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.

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.

It is raining Samsung leaks this week. Just two days ago, 3D renders of the Galaxy A71 were posted online and were followed by those of the Galaxy S11 yesterday. Today, we have 3D renders that give us an early look at the Galaxy S11e.

Once again, the source of the renders is @OnLeaks and he has partnered with Pricebaba this time. The Galaxy S11e will succeed the Galaxy S10e, and it too should be the most affordable version of the series.

The renders show that Samsung will adopt the same design for the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11e. So we are getting a punch-hole display similar to that of the Galaxy Note10. The punch-hole is not the only design change the Galaxy S11e will have. The phone will also get a curved display rather than a flat one like that of the S10e.

Samsung is also going with the same rear camera design as the Galaxy S11. However, rather than five cameras, there are three cameras, one more sensor than that of its predecessor, along with the LED flash inside the housing.

Also, the Galaxy S11e will ditch the side-mounted fingerprint scanner of the Galaxy S10e for an in-display sensor when it arrives next year.

The bottom of the phone is home to a USB Type-C port and it is flanked on the left by the primary microphone and on the right by the speaker grille. The right side of the device houses the volume and power buttons. OnLeaks says the device is missing a SIM tray slot in the renders because he’s not sure where it will be. However, based on the S10e, the SIM tray will most likely remain at the top.

The Galaxy S11e will have a display size between 6.2 and 6.3-inches. Its dimensions are given as 151.7 x 69.1 x 9.1 millimeters (adding the camera bump). The phone should also come with a Snapdragon 865 processor (or Samsung’s Exynos flagship SoC). There will be 6GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone is also expected to have a larger battery capacity (up to 4000mAh) and it should run OneUi 2.0 based on Android 10 out of the box.

Samsung is heavily pegged to unleash the Galaxy S11 series in February 2020. Rumors have it that the lineup comprises of Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11+ phones. Couple of new reports have revealed some important information on the launch date of the S11 series along with its display and camera details.

According to Matrix Life German publication, Samsung will be holding a launch event on Feb. 11 to announce the Galaxy S11 lineup. The S-series phones will hit the markets few weeks later in March. The report claims that that S-lineup will indeed include Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11+ phones.

The Galaxy S11 and S11+ will be featuring 120Hz refresh rate screens to raise the competition bar higher. As it has been revealed by the renders by @OnLeaks, the S11+ may feature a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole at the top-center position. Owners of the S11 and S11+ will have the power to lack the refresh rate at 120GHz or let it adjust automatically. Reputed tipster Evan Blass had recently revealed that the three phones of S11 series will have 6.4-inch (or 6.2-inch), 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes.

The publication has further revealed that the S11 series will be available in Snapdragon and Exynos CPU variants for different markets. Europe will get the Exynos 990 5G chipset powered S11 series. The S11 will be arriving in SIM and eSIM editions whereas the S11+ will carry support for 5G connectivity. The S11 series could be coming with 25W fast charging technology.

The Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11+ are both expected arrive with quadruple rear cameras. This information contradicts the renders that seem to show five cameras on the backside of S11. Matrix Life has stated that the setup will include a 108-megapixel primary lens, a telephoto lens of 48-megapixel with 10x loseless zoom and 100x hybrid zoom support. A recent patent filing by Samsung suggest that S11 series may offer OIS enabled 5x optical zoom feature.

The S11 and S11+ will also support 8K video recording at 30fps. These phones will also users with multi-camera preview feature that allow them to give a preview of the captured video through all four camera lenses and let user choose the desired one. Based on recent reports, the multi-camera preview technology could be made available as Director’s View feature.

In related news, Samsung has trademarked camera features like Single Take and Video Spin with European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The former may make it possible for S11 series to shoot a series of photos and video by panning around for 15 seconds. There is no word on what the Video Spin feature could be.
