14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has only recently launched the Galaxy Note20, but the world is already prepared for the next flagship coming from the South Korean company.
And according to a recent report, the Galaxy S30 Ultra, which is expected to be the best of the best in the next Galaxy S series, won’t come with any kind of battery upgrade.
For many, this is quite a deal-breaker, especially because they expected improved battery life from the Galaxy S30 Ultra. And while Samsung could still achieve this with software optimizations, a 5,000 mAh unit would still be offered on the device.
The next Galaxy S model
The next Samsung high-end model, which could launch as either Galaxy S21 or Galaxy S30, is projected to go live in the spring of the year, as per the typical release calendar of the South Korean company.
Based on the previous generations, the new Galaxy S model should be unveiled in February, while the sales should kick off in March.
According to people familiar with the matter, however, there’s a chance that Samsung plans to make important changes to its flagship device lineup. More specifically, the South Korean company could actually sell its foldable lineup of phones as flagships, while the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note series would no longer use this moniker.
On the other hand, I really don’t expect Samsung to make any substantial changes in terms of hardware, meaning both models would continue to use only the latest-generation processors that are available when they launch.
So while Samsung will bet big on foldable phones in the long term, the Galaxy S and the Note lineups will continue to offer the best Samsung has in its lineup at any given moment, as well as with the most refined Android experience available for users.
