SAMSUNG GALAXY A91 LEAKS ONLINE WITH PERISCOPE CAMERA

A couple days back, the Youtube channel of Samsung’s Vietnamese division confirmed the new Galaxy A series is getting unveiled on December 12th. That said, the video did not reveal any name or specification but clearly showed a smartphone featuring a punch-hole design in the upper middle part of the display. This is a feature we’ve already seen in high-end phones from the Korean tech giant such as the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus.

Today, renown leakster @onleaks appears to have removed every doubt about at least one of the handsets that will see the light of day next week. We’re obviously talking about the Samsung Galaxy A91.

As we can see in the images, the Galaxy A91 appears to feature a design similar to the Note 10 Plus at the front with a punch-hole camera in the middle. Meanwhile on the back we’ve a large rectangle bump with at least four cameras. Among them, we can clearly see there’ll be a periscope camera. This means the sensor will be able to zoom in further than any other lens; probably about 10x optical.

The Samsung Galaxy A91 also appears to feature some rather thin bezels around a flat panel; no curves here. Additionally, we noticed Samsung decided to go with the volume rockers and power button on the right side. Which is something new as the phone maker usually places them on the left of the display.

In the renders we also see the smartphone features an USB Type-C port at the bottom; so not much of a surprise. Meanwhile we can’t manage to find a 3.5mm audio jack, thus it’s either hidden at the top or completely absent.

Finally, according to previous reports, the A91 will feature a 6.7-inch screen with 1080P resolution; along with a Snapdragon 855 chip, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 4500mAh battery supporting 45W fast charge.

Nokia 9 PureView successor teased for 2020

The Nokia 9 PureView may have remained a niche phone with its unusual five camera array, but HMD isn’t giving up on the concept. Come 2020 the Android phone-maker will be launching a new Nokia PureView phone that uses Qualcomm’s freshly-announced Snapdragon 765 chipset, and tapping its power for new camera features.

The news was shared at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit 2019, an event the chipmaker was so excited about, it brought SlashGear and hundreds of other global media out to attend.

The Nokia 9 PureView remains one of the more unusual Android phones of recent years. Targeting an unexpectedly affordable price point for a company’s flagship device, its big boast was a multi-camera array with several sensors that would capture simultaneously. Data from all five was then combined to deliver greater detail, dynamic range, color accuracy, and more.

It was certainly clever, and capable of some great images in the right conditions, but it wasn’t perfect. For a start, post-processing to combine the multiple sensors-worth of data wasn’t instantaneous, and though Nokia pushed out firmware updates to improve that, there was still some delayed gratification to deal with.

That’s something HMD looks to be tackling with Qualcomm’s new chipsets, announced today. HMD is sticking with the midrange SoC, specifically the Snapdragon 765, rather than the more expensive Snapdragon 865. However that chip has much more camera processing, ISP, and other capabilities.

It’ll allow the Nokia 9 PureView successor to offer not only advanced computational photography for stills, but video too. The boast is 4K UHD HDR, among other talents, though full specifications will have to wait until the phone’s proper debut next year.

As you’d expect, there’ll also be 5G, with the new Nokia phone relying on the freshly-unveiled Snapdragon X52 5G modem. That packs all the features of the X55, but sacrifices a little in maximum speed in order to remain affordable. There’ll also be Nokia’s PureDisplay technology – which supports HDR10 video along with upscaling from standard definition – and we’re expecting a relatively unmodified version of Android, too. HMD has a solid track record of pushing out new Android builds rapidly, and that’s something we’re hoping to continue in 2020.

XIAOMI MI 10 IS OFFICIAL – CONFIRMED TO USE SNAPDRAGON 865 SOC

At the ongoing Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit 2019, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman of Xiaomi, Lin Bin, officially announced the Xiaomi Mi 10. According to him, this smartphone will be one of the first devices to use the Snapdragon 865 SoC. In a follow-up Weibo post, Lin Bin also said that the Mi 10 is already in mass production. This smartphone comes with SA/NSA dual-mode 5G network. From this recent confirmation, the Xiaomi Mi 10 series will probably arrive in Q1 2020. Lin Bin said

Unfortunately, we do not have more information regarding the Xiaomi Mi 10. Recall that Lin Bin recently confirmed the existence of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.

Furthermore, another Chinese manufacturer, Oppo will also use the Snapdragon 865 SoC. In fact, Oppo confirms that its SD865 phone will arrive in Q1 2020.

“In 2020 Q1, OPPO will launch its flagship product using the Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform, together bringing a faster and superior 5G experience to users.”

Recent media reports claim that the Xiaomi Mi 9 series has been removed from Xiaomi official website. At the same time, two other Mi 5G mobile phones with the models M2001J1E and M2001J1C passed the 3C certification. There is currently no more information about Xiaomi’s next flagship phone. This seems to suggest that Xiaomi is paving way for the arrival of the Mi 10

XIAOMI’S PLAN FOR 5G PHONES INCLUDING THE XIAOMI MI 10

Recently, Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun, announced that the company will release 10 5G mobile phones in 2020. According to him, these devices will cover various price points. Lei Jun believes that by next year, 4G phones may face a huge sale challenge in the market. He hopes that operators can speed up the deployment of 5G. In his view, 5G is becoming an accelerator for the development of the digital economy. 5G is a big event for the entire communications industry and the Internet industry. “It has huge opportunities, and there are huge challenges and risks. Everyone has different plans and schedules. However, Xiaomi is optimistic and radical.

This statement from Xiaomi’s top official means that the company will unveil flagship, mid-range and entry-level 5G smartphones next year. For now, the price of 5G phones is a turn-off for many potential buyers. By next year, there will be a sharp rise in 5G users.

The LG G8 is currently the cheapest Snapdragon 855 flagship you’ll find

The LG G8 doesn’t get as much attention as the rest of the Android flagships released in 2019, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth your time. It was one of the first phones to ship with the Snapdragon 855 chipset, and has two capable cameras and clean Android software. It’s even starting to receive the big Android 10 update.

Right now for Cyber Monday, you can get it on sale for an incredibly affordable $399. For that money, it’s pretty tough to resist.

The G8 has a clean and minimal design with a great balance of both old and new tech. You won’t find an in-display fingerprint sensor on the G8, despite launching around the same time as the Galaxy S10, but I actually prefer its more traditional rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. You get a tactile feel for where your finger should go, and you can swipe down on the sensor to pull down your notification shade — something I miss every day on newer flagships.

You also still get a 3.5mm headphone jack, backed by LG’s incredible Quad DAC that makes the G8 one of the best phones you can buy for high-fidelity wired audio. There’s an impressively loud speaker under the display as well, and you get a microSD slot for holding media like music and movies.

That display is pretty great, too. It’s a 6.1-inch OLED panel with great color reproduction that’s a bit less saturated than Samsung’s displays (in a good way, if you ask me), and with tight bezels the G8 still manages to feel relatively small and compact.

The G8 gets a lot of flack for its poorly executed motion gestures, but that’s far from the only aspect of its software. You get speedy Android 9 software — or if you’re one of the lucky ones who’s already receiving the latest update, Android 10 — with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in.

There’s a lot to love about the LG G8, and with an unheard of 53% discount for Cyber Monday, now’s about as good a time as any to buy one.

NOKIA IS MAKING MORE FEATURE PHONES

In the early years on feature phones, Nokia was a major force to reckon with. However, the smartphone era saw a lot of development and initially, Nokia couldn’t keep up. Many thanks to HMD Global, the Nokia smartphone brand is doing relatively well. Nevertheless, the company seems to hold tight its initial virtues (Feature Phones). According to a recent TENAA document, Nokia has a new feature phone with model number “TA-1242”.

Well, since many carriers worldwide are now dumping the 2G network, we expect this device to support at least a 3G network. The Nokia “TA-1242”, uses the T9 standard keyboard bar design. The phone size is 13.45 × 50.1 × 117.98mm and it weighs 79.17g. It uses a 2.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 × 240.

In terms of configuration, the battery capacity of this phone is 800 mAh. From the TENAA images, this feature phone comes with a detachable battery design. In addition, it also has a 3MP rear camera with a flash on the left. While many may consider this device as “irrelevant”, it is relevant in many sectors. A huge part of the world still makes use of 2G and 3G networks. In these regions, feature phones are their best bet. Furthermore, older folks prefer to stick with the simple feature phones.

Samsung Suddenly Exposes Radical New Galaxy Smartphone

Samsung’s Galaxy S11 has leaked and leaked again, revealing a series of radical new features. And now Samsung confirmed its new smartphone for the first time.

Picked up by the ever-alert XDA Developers, Samsung has publicly revealed the Galaxy S11 for the first time in its application to China’s CCC. The company also disclosed its exact model number as well as its headline feature and fast charging speed.

12/1 Update: popular Samsung insider @IceUniverse has built upon the OnLeak’s design leak revealing that “key parts are wrong, the real design is more beautiful than this” explaining that the cameras will be symmetrical and the 5x optical zoom lens will be square. While the display will have a class-leading 120Hz display.

11/27 Update: acclaimed leaker @OnLeaks has teamed with CashKaro to reveal just how radical Samsung’s Galaxy S11+ will be thanks to an extreme new quintuple rear camera in a huge rectangular hump. The primary camera is understood to be 108MP with 5X optical zoom, capable of 8K video recording but, aside from ultra-wide angle and telephoto lenses, it is unknown what the other modules will do. Images below:

The first of these is good news. Samsung confirms the Galaxy S11 (listed as ‘SM-G9860’) will come with 5G. This should set the bar for 2020 smartphones with almost all rivals upgrading their flagships to 5G tech, including wide-band support from Apple.

The second disclosure, is less positive. Samsung reveals that the Galaxy S11 will only have support for a maximum charging speed of 25W. Granted, this is a step-up from the ageing 15W standard of the Galaxy S10, but the Note 10 Plus introduced 45W charging so it’s going to raise eyebrows that Samsung has taken a step down from this.

I suspect the reality is Samsung will again save 45W charging for the larger Galaxy S11 Plus, but with big rivals like OnePlus, Honor and Huawei all offering phones with 40W+ charge capabilities, it’s surprising to see Samsung be so unambitious with Galaxy S11. It also confirms that revolutionary new battery tech Samsung is working on will not make it into the phone.

That said, elsewhere we know Samsung is aiming high. Samsung is equipping its Galaxy S11s with a potentially groundbreaking camera codenamed ‘Hubble’ due to its extreme zoom capabilities. There will also be new shooting modes, a new design, big performance upgrades, next-gen memory, a supersized fingerprint sensor and a real crowdpleaser: much bigger batteries.

With all this information, should you still buy the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note 10? On the surface no, but I will admit there are some massive Black Friday savings to be had on both models, which might just tip the balance.

Galaxy S11+ renders show off world’s most disorganized camera array

OnLeaks showed off renders of the Galaxy S11 a few days ago, and now he has teamed up with CashKaro to show off renders of Samsung’s bigger phone, the Galaxy S11+. As usual, these are unofficial renders, but they’re based on CAD drawings, and in the past they’ve been very accurate.

You’d normally expect the Galaxy S11+ to look just like the Galaxy S11 that was shown off earlier, but Samsung is doing something, uh, special, for the camera bump on this bigger model. Not only is it one of the biggest camera bumps of all time, housing a whopping five camera lenses, it also has a totally wild, disorganized design: nothing is horizontally or vertically aligned with anything else. The camera lenses, flash, and sensors are just kind of randomly distributed around the camera bump area. It certainly looks unique, but I’m not sure that’s “unique” in a good way.

The only caveat with these renders is that the report says the placement of the LED flash is “still not confirmed,” but it sounds like the cameras are going in their random positions.

So far, we know Samsung has plans to use a 108MP sensor for the main camera, and rumors also point to a 5X optical zoom and laser autofocus. That only nails down two of the five cameras. A wide-angle camera seems likely. After that, maybe there’s a depth camera? A macro camera? We’re not sure.

Last year, Samsung released four major sizes of the Galaxy S10: the 5.8-inch Galaxy S10e, 6.1-inch Galaxy S10, 6.4-inch Galaxy S10+, and 6.7-inch Galaxy S10 5G. This year, it sounds like the 5.8-inch size tier is going away, and the S11e, S11, and S11+ are all getting bumped up a size tier and getting bigger screens. There will be no “5G” version, since all the phones will support 5G, and the larger body sizes will allow for the larger batteries needed by Qualcomm’s early 5G hardware. Rumors put the S11e at around 6.2 inches and the S11 at 6.7 inches, while this new S11+ render has the phone at a whopping 6.9-inch display with dimensions of 166.9×76×8.8mm. It’s big.

Other than that, expect a super-fast 120Hz display and the newest SoCs from Samsung and Qualcomm, depending on your region. We expect a release sometime in February, just like last year.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S11 TRIO TO SHIP WITH LASER AUTO-FOCUS

We probably are several months away from knowing the Galaxy S11 in all its glory. However, nothing is stopping them from pipping out through several leaks and rumors. Could be this a sign that Samsung will release its 2020 trio of flagships before the usual MWC season? Well only time will tell, but today, we have another leak about an interesting feature in these devices. According to the very reliable, Ice Universe, Samsung will debut a new Laser AutoFocus System in the new Galaxy S11 series.

Until now, the company has been relying on the Dual Pixel AF system of the image sensor. However, it seems that Samsung will drop this technology in favor of Laser Auto-focus for the upcoming flagships. The reason is unclear, Samsung is rumored to ship a 108MP camera on the upcoming smartphones. Could this sensor lack the Dual Pixel AF system? While Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HMX lacks this technology, there’s no evidence pointing to the use of this sensor in the future flagships.

Perhaps, the Laser Auto-Focus system will be there to give all the assistance needed by the other four cameras. Yeah, according to rumors, at least the Galaxy S11+ will ship with a Penta-Camera setup. We have no confirmation about the number of cameras in the standard S11. However, thanks to a couple of leaked CAD renders we know that the S11e will have “only” three sensors.

The actual use of the fifth camera remains a mystery, however, it shouldn’t be for so long. Samsung doesn’t very concerned in keeping its 2020 flagships a secret. All we can say is, here we go again.

Sony Xperia 5 gets bootloader unlock and Open Devices support

Despite not being the favorite OEM of many, Sony Mobile has done a lot for the Android ecosystem. Between supporting the efforts of open source developers by contributing to AOSP and the advent and upkeep of their Open Devices program, there’s a lot to be said for Sony’s dedication to Android. The Open Devices program is an initiative that provides working AOSP code for Sony smartphones that are a part of the program. Developers can then use this working AOSP code to make custom ROMs. The Sony Xperia 5 is the latest addition to the Open Devices program.

Of course, to boot a custom ROM, you do need to have an unlocked bootloader as well. As a result, Sony has also announced that the Sony Xperia 5 can now be bootloader unlocked. The company has published build guides for AOSP for smartphones in the Open Devices program, and you’ll be able to modify and build your own custom ROMs to boot on the Xperia 5 with ease. You can view the working source code for an AOSP build for the Sony Xperia 5 on GitHub, which you can sync and compile. There are even kernel compilation guides and guides to access the UART port.

The Sony Xperia 5 is the latest smartphone from the company to be added to the Open Devices program. The Xperia 1, 10, and 10 Plus were all added this year as well. Despite waning interest in Sony’s smartphones over the years, the company has remained committed to the developer community. If you want to compile AOSP for the Sony Xperia 5, you can check out the link below.
