New Galaxy Fold reportedly has an 8-inch display with S Pen

-

Samsung hasn't even released the first-generation Galaxy Fold and already there's a report about its successor. A Korean news outlet is reporting that Samsung's new Galaxy Fold will feature an 8-inch display with S Pen support. This device is expected to arrive early next year.

The company itself hasn't said anything about a Galaxy Fold successor at this point in time. It hasn't even confirmed when the Galaxy Fold, which was due to come out in April, is going to be released. It would certainly be best to take this with a grain of salt for now.

New Galaxy Fold reportedly has 8-inch display with S Pen

The report claims that Samsung is working on the second-generation Galaxy Fold which features a larger 8-inch internal display and has S Pen support. It retains the same in-folding form factor as the first-generation Galaxy Fold. The company has reportedly asked its component suppliers to make S Pen parts for the new foldable smartphone.

It doesn't mention anything about the cover display. The Galaxy Fold has a 4.6-inch external display which lets you use the device normally without folding out the primary display. The report doesn't say if the new Galaxy Fold will get a larger cover display as well. At 8-inches, the foldable display will be considerably larger than the Galaxy Fold's 7.3-inch panel. It's also claimed that Samsung could unveil this device by the end of this year and release it by early 2020. As previously mentioned, Samsung has said nothing so far to suggest that it has a second foldable smartphone due for launch before the end of this year.

Nobody will be willing to invest in a second-generation Galaxy Fold unless Samsung proves that it has addressed the obvious issues that caused it to delay the first foldable smartphone's launch. Since it would keep the same form factor, one would be right to assume that it could face similar issues as well. That would only become evident once Samsung releases the device and it still hasn't confirmed when that will happen. Many of its fans have wanted to see S Pen support on the foldable device. It does remain a possibility for future models. It may just make sense when the internal display is a proper tablet-sized.

Rumors about Samsung working on more foldable smartphones have been around for quite a few months now. A recent report claimed that it's building a clamshell-like device which folds its 6.7-inch OLED display on a horizontal axis. The company was also said to be considering an outward-folding form factor, similar to that of the Huawei Mate X for a future device.

It's safe to say that Samsung will release more foldable smartphones in the future. However, it has a lot to prove with the first-generation Galaxy Fold before it can start selling people on the next one.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
