Samsung Galaxy A11

Galaxy A11 is going to be the next A-series phone from Samsung and it is more likely to go official in February 2020. The new Galaxy A11 is expected to include a triple cam set up on the rear side, will most likely employ a mid-range chipset, and is rumored to include a massive 5000 mAh battery. Can this new Galaxy A11 stand a chance against rivals? Let’s read the specs and features in detail to know if this phone is worth buying or not.

Display and Design

Galaxy A11 employs a 6.2-inch IPS LCD panel with a punch-hole. The screen has HD+ resolution (720x1520 pixels) which amounts to 271 PPI. The panel is less likely to produce sharp and detailed content with the given PPI, but that wouldn’t impact your phone’s performance. The aspect ratio of the phone is 19:9 and the screen to body ratio is 81.6% - in other words, buyers can better enjoy games and videos with more screen size.

The phone has a solid built quality with a polycarbonate plastic finish at the back. It sports a dedicated fingerprint sensor on the back and also adds a Type-C port and 3.5mm jack at the bottom.

Camera and Configuration

Samsung Galaxy A11 comes with a triple set of lenses. It flaunts a 13MP primary lens paired with a 5MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP depth sensor. Buyers can click sharp pictures from the primary snapper and have fun with the multiple cameras at their disposal. On the front, there is an 8MP snapper without any flash, that means it would be difficult for you to take selfies at night.

Galaxy A11 runs on Android 10-based One UI 2.0 interface. The phone has a native Exynos 7904 chipset from Samsung and runs on 3GB of RAM. The Exynos 7904 is a mid-range chipset that can be compared with Snapdragon 660, but in terms of performance, it is slightly behind the Snapdragon 660. The phones house Mali-G71 MP2 GPU, also an entry-level GPU, to handle the graphics. You can expect to have smooth gameplay at the default graphics setting on the phone. This is clearly not a configuration meant for high-end gamers.

Battery, Storage, and Connectivity

The phone is powered by a 4000mAh battery, which should last a day depending upon your usage. The major drawback could be missing fast charge support in the Samsung Galaxy A11. Unfortunately, buyers will have to wait a bit longer for their phones to charge.

Galaxy A11 has 32GB of inbuilt memory that can be used to store your favorite apps and games. With the support of the micro-sd card, you can expand the storage up to 512GB to keep your movies, pictures, videos, songs, etc.

The connectivity of Galaxy A11 includes VoLTE, 4G, WiFi802.11, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS-AGPS, GLONASS, and USB-C

Samsung Galaxy A11 fits in the midrange segment. It is powered by a mid-range SoC and GPU as well. Buyers will obviously miss the Gorilla Glass and fast charge support from Galaxy A11. Judging by the price, it would be unfair to complain about the specs but fast charge and Gorilla Glass support have become a need for smartphones now. You may look for other alternate options that come in the same price segment including Samsung Galaxy M30s, Redmi Note 8, Realme 5 Pro, and Honor 20i.
