The Samsung Galaxy S20 launch event will be on February 11, a fact we know is official because Samsung itself sent out official invites<\/a> to its next big Unpacked keynote.<\/p>\n We’re expecting three smartphones, consisting of the main Samsung Galaxy S20 and a top-end S20 Ultra, and also the Galaxy S20 Plus<\/a>, the latter of which we’ve given an individual page because there’s so much there to cover. We refer to all three phones on this page, though, and it may be that all of them are set to be 5G phones<\/a>. We know that because the next-in-line chipset, the Snapdragon 865<\/a>, makes including a 5G modem mandatory.<\/p>\n Originally, we expected this phone to be called the Galaxy S11 but most rumors are now pointing toward<\/a> the company skipping S11 through S19 to go straight to S20.<\/p>\n There are also features we can work out might come to the Galaxy S11 or S20, from perks we expected but didn’t see in the Samsung Galaxy S10<\/a> to aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10<\/a>, Samsung Galaxy A80<\/a>, Galaxy S10 Lite<\/a> and Galaxy Fold<\/a> that would work well in a new Galaxy S flagship.<\/p>\n Inspired by all these phones, we’ve also drawn up a list of the things we’d like to see in the Samsung Galaxy S20, or whatever the next Galaxy S phone ends up being called. We’ve also done a separate guide for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n It may be introduced alongside the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2<\/a>, or Galaxy Bloom, or Galaxy Z Flip, as various different leaks have suggested Samsung’s new foldable phone will be called.<\/p>\n Here’s everything that we’ve heard about the Samsung Galaxy S20 so far, including the plenty of leaks we’ve seen.<\/p>\n Update: <\/strong>We’ve heard the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, the most premium of the range, could have a <\/em>stainless steel frame<\/em><\/a> instead of the usual aluminium.<\/em><\/p>\n The Samsung Galaxy S11 launch date is locked in for Tuesday, February 11 in San Francisco. That’s the same month and city venue as 2019’s trio of Galaxy phones.<\/p>\n That means we could see the Galaxy S11 phones in stores the first week of March. For context, the Galaxy S10 release date was March 8, though this year’s launch event is nine days sooner than last year’s, so things may shift a bit.<\/p>\n Samsung’s Galaxy launch invite that was sent to TechRadar<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Galaxy S11 price could be the same as the S10 at $899 \/ £799 \/ AU$1,349 for its cheapest storage size, and all the way up to $1,149 \/ £999 \/ AU$1,699.<\/p>\n There’s always a chance Samsung could price the Galaxy S11 to be more expensive though, indeed one leak<\/a> suggests it might be a little more, with prices in euros rumored to start at €900-1,000 for the 5G version, with the 4G model apparently likely to start at around €100 euros less than that.<\/p>\n The price in dollars is likely to be similar, with the price in pounds probably set to be slightly lower than that. Note however that with rumors of a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra at the top of the range, the base S11 \/ S20 is likely to essentially be the S11e in all but name, making these prices high if accurate.<\/p>\n Accompanying the launch of the Galaxy S11 might be new premium wireless earbuds to rival the Apple AirPods Pro<\/a> called the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus<\/a>. Given the original Galaxy Buds<\/a> were introduced alongside the Galaxy S10, it makes sense that the new ones would come out with the next Samsung flagship.<\/p>\n While the Samsung Galaxy S11 is the most obvious name for Samsung’s next flagship, coming as it does after the Samsung Galaxy S10, it’s not the only possible one, with Samsung Galaxy S20 having also been rumored<\/a>. This is reportedly done because the handset will come out in 2020, and Samsung wants the phone names to match with the years.<\/p>\n Specifically, according to few sources including a reliable leaker<\/a> and possibly the Samsung CEO himself<\/a>, we could get a Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, instead of the S11e, S11 and S11 Plus as we’ve been reporting on.<\/p>\n There’s also no mention of a 5G model, though this is no surprise, as it’s likely Samsung would include 5G in the standard models, much as it did with the 5G version of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, rather than making a unique 5G handset, as it did with the Galaxy S10 5G.<\/p>\n How about this for a rumor though: could the Galaxy S line be discontinued, and the Galaxy S11 never see the light of day? That’s what one source suggests, that the S11 and Galaxy Note 11 will merge to create the Galaxy One<\/u><\/a>, a new series that combines all Samsung’s premium features into one smartphone.<\/p>\n Sure, we’ve heard that before about Samsung phones and it turned out to be wrong, but given the similarities between both ranges, it’s not something we can totally rule out.<\/p>\n We’ve seen plenty of leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S11 or S20 series, and while there are variations between lots of them, they all are clearly variations on the same idea. You can see some here<\/u><\/a>, others here<\/u><\/a>, and even more here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n Nearly all renders point to the rear cameras being housed in a large bump in the top left of the back of the phone. The exact layout of them is unclear though, with some renders showing them in an organised row and others pointing to a more messy splattering.<\/p>\n Hands-on images of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus<\/a>, as it’s called in the leak, make us think that the lenses and flash will be arranged in two rows in the camera bump, as that’s what the pictures show. The chin under the display looks worryingly thick though.<\/p>\n We’ve also seen renders of cases<\/u><\/a> and images of a screen protector<\/u><\/a> that back up these ideas.<\/p>\n A later leak<\/u><\/a> with another screen cover reference model suggests the device will have thin bezels, though the leaker noted that the ‘S11’s “forehead” and “chin” are very optimistic’, suggesting they could be thicker than the reference expects.<\/p>\n We’ve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy S11 could move the punch-hole camera<\/u><\/a> to the top center of the screen, similar to the Galaxy Note 10 range, as we’ve since seen in leaked images. The source adds that the camera would be smaller than on the Note 10 range though. You can see how this might look in the images above and the one below.<\/p>\n The most enduring size rumor suggests<\/u><\/a> 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 pretty sizeable increase on the previous generation.<\/p>\n In terms of materials, we’d expect the front and back to be Corning Gorilla Glass as most phones use, but while premium devices typically have an aluminium frame between, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra could have a top-end stainless steel frame<\/a>. Currently only top-end iPhones and certain other handsets use this pricey and heavy material in their builds, so if true this shows the S20 Ultra is set to redefine ‘premium’ smartphone design.<\/p>\n As for the rest of the design, one thing we’ve heard<\/u><\/a> 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 colors to expect the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus in though.<\/p>\n These displays might have a 120Hz refresh rate<\/u><\/a>, offering smoother interactions than the 60Hz found on the S10 range. That theory is mostly based on a 120Hz mode being spotted in a beta for Samsung’s smartphone software. There’s no guarantee the feature will arrive on the Galaxy S11 range, but it seems a likely candidate, especially as a source has now said as much<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n A huge phone leak<\/a> backed up the Galaxy S20 refresh rate and screen size rumors, adding the resolution of each would be 3200 x 1440. That would make the smallest device have technically the best pixel-per-inch count.<\/p>\n The S11 could also use a new screen tech, as Samsung has trademarked the name SAMOLED<\/u><\/a>, which sounds like a new take on the AMOLED screens used by its phones, though we don’t know how SAMOLED would differ.<\/p>\n We’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S11 (or S20 Plus, but maybe not the ‘Lite’ S20 model) to come with a brand new 108MP sensor, as we’ve heard not one<\/a> but two<\/a> leaks suggesting that. This 108MP sensor used will apparently combine nine pixels into one<\/a>, for 12MP shots that can take in a lot of light.<\/p>\n One source has pointed to a 5x optical zoom lens<\/a> on the smartphone too, which we’ve heard could be 48MP<\/a>, the most high-res sensor we’ve seen paired with a zoom lens so far.<\/p>\n We haven’t heard much about other lenses but we’d expect an ultra-wide angle lens as well as possibly a depth sensor and maybe even a macro lens, as the recent Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite<\/a> introduced the series’ first.<\/p>\n We’ve seen how the camera arrangement on the Galaxy S11 Plus (or Galaxy S20 Ultra) might look<\/a>, and you can see this below. A more recent rumor from the same source<\/a> suggests there will be a four-camera array on the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11 Plus (or S20 Plus and S20 Ultra)<\/p>\n Esteemed leaker IceUniverse previously claimed it would be a five camera setup, but says this new information is from a more recent prototype so they believe this to be the accurate details. That matches up with one of the most recent renders<\/u><\/a> we’ve seen leaked, but so many different renders have leaked that we’ve no concrete idea at what the rear array will look like.<\/p>\n\n
