Verizon Galaxy Note 20 latest update adds new camera features

At this point, if you've been following our news feed, you already know that Verizon is on a crusade to update all Samsung flagships, new and old, with a few camera features. Up until now, the Big Red managed to update the entire Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

It makes sense that for the Galaxy Note 20 series to be the next on the list, although it's a bit strange that this wasn't among the first to get these new camera features since it's a new flagship. In any case, if you're rocking a Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra 5G as your daily driver, here is what you'll get in this update:

Pro Mode – Ultra Wide

Ultra-wide lens is now available in Pro and Pro Video camera modes.

Portrait – Mono/Backdrop Effects

Change the background for Portrait shots using the new High-Key Mono, Low-Key Mono, and Backdrop effects.

Auto Night Mode

Photo, Portrait, and Hyperlapse camera modes now automatically detect low light conditions and turn on the Night mode for optimal quality.

Although this is a staged rollout, it's shouldn't take more than a few days for Verizon to make the update available to all Galaxy Note 20 series owners. So, tap Check for system updates and hope that a new update is available for download.

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
