Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S20 series of flagship phones through an unveil event on Feb. 11. Recently, Max Weinbach of XDA Developers had shared the live photos of the upcoming Galaxy S20+ 5G smartphone. Through another leak, he also shared the key specs of the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. A new report on the publication by Wienbach has the hands-on video of the Galaxy S20+ 5G handset. The report has also revealed key details of the smartphone.
Starting off with the display of the Galaxy S20+ (SM-G986U), it supports a max resolution of 1440 x 3220 pixels. It will offer a tall aspect ratio of 20:9. These details were through a benchmark test that was carried out on the phone. It did not reveal the exact size of the screen. However, it is speculated that the Galaxy S20+ will be equipped with a 6.7-inch display. The Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Ultra that are rumored to feature 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays are expected to support the same resolution and aspect ratio.
Some reports had claimed that Samsung will be replacing the ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner with an optical in-display fingerprint reader. The report has debunked the rumor and claimed that the S20+ will have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. An optical in-screen fingerprint reader requires the scanning area to brightly light up. However, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor does not such lighting. The same was observed on the S20+ through which it could be determined that it has an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. There is no confirmation on whether the device features the latest 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint reader by Qualcomm that can scan two fingers simultaneously.
The above shown screenshot reveals that the Galaxy S20+ has a toggle for 120Hz settings. The S20 series will be the first from the South Korean company to arrive with support for 120Hz refresh rate. The report claims that the 120Hz will be only available at full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels). It is said that the display will automatically change to 60Hz if the user switches to WQHD+ resolution.
The Galaxy S20+ 5G hands-on video reveals that it has a curved Infinity-O display. The rear shell of the device has a rectangle-shaped camera system housing four lenses and an LED flash. The handset does not feature a 3.5mm audio jack. It will come with AKG USB-C earbuds. The retail package of the device has a 25W fast charger. The same earbuds and charger were made available with the Galaxy Note 10. The following image compares the S10+ with S20+. It reveals that the S20+ is bigger than the S10+. Moreover, the S20 Ultra 5G will be a larger device than the S20+.
The other details that were revealed through benchmark tests show that the Galaxy S20+ has 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and it is powered by Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The device will come with 128 GB of native storage (could be UFS 3.0). It has a minimum rated battery of 4,370mAh which suggests that its typical capacity could be 4,500mAh. All the handsets in the S20 series will be equipped with eSIM support.
