Other Galaxy Note 20 Features

Earlier leaks claimed that the Galaxy Note 20 would feature a 120 Hz display refresh rate. However, a recent announcement from Samsung Display triggers the possibility that the upcoming phablet might sport the new display, which the company claims is optimized for 5G smartphones. From the official announcement, we learned that this new display is capable of reducing the power consumption as well as cuts the emission of blue light.

A study published by Harvard reveals that the blue light emitted by smartphones is not bad for the eyes. However, it has a significant effect on the quality of our sleep. If this rumor about the optimized 5G display would be on the Galaxy Note 20, consumers could be looking at a phablet that is not only powerful but also helpful to its user’s health.

These details, however, interesting are not yet official. At this point, take these details with a pinch of salt. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is expected to arrive in Jul. 2020.
