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

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.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have wireless charging?

Galaxy Unpacked was jam-packed with huge releases for big devices, but they don't get much bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung's new foldable smartphone has a regular smartphone-sized outer display and a big tablet-sized inner display for watching videos, reading books, or cracking on with some serious productivity.

Samsung has made some changes to the Z Fold this year. The Z Fold 6 is wider and shorter than previous versions while also boosting the size of the outer display, making the regular smartphone mode a bit more useful than before. Other changes have also been made, but one thing you may want to be sure of is whether the phone has wireless charging. After all, there are a lot of components in the way when this device is folded, so it would make sense if it's not capable of charging wirelessly.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 have wireless charging?

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 was recently revealed at Galaxy Unpacked and it is, pardon us, flippin' marvelous. While Samsung hasn't made many big changes to the formula that made last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 so good, it has bolstered the Z Flip 6 with a more durable body, upgraded internal specs, and a new main camera lens that makes it a much more enticing prospect for picture takers.

But there's more to a phone than just its specs or its camera, and for many people, the convenience of wireless charging is a big deal. Or perhaps you simply have a bunch of wireless charging pads and don't want to waste them. Either way, you're going to want to know if the Z Flip 6 has the ability to charge wirelessly. Here's whether (or not) the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has wireless charging.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 was recently announced, and it's surely far from affordable for most of us. While the outer glass body is toughened with Gorilla Glass, the inner screen is not as durable. While Samsung has reduced the use of any protective plastic covering, including the previously included screen protector on other phones, the Flip and the Fold are too expensive to be handled without it.
