As the Samsung Galaxy S11 gets ready for Q1 2020 launch, rumors regarding the device are overflowing the internet. The latest leak from reputed leakster Evan Blass claims that the Galaxy S11 series will be available in three variants with different display sizes. Other highlights include a curved-edge screen and 5G connectivity on all variants. Additionally, Samsung is likely to stick with its traditional mid-February launch date.

According to Blass, the Samsung Galaxy S11 will sport 6.4-inch, 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch curved displays. Samsung apparently has done away with the S10e-style flat panels. While the 6.9-inch variant will only support 5G, the remaining variants will continue to run on the 4G spectrum apart from offering 5G connectivity. Shown below is the early renders of the Galaxy S11 renders made by known tipster, Benjamin Geskin.

In another major revelation this week, XDA Developers has come across mentions of a 108-megapixel resolution mode in the Samsung Galaxy camera app. Hence, it is being speculated that the company may use its 108-megapixel camera sensor on the upcoming Galaxy S series of flagship phones.

Samsung has recently introduced a 108-megapixel camera sensor. Although the setup has only made its way to Xiaomi’s flagship range at the moment, Samsung is likely to introduce the high-resolution sensor on the Galaxy S11 with a few minor enhancements. 

Unlike Samsung’s current lenses that use large pixels to produce 12-megapixel images, the 108-megapixel sensor uses pixel-binning to combine multiple pixels into one high-resolution image. The downside of pixel-binning is greater noise and lower light sensitivity. Samsung overcame this problem with its new ISOCELL sensor that prevents light leakage into adjacent pixels to produce cleaner images.
