Samsung Galaxy Note 20 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is the 2020 flagship that closed out Samsung's legendary Note line with a built-in S Pen, a 64MP triple camera, and the Exynos 990 chip. Since it is officially discontinued, it now trades as a used phone in Pakistan. This guide gives you the verified specifications, realistic used-market pricing, and what to check before buying one in 2026.

Design and Build Quality

The Note 20 keeps the Note series' signature squared-off look with a plastic (polycarbonate) back and metal frame — a deliberate choice that makes it lighter and less fragile than the glass-backed Ultra. The front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Because the back is plastic, hairline scratches and paint wear are common on used units, so inspect the back panel and frame closely before buying second-hand.

Display Features

The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel delivers 1080 x 2400 resolution with strong contrast and always-on display. Note that the base Note 20 is a 60Hz panel — only the Note 20 Ultra got the 120Hz adaptive display. If you compare this with newer phones, the screen will feel less fluid, but for media and productivity it remains sharp and bright.

Processor and Performance

The Pakistan variant runs the Exynos 990 (7nm+) with 8GB RAM. In everyday use — multitasking, split-screen with the S Pen, 8K video recording — it still feels responsive in 2026. Heavy 3D gaming is where it shows its age: the chip runs warm and sustained performance drops under long gaming sessions. This is a productivity flagship first, a gaming phone second.

RAM and Storage

8GB RAM with 256GB built-in storage is the single Pakistan variant. Crucially, the base Note 20 has no microSD card slot (unlike the Ultra), so 256GB is all you get — verify the storage size in Settings before paying, since there is no way to expand it later.

Camera Features

The triple rear setup — 12MP main, 64MP telephoto with 3x hybrid optical zoom, 12MP ultrawide — remains a versatile camera system, and 8K video recording was a headline feature. Daylight photos hold up well in 2026; night mode is weaker than current mid-range phones. The 10MP front camera handles video calls and selfies competently. On used units, check that all three rear lenses focus correctly and the laser autofocus works.

Battery and Charging

The 4,300mAh battery supports 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. On a six-year-old used phone, battery health is the single biggest variable — ask for the battery's condition, check Settings for unusual drain, and factor a possible battery replacement into the price. A charger is not necessarily included with used units.

Software and Updates

The Note 20 launched on Android 10 with One UI 2.5 and received updates up to Android 13 with Samsung's 3-generation OS policy. It is now past its official update window, meaning no new Android versions or monthly security patches. That is acceptable for offline productivity use, but factor it in if you rely on banking apps with strict security requirements.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE with dual nano-SIM support (Pakistan variant). The headline extras: the Bluetooth S Pen with air gestures (remote camera shutter, slide control), Samsung DeX desktop mode, ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor, and IP68 dust/water resistance per launch specs. Note that water resistance on a used phone cannot be guaranteed — seals degrade, so treat it as splash protection only.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The Pakistan market got one variant: 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, 4G/LTE. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Note 20 5G are different models with different prices — do not let a seller quote you Ultra prices for the base model, or vice versa. Available colours were not officially confirmed from checked sources. The phone is discontinued; new sealed units are extremely rare, so nearly everything on sale in 2026 is used or refurbished.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

There is no current official price — Samsung discontinued the Note 20 years ago. A Lahore classified listing advertised a used 8GB/256GB unit at Rs. 52,000 (cello.pk, verified 2026-10-11). Expect the used range to swing with condition, PTA status, and accessories. Confirm the current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model. Note 20 units circulating in Pakistan include PTA-approved, non-approved, and patched units — prices differ sharply between them. Send the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying. How to check PTA approval.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Built-in S Pen with Bluetooth air gestures — still unmatched for note-taking and signing documents
• Versatile triple camera with 3x hybrid zoom and 8K video
• IP68 rating and wireless charging at used-phone prices
• Samsung DeX desktop mode for productivity

Limitations:

• Discontinued — no official warranty, no further software updates
• 60Hz display while 120Hz is standard even on budget phones now
• No microSD slot on the base model
• Battery health on used units is a lottery without verification

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: professionals and students who want a genuine S Pen experience for notes, sketches, and document markup at a fraction of the original flagship price — and anyone who values DeX and wireless charging in a used phone.

Look elsewhere if: you need current security updates, a high-refresh display for gaming, or a phone you can buy brand-new with official warranty — in that case browse the Samsung collection or all mobiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 price in Pakistan?

It is discontinued, so there is no official price. Used units are advertised around Rs. 52,000 (Lahore classified, verified 2026-10-11); condition and PTA status move the price. Confirm with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.

Does the Note 20 sold in Pakistan support 5G?

No. The Pakistan variant is the 4G/LTE model. 5G variants exist in other markets but were not officially sold here.

What can the S Pen do on the Note 20?

The built-in Bluetooth S Pen supports air gestures (camera shutter, presentation control), handwriting-to-text conversion, and pressure-sensitive drawing — the core reason buyers still seek out the Note series.

Is the processor Exynos or Snapdragon in Pakistan?

The Pakistan variant uses the Exynos 990 (7nm+). Snapdragon variants were sold in markets like the US.

Does it have a microSD card slot?

No. The base Note 20 has 256GB fixed storage with no expansion slot. The Note 20 Ultra is the one with microSD support.

Is the 60Hz display a problem?

For reading, notes, and video it is fine. Gamers and anyone used to 120Hz phones will notice the difference in scrolling smoothness.

Will it still get software updates?

No — it completed Samsung's update commitment (up to Android 13) and is past its security-patch window.

What should I check before buying a used Note 20?

PTA status via 8484, battery drain behaviour, all three cameras, S Pen pairing and gestures, under-display fingerprint, and the back panel for plastic-panel wear.

Final Verdict

The Galaxy Note 20 in 2026 is a specialist's used buy: you are paying for the S Pen, the camera system, and flagship build at a used-phone price. Its weaknesses — 60Hz display, expired updates, used-battery uncertainty — are real, so buy only after a hands-on check and PTA verification. For the right buyer (note-takers, document-heavy professionals), it remains one of the most distinctive phones money can buy at this price.
