When the coronavirus crisis began, everyone assumed that, due to the significant slowdown in the economy, people would not have enough funds for "uselessness". Of course, this also applies to the mobile market. According to estimates, the numbers Galaxy The S20 sold roughly 50% less than the series Galaxy S10. And since the coronavirus pandemic is still not on the wane in many countries, it cannot be expected that the sales of the new flagship, at least immediately after the launch, would be very general.

Of course, the South Korean company is aware of this, so it is said to be reducing orders for components for the Note 20 series. However, this is not an isolated case. i is reducing component orders for its new smartphones Apple, which may even postpone the introduction of new models by a few weeks due to the pandemic. However, similar unfortunate events do not concern Samsung, as it will show its new models on Galaxy Unpacked already on August 5. With the iPhone 12, however, one of Samsung's firsts will apparently become thinner. As Apple's new models are expected to support 5G, Samsung's share of 5G phone sales, which in the first quarter of this year was 94% in the US, will also decrease. The iPhone 12 will undoubtedly be a competitor to the Note 20 series in every way. Even now, however, it is expected that, despite the year 2020, it will arrive with a really "handsome" upper cutout in the display. However, given the four upcoming models, it is speculated that the "lower" series will be cheaper than the Note 20.
Samsung is not sold mainly because of the lousy Exynos 990 processor. The version with Snapdragon is far more economical and faster (despite the better photosensor), however, Samsung sold Europe only with the version with Exynos. The S10 series also has exynos in Europe, but the Exynos 9820 and 9825 did not fare nearly as badly as the Exynos 855 and snapdragon 990 compared to the Snapdragon 865.
In fact, the corona madness and the weakening of economies are primarily to blame. They are weakening sales across brands, and Exynos hasn't made much of a difference. Almost no one understands it, try asking people on the street if they know what kind of processor they have in their phone 😀 Only the more technically savvy community who discuss it on the net like the two of us here, for example, knows that. The rest look at the marketing gibberish and buy and have no idea that there is some Exynos and Snapdragon and Bionic A12 and I don't know what. But you are right that the S20 Exynos version is a mess and today there is also some information leak that the Note 20 will have an Exynos 990 in Europe while the US and Korean version will have an SD865+ !! that will make the difference even more profound and for me 100% reason not to go for the Note 20 even if I wanted to
