The Galaxy Note 20+ has popped up in the online benchmark Geekbench for the first time, proving that Samsung has pushed the device deep into development. The phone carries model number SM-N986U, which should correspond with the 5G variant given that the Note 10+ 5G is known as the SM-N976U. The motherboard is codenamed ‘Kona,’ which means that the Galaxy Note 20+ 5G is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chipset – same as the Galaxy S20 series in regions where it doesn’t employ the in-house Exynos solution instead.
Other details revealed by the benchmark include 8GB of RAM, which is a bit odd given that the Galaxy S20 5G has 12GB of RAM as standard. But keep in mind that this may be an early prototype model, so certain specs like RAM could change by the time the phone will be ready for the market. As expected, the Galaxy Note 20+ would Android 10 out of the box, and it should be Samsung’s first smartphone to ship with One UI 2.5 as well. Benchmark scores suggest that the Galaxy Note 20+ tackles both the single-core and multi-core tests with more success when compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. Samsung Galaxy Note 20+ receives 985 scores in the single-core test, while 3220 scores in the multi-core test.
