We published our review of the Galaxy Note 10 just over a month ago,
but thanks to a surprisingly early leak, we may already know when the
Galaxy S11 will make its debut. According to “preliminary information”
received by SamMobile, the launch event for Samsung’s next-generation flagship is scheduled for the third week of February.
SamMobile says that Samsung will once again hold its
Unpacked event for the next Galaxy flagship in San Francisco, and
although the publication says it is not 100% confident, it seems likely
that Samsung will take the stage on February 18th, 2020 to introduce the
world to the new Galaxy S11 series.
This isn’t exactly a shocking development, considering the Galaxy S10
launched on Wednesday, February 20th of this year, but the fact that
details about the S11’s launch are leaking this early is yet another
sign that there may never be another genuine surprise announcement in
the world of mobile technology again. That said, Microsoft did pull a
fast one on us earlier this week when it unveiled its dual-screen
smartphone, the Surface Duo.
Substantive leaks about the Galaxy phone itself have been few and far
between (which isn’t surprising if the phone really is four months out
from being revealed), but SamMobile has previously reported
that the S11 could come in a variety of storage sizes, including a 1TB
model for the Galaxy S11+. We have also heard that the Galaxy S11 might
feature a class-leading 108-megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom.
In
the coming months, leaks, rumors, and reports will continue to bubble
up, giving us a better idea of what to expect from the phone. But
there’s probably won’t be much left to reveal by February 18th.
