The Samsung Galaxy Note twenty is no stranger to leaks, but we never expected our clearest look still at the back of Samsung's next phablet to come from the tech giant itself. Yet that's exactly what'south happened, particularly in the case of the range-topping Galaxy Note 20 Ultra variant.

This is the big Note 20 — the one that'southward expected to have the Galaxy S20 Ultra's magnificent 108-megapixel photographic camera, impressive zoom capabilities and a 120Hz LTPO brandish — and these images arrive to us from Samsung's Russian website. Samsung has since pulled down the page, then information technology seems every bit though information technology did accidentally leak the Annotation 20.

Initially, scrolling to the bottom of the Samsung Russia's page on the Galaxy Note 8 revealed a side profile of what looks to be the adjacent-generation Note product. But a short time later the page was taken downwards. The Verge was the first to report on this internal leak.

While we're just getting a sneak peek at the highly-anticipated phablet, these images practice confirm that big rectangular photographic camera stack nowadays in some prototypes we'd seen over the last several months. The mocha-like color of the telephone's body and frame carries into that module, and the lenses themselves are encircled by metallic rings that call attending to the optics.

I admit that while I wasn't a huge fan of the Galaxy Note xx'south aesthetic in previous leaks, it looks really dainty here under the favorable light of Samsung's marketing materials.

Looking closely at the other image, we tin meet that the Note 20's signature S Pen is clad in that chrome texture every bit well, echoing the device's frame while offering a tasteful dissimilarity from the matte glass back. On the side is what looks like the power key below the volume rocker.

Back to the camera for a minute though. It's clear to come across that the terminal of the three optics in the line is deeply recessed, with a rectangular-looking prism facing outward. That would appear to be some other periscope zoom lens, again similar to what the S20 Ultra packed. A time-of-flight depth sensor likely sits to the right, concealed by that blackness pill-shaped strip.

We don't know if the new Note's zoom capabilities will rival the S20 Ultra's 100x "Space Zoom" functionality, just reputable leaker Ice Universe has stated in the past that we should exist able to expect a maximum 50x power out of this lens and sensor. That'southward still really good, and meliorate than what y'all become from virtually phones.

The timing of this oversight from Samsung happens only hours after nonetheless another leak seemingly confirmed August 5 as the date in which the visitor will launch the next-generation Notation line. On that twenty-four hour period at that place's a skillful take a chance we'll meet the Milky way Z Flip 5G and Milky way Fold 2 as well, in add-on to some accessories, similar new wireless earbuds and smartwatches.
