The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is rumoured to follow a similar design to the Note 10+, also featuring square corners, though the camera housing on the rear is set to be more pronounced, like the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

It too will likely have an IP68 rating and a built-in S Pen, but it's claimed to feature Corning Gorilla Glass 7 and come in white, black and bronze colour options.
