In a series of tweets, popular Samsung insider Ice Universe has revealed that the Exynos 990-based Galaxy S11 sold in Europe and Asia will be notably inferior to the Snapdragon 865-based version sold in the US. And that could have serious repercussions for all buyers.

After lauding the performance of Qualcomm’s newly unveiled Snapdragon 865 by revealing its first benchmarks, Ice lamented: “I hope that the Galaxy S11 all over the world uses the Snapdragon 865 processor. Exynos 990 cannot compete with it. This is the darkest period of Exynos. It has never been so embarrassing.”

If they can lower the price difference by $300, I don’t mind the S11 using the  Exynos chip

Unfortunately only US and China markets use Snapdragon. If got lobang can share here. Even note 10 the SD version is better

Singapore perhaps? 

Samsung may sell the Snapdragon 865 Galaxy S11 in more markets

15/12 Update: Ice Universe has added a further tantalising titbit writing: "S11+，108MP，9→1，12MP/2.4μm". This means the Galaxy S11+ (and, I believe, the S11 as well) will have a 108MP sensor that bins nine pixels to create one large 2.4μm pixel with a final 12 megapixel image. Samsung has never used pixel binning tech on its flagships before but it's clear the S11 line-up will be dominated by its massive new camera. With good reason.

Picked up by the eagle eyes of SamMobile and popular Samsung insider Ice Universe, Samsung has made the battery sizes of the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11+ publicly available through the submission of these parts for certification at government testing agency SafetyKorea. And its reveals Samsung has stepped up its game.

    Galaxy S11: 4,500 mAh (Battery ID - EB-BG985ABY)
    Galaxy S11+: 5,000 mAh (Battery ID - EB-BG988ABY)

5000 mAh !!!!

I'm waiting to upgrade just for this extra juice !

[francis wu]

Hope the pricing is reasonable If below 1.5K, will buy

The S10+ now costs only $1,098 for the 128gb, quite attractive

I would prefer the camera housing to be at the center!

Might need to change the title of this thread liao 

12/31 Update: Ice Universe has revealed Samsung 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 S10+ the Galaxy S20 Ultra. These seem unnecessary alternations to me, but it looks to be final.
