Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy S11 was nowhere to be found in Samsung's CES 2020 presentation, but here are all the tech integrations they've unveiled that are likely to appear in the phone maker's next flagship. Interestingly, very little of the presentation hinted at the kind of stuff that's coming to phones this year. Instead, the talk painted a picture of a much more integrated family and urban life, and since all of this will likely go through Samsung smartphones, it's conceivable that the Galaxy S11 will provide optimized Samsung apps to better monitor and control your spaces. At home, think about the new Ballie bot, a cute companion who patrols the house and reminds you of calendar events. But with Ballie's camera, she can also see what she's looking at, which increases her monitoring ability. While Ballie is a concept and certainly won't launch alongside the Galaxy S11, it's a safe bet that Samsung is looking to make the phone even more of a hub for a connected home, especially if automated help like Bot Chef does. . in the market. Samsung isn't just studying futuristic home appliances: it's exploring real estate with typical built-in smart home connectivity, as the company's partnership with Greystar suggests.
Samsung Galaxy S11: the gateway to connected cities?
Other parts of the speech were less relevant to the Samsung Galaxy S11, such as Samsung's vague investment in 5G-connected cities. Given the sparse next-gen infrastructure that's been built, it's unlikely the company's next flagship phone will have a lot of data to ingest and provide S11 owners with relevant information, for example weather advice. or traffic, but it is possible. If not with cities, the keynote speech gave a brief nod towards aggregating urban mobility systems into a single payment experience. What would be the easiest way to quickly pay for buses, subways, taxis/rideshares, bikes and scooters? Just swipe in your Samsung Galaxy S11 with Samsung Pay or an NFC equivalent, of course.
Don't have a Samsung Galaxy S11e?
What's clearer might be the Galaxy S11 phone lineup: At CES, we saw both the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite. The former is the cheapest flagship-grade phone we've seen in a while, but the latter seems to cannibalize the flagship budget role the S10e had, so we may not get an S11e after all as Samsung chases the premium market and maybe he saves the "Lite" versions for later in the year. The other possibility is that Samsung is pushing the S11e into a different role. Since the S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite are physically large devices, both with 6.7-inch screens, the S11e could evolve to become the only small flagship from the phone maker. than the version of the famous iPhone SE.
More roles for the Galaxy S11
Samsung has also strongly pushed its network of devices that promote health and accessibility. The speech unexpectedly launched a wellness video of blind users putting on the Samsung Gear VR to see their loved ones and themselves, suggesting the company hasn't given up on its smartphone VR project entirely. Internally, expect more on-device AI processing, as Samsung has been working to keep Bixby out of the cloud as a privacy measure, with ``AI We Can Trust''. & # 39; on screen Of course, Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 39 is slated to power the Galaxy S865, and since the chipset more or less requires a 11G modem, it's likely that some, if not all, of the new phones will be 5G phones. It's unclear if this will lead to even higher prices for the S5 range, but we wouldn't be surprised given that the Samsung Galaxy S11 10G was much more expensive than its non-5G siblings.- Discover all the CES 2020 covers from LaComparacion.
