The Note 20+ is most likely getting the Galaxy S20 Ultra camera, which should come as no surprise to anyone even remotely acquainted with Samsung’s flagship phone strategies. The second generation 108MP sensor used in the Ultra is unique in that it merges the light information from no less than 9 pixels into one big virtual for unprecedented amount of quality and detail.
Granted, other sensors, including Samsung’s own 64MP and 48MP units, do the so-called pixel-binning trick as well, but with four adjacent pixels in a Tetracell, not Nonacell format. The bad part, however, is that Samsung’s acclaimed Dual Pixel autofocus system that tags two opposite photodiodes to each and every pixel in a sensor for extremely fast and accurate focusing, has not been used with pixel-binning so far.
