INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
We're not expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S11 release for a while since, if Samsung continues its yearly cycles for phone releases, it
features we didn't see in the Samsung Galaxy S10 that we were expecting, and there were aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Samsung
Galaxy A80 and Galaxy Fold that would work well in a new Galaxy S flagship.Inspired by all these phones, we've also drawn up a list of the
things we'd like to see in the Samsung Galaxy S11, or whatever the next Galaxy S phone ends up being (it could be the Galaxy S20, given that
phone companies seem to jump straight from 10 to 20 when numbering phones).You'll find that below, but first, here's everything that we've
heard about the Samsung Galaxy S11 so far.Latest news: A Samsung Galaxy S11 Lite could land alongside the S11 and S11 Plus
It's also looking ever more likely that the Samsung Galaxy S11 will have a camera with 5x optical zoom, and it might be announced on
February 18.Cut to the chaseWhat is it? The next Galaxy S smartphone from SamsungWhen is it out? Possibly February 18What will it cost?
Galaxy S10e and Galaxy S10 Plus in late February 2019
Since Samsung tends to release its phones in yearly cycles, we expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S11 release in February or March 2020.That
may mean we hear about it at MWC 2020, or it may be a touch earlier as one rumor suggests we might see it on February 18
It's quite early to hear about an actual launch date though, so we'd take that news with a big pinch of salt.The Galaxy S10 cost $899 /
version, and even more for more memory.Having said that, we're talking about the standard Galaxy S11 here, but a rumor suggests there might
be a Samsung Galaxy S11 Lite (if it doesn't launch earlier as the S10 Lite), in which case there might be a cheaper option for buyers who
don't have a grand to spend on a smartphone.Samsung Galaxy S11 design and displayWe haven't heard much about this aspect of the Galaxy S11
yet, but there's an outside chance that it will have two screens, as Samsung has patented a design (spotted by LetsGoDigital) with a
smaller second screen on the back of a phone, as you can see above.This would remove the need for a selfie camera, as the second screen
could be used to frame photos using the main camera
We doubt we'll see this design though - all sorts of things get patented and often don't get made.(Image credit: Samsung /
LetsGoDigital)Samsung Galaxy S11 cameraSamsung has announced new 48MP and 64MP camera sensors , so it's possible Samsung will use one of
them for the Galaxy S11.However, Samsung might go even further, as it has also now announced a 108MP sensor, one which has been specifically
rumored for inclusion in the Galaxy S11
The source of this rumor adds that the Samsung Galaxy S11 will apparently also have a lens with 5x optical zoom.A 5x optical zoom lens is
looking ever more likely, as another source has also pointed to one, but said that it won't be a 'normal' one, whatever that means.One thing
it might mean is that the lens is more flush with the back of the handset than most zoom lenses, as another source claims Samsung is working
on just such a lens - which is also yet more evidence that a zoom lens is in the works.Another leaks has stated that the main camera sensor
on the Galaxy S11 will be different to all previous Galaxy phones from the S7 to the S10
That doesn't necessarily mean it will be one of the above sensors, but it's very possible.One thing we might not get is an in-display
camera, as while the likes of Oppo and Xiaomi are already teasing the technology, a source suggests Samsung will wait for the tech to
"mature" first, and in the meantime will stick with punch-hole cameras - albeit ones of ever smaller sizes.Samsung Galaxy S11 specs and
featuresOn the topic of 'tech Samsung has announced': we know the company has created a 12GB Mobile DRAM, which lets the phone read memory
at a quicker rate, so that's an obvious candidate for the Galaxy S11.The Galaxy S11 might also be the first phone to have a tiny 5nm
chipset, according to Sina, which could see it outperform other handsets.Speaking of the chipset, one believed to be the Snapdragon 865 has
been benchmarked with scores that beat any other phone
It's likely that US versions of the Galaxy S11 will use this chip, so that's promising.A more unlikely feature that the S11 could pack
is a spectrometer, which could be used to determine the chemical composition of objects
Samsung has patented a phone-like device with just such a feature, so it's possible, but it sounds a bit far-fetched and niche.In other
news, it may be worth keeping an eye out for rumors and leaks regarding the 'Picasso' as that, according to leaker Ice Universe, is the
code-name Samsung is currently using internally for the Galaxy S11.We can also look to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 for some possible specs
The Galaxy S10 for example probably won't have a headphone port, since Samsung has ditched it for the latest Note
Similarly, it likely won't have a Bixby button.However, by freeing up space that would have been used for a headphone port, Samsung could
potentially make the battery bigger and/or the body thinner.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, a new series that combines all Samsung's premium features into one smartphone.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.Samsung
Galaxy 11: what we want to seeWhile early rumors have started to swirl, in reality there's still a long way to go before we see the
Samsung Galaxy S11, which is good news as it gives Samsung plenty of time to take our suggestions on board.So, listen up Samsung, here's
what we want to see from the Galaxy S11
Please don't let us down.1
telephoto lens for distance shots, and the 16MP third sensor with an ultra-wide lens.The three lenses are generally what we'd expect in a
smartphone camera, but the resolution of each is a lot lower than in many other phones.Handsets like the Honor 20 Pro have a 48MP main
snapper, which is a big step up from 12MP, and even affordable handsets sometimes now come with four lenses (the extra is usually a
time-of-flight or macro sensor for close-up shots), so to stay competitive in the smartphone camera game Samsung needs to up its game with
the Galaxy S11.The Honor 20 Pro's four cameras
Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinentWe've heard that Samsung is working on a 64MP smartphone camera that could be put in the Samsung Galaxy
but it may be the last of its kind.Newer Galaxy smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy A80 have ditched the headphone jack,
so it seems Samsung is following suit behind many other smartphone companies in getting rid of the physical headphone port.But since many,
many people still use non-Bluetooth earphones, it's a feature that we'd love to see return in future Samsung smartphones, especially given
it's one of the only high-end smartphone manufacturers to still be using them.3
Different front-facing camera arrangementThe Galaxy S10 was one of the first phones to have a 'punch-hole' front-facing camera, which means
the front snapper was in a cut-out section inside the screen, in the corner.The Galaxy S10 Plus' punch-hole camera
in practice the punch-hole takes just as much space, as there's a sliver of screen between the camera and the edge that just isn't
punch-hole in favor of a camera under the screen, but that could still be a few Galaxy S phones down the line.4

phone, and so far Samsung handsets have often seemed a little dull.The vibrant Samsung Galaxy S10e

Samsung Galaxy S11 to launch in a few different colors.The Galaxy S10 has a few colors that are only available in certain regions, like
yellow, green or red, but if Samsung made these designs available from the get-go in all regions, we'd appreciate the design a lot more.6
launches 5G will be available in many countries.However, the Galaxy S10 5G is even bigger than the Galaxy S10 Plus, and so is massive and
Currently there are no affordable 5G smartphones on the horizon, but Samsung could really get ahead of the curve if the Galaxy S11, or
Galaxy S11e, had a low price and ran on 5G networks.zPxBKrqxvkYuSA26vVwqp6.jpg?#
