S-Pen Upgrades
The big draw to the Samsung Note range is its use of the S-pen stylus, which has received notable upgrades, according to the company. These tweaks will allow for greater responsiveness, precision, and new gesture controls, allowing you to also use the pen as a remote control.

The Samsung Note 20 features a 12MP main camera, 64MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP wide-angle camera.
