Track and Locate Lost Galaxy Note 20 Remotely

As you know, Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. The first thing you would notice in these new phones is their appearance; they look similar to Note 10. The Ultra is the most significant device. It has a 6.9″ edge Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The regular Note 20 has a 6.7″ flat FHD+ Super AMOLED+ screen. Both are pretty big phones, but that is what we expect from Galaxy Note devices. The Ultra has a curved display, whereas the Note 20 has a flat screen. I would personally prefer the flat panel. I would be happy if future devices come with a flat panel. In this guide, we will talk about how to track and locate lost Galaxy Note 20. If you lost it somewhere or it’s stolen, even if you just put it somewhere and can’t find it.

The Note 20 comes in 3 colors: Mystic Green, Mystic Bronze and Mystic Gray. Note 20 Ultra can be bought in Mystic Black, White, and Bronze. I am furious at Samsung for not releasing the Note 20 Ultra in Mystic Green, which is dope.

Samsung has worked hard on the cameras of the Note 20 series. The regular model has three cameras: a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle, a 12 MP wide-angle and a 64 MP Telephoto Camera. The Note 20 Ultra has two 12 MP cameras, a telephoto and an ultra-wide and a 108 MP Wide-Angle Camera. Along with that, it has a Laser AF sensor for autofocus. Regarding the software side, Samsung has introduced several new and cool camera features—namely Hyperlapse, Super Slow Motion, etc.

Two remote services can locate lost or stolen Samsung Galaxy phones. One is from Android, and the other one is from Samsung itself. We will go through both services to explore each feature in detail. I hope one of the services works out for you to find the lost Note 20.

How to use Android Find My Device to Locate Lost Note 20 Remotely:

Alright, so another service of Android that can be used to locate stolen or lost Android phones. It’s a service by Google/Android itself.

Suppose you fail to recover your phone and locate it. You are advised to erase the personal data present in it. So, no stranger can access your personal information, pictures, bank details, etc. It can be very critical if your phone is lost.
