So far, we have all been calling Samsung’s upcoming 2020 flagship Galaxy series as Galaxy S11. However, according to a new report, the newest smartphone lineup from the smartphone manufacturer is skipping ahead in years to arrive at the Galaxy S20 series. This has yet to be announced officially but jumps in numeric naming are not unheard of in the industry.

The report has yet to be confirmed but also offers some interesting insight about Samsung’s latest premium grade smartphone lineup. Reportedly, the South Korean tech giant will launch 3 variants with there not being a Galaxy S20e but rather a Galaxy S20; followed by Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra. This is quite similar to Apple’s decision on not launching an iPhone 11R but having the entry level start with iPhone 11 and offered a Pro and Max Pro variant.

Furthermore, the information gathered from a Twitter leak also arrived with a few minor details alongside it. Samsung Galaxy S20 will feature a 6.2 inch display while the Galaxy S20+ will arrive with a 6.7 inch display. The Galaxy S20 Ultra, on the other hand, arrives with a large 6.9 inch display. This makes it clear that the three smartphones are large in size and are likely to feature minimal bezels on every side.

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series arrived in 4 variants with the S10e, S10, S10+ and a 5G variant; not including the speculated upcoming Galaxy S10 Lite. However, 5G is going to be an integral part of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC, so each model will arrive with the faster bandwidth compatibility.

According to a new report, Samsung is apparently looking into an early release of its Samsung Galaxy S11 series. Initially, there were many rumors regarding the release date being around the third week of February or even the 18th of February. However, it seems that 11th February is the date of the launch, according to an Israeli website.

The South Korean tech giant is reportedly planning on holding the launch event in San Francisco, USA. It was also where the last year’s flagship series, the Galaxy S10, was unveiled. Galaxy S11 being launched in early February also allows the company to enjoy the attention to its premium handset before the arrival of MWC 2020; a conference where various OEMs showcase what their latest and upcoming products have to offer.

The extra time could lead to a healthy sales number globally and give the company some time to consider revealing other interesting devices during MWC. Notably, the Samsung Galaxy S11 will not be alone during the Unpacked event. The report has also suggested that the flagship series will share the stage with the Galaxy Fold 2. Again, similar to how the Galaxy S10 arrived with the Galaxy Fold earlier this year.

Unfortunately, these are just speculations and rumors so take them with a pinch of salt. However, if educated guesses can be made after seeing the company’s track records; it is still quite possible that Samsung might have an early flagship launch with the latest Galaxy Fold series.

The post Samsung Galaxy S11 and Galaxy Fold Rumored to Launch on 11th February 2020 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today (16th December 2019), Samsung‘s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S11 series, had its camera setup and design revealed through renders. Now, it is reported that the Galaxy S11+, the larger variant in the series, will be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery made by LG.

The Galaxy S11 series is likely to feature improvements across the board in comparison to its predecessor, the Galaxy S10 series. This holds true in performance with new processors, photography with new sensors and even battery life with better power optimizations and battery capacity.

According to a new report, the South Korean tech giant’s upcoming flagship series will not just offer better battery life with the use of its new generation AMOLED technology but offer bigger battery capacity as well. The Galaxy S11 is said to be equipped with either the Note 10+ battery of 4,300mAh or Galaxy A71‘s 4,500mAh battery; a notable increase over the Galaxy S10.

On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy S11e is expected to arrive with a 3.730mAh battery over the 3,100mAh battery featured on the Galaxy S10e. And for the Galaxy S11+, the device may arrive with a battery capacity close to 5,000mAh, similar to the Galaxy M30. The reasons for such power boosts points towards a few demanding upgrades on the series.

The upcoming S11 lineup is likely to feature a higher refresh rate like 120Hz and arrive in 5G versions. Both features draw a considerable amount of power on their own and might drag the device behind in battery backup. According to industry sources, the large 5,000mAh battery is reported to be supplied by LG, a fellow South Korean electronics company. Notably, LG is also the world’s largest lithium-ion battery producer by capacity, so it is likely to be Samsung’s supplier.

Samsung has achieved this new significant surge in battery capacities by using a custom PMP packaging method. This method allows for the cells to have drastically reduced wrapping sizes allowing for either smaller packs with the same capacity or more power in the same battery size as older generations. Additionally, the supplier that is providing Samsung with the PMP module will also be supplying Apple. Thus, we can also expect the Cupertino-based giant to offer high resolution displays and more with 2020 iPhones.

Samsung‘s upcoming entry in its flagship Galaxy series had its renders leaked recently. It showcased a unique design that had never been seen before in a Samsung smartphone. However, since no official announcement has been made the accuracy of the leak still comes into question. But, a new report has just surfaced that reveals a case for the Galaxy S11+ which matches with the previously leaked design.

According to new images found online, the case for the Samsung Galaxy S11+ can clearly be seen as having a distinct cutout for the penta camera module. It is in line with the previous design leak with the device having a rather large camera module which can be observed on the top left corner. On the front, a single center punch-hole selfie camera can be found.

Reportedly, the main camera of the Samsung Galaxy S11+ is a 108-megapixel shooter which is accompanied by a 48MP secondary camera, a ToF lens, a wide-angle camera, and a Bright Night sensor. It is said to support 10x optical zoom and up to 100x hybrid zoom. Under the hood, it is speculated that the handset will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or Samsung’s Exynos 990 for its different regional variants. Furthermore, it is reportedly powered by a 4,900mAh battery and will be priced around 999 USD or roughly 7016 CNY.

However, since no official confirmation has yet to be made. It is also advised to take this report with a grain of salt too. Although, the leakster that showcased the original renders is a veteran and has yet to be proven entirely inaccurate. So, we will have to wait and see what’s in store for us from the South Korean firm.

The post Samsung Galaxy S11+ Case confirms previously Leaked Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Galaxy S11 Plus is the latest Samsung device to leak in recent weeks. It comes after leaks of the Galaxy S11e and Galaxy S11, both of which leaked last week. And just like the previous ones, this is also from Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) in partnership with CashKaro.

The renders are based on CAD drawings and they show that Samsung will once again adopt the Galaxy Note10’s display design for the Galaxy S11 Plus. The curved display is reported to be a Dynamic AMOLED panel with a size of about 6.9-inches.

On the rear, the Galaxy S11 Plus has the same design we saw on its siblings but takes it up a notch. The design is the same black-housing-huge-bump but the main difference is the size. It is bigger now, much bigger, as a result of the sensors it houses which are actually five this time, two more than that of the Galaxy S10 Plus.

There are rumors that one of the sensors is Samsung’s 108MP sensor which we already know is quite big and takes up space. Samsung has trademarked some camera-related words that are speculated to be names of camera features for its upcoming flagships, so we are not surprised at the number of sensors this beast of a phone packs.

The Galaxy S11 Plus has a USB Type-C port at the bottom flanked on the right by a grille for the speaker and on the left by the primary microphone. Another microphone sits at the top while the right side of the phone is home to the volume and power buttons. Unfortunately, the audio jack is now gone after 10 years.

The phone’s dimensions are given as 166.9 x 76 x 8.8 millimeters (10.2 millimeters including the camera bump).

Samsung’s Galaxy S11 Plus should arrive with either the Exynos 990 processor or Snapdragon 865 depending on the market. Its display is expected to have a 120Hz refresh rate, a feature that will be the trend for next year’s flagship phones. We also expect it to pack quite a big battery to power its huge display with support for wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
