Samsung Galaxy S11 smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

There's still a lot of time left before the Galaxy S11 launches. It is assumed that the South Korean corporation will show a new generation of flagships in February 2024.

The novelty will be equipped with innovative components and will offer users many improvements when compared to the S10 line, the lineup of which is represented by smartphones such as: Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy S10 5G.

Video speculation

Due to the recent release of the next flagship device from the Galaxy S lineup, a small video is presented below, which contains all the information regarding the novelty in question that can be found on the Internet today.

In addition, there are also renders that can show what the design of the device will be.

Specifications

The novelty, of course, will have many features that are available in the Galaxy Note 10, released on 08/07/2019.

Most likely, a corporation from South Korea will take care of new colors, fast charging at 45 W (today the Galaxy S10 recovers the battery using a charger, the power of which is 15 W) and improved photographic capabilities. Alas, most likely the new product will not have a port for a Jack-type headset. By the way, the smartphone will lose the independent button that is responsible for calling Bixby, as well as the heart rate monitor.

Performance

The Galaxy S11 will be powered by Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon chip. Most likely, it will be the Snapdragon 865 system. This modification should be sold in the US. In European countries, the device will be sold with an exclusive Exynos chip from Samsung.

The performance of both solutions is guaranteed to be identical and high. It is highly likely that the system will be manufactured according to the 5nm process technology. This method will increase the energy saving of the system. Together, this will lead to an increase in battery life.

In addition, the South Korean corporation is likely to install a 5G network modem with a chip, which will also reduce battery power consumption. Both variants will have support for high-speed memory such as LPDDR5X and UFS 3.0.

Screen

It is still unclear as of today whether the South Korean company will showcase a compact and slightly affordable variant with an “e” at the end in 2024. Judging by the fame of the Galaxy S10e, which was released in 2019, then such a course of events is quite possible.

It is possible to predict that 2 solutions will be released:

1. The S11 smartphone with a 6.1-inch display.
2. Plus version with 6.4-inch screen.

Autonomy

The battery capacity should be approximately 3 400 mAh in the regular version and 4 100 mAh in the extended version (Plus). Recent reports suggest that the South Korean company may be plotting a revolution on phone batteries.

The novelty can be equipped with a graphene battery, which has support for ultra-fast charging. It is assumed that innovative technologies will be released in the first devices next or 2021.Graphene batteries are more expensive to manufacture when compared with lithium-ion batteries known today. In this regard, many experts suggest that this technology will be equipped with a premium device S11.

The graphene battery is designed to provide the best possible performance when compared to Li-ion batteries. The use of this type of battery will significantly increase the autonomy of the devices. This is likely to please the owners of smartphones manufactured today, who have difficulties with this.

For example, the S10 has a battery with a capacity of 3,400 mAh, which makes it possible to use it as much as possible during the day of active use of the smartphone, and there is no need to recharge the battery during these days.

The next advantage, which is due to the integration of graphene batteries in the new product, is ultra-fast charging. Today's smart devices provide fast charging of the order of several tens of watts, but the effectiveness of this option is significantly reduced as the battery charge level rises.

Modern premium smartphones are able to restore the battery charge from 0% to 50% in half an hour, but the next half is restored over a significantly longer period of time. A graphene-type battery charges a component from zero to one hundred percent in about half an hour. To date, there is no information regarding the reliable parameters of such a battery. In addition, it is unclear what autonomy the graphene battery will have and how much it will cost to replace it.

In addition, we should not forget that after a solid drop with the battery on the Galaxy Note 7 model, Samsung, of course, will be more careful in terms of integrating innovative power solutions.

Cameras

Differences in addition may be in the cameras. The S11 model may be equipped with a single module on the front side, and the Plus version will have a dual camera offering a bokeh effect. Similar solutions are already available in the 2019 S10 and S10 Plus smartphones.

There is still a lot of time before the release of the new item, but the network has the opportunity to find more and more information regarding the Galaxy S11. Most of the insiders are leaning towards the innovative Infinity-O screen with a camera that will be located on the display.

This information was also disclosed by J. Byung-Duk, deputy president of the research group of the South Korean corporation. Another solution is to minimize the projection on the display. Ice Universe, an internet famous person who is popular for his own claims of leaks, says the S11 lineup will come under the iconic Picasso designation and will introduce significant camera improvements.

Most likely, the novelties will include an innovative proprietary matrix Isocell Bright GW1, which offers a 64 megapixel format. It is capable of combining 4 pixels into one, taking a 16 megapixel image in high quality. Recent leaks differ from information obtained from Ice Universe, with other sources suggesting that the South Korean company should focus on improving the quality of images and videos in the process of creating new items.

The fact is that Samsung recently released an innovative 108 MP matrix, developed in partnership with the Chinese corporation Xiaomi. Probably, it is she who will be in the new product in 2024. The ISOCELL Bright HMX is a smartphone-exclusive lens with a format of over 100 megapixels. Most users already know that 108-megapixel format is a marketer's move, since by default the images will be taken in a smaller format.

The South Korean company will use proprietary Tetracell technology that connects 4 nearby pixels. As a result, users will receive images in 27 MP format, which will be of much better quality, and even much less when compared with the 108-megapixel original.

It is not yet clear whether the South Korean company will give the opportunity to photograph frames at 108 MP in a special mode.In addition, the large format sensor and premium components should be a factor in the fact that the new product will provide the ability to record video in 6K format. The smartphone, which will be released in 2024, in addition is capable of providing multiple optical or mixed-type magnification.

The development of the latest ISOCELL Bright HMX matrices started last month of this year, and therefore the South Korean company, of course, is able to manufacture as many as it will need to release new smartphones. The main 108-megapixel sensor will be equipped with two auxiliary lenses. They will be tele- and wide-angle lenses. In addition, it is possible to assume that the new product will be equipped with a depth sensor that appeared in the latest Galaxy Note 10.

BY

It is permissible to predict that the novelty will be released with the Android 10 Q operating system on board, which was released in August 2019. Perhaps, the novelty will also demonstrate an upgraded version of the One UI overlay.

Design and build reliability

The first pictures and shots showing the design of the smartphone were provided by Tech Configurations and are available in this article. It should be noted that most of the components were taken from the Galaxy A80 model, but there is no certainty that the new product will be just that.

• New colors;
• 45W ultra-fast charging;
• Advanced cameras;
• Incredible performance.

• Lack of port for Jack-type headset;
• The lack of a button that is responsible for calling the Bixby assistant.

Will it be a Galaxy S11?

Korea says the next generation of the premium phone may not be named the Galaxy S11. To this day, Samsung has been fully predictable, and since the Galaxy S launched in June 2010, the number of each generation has increased.

By the way, there are many smartphone manufacturers on the market who, after demonstrating devices with the number 10 in the name, completely changed the naming method. Examples include Huawei, Apple and Microsoft.

The South Korean corporation has not yet confirmed or denied, so we can expect a device named Galaxy S 2024 and Galaxy S 20. It is possible that a company from South Korea will completely turn away from the S symbol and come up with a new method of naming its own premium smartphones.

For example, not so long ago, the A lineup went through strong external transformations, after which new names were introduced. Probably, today is the moment when you can do exactly the same with a series of premium smartphones.

When released?

Experts suggest that the South Korean corporation will show the novelty at a separate planned demonstration of Unpacked, before the start of the MWC in Spain, scheduled for February 24-27 next year.

As before, the new product will be open for pre-order immediately after the show, but the first smartphones will start selling in early spring. The smartphone, of course, will be one of the best flagship devices next year in the Russian Federation.

How much is?

The South Korean company Samsung, like Apple, is gradually increasing the cost of its own premium devices. The S7 model today costs about 53 thousand rubles, and the Galaxy S8 - 58 thousand rubles. In 2018, the S9 model was estimated at 60,000 rubles, and therefore the cost of the new item will not exceed 60,000 RUB.

In conclusion, it should be noted that after the recent increases, experts do not recommend worrying about further price increases. A South Korean company shouldn't do that. It can be predicted that the cost will increase only if the entire new series will have 5G network support in standard versions. This is possible, since the next generation network should start developing exactly next year.
