Conclusion
Based on the rumours, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will be around the same size as the Galaxy S20+ but offer specifications more in line with the standard S20, along with an S Pen.
Leaks suggest the Note 20 will have the same camera, RAM and storage as the S20, along with a slightly larger battery capacity and display, S Pen capablities and a slightly more powerful chipset. The screen resolution does look like it will be lower though and the refresh rate half the speed of the maximum for the S20.
