Samsung

A new exclusive report from Sammobile has suggested today that Samsung could be planning to introduce a new “M” series of smartphones. Furthermore, it is believed that Samsung might have put a few phones already in progress. The new series is highly anticipated to focus on mid-budget segment. Samsung other series like Galaxy C, J, and ON are likely to vanish gradually as soon as Galaxy M series will come into existence.
Additionally, the report also reveals two model numbers of the new Galaxy M series smartphones and a hint the model name which are SM-M205F for Galaxy M20 and SM-M305F for Galaxy M30. Not only Samsung will use double-digit suffix for M series but they might fall in with A series also. However it would be too early to claim any reports to be true.
We are not done here, the report further reveals that SM-M205F is likely to come in 32GB and 64GB storage options and SM- M305F will possibly have 64GB and 128GB storage memory. Lastly, both phones will carry a dual SIM slot as they usually have in the budget segment.

Galaxy S10: Android 9.0 Pie update confirms 100% borderless screen

Galaxy S10


The Samsung Galaxy S10 could have a 100% borderless screen, reveals the beta release of the Android 9.0 Pie update on the Galaxy Note 9. The new Night Theme feature has an animated demonstration, which shows a smartphone with minimal to no bezels. We haven’t seen any such smartphone from Samsung so far. Therefore, it is safe to believe that the phone showcased in the demonstration video may very well be the Samsung Galaxy S10.
The leaker Ice Universe explains on his Twitter account that he is convinced that this image represents the Galaxy S10. The top edge, usually thicker to accommodate front-end sensors and speakers, is almost non-existent.


Same story from Max Weinbach, a member of XDA Developpers. The man is convinced that Samsung is teasing the borderless design of the Galaxy S10 in the beta of Android Pie on the Galaxy Note 9. “If anyone thinks otherwise, I recall that the beta version of Nougat on the S7 showed the S8, and the beta version of Oreo on the S8 showed the S9, so it makes sense that the beta of S9 and Note 9 displays the S10.” says the user.
As Max Weinbach reminds us, the image coincides with the latest leaks and intentions displayed by Samsung. The manufacturer has decided to bet on a design that is really borderless.
The latest news, Samsung also decided to hide the selfie camera on the Galaxy S10 under the touch screen in a tiny hole. The icon found in Android 9.0 Pie contradicts this leak, there is indeed no hole in the slab. According to the latest rumors, the Galaxy S10 will be presented in February 2019, probably during the MWC of Barcelona. We will tell you more as soon as possible.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro with faulty display will be replaced

Huawei Mate 

 

 

Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, released its flagship Mate 20 series a couple of days ago. The Huawei Mate 0 Pro stands as one of the best phones in the world today. However, even the very best has its flaws. There have been complaints that a certain region of the Mate 20 Pro display (especially the edges) appears greenish and this problem is getting worse. Some users said that the problem started less than seven days after they got the smartphone while others said the issue was there out-of-the-box. Huawei’s UK community forum manager has previously said that the company will look into the issue.  Now the marketing and communications director of Huawei Finland, Elina Takala, said

Well, it appears that the replacement is not restricted to Huawei Finland and users from other parts of the world like Russia has gotten a replacement. However, you cannot get a direct replacement from Huawei since the company does not directly sell smartphones. A user on Huawei UK community said that he went back to O2 where he bought his Mate 20 Pro and it was replaced without any questions asked. He said that after downloading Device Info HW app from Play store, he realized that his device display was made by LG. The replacement he got has a display from BOE. However, there is no confirmation if this issue is restricted to the LG displays of the Mate 20 Pro

Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus

Pros:
  • Fantastic screen
  • Feels great
  • Improved speakers
Cons:

  • Average battery life
  • Dual-sensor only on Plus model
  • Some lag with Samsung’s software
You can’t go wrong with either the Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus, though if we had to recommend one we’d go with the latter – and that’s because it comes with a dual-camera. The extra lens, in this instance, is used for zooming, making the camera far more versatile.
Both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus sport an identical build and similar internals, with the main differences being that the Plus model is equipped with an additional 2GB of RAM, a slightly bigger battery and the aforementioned dual-camera configuration – luxuries most customers should be able to live without.
The biggest update Samsung treated the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus to is a new variable aperture setting within the camera, letting customers switch between an f/2.4 and f/1,5 aperture whenever they see fit, which should ensure images come out bright and full of detail in almost all low-light environments.

HTC U12 Life Coming Soon

HTC U12 Life

Folks at managed to get a scoop of the marketing materials for the alleged HTC U12 Life. Codenamed “Imagine Life”, the phone will likely be a toned down variant of the U12+. There is a reason to believe this speculation since the U12+ is codenamed “Imagine”.
The alleged HTC U12 Life will feature a 6-inch, FHD+(2160 x 1080p) resolution. The aspect ratio is not specified. It will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset under the hood coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB of onboard storage which is expandable. The back will sport a dual camera setup comprising of 16MP and 5MP sensors while the front will sport a 13MP sensor.  The rear cameras will come with PDAF and support for 4K video. It will be powered by a 3600mAh battery. The phone will feature a fingerprint scanner, dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC. It will likely run Android 8.1 Oreo. This phone might also be a part of the Android One program like its predecessor.
Like the U11 Life, the U12 Life will also be an attempt by HTC to make a mark on the mid-range market. They might be able to accomplish that if they get the price right. The specs on this one are not the greatest, but they are not the worst either. The pricing of the HTC U12 Life should at least be $349 which is where the U11 Life started from. The date of launch is not yet revealed, but expect more news in the coming days.
