    The base Note 20 model does not come with 5G – however, you can upgrade to a 5G version. While all models of Note 20 Ultra do support 5G.

    The Samsung Notes app on your Galaxy Note20 5G or Note20 Ultra 5G has a new feature that lets you import PDF documents. You can write on, draw on, and annotate your PDFs right from the app and then save them for future use.

    The Galaxy Note 20 and 20 Ultra both received an 8, indicating they can be submerged up to 4.92 feet (1.5 meters) in fresh water for up to 30 minutes and emerge unharmed. Samsung recommends to let it air dry if it gets wet to avoid any problems.
