June 14, 2025
We’ve seen severalGalaxy S11leaks in recent weeks, ranging from a 108MP camera to the possibility of 8K recording. The leaks are only just beginning though, and the Samsung Galaxy S11 5G may have surfaced online this week.
A Samsung phone with the model number SM-G9860 passed through China’s 3C telecom website, according toXDA-DevelopersandDroidShout. The model number lines up with the Samsung Galaxy S11 5G, according toprevious leaks.
Furthermore, the listing mentions 5G support and 25W charging, which is in line with theSamsung Galaxy S10 5Gand faster than the S10’s 15W speeds. Hopefully the 25W figure is just a placeholder for now, because the likes ofHuawei,OnePlus,Oppo, andXiaomiall offer faster charging solutions in 2019.
That’s not to say 25W charging is slow, but we’ve seen the likes of theHUAWEI Mate 20 Pro,OnePlus 6T McLaren EditionandOPPO Find Xall offer faster charging back in 2018.
The news comes a few days afterXDAuncovered evidenceof 8K recording, a 108MP camera, and a host of new camera modes in a beta version of the Samsung Camera app. This suggests that the Galaxy S11 camera experience will be a major upgrade compared to Samsung’s 2019 flagships.
Another leak this week uncovered a120Hz optionin the latest One UI 2.0 beta, suggesting that Samsung could be hopping aboard the high refresh rate bandwagon too.
