Samsung has officially announced its next Galaxy Note series. Despite being successors to the Galaxy Note 10 series, the new devices have adopted a moniker befitting the most eventful year (so far) of the 21st century. As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 phones, especially the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (first impressions), are stocked with premium features. In India, Samsung justifies that by selling the Galaxy Note 20 for ₹77,999 (~$1,040) and the Note 20 Ultra for ₹1,04,999 (~$1,400).
Although these prices align with those in the U.S. (see the best Galaxy Note 20 deals for the US), the phones are definitely outside the comfortable spending zone for most Indian users. Thankfully, Samsung has some sweet deals on pre-orders of the smartphones, and that may grant some sort of comfort to those who eagerly wish to cherish the improved Note experience.
