The Galaxy Note 20 is only a month or so away, so it's not surprising that we're starting to see more and more leaks. What is surprising is the latest came directly from Samsung.
Images of what appears to be a new Galaxy Note 20 - the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra according to leaker Max Weinbach - were spotted on the company's Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese websites, as part of the Note 8 product page.
While the photos don't tell us too much, they reveal the phone has a periscopic zoom lens, as seen in the Galaxy S20 Ultra. If the Note 20 Ultra has a similar camera setup, this would facilitate 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom, and 100x digital zoom. The colour pictured is reportedly called Mystic Bronze.
Previously leaks have suggested we'll once again see two Galaxy Note models this year, presumably a standard Galaxy Note 20, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The standard Note 20 is expected to have a 6.7-inch display, while the larger Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is expected to measure in at 6.9-inches. That's up from 6.3-inches and 6.8-inches on the Galaxy Note 10 family. From the front, the pair should look pretty similar to last year's devices.
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Note 20 devices gain a few features from the S20 range, such as a 120Hz displays, larger batteries, and a 108MP camera in Ultra. Reports suggest that Samsung has solved the S20 Ultra's camera focusing issues this time around.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Note 20 in August, but dates for a reveal event have yet to be confirmed. Rumours suggest August 5. Last year, Samsung unveiled its new Notes at the start of August with pre-orders starting immediately, ahead of an August 23 local release date.
We're also expecting to see Samsung use its Note 20 event to reveal the Galaxy Fold 2 and a 5G Galaxy Z Flip.
