Samsung Galaxy S11 may have a high-refresh rate SAMOLED display 

This year’s Galaxy S10 phones pack Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED display. Next year’s Galaxy S11 phones may pack something new, on the display front, and while we don’t know what that would be, chances are we’re looking at a high-refresh rate – possibly 90Hz or more. Samsung has filed a patent at the Korean Intellectual Property Office for a ‘SAMOLED’ moniker in the Smartphone Displays category that could make its way to the next Galaxy S phone – or perhaps, even the next Galaxy Fold. 

We don’t know what SMOLED stands for just yet, but it shouldn’t be confused with Super AMOLED, which is another Samsung proprietary technology. Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED display brought in HDR10+ support and high pixel density – among other improvements. It would be interesting to see what SMOLED brings to the table. A higher refresh rate seems plausible because this is something that was previously rumoured for the Galaxy Note 10 – it is said that Samsung decided to axe the feature at the last minute, possibly to bring it to the next-generation Galaxy S phones.  

The Galaxy S11 is rumoured to come in three sizes and as many as five variants, according to serial tipster Evan Blass. While three sizes for the Galaxy S11 may not seem surprising anymore what with the Galaxy S10 also having three different sizes, it is their purported numbers that are particularly interesting. Additionally, the top-tier Galaxy S11+ may come in only 5G. 

While this year’s Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ have a 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.3-inch displays, next year’s Galaxy S11 phones are tipped to come in 6.4, 6.7 and 6.9-inch screen sizes. Another interesting tidbit shared by Blass is that all the Galaxy S11 phones will come with a curved-edge display – including the entry-level Galaxy S11e. The Galaxy S10e, to recall, has a flat display as a measure to keep costs down. Lastly, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S11 lineup as per tradition – meaning in mid to late February – according to Blass. 

The Galaxy S11 is further also said to come with a 108MP main camera and a 5x periscope zoom camera.
