We finally might have some concrete details about the next generation Galaxy S11. According to credible tipster @IceUniverse, one of the Galaxy S11 models is codenamed Picasso, just like the Galaxy S10, which was codenamed Beyond before its official release.
Besides, the latest leak claims that the Galaxy S11 will have significant camera upgrades over the current model. That said, no specifics were provided about the camera improvements we can expect with the next-generation Galaxy flagship. For now, we can say it might use the same camera configuration that’ll featrure on the forthcoming Galaxy Note 10, which is expected to get a quad-camera setup including a ToF sensor.
Elsewhere, the Galaxy S11 could also see its front camera cutout repositioned or redesigned. Samsung could further refine the camera cutout by making it even smaller than the one found on the Galaxy S10, or for that matter on the upcoming Note phablet. The Galaxy Note 10 slated for a release in August will have its camera cutout in the center of the screen, as opposed to the top right corner found on the Galaxy S10.
Finally, the leak indicates that the Galaxy S11 will run Android Q out-of-the- box with Samsung’s One UI 2.x atop. Google is expected to release the next version of its Android operating system this summer, therefore, by the time the Galaxy S11 releases, the search engine giant would be ready to push it to flagships from other manufacturers as well.
Samsung is excpected to launch the Galaxy S11 in early 2020, while its global unveiling is likely to take place in February.
In other related news, Samsung has finally confirmed the launch date of the Galaxy Fold. The handset was originally slated for a release in April. However, the launch was pushed back due to screen issues found by earlly reviewers of the device.
Samsung is now beleived to have resolved such issues that delayed the handset’s launch by four months. The Korean giant has announced that the handset will go on sale in September, just a few weeks after it launches the Galaxy Note 10. Samsung also confirmed that only select markets will get it first, though other specifics haven’t been provided.
