Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra may support Microsoft xCloud cloud gaming service
Seoul [South Korea], July 22 (ANI): The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will be optimised to stream Xbox games via xCloud, as per a report.
According to Mashable, as per a report by WinFuture, both Samsung and Microsoft have further strengthened their relationship after their initial tie-up for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series last year.

The report also detailed on some other specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, some notable features being - a 120Hz display, 108MP camera, Corning Gorilla Glass 7, and an S-Pen with improved functionality.
The mainstay of the Samsung Galaxy Note series --the S-Pen, is now getting better with a reported latency of 9ms. In terms of new features, the S-Pen can now also be used as an on-screen pointer.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra will be launched at the Samsung Unpacked event on August 5 where the other devices --Samsung Galaxy Note 20, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, the Samsung Galaxy Live TWS, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 are also expected to be seen.
