Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Model Number SM-N980* & SM-N981* Differences

Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 20 5G and Note 20 Ultra 5G in August 2020 with the former being the more affordable version. The Note 20 delivers the core experience of Note series with the price tag of $999.

As compared to the more expensive Ultra edition, the Note 20 has a few compromises including the display, memory, storage, camera, design, 5G capability, and no Ultra wideband. Specifically, the phone has thicker bezels, the older Gorilla Glass 6 glass on the front, and polycarbonate plastic on the back. It features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Flat AMOLED display with 2160 x 1440 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM, 128GB/256GB onboard storage, a 4,300mAh battery, Snapdragon 865 Plus/Exynos 990 processor, and a S Pen stylus. The triple rear camera system is ported from the S20 family, so we have a 12MP dual pixel wide lens, a 64MP telephoto lens with a Hybrid 3x zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens.
