Samsung Galaxy S11 renders leak showing new design, five cameras
The Samsung Galaxy S11 series is arguably the most highly anticipated smartphone lineup of next year. Reports have hinted at some pretty major hardware upgrades that’ll arrive alongside big design changes. And today, tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer has detailed these modifications in a new set of CAD-based renders.

Suggesting Samsung is aiming to create a unified smartphone lineup in 2020, the Galaxy S11, much like the upcoming Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51, looks set to adopt a redesigned front panel that’s inspired by the current-generation Galaxy Note 10. It uses an Infinity-O display which features a centered punch hole paired with extremely thin side bezels, an impressively small top bezel, and a chin that’s been significantly reduced.
Like every Samsung flagship since 2017, next year’s Galaxy S11 also features curved edges on either side of the screen. These are accompanied by an updated aluminum frame which retains the usual antenna lines but is thinner than usual, which has forced Samsung to introduced a cut-out like area on the right side to house the power key and volume rocker.
After replacing the Galaxy S9’s vertical camera setup with a horizontal layout on this year’s Galaxy S10, it seems Samsung has had another change of heart and is preparing yet another layout. This time around, it’ll be positioned in the top-left corner and consist of a rectangular slab of glass which houses an incredible five cameras – the Galaxy S10 features just three.
The functionality of each sensor is yet to leak but rumors have hinted at a 108-megapixel main camera, an improved telephoto shooter that supports 5x optical zoom, a revamped ultra-wide-angle camera, and a dedicated Time-of-Flight sensor. The fifth sensor remains a total mystery at this stage.
