The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 appear to be what Samsung fans and critics alike have been demanding from the company for generations. Slimmer builds, larger displays, and even more powerful chipsets — what’s not to like? But ironically enough, Samsung might be hoping its latest Z-series lineup is enough to convince anyone with an aging Note device to make the plunge, even as S Pen compatibility is ripped away from that big, foldable display.
After briefly being dropped down earlier this week, Samsung says that the Galaxy Note 20 series will continue to get monthly security updates after all, at least for now.
Earlier this week, Samsung announced its Android 14 update and confirmed a list of devices that would be updated. Surprisingly, the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series were included on that list, but they’ve since been removed, confirming they likely won’t get Android 14 after all.
Android 13 was first launched on Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series at the end of October, and now it’s expanding to more devices. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy Note 20 series are all getting Android 13 starting today.
After detailing the One UI 5 update yesterday, Samsung has expanded its Android 13 beta program to several more devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Flip 3, and more. But there are some strange omissions.
Samsung’s camera app has some features for both the novice and the advanced user, but the Galaxy S22 helped usher in a new “Expert RAW” camera experience. Now, Samsung has confirmed an expansion of the Expert RAW app to more devices.
Samsung’s rollout of Android 12 is back on full steam ahead, with the rollout resuming and even expanding to more regions for the company’s newest foldables. Alongside the latest devices, though, last year’s crop of Samsung smartphones is also now getting Android 12 including the Galaxy S20 series, Note 20, and Galaxy Z Fold 2.
2021 marked a big year for the Galaxy Note series, but not in a good way. Rather, it was the beginning of the end as Samsung prioritized its foldables over the Galaxy Note line. Now, the death of the Note seems set in stone, as Samsung reportedly has no plans for a 2022 Galaxy Note, and is also planning to end production of the Galaxy Note 20.
While Android 12 has only been released on one Samsung device in its stable form, Samsung is moving along with bringing the update to more devices. Today, Samsung has opened up the Android 12 / One UI 4.0 beta program to the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20.
After launching on the Galaxy S21 series and Samsung’s latest foldables, a new duo of devices is getting One UI 4.0. Available as of today, Samsung has launched the Android 12 Beta on its Galaxy Note 20 series.
One of the areas in which many Android devices fall behind Apple is the lack of easy access to repairs, but that’s something Samsung is actively working to change. This week, Samsung has announced a partnership with Best Buy that will bring smartphone repairs even for foldables to US Best Buy locations.
Refurbished smartphones are a common way to save a few bucks on an upgrade, and this week, Samsung is expanding its list of official offerings. Now, you can buy a refurbished Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra that’s certified by Samsung itself.
The rollout of Android 11 by Samsung has been way faster than anyone expected, and it continues to expand to more devices. However, that rollout came with One UI 3.0, not the newer version shipping on the Galaxy S21. Tonight, Samsung is announcing the rollout of One UI 3.1.
Samsung kicked off its Android 11/One UI 3.0 update earlier this month and, now, things are accelerating. Over the weekend, the Android 11 update started rolling out on the Galaxy Note 20 series in the US starting with AT&T-sold models.
The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra might be one of the most expensive smartphones on the market right now, but it comes with some serious hardware and is arguably one of the best devices you can buy, period.
As we talked about in our review last week, Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is one impressive smartphone. It comes with the latest and greatest everything, including Gorilla Glass Victus. Now, we’re seeing the strength of that glass in a very impressive Galaxy Note 20 Ultra drop test.
Smartphones have reached a bit of a plateau over the past few years, with mainstream flagships essentially just trying to surpass each other in getting closer and closer to perfection. With its Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung improves on what’s been an excellent formula with the Galaxy Note 10 and S20 series and crafts a phone that is truly excellent. It’s just hitting the market at completely the wrong time.
The death of the headphone jack still stings for some users, but for a while, it’s been eased by the inclusion of wired USB earbuds in the box with some devices. With its Galaxy Note 20 series, though, Samsung doesn’t include any earbuds in the box.
During its Galaxy Note 20 announcement earlier this month, Samsung threw in the reveal that it would start supporting its devices for 3 years, matching the policy of Google’s Pixel lineup. Now, Samsung has confirmed the full list of devices that will get 3 major Android updates in their lifetimes.
At the Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this month, Samsung unveiled and teased a wide swath of devices, especially new phones. Today, Netflix has added official HDR support for many newer Samsung devices including the Galaxy Note 20, Z Fold 2, and more.
Samsung’s Galaxy flagships are excellent smartphones, but they trip up a bit when it comes to software. Between bloatware, slower updates, and more, it can be a little frustrating. Today, though, Samsung is announcing something big. Every Samsung flagship since the Galaxy S10 will get three years of Android updates.
Samsung had a strong showing today at their Galaxy Unpacked event, showcasing the latest tablets, accessories, and, of course, phones. Here are the many, many ways to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Ultra, and the best deals for each of them.
