Images, renders and videos of upcoming smartphones are continually leaking.
All of these leaks are often difficult to follow, so we’ve compiled a list of this past week’s hottest rumours. This week, we’re taking a look at smartphone leaks that occurred from May 16th to May 22nd.
Samsung
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series is expected to launch with a 6.7-inch screen and a front-facing hole-punch camera. The handset will also reportedly feature an S20-like design with an S-Pen and a rear-facing camera module like the S20+.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will reportedly launch online instead of at an in-person New York City keynote. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it makes sense for the event to be online-only. Samsung’s launch events are typically attended by more than 3,000 people from around the world.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is rumoured to lack the S20 Ultra’s ‘100x Space Zoom.’ However, the Note 20+ will reportedly feature zoom that’s more significant than its smaller Note 20 counterpart.

The Google Pixel 4a is tipped to lack ‘Active Edge,’ which means users will not be able to squeeze the sides of the handset to active specific features.
Can confirm that Active Edge is not available on @julio_lusson's Pixel 4a.
Not a huge loss especially since Google is adding a new double tap gesture that doesn't require special hardware: https://t.co/kFiL8qmzxA https://t.co/IA6qqLJnG9
