Galaxy Note 20 to Fix Some Galaxy 20 Issues
March 08, 2020
The Galaxy Note 20 will set about fixing some of the issues that the Galaxy S20 Ultra has run into, by overhauling the OLED screen so that it emits less blue-light, and lowers power consumption. The 120 Hz high refresh rate coupled with 5G usage drains the battery of any handset pretty quickly, and Samsung took measures to prevent that by only allowing 120Hz for the lowest two screen resolution options.
It's been reported that Samsung is already fixing this handicap for the devices' launch on March 6, but that won't change the battery consumption. But the new OLED screens it just announced could have a drastic impact. a patent granted to Samsung for its waterfall display also includes grip-based sensors - EMG for ascertaining muscular health, EEG for measuring brain activity, and ECG for monitoring heart health. While these aren't unusual for other devices, like smartwatches, they’ve never been implemented in a smartphone and are rumored for the Note 20. A recent video shows off renders of what the handset might look like, and touches on the holographic smartphone projector - also mentioned in the patent - that can create stereoscopic images, meaning we may even see this pop in the Note 20. As reported previously, the new OLED displays will emit 6.5% blue light - the lowest in the smartphone industry by, and a further improvement on Samsung's 2019 OLED display that emits 7.5% blue light. According to their press release, the blue light output is 70% lower than the majority of LCD smartphone displays and the panel will consume 15% less power than before, dropping from 1.5W to 1.3W on average.
