While Samsung promised not to offer a notch on its smartphones, well, beaucse, everyone does it. However, it appears the South Korean giant is prepping its first phone with a notch. According to a report by 91mobiles, the company’s first phone with a notch is purportedly called the Galaxy M20.
That said, the leak suggests the handset will a have a rather tiny notch, something similar to a tear-drop styled notch as oppsed to the rather chunky notch found on the iPhone X or Google Pixel 3 XL.
So what is Samsung’s reason to add a notch? The report suggests the company is trying to make the notch as tiny as possible on the Galaxy M20. The notch would essentially hide the front-facing camera. Besides, it would allow the company to reduce the handset’s top and bottom bezels, essentially giving users more screen real estate to fiddle with.
In terms of specs, the Galaxy M20 is rumored to feature a 6-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080×2340 pixels. Under the hood, the smartphone is expected to get powered by Exynos 7 octa-core processor bundled with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage.
More details about the Galaxy M20 are expected to surface in the coming weeks as we near its official release. Key sources indicate that the handset is likley to release early next year, possibly a month before Samsung unveils the Galaxy S10 series.
Samsung is apparently trying its hand at all kinds of design elements for its upcoming handsets. The Korean giant also plans to release the Galaxy F foldable phone next year, alongside a 5G variant of its upcoming flagship.
