A barrage of leaks has already confirmed the new design and the specifications of these handsets. And now, acclaimed tipster Max Weinbach has revealed the sale date and prices of these upcoming smartphones.

All the Galaxy S20 models will sport an Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED screen with a QHD+ (1440x3200 pixels) resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate. Weinbach has also claimed that they will offer IP68-rated build quality with up to 5m of water resistance. As for dimensions, the S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra will bear a 6.2-inch, 6.7-inch, and 6.9-inch display, respectively.
Naturally, the phones will come with high-end camera optics
As per leaks, the S20 Ultra will feature a 108MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, 48MP telephoto lens with 100x digital zoom, and a ToF camera. Further, the S20 and S20 Plus will get a similar camera arrangement but with a 12MP main sensor and 64MP telephoto lens, which will support 30x digital zoom. Notably, the regular S20 won't sport a ToF sensor.
