It delivers several different formats and even suggests the best one. And for portraits, it gives you studio-level photos with a pop of color in the background. Switch to Night mode and it instantly turns multiple frames into one well-lit, clear snap. The 10MP selfie camera then makes the package complete.
With 128GB of internal storage available on the Galaxy Note20, there’s more than enough to go around for your favorite apps, games and everything else in between.
In terms of battery, the 4300 mAh battery is able to stand its ground for a full day of activities. When the time comes to plug it in, it only takes 30 minutes to get it up to more than 50% of life so you can go out there and do more.
