According to a new rumor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series will get a 120Hz screen with variable refresh. This means that the high refresh rate can also work at higher resolutions without the phone using too much energy.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20+ could get the variable refresh using low-temperature polycrystalline oxide. That writes analyst Ross Young on Twitter. Young spoke about earlier a larger front screen of the Galaxy Fold 2. According to XDA Developers is this backplanetechnology more energy efficient than what Samsung now uses in OLED panels.
The Galaxy S20 series also has support for 120Hz, only these phones cannot combine this with the highest screen resolution. For example, on the 3200×1440 resolution, only 60Hz is possible, 120Hz only works if users opt for a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. Moreover Samsung reportedly works to an option to also make available at the highest S20 resolution of 120Hz. This will probably result in a shorter battery life.
With the Galaxy Note 20 series, the ltpo backplane should allow the phone to support high resolution and a high refresh rate at the same time without increasing the power consumption. With variable refresh, the Note 20 could dynamically adjust the refresh to gain more control over power consumption, XDA Developers writes.
According to the analyst, both phones are also slightly larger than the previous generation. The Note 20 with the 6.42 “screen gets a large resolution of 2345×1084 pixels, making the pixel density 404ppi. This phone gets a ratio of 19.5: 9. The Note 20+ goes from 6.8” to 6, 87 “and gets a 3096×1444 resolution, making the pixel density 497ppi. The aspect ratio of this phone will then be 19.3: 9. Samsung normally shows the new Note phones around August. It is unclear whether the corona virus delayed the Note 20 series is going to lead.
