Thanks to a series of Galaxy S11 leaks we know about its supersized batteries, heavily upgraded biometrics and class-leading new display. But now the craziest part of the Galaxy S11 suddenly makes sense.
Truculent (if famously accurate) industry insider, Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka @OnLeaks) has now revealed what he understands to be the ‘final configuration’ of the Galaxy S11’s stunning new quad-camera. Originally mind-boggingly scattered, the new look ties in with the more symmetrical design fellow insider Ice Universe tipped earlier this month.
Noting that his previous renders were “based upon a first stage prototype”, Hemmerstoffer has now the revealed massive rectangular camera hump of the Galaxy S11 will indeed feature a square telephoto lens (expected to house a 48MP sensor with 5x optical zoom which gives the unit its ‘Hubble’ codename) alongside primary (108MP), wide-angle (48MP) and time-of-flight (ToF) sensors.

This mighty array also uses pixel binning technology to create smaller final images with larger 2.4μm pixels for greatly improved low light capabilities. The unit itself is called the ‘ISOCELL Bright HM1’ and Samsung has high hopes it will deliver game-changing photography after sitting just outside the top performers in recent years.
In addition to this, the Galaxy S11 also features a lorry-load of changes. These include an almost bezel-free display with buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a supersized fingerprint sensor, much larger batteries and 5G. Though users will finally wave goodbye to the headphone jack.
With Samsung also expected to launch the Galaxy S11 earlier than ever before, 2020 will start with a bang. For Samsung, it needs come out the blocks quickly considering Apple’s similarly ambitious plans for the iPhone 12.
