Published on December 10, 2019, ahead of the Galaxy S11's launch in 2020, rumors suggested the phone would boast a 5000mAh battery, the largest Samsung had ever made.

According to frequent tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S11 wouldn't use the same 108MP camera found in other devices. Instead, it would feature a custom sensor, superior in quality to the ISOCELL Bright HMX.

The camera would comprise three lenses on the back of the device, including an ultrawide-angle lens and 5x optical zoom.

Android Authority reported that the current ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor tops out at 6K/30fps video recording, while Samsung might offer 8K recording on the Galaxy S11 series, as well as support 8K/30fps recording.

Although charging speeds for the S11 were yet to be leaked, the 5000mAh battery could support 45W fast charging.

With a custom sensor and its quality superiority, Samsung might deliver better photos, especially in less-than-perfect conditions.

The 108MP camera has become a battleground for tech giants, with each wanting to offer the best. However, the release might be pressured by Xiaomi's Mi Note 10, which released in November 2019 with the first 108MP camera.

According to Bloomberg, Samsung plans to outdo Apple's upcoming device with its ultra-resolution camera.

The Galaxy S11's screen would measure between 6.3 and 6.7 inches, with edges less curved than the previous Galaxy S devices.

Steve Hemmerstoffer of 91mobiles noted that the Galaxy S11 camera module might be found at the top left corner, unlike most Samsung devices, which have a camera strip at the center of the top half of the back.
