The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is anticipated to be the larger-sized version of the S20 line of phones that may boast higher specs, a bigger battery, and possibly even more features than the Samsung Galaxy S20. It was initially expected to be called the Galaxy S11 Plus but Samsung was confirmed to be skipping S11-S19 to align the nomenclature with the year 2020.

The Galaxy S11/Galaxy S20's launch date is the 11th of February 2020 during Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in San Francisco. Samsung's "new and innovative" Galaxy devices will be exhibited.

The S20 name was officially confirmed by Samsung in a meeting behind closed doors at CES 2020, said the Korean media.

There is a circulating promo image showing off the camera bumps on the S20 Plus and the S20 Ultra. Posted by renowned tipster Evan Blass, it also shows the upcoming Galaxy Buds Plus and seemingly they will be included for free with preorders of the two more expensive S20 phones.

The Galaxy S series is always one of the most anticipated smartphone releases annually. 2019's Galaxy S10 lineup had a unique approach with an all-new Infinity-O design for the display, triple rear cameras, and even a third "budget" model.

This is also following February release date reports from fansite SamMobile and leaks Ice universe.

Samsung's next-generation flagships will be unveiled on the aforementioned date and we will be learning about major changes in store.

For the imaging stack, one S20 variant, in particular, is set to offer a groundbreaking new camera-equipped to capture whopping 108-megapixel pictures, courtesy of Samsung's breakthrough, ultra-large Isocell image sensor.

Leaks of Samsung phones tend to escalate as the launch gets closer to the Feb. 11 announcement.

From the photos, it is shown that the front is all display, save for the camera hole punch centered at the top of the screen.

SM-G980, SM-G985/6, SM-G988 are anticipated to be the model numbers for these devices and the codename is thought to be Hubble, like the telescope, for the S20 Ultra.

The Galaxy S20 range is known as Picasso because of its camera. The company has decided to change branding and call the Galaxy S11e the Galaxy S20, the Galaxy S11 the Galaxy S20+ and is considering calling the Galaxy S11+ the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Photos of Galaxy S20 posted online reveal the S20 Plus 5G.

It is speculated that the S20 Plus will be a 5G phone because the next flagship chipset in line, the Snapdragon 865, requires a 5G modem installed on the device. But to reduce costs, we could also see a 4G model.

The role S20 Plus will play is in question now that the S20 Ultra is rumored to sit above it as the maximum-speed model in the S20 line.

Both the S20 Plus and the S20 Ultra are tipped to come with quad-lens rear cameras, though the specs of the S20 Ultra array will be better in quality.

The S20 Ultra is also rumored to be providing an epic 10x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom with its rear camera setup.
