Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 is expected to launch in August, and details of Samsung's plans for this major event have been revealed for the first time

As reported by The Korea Herald (via SamMobile), Samsung is planning an online-only event to reveal the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus This will be Samsung's first Unpacked event to take place entirely online

The last Unpacked event held in San Francisco to unveil Samsung's Galaxy S20 reportedly had over 3,000 attendees, but with the coronavirus pandemic being discussed, such attendance is unlikely to increase Even though the pandemic appears to have subsided somewhat, Samsung could not hold such a large event so soon in August

Last year's Galaxy Note 10 event was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and was also quite packed Even if Samsung were to widen the seating spacing, it would be very difficult to maintain a social distance when lining up for the event or actually picking up a Galaxy Note 20

According to The Korea Herald, Samsung Electronics is "holding in-depth meetings and formulating concrete plans" for the online Unpacked event However, the actual date of the event is still flexible and could be decided by Samsung at the last minute, according to the paper

As for expectations, the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus will reportedly feature large 642-inch and 687-inch displays, respectively, and both could offer smooth refresh rates of 120 Hz Furthermore, because of what is called LTPO technology, these panels may be more efficient than the 120Hz panels expected to be found on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max

In addition, the Note 20 phones are expected to feature Qualcomm's new Sonic Max fingerprint sensor, which is 17 times larger and can read two fingerprints at once On the camera front, the Galaxy Note 20 Plus may steal the 108MP sensor from the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but rumors suggest that it will not feature a 100x space zoom

Both the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Plus are said to have larger batteries and perhaps standard 16GB of RAM The two phones should debut along with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 when Samsung holds an online event this August
