expecting the Galaxy Annotation twenty serial to get a reveal event in August. Information technology will likely be accompanied past Samsung's side by side foldable, the Galaxy Fold 2, and could also be joined by the Galaxy Tab S7 tablet.

Other expected Annotation 20 specs include iv,000 and 4,500 mAh batteries, Snapdragon 865 CPUs (or Exynos 990s outside of the United states), 120Hz displays and 5G connectivity. While the design is yet a mystery at this signal, it volition probable look like a Galaxy S20 with sharper corners, with a slot at the lesser for the earth-shaking Southward Pen stylus that defines the Galaxy Note serial.
