Among the Samsung Galaxy S20<\/a> line of phones, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is expected to be the larger-sized version that may boast higher specs, a bigger battery, and possibly even more features. We’ll find out for sure on the February 11 launch date, which we know thanks to Samsung’s official invites<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n This could land as the Galaxy S20 Plus even though we originally expected it to be called the Galaxy S11 Plus. Rumors suggest Samsung is skipping<\/u><\/a> S11-S19 for the round S20 in order to align the nomenclature with the year 2020. Cute.<\/p>\n What we’ve heard so far comes from leaks and speculation – like suspecting the S11 Plus will be a 5G phone<\/u><\/a>. That’s because the next flagship chipset in line, the Snapdragon 865, requires a 5G modem installed on the device – but to save costs, we could also see a 4G model.<\/p>\n There’s a greater question of what role the S20 Plus plays though, now that the S20 Ultra is rumored to sit above it as the maximum-spec’d model in the S20 line.<\/p>\n It could just be a larger S20, but given that Samsung typically follows Apple’s lead in phone lineups, we could see the standard S20 become the new affordable flagship, in a similar way to the iPhone 11<\/a>. That would be in place of an S20e, so in that case the S20 Plus could be a ‘standard’ spec’d version, a larger version, or both. <\/p>\n We’ve also heard that Samsung might be upping the display refresh rate to 120Hz paired with a 1080p screen, with the option to push it back down to 60Hz for a QHD+ resolution. <\/p>\n Most other rumors refer to either the S20 or the rumored full-spec’d S20 Ultra, so we’ve referenced those that could potentially apply to the S20 Plus, too. Below then you’ll find what little we know for sure along with the many leaks and rumors that we’ve heard, which together start to paint a picture of the Samsung Galaxy S20 or S11 Plus.<\/p>\n The Samsung Galaxy S11 or S20 range is set to be announced on Tuesday, February 11 in San Francisco.<\/p>\n Based on past form, that means we could see the Galaxy S11 phones in stores the first week of March. That said, while the Galaxy S10<\/a> release date was March 8, this year’s launch event is nine days sooner than last year’s, so it’s possible the S11 Plus will hit stores at the very beginning of March.<\/p>\n Samsung’s Galaxy launch invite that was sent to TechRadar<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Galaxy S11 Plus price could be the same as the S10 Plus<\/a>‘s was at launch. That phone was $999 \/ £899 \/ AU$1,499 at launch for its cheapest storage size, rising to $1,599 \/ £1,399 \/ AU$2,399 for the largest 1TB\/12GB version.<\/p>\n There’s always a chance Samsung could price the Galaxy S11 Plus to be even more expensive – either because of its increased specs or for the inclusion of 5G, especially given the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G’s starting price was $1,299 \/ £1,099\/ AU$1,850. However, we won’t know for sure until Samsung officially launches the S11 Plus.<\/p>\n But the initial price leak<\/a> we’ve seen pegs the starting price at €1,099 (around $1,215 \/ £926 \/ AU$1,775). That’s for the Galaxy S20 Plus 5G – we haven’t heard whether there might be a lower-priced 4G model.<\/p>\n The Galaxy S11 Plus could launch along with new premium wireless earbuds designed to rival the Apple AirPods Pro<\/a>. These are rumored to be called the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n Given the original AirPods-rivaling Galaxy Buds<\/a> were released alongside the Galaxy S10, it would make sense for the new model to launch with the S11 range.<\/p>\n While it makes sense that the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus would be the next numbering in the line after the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, we could see it leap ahead, with rumors calling it the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since the handset will come out in 2020, we’ve heard Samsung might want the phone names to match the release year, for this model and those thereafter.<\/p>\n Specifically, according to few sources including a reliable leaker<\/a> and potentially even the Samsung CEO himself<\/a>, the whole line could be branded as the Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, instead of (respectively) the S11e, S11 and S11 Plus we’ve been assuming.<\/p>\n Until we know for sure, we’ll still mostly refer to this device as the Galaxy S11 Plus, but that will change if we get official word from Samsung that the new devices will be the S20 series. Confusing, but necessary.<\/p>\n We haven’t heard much mention of a distinct 5G model in the lineup, though this isn’t much of a surprise given how likely it is that Samsung will include 5G in each of the standard models. This would follow what the phone-maker did with the 5G version of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus<\/a>, as opposed to crafting a unique 5G handset, as it did with the Galaxy S10 5G<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a last naming rumor, we’ve heard the Galaxy S line could be discontinued: one source suggests that the S11 and Galaxy Note 11 will merge to create the Galaxy One<\/u><\/a>, a new series that would combine all of Samsung’s premium features into one smartphone line. While that’s still a moonshot rumor, it would be unwise not to even consider it.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most important leaks are the ones showing us how these new Samsung flagships could look, and we’ve seen leaks of the entire lineup.<\/p>\n In fact, we’ve seen several leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S11 range, and while the designs vary, there are a lot of similarities. Check out some here<\/u><\/a>, others here<\/u><\/a>, and even more here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n Just about every render we’ve seen shows the rear cameras as being in a large bump at the top left of the back of the phone. How they’re laid out is less certain though, with some of the renders showing them in a single neat row while others point to a more haphazard arrangement, but some allegedly real images suggest something different to either of those options.<\/p>\n Hands-on images of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus<\/a>, as it’s called in the leak, show the lenses and flash laid out in two vertical rows within the camera bump, domino-style. <\/p>\n We’ve also heard that the S11 Plus could have a punch-hole camera in the top-center of the display<\/a>, similar to where it is in the Galaxy Note 10 range, which we’ve seen in leaked images. The source adds that the camera would be smaller than on the Note 10 range though, which lines up with leaked images that show a noticeably smaller punch-hole. <\/p>\n The most prevalent sizing rumor<\/u><\/a> implies that the Samsung Galaxy S20 (which could launch as the lowest-cost model instead of the S11e) will have a 6.2-inch screen, while the S20 Plus (or S11 Plus) will have a 6.7-inch display, and the S20 Ultra will have a 6.9-inch screen. That’s a noticeable size increase over the previous generation’s screens.<\/p>\n A remarkably complete spec leak<\/a>, shown below, echoes those sizes, adding that the S20 Plus will have a 1440 x 3200 20:9 screen with 525 pixels per inch, and that the body of the phone will be IP68 certified and come in at 162 x 74 x 7.8mm and 188g.<\/p>\n As for the rest of the design, one rumor we’ve heard<\/u><\/a> is that the standard Galaxy S11 might come in blue, grey and black colors, while the cheaper Samsung Galaxy S11e might come in more playful blue, grey and pink shades. Another leak<\/a> suggests official colors: Cosmic Black, Cosmic Grey, and Cloud Blue.<\/p>\n That’s a lot like how Apple has split hues on its iPhones between more restrained colors in the ‘Pro’ models and fun, vibrant hues for the less expensive version. The source doesn’t say which colors to expect for the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus (or Ultra), but we wouldn’t be surprised by a premium color for the premium version.<\/p>\n The screen meanwhile could feature a maximum 120Hz refresh rate<\/u><\/a>, offering smoother interactions than the 60Hz offered by the S10 range. A 120Hz mode was allegedly spotted in a beta for Samsung’s smartphone software, an assertion supported by another source<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
