Samsung Galaxy S30 release date and price

Samsung always unveils its new Galaxy S models early in the year, and in recent years it has been announcing them in February, then selling them from March, so it’s very likely it will do the same with the Samsung Galaxy S30 range.

We can’t get much more specific than that, but recently the company has avoided MWC (a trade show which takes place at the end of February) and launched its phones earlier in the month, so that too is likely in 2021.

As for a way much the Samsung Galaxy S30 range will cost, the phones will probably bea minimum of as expensive because the Galaxy S20 range, likely meaning a starting price for the essential model ofa minimum of$999 / £899 / AU$1,499, with the Samsung Galaxy S30 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S30 Ultra likely costing even more.

Samsung Galaxy S30 leaks and news

At the time of writing we've not heard many Samsung Galaxy S30 rumors, but one thing we've heard may be a claim that the phone may need an in-screen camera, though Samsung is seemingly evaluating the feasibility, so it seems like the tech won't be ready.

We've also heard that Samsung is functioning on a 150MP camera for smart phones which will combine nine pixels into one, for 16MP shots which will absorbtons of sunshine.

We would however take this claim with a significant side of salt – it’s very early for S30 rumors, the source doesn’t have a diary, and albeit Samsungis functioning the reon camera, that doesn’t guarantee that we’ll see it within the Galaxy S30 range.

Having said that, the claim of a 150MP main snapper has since appeared again, with another source adding that it might be joined by a 64MP telephoto, 16MP ultra-wide, and 12MP macro snapper, plus a depth sensor, for five sensors in total. Though ifthis is of ten accurate it's probably more likely that the Samsung Galaxy S30 Ultra will have these specs.

Elsewhere, there's also a Samsung patent (below) detailing a smartphone camera design with six rear camera sensors.this is able to include five wide-angle ones and one telephoto one,and everylens would be individually tiltable,in order that the ycould point in several directions.
