Samsung Galaxy S11

If everything goes as before , for the month of February or March, coinciding with the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona, ​​Samsung should show its new high-end by 2020 which, if they maintain the current nomenclature, should be the Samsung Galaxy S11 . And this is precisely what concerns us today, since OnLeaks , one of the most reputable filters in the network known for its high success rate, has just published what, apparently, are the first renders of the Samsung Galaxy S11.

According to the images, the Samsung Galaxy S11 would pick up the witness of the Samsung Galaxy S10 in terms of form factor (see rounded corners), but would drink some elements of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the new Samsung Galaxy M30s . The first is obvious: the hole in the screen; of the second, the photographic module.

A mix of several Galaxy

Before starting to review what we see in the renders, it is worth noting that we are facing a leak and that, therefore, it is advisable to take the images with tweezers. While it is true that OnLeaks has a proven track record in terms of leaks (it showed the design of the iPhone 11 many months before its presentation), there are still about three or four months left for the Galaxy S11 to see the light and it is possible that There are changes.

That said, according to Onleaks renders, the Samsung Galaxy S11 would have dimensions of 161.9 x 73.7 x 7.8 mm , although the thickness would grow to 8.9 mm if we consider the module of the chamber, from which it follows that the module is 1.1 mm thick. The filter says that the back is made of glass and that the side frames would be finished in metal. On the sides we see the classic "Power" and volume buttons, but nothing of a button dedicated to Bixby, while at the bottom the device would mount a USB Type-C.

As for the screen, the renders show a 6.7-inch panel curved on the sides that would stretch to the corners thanks, in part, to the hole located in the upper central area . This is something we have already seen in other phones of the brand, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. Also in the Galaxy S10 and S10 +, although in these two cases the perforation was located in the upper right corner.

Samsung would continue to run away from the notch betting on a perforated screen

Nothing is known about its resolution, although the possibility that the panel has a refresh rate of 120 Hz is considered . In the last year we have seen some brands bet on this technology, such as Razer with the Razer Phone 2 (120 Hz) or OnePlus with the OnePlus 7 Pro and its two brothers "T", and Samsung, according to the leaker Ice Universe , also I would do it in its new high end. This follows from a screenshot of the One UI 2 beta, in which you can see an option to alternate between 60 and 120 Hz.

Two things stand out from the back. The first is the module for the camera , where we see four lenses next to the LED flash. It is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy M30s and, in a way, reminds of the modules of the iPhone 11 , iPhone 11 Pro or Google Pixel 4 XL . Thus, it can be anticipated that the Samsung Galaxy S11, and if the renders are correct, it would have five cameras in total.

Nothing is known for sure about technology and resolution, although recent illustrations suggest that it will have a 108 megapixel sensor, the Samsung ISOCELL HMX , which is the same as the Xiaomi Mi Note 10. The second thing is the fingerprint reader , which It is not there and that it is possible that, as in the Galaxy S10, it has been brought under the screen.

The hole is imposed, the module begins to become popular

If something reveal renderings of the Samsung Galaxy S11 it is that the perforated screen, next to the notch drop, is emerging as the short - term alternative to the notch that Apple introduced its iPhone X . There are few mobile phones that have chosen to pierce the panel to scratch inches of screen , and not only Samsung, but Huawei and Honor have also done it in terminals such as the Honor View20 or the Huawei Nova 5T . Some brands such as OPPO already work on introducing the front camera under the screen , and while the little we know about it is that they work, they seem to be still far from being a reality.

On the other hand, the inclusion of the photographic module is still interesting . It is not something we have seen only in the Pixel or in the new iPhone, but Huawei has already done it with the Mate 20 Pro , Motorola with the One Zoom or Nokia with the Nokia 9 PureView . The reasons for doing this are not entirely clear, but it seems that if a few years ago it was normal to put the lenses vertically one at a time in the corner, the next step will be to take them to a module and group them.
