While Apple goes small, Samsung is going big with the Galaxy S11 series
For the first time in the Galaxy S line history, all of the S11 series phones may have displays larger than 6 inches, and batteries of
Granted, Apple is also expected to grow the 6.5″ display of the Pro Max to 6.7 inches for its successor, but that would still be smaller on paper than its equivalent on Samsung’s side, the S11+, or whatever it gets named.
For the first time, the S11 series may pass the 6″ display mark, and pack at least 4000mAh batteries
Samsung, however, can afford these huge diagonal leaps thanks to its bezel-busting Infinity design that allows it to shave off the top an bottom bezels almost completely, so in terms of workable display area, the S11 series would have the upper hand.
Today’s Galaxy S11 series report also mentions once again that the S11+ will be coming with a brand new 108MP camera sensor from Samsung, and 5x optical zoom. Just like the purported iPhone 12 Pro Max, the S11+ is said to come as a 5G model only, and sport ToF camera on the back, in addition to all the other photographic accouterments.
If Samsung manages to leapfrog in the camera and battery life departments indeed, the competition with Apple in 2020 will prove to be the most interesting one in a while. When we add 5G connectivity to the mix, a volatile cycle of upgrades may be upon us, both in Apple and in Samsung land.
