Samsung is yet to reveal the official details. However, a recent report claimed to have leaked the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy S20 family. The standard Galaxy S20 is said to carry a starting price of $999 (roughly Rs. 72,000), while the Galaxy S20+ is rumoured to debut at an initial price of $1,199 (roughly Rs. 85,400) and the Galaxy S20 Ultra could debut starting at $1,399 (roughly Rs. 99,600).

The smartphones are also said to have multi-camera systems, with the Galaxy S20 Ultra sporting a 108-megapixel ISOCELL Bright HMX primary sensor. The company is rumoured to offer Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC on all three models, though some markets would get the Exynos-version of the Galaxy S20.
The Galaxy S20 is rumoured to include a 4,000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S20+ would come with a 4,500mAh battery and the Galaxy S20 Ultra may include a 5,000mAh battery. The Galaxy S20 Ultra would also come with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage.
