While the Note 20 displays a 6.7 inch flat FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus screen, the 20 Ultra spots a 6.9 inch edge Quad HD+ Dynamic display screen, each coming with a special stylus pen.

The two 5G phones have been designed with “juiced-up cameras and some features better suited for the boardroom than the living room”.

“The Note line has always stood for software and specs that went above and beyond. While many of the features and updates, like new S Pen gestures tuned to operating PowerPoint presentations. It is designed for the post-COVID-19 era,” reports said.

It said that is not to say that the Note 20 and 20 Ultra won’t have a place in the who’s who list of 2020 phones, though it’s too soon to know.

Coming with a thick three-camera bump on the back staring out like a set of compound eyes, the Note 20 is priced at $1,000 (GHC5,770), while the 20 Ultra goes for  at $1,300 (GHC7,500).

Meanwhile, CNET.com reports that the pricing took the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the world and priced the very powerful handsets just $50 above that of the Note 10 released a year before.

Even though the handsets are said to have been prices relatively low, considering the features they comes with, the prices are still at levels that would need to be adjusted downwards to suit patrons in developing markets like Ghana.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration.

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
