Samsung optimized most of the things in Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. S20 Ultra has slow face detection autofocus corresponding to the 108-megapixel sensor but in this phone separate hardware is installed for face detection autofocus which works as laser autofocus and therefore no camera focus issues will be faced. The interesting feature in Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra is 8K video recording with aspect ratio 16:9 which will result in cinematic resolution. Samsung claimed to have increased the performance of chipset and GPU in Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra as compared to S20 Ultra due to software optimization. Its camera design made it immediately recognizable from a far distance. One thing that could be better in these devices is their battery capacity because many of the smartphones now have 5000-6000 mAH battery but hope so software optimization will lead to the optimum power consumption of the device and will provide more battery time.
