New Samsung Galaxy Rumours
The last few weeks have seen many rumours of the Galaxy S11, and some suggest it may be called the Galaxy S20 instead; it seems that the best evidence yet that the company will in fact rename its flagship series has appeared.
According to Korean sources, Samsung’s CEO DJ Koh held secret meetings at CES 2020 he introduced the new series of phones as the Galaxy S20 family.
The report claims that Samsung wanted to rename its new series for the next decade (the 2020s) so decided to opt for the Galaxy S20 moniker over the S11 series.
SIZE & SUBSTANCE
The most enduring size rumour suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S20 (which could launch instead of the S11e) will have a 6.2-inch screen, the S20 Plus (or S11) will have a 6.7-inch one, and the S20 Ultra (S11 Plus) will have a 6.9-inch one. That’s a considerable size increase on the previous generation.
As for the rest of the design, one thing is that the standard Galaxy S11 might come in blue, grey and black shades, while the Samsung Galaxy S11e might come in blue, grey and pink. The source doesn’t say what colours to expect the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus in though.
Earlier this week, a leak suggested that all Samsung Galaxy S11 (or S20) devices will boast 12GB of RAM, including the range’s entry-level handset.
There have also been rumours that the South Korean electronics giant is saving its biggest advancements this year for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra – a new uber-flagship that’s expected to be a marked step-up from the Galaxy S20 Plus in terms of camera and hardware.
According to Max Weinbech of XDA Developers, the Galaxy S20 Ultra will offer a version with 16GB of RAM alongside the standard 12GB model, along with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB internal storage options. Interestingly, Max’s tweet about the new devices makes a point of noting that the handset will sport a microSD card slot with support for up to 1TB, suggesting that all S20 models below the S20 Ultra will drop expandable storage entirely.
As for the device’s camera, Weinbach claims the Galaxy S20 Ultra will boast a staggering 108MP main sensor, complemented by a 48MP sensor with 10x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. We imagine the fourth sensor in the device’s reported quad camera package will be of the time-of-flight (ToF) variety.
Additionally, users can expect fantastic battery life from the device, with the list noting a 5,000mAh battery (Samsung’s biggest to date) with 45W fast charging capability (0-100% charge in 74 minutes, according to Weinbach).
