Galaxy S11 giant screen sizes, 108MP camera and colors just leaked.

A new leak says that all of the Samsung Galaxy S11 phones will come in even bigger sizes than the S10 line, reaching up a skateboard-worthy 6.9 inches for the S11 Plus, which will come only as a 5G phone. Moreover, software leaks confirm they will come with an oversized 108MP camera sensor.

    '..And the weird split between tablets (useful size, no phone calls) and phones (tiny size, phone calls) has always bugged me since they run the same software.'

    Weirdly, the 10.something" tablet I'm typing this on whilst I update the various apps (cheap, sub 80 GBP Chinese Beista POS) makes calls, has dual SIM slots etc..was bought as a light (as in weight) tablet for a family member with very aggressive rheumatoid arthritis..its about the upper weight limit she can comfortably hold for any sustained length of time.

    It's spec is shit compared to some of the 'brand name' models, for the price I didn't expect anything better, and as a bonus came with bundled spyware (removed after I rooted the bugger), no updates, no real prospect of running anything other than the bundled android version, but it meets the weight requirement and does the job..

    On the one hand: I'm glad to see the world moving beyond "phones". These things are capable portable computers that are always connected to the internet.

    For gits and shiggles I installed Kali on this tablet via termux and anlinux, surprisingly, it sort of worked..it's also a very very weird feeling compiling stuff from source directly on the tablet and then running it...hell, I've even run some of my decades old Perl code directly on it..this thing which looks like a plastic toy has more processing power than the workstations I spent the better part of the 90's and 00's sitting in front of, and all it normally gets used for is web browsing, email and watching videos..
    Of course, one of my Android phones seriously outperforms this tablet, and all it gets used for is email and phonecalls..
