Samsung launches new Galaxy Note 20 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 5G colors

Samsung is bringing a few snazzy new colors to some of its most popular devices. Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G are getting new colors for the holiday season.

The Galaxy Note 20 will now be available in a new Mystic Red color, which joins the current lineup of Mystic Bronze, Mystic Green, and Mystic Gray. The Galaxy Z Flip 5G, on the other hand, will now be available in Mystic White, which joins the Mystic Bronze and Mystic Gray color options currently available.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G is the more consumer-friendly model in the Note line, slotting below the Note 20 Ultra in price thanks to a few cutbacks to its hardware. The device offers an impressively large 6.7-inch display with a hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera. On the back, there’s a triple-lens camera, with one 12-megapixel main sensor, a 64MP sensor with telephoto lens, and a 12MP sensor with an ultrawide lens. Under the hood, the phone offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ processor, with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage, making it one of the more powerful phones on the market.

Although it’s cheaper than the Note 20 Ultra, it

still comes in at $1,000

— however, with trade-ins, you can get it for as little as $450, plus you could get a $100 Samsung gift card.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G is a little more interesting. The phone is a clamshell-style foldable phone, and it also has a 6.7-inch display, however, it’s a little taller and skinnier than on the Galaxy Note 20. On the back, you’ll get a dual-sensor camera, with a 12-megapixel wide lens and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens. Under the hood, you’ll find the same specs as the Galaxy Note 20, except there’s no option for 128GB of storage — only 256GB. The phone normally costs $1,300, but with an eligible trade-in, you can get up to $1,000 off, bringing the cost to only $300 in total. That’s an impressive price, though you’ll have to trade in a modern phone to get that.

The new colors are available in relatively limited quantities, according to Samsung, so

you’ll need to act quickly if you’re interested

. Maybe a new color is just what you needed to make that upgrade.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 sets a new record for budget Android phones
Galaxy A16 banner Samsung

We've known that Samsung's next lineup of budget phones was on the way, especially after all of the information that leaked last week. Now, we have confirmation on several elements of the phone, but the most important of them all is the incredible (and unheard of) six years of security patches the Galaxy A16 5G will receive from launch. That means it will be fully up to date until October 31, 2030.

We reported on this possibility a couple of weeks ago, but now it's confirmed — and that's a big deal. Many budget phones only receive two years of security patches post-launch. The Galaxy A16 5G's six years of support puts it only one year behind Samsung's flagship models in the Galaxy S24 series. For a phone as cheap as the Galaxy A16, that's incredible.

I still don’t have 5G at home, and the reasons why amazed me
4G reception bars on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

As I write these words, seated in my home office, my phone has one single bar of 4G reception. If I go to a different room, I may see two bars.

I have repeatedly wondered why I do not have 5G reception at home. Considering it's nearing the end of 2024, it's a not unreasonable request given 5G launched here in the U.K. in mid-2019. I decided to find out what was going on. What I discovered was a mix of expected, and highly unexpected, reasons why 5G continues to not be available near me.
Do I live in the woods?

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is expected to launch in India at the end of September. TheTechOutlook first reported the leak, sharing an interesting tidbit of information: The A16 5G will get six years of guaranteed software updates.

Samsung started offering seven years of updates with the launch of the Galaxy S24 (a much more expensive device) earlier this year, a stark upgrade from the four years of updates offered with the S23.
