Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus leaked renders show an enormous camera block

Back when the iPhone 11 Pro launched many were critical of the large camera block, but that’s nothing compared to the camera housing on the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus if newly leaked renders are accurate.

Shared by @OnLeaks (a leaker with a very good track record) and CashKaro, the renders show a massive camera block on the back, in the top left corner. It’s black here, which makes it stand out all the more alongside the white of the rear.

It appears to house five lenses along with two smaller sensors, so given how much hardware is involved it’s no surprise that it takes up so much space.

The front of the phone is more familiar, with an all-screen design, a curved display (that’s apparently around 6.9 inches in size) and a punch-hole camera in the top center, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. The curves of the screen will apparently be less than those of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, though.

As for the dimensions, the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus is apparently 166.9 x 76 x 8.8mm (rising to 10.2mm at the camera bump). The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus for comparison is 157.6 x 74.1 x 7.8mm.

So that would make the Galaxy S11 Plus a bigger phone, but that’s no surprise given the rumored screen size and camera hardware.

All that said, we would take these renders with a pinch of salt, as while the source is generally very reliable another leaker claims these renders are inaccurate. Twitter leaker @UniverseIce has said that key parts of the render are wrong and that the real design is more beautiful.

They didn’t get into specifics, but they had previously said that the Galaxy S11 Plus wouldn’t be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S11. Given that these renders look a lot like leaked Galaxy S11 ones (albeit with a larger camera block), the actual S11 Plus design might be very different to these.

That said, it would seem strange for Samsung to offer a radically different design for the Plus model, so we certainly wouldn’t count these renders out yet.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
