Samsung Galaxy S11 Lineup Tipped To Feature 48MP Telephoto Lens

Karamchand Rameshwar - Dec 24, 2019

Tipster Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11, and Galaxy S11 Plus will come with a telephoto lens of at least 48MP resolution.

Last month, a report claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11 Plus will come with a quad-camera lens system on the rear with a 48MP telephoto lens. Now, the famous tipster Ice Universe also suggests that the Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11, and Galaxy S11+ will all have a telephoto lens with at least 48MP resolution. He doesn’t say the exact resolution of the telephoto lens, but he claims that “Samsung will lead the high-pixel telephoto lens”.

Aside from that, the Galaxy S11 and S11 Plus are tipped to carry the company’s new 108MP sensor on the rear camera setup. However, we are not sure if the Galaxy S11e will also have one considering it is a more affordable offering in the lineup. Samsung might use a lower-resolution unit on the phone.

The series will likely be released on 18 February and we should hear more about them in the upcoming weeks.

Galaxy S11 Series: Expected specifications

There have been quite a few rumors and leaks about the forthcoming Samsung flagship series in the last couple of weeks. Renders of all three versions have been posted online, giving us a good look at their designs. These three smartphones might feature similar designs with a center-aligned hole-punch screen, a square-shaped camera setup at the back, and a curved AMOLED screen.

The premium Galaxy S11 & S11 Plus might be equipped with a Samsung’s new 108MP sensor. Their cameras could be backed by features like Vertical Panoramas, Night Huperlapse, 8K video recording, Director’s View, Single Take Photo, and more. As for processing power, all three could be driven by an Exynos 990 chipset. Meanwhile, the newly-announced Snapdragon 865 SoC could be available on the flagship smartphones in several markets, but we are not sure whether it will bring that version to India.

On the front, the more affordable Galaxy S11e is tipped to pack a smaller display with 6.3 or 6.4 inches in size. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S11 & S11 Plus might carry a 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch screens, respectively. They might also support a refresh rate of 120Hz. Finally, there should be 4G and 5G models of the devices available at launch.
