Rumours say the new Samsung Galaxy S20 will have no headphone jack, run on the latest Qualcomm mobile chip and have a 6.4-inch screen

The Samsung Galaxy S20 rumour mill is at maximum capacity, churning out pretty much every detail we need to get a good idea of what to expect in early 2020.

Indeed, Samsung is expected to unveil its new Galaxy S phones on February 11, and we’ve seen some leaks, rumours and renders from some of the most reliable gadget leakers in the industry. One of the latest rumours settles on the “S20" model name for the upcoming Galaxy phones.

This is what we think we know about the Galaxy S20 so far, and it’s looking like a standard design and spec update. There are a couple of things that stand out regarding the camera and the kinds of networks with which the Galaxy S20 phones will connect.

We’re still waiting for a good rumour from a reliable source for the price tags to expect. For now, we only have the Galaxy S10 price tags to work from, and the price tags in general of high-end Android phones, so we’re expecting the Galaxy S20 phones to be priced between US$750 and US$1,100.

Here’s everything we’ve heard about the phones so far.

There’s said to be a wide variety of Galaxy S20 models

XDA-Developers’ Max Weinbach believes there will be three members of the Galaxy S20 family, with each member getting variants that come with 5G connectivity.

Interestingly, there is no mention of a Galaxy “S20e” model that could come with a lower price tag, slightly fewer features and a slightly different design than the full-fat S20 models. The Galaxy S10e was one of the most highly acclaimed smartphones of 2019, so it’ll be a shame if Samsung doesn’t offer something similar in the S20 line-up.

Still, other gadgets leakers have claimed there will be a Galaxy S20e model.
