New leak shows size differences between the three Galaxy S11 models

The saga of Galaxy S11 leaks continues, with the latest leak giving us an indication of the size differences between the Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11, and Galaxy S11+. Leakster Ice universe has published a photo that allegedly shows protective films for the three Galaxy S11 models side by side.

If these are the real deal, then there’s good news for those who had been worried even the smallest of the Galaxy S11 models would be too big. The Galaxy S11e seems to be considerably smaller than the Galaxy S11, though one could also say the latter is a lot bigger than the Galaxy S11e and not the other way around. Indeed, if previous rumors are to be believed, the S11e could have a screen size of at least 6.2 inches, which is a substantial jump over the 5.8 inch display on the Galaxy S10e.

The Galaxy S11 and S11+, meanwhile, are expected to have 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch displays respectively. Those are also sizable increases over the Galaxy S10 and S10+, but while there may not be a truly compact model available in the Galaxy S11 series, Samsung will be making up for it by putting in bigger batteries. And those will certainly be needed, since the Galaxy S11 lineup is rumored to have a 120 Hz display refresh rate and, at least in the case of the S11+, 5G connectivity as standard.

Samsung Galaxy M31 specs reveal two expected upgrades

Like the Galaxy A series phones Samsung launched this year, devices in the budget Galaxy M lineup will also be getting sequels in the coming year. It was only two weeks ago that we exclusively revealed that Samsung is working on the Galaxy M11 and Galaxy M31, and the latter has already made its way into the Geekbench benchmark database. It turns out that the Galaxy M31 will bring a couple of expected upgrades over the Galaxy M30.

Revealed Galaxy M31 specs don’t offer any surprises

The first of those is the processor. The Exynos 7904 that powers the M30 is being replaced by an Exynos 9611 on the M31. It’s not the most powerful chip, but it’s the one Samsung has been using in all of its lower mid-range devices recently, such as the Galaxy M30s and the newly announced Galaxy A51. The benchmarked unit had 6GB of RAM, but there’s likely to be a variant with only 4GB of RAM as well. There will be a minimum of 64GB of storage, as we had revealed in our earlier report.

The second upgrade is the version of Android: The Galaxy M31 has been benchmarked with Android 10. Samsung has finally stopped launching phones with outdated software, so the M31 running Android 10 out of the box won’t come as a surprise. The Galaxy M30 has already been updated to Android 10, but since it came with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, it’s unlikely to get Android 11. The Galaxy M31, meanwhile, should go on to get updated till Android 12.

Other than the specs revealed by the benchmark, nothing is known about the Galaxy M31. It’s likely to have upgraded cameras, and we can imagine it will get the same sensors as those on the Galaxy M30s. Whether it will also have a macro camera like the one on the Galaxy A51 remains to be seen. An Infinity-O display can be expected as well, given Samsung’s push for a consistent design language across devices that it’s going to launch in the coming year.

Samsung Galaxy M20 gets another Android 10-based update

In a surprising turn of events, Samsung brought Android 10 to two budget phones, the Galaxy M20 and Galaxy M30, soon after the Galaxy S10 Android 10 update was released (and a day or so before the stable Android 10 update started rolling out to the Galaxy Note 10). Now, the Galaxy M20 has become the first device in Samsung’s expansive smartphone lineup to receive a second software update based on the latest version of Android.

The new update for the Galaxy M20 is rolling out in India, accompanied by software version M205FDDU3CSL5. Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t provided a meaningful changelog. In the company’s community forums, multiple Galaxy M20 owners have complained about reduced performance on Android 10, and one can only hope that issue — and any other that might have been introduced with Android 10 — has been resolved in the latest update.

Of course, if you own a Galaxy M20 and have been facing problems after updating to Android 10, you can check if they have been fixed by installing the new update that’s available now. You can download it over the air by tapping the Download and install option under the Settings » Software update menu on your phone. If that doesn’t work, you can download the latest firmware from our firmware archive and use it to update your phone using a Windows computer.
