Samsung Galaxy S11 Might Come As A Full-Screen Smartphone

What about a full-screen phone?

For those of you who are waiting for a full-screen phone, this may happen faster than you think, as Samsung worked his way towards this goal.

The news comes from South Korea, as media sources reported that Samsung is developing what they proclaim to be a “perfect full screen “.  As cited by MyDrivers, the front camera would be masked into the screen, remaining hidden until taking a photo. This is not the first time that a feature is part of the display, as this was the case for the GalaxyS10’s fingerprint sensor.

This is not the first attempt, made by Samsung, regarding a full-screen smartphone. They tried this before with the Galaxy S10 lineup of devices, which housed the front-facing camera in almost indistinguishable holes placed on the device’s screen.

Of course, there are other companies trying to get an advantage in the smartphones market. One of them, called OnePlus 7 Pro, will offer the customers a pop-up font-camera to maintain the full-screen appearance. This represents a different strategy from Samsung, as they have been able to avoid characteristics that would compromise the full-screen design.

Sources from inside the company stated that the camera’s lenses will be inside the screen. With the purpose of creating the first full-screen smartphone, Samsung will have to use all the experience gained from the process of integrating the fingerprint sensor into the screen of Galaxy S10.

Despite the announcement, Samsung is taking the time with this technology. Best case scenario, this feature will be available with the next Galaxy S11. It may suffer a delay if the company doesn’t get the expected outcome.

Samsung Galaxy S11 in the Future, Maybe a Samsung Galaxy S20

We know that history is there to give us a lesson right? Do you remember the Huawei P10? After its success, we were expecting the P11. However, the company skipped a few numbers and delivered us the P20 and the P20 Pro.

Richard Yu, the company’s CEO, offered a pretty good explanation as to why that happened. Because they thought that the new version is far better than the P10, they felt that just adding another digit won’t do the new product any justice. That’s how they got up to 20.

July 20th delivered us quite a blow, that we might not see another Galaxy S beyond the S10. Maybe Samsung is shifting its focus on something completely different, like a phone that folds or that looks like a Note but there’s yet another possibility which might be Samsung’s changing its naming convention.

It wouldn’t be the first time that Samsung pulled this on us. In August 2011, when the company introduced the S family of products it became an official naming convention. However, Samsung already had R, W, M, and Y, which means that it could happen again.

In South Korea and the European Union Samsung has registered the A10, A30, A50 and A70 which means that, after Samsung A8, we can expect an A10 or an A30 and so on. This is another clue that the company might try to release a Samsung S20, followed by, perhaps, an S30.

The Galaxy 9 and the Galaxy Note 9 represent the last models featuring a single digit representative. The name convention change could happen in 2020, which is yet another reason for the company to deliver an S20 at the mark of a new decade.

There are even some voices that speak about Samsung opting for simplifying the device names, for example Samsung A30 or Samsung S40. However, since Samsung invested a lot of time and money on furnishing the Galaxy brand, it seems unlikely that this scenario would happen.
