This could be our first real-world look at the massive Samsung Galaxy Note 20

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Galaxy Note 20 likely won’t be out for at least another month or so, but a leaked image could provide our first real look at the upcoming device. The leak comes from YouTuber Jimmy is Promo, and it shows a device with a beautifully large edge-to-edge display and a stunning glossy black finish.

Samsung usually launches new Galaxy Note models in August, and a Samsung event is rumored for August 5.

The leaked images themselves show off the volume rocker and power button on the right side of the device, in a similar placement to the new Galaxy S20. Apart from the camera array and some other changes, the tweaks to the overall design seem minor.

Perhaps the biggest change is the new rectangular camera bump, which matches the one on the new Galaxy S20. The camera bump houses a total of four camera sensors, including what appears to be a folded zoom lens. One of the sensors is also likely a time-of-flight sensor.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Note 20 is likely to be one of the best phones of the year. You’ll get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, along with at least 8GB of RAM, though possibly more, and at least 256GB of storage. The device will also reportedly offer a 6.7-inch display, with a possible Plus-sized model coming in with a 6.9-inch display. Speaking of the display, Samsung is also expected to start moving away from the curved glass trend, and as a result it’s likely that the Galaxy Note 20 may offer only slightly curved edges.

Color options for the Galaxy Note 20 may have leaked too. Notably, the device may come in gray, copper, and green, while the larger Galaxy Note 20 may come in black, copper, and gold. If leaks about the colors turn out to be true, it’s possible the leaked images from Jimmy is Promo depict the larger Galaxy Note 20 Plus.

While the new devices may be announced on August 5, it likely won’t be until later in the month that they’re actually available to purchase, barring any delays due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

America’s 250th anniversary time capsule includes an iPhone 17 Pro Max

The United States has sealed a massive time capsule to mark its 250th anniversary, and among the dozens of artifacts chosen to represent modern America is one item almost everyone today would recognize: an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The stainless steel capsule, weighing roughly 900 pounds (about 400kg), was buried in Philadelphia as part of the country's semiquincentennial celebrations. It is scheduled to remain sealed for the next 250 years, with plans to open it in 2276 during America's 500th anniversary celebrations.

Apple’s foldable iPhone may arrive this fall, but good luck getting your hands on one
Apple’s foldable iPhone hype may run straight into a launch shortage
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Apple’s first foldable iPhone may have a repeat of the iPhone X moment this fall. A new report from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the rumored iPhone Ultra (foldable iPhone) could be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but preorders and sales may arrive later because early production is expected to be extremely limited.

Kuo says Apple may build around 7 million to 8 million foldable iPhones in the second half of 2026. The problem is timing. Only 0.5 million to 1 million units are expected to be ready in the third quarter, which is when Apple usually prepares for its September iPhone launch. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, by comparison, are expected to have around 20 million to 22 million units ready in the same period.

Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones this fall, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra. The iPhone 18 Pro Max was recently tipped to get a major battery boost, with one leak claiming a 5,235mAh battery for the physical SIM model and a 5,425mAh battery for the eSIM-only version.

Now, China’s 3C certification database (via Digital Chat Station) appears to show the actual battery capacities for both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Interestingly, the Pro Max numbers listed there are even larger than the earlier leak suggested.
