Galaxy A90 5G finally breaks cover in latest leak

Image
We first reported two months ago that there's a new Galaxy A series device in the pipeline . The Galaxy A90 will be Samsung's first non-flagship 5G smartphone with high-end specs. Samsung hasn't said anything about such a device as yet. There has been a lot of circumstantial evidence lately about this device but it has finally broken cover in a new leak out. We can see the Galaxy A90 5G in what appears to be promotional material for the device. As expected, the design isn't all that different compared to the existing Galaxy A series. Latest leak finally shows off the Galaxy A90 5G From what we know so far, the Galaxy A90 bears model number SM-A908N and will work on 5G networks. It will most likely feature a triple camera system with a 48-megapixel primary sensor hooked up to an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and 5-megapixel depth sensor. The camera system will be mounted on a sliding and rotating contraption like the Galaxy A80 . There has also been some talk about an &qu

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 review: A compact Note for those who want one

Image
So, the Galaxy Note 10. Who is it for? Why does it exist? Everyone had those questions when Samsung made the Note 10 and Note 10+ official. Samsung told us the Note 10 is for newcomers to the Note family, those who want to see what the S Pen is all about without spending on the Note 10+, which comes at a $150 premium over its smaller sibling. And newcomers are certainly the primary target, since the Note 10 misses out on both a microSD slot and a headphone jack, something Note (and Galaxy) loyalists have come to take for granted. Is the Note 10 worthy of your consideration, or should you just save up and go for the Galaxy Note 10+ or perhaps opt for the Galaxy Note 9 from last year? That's the question I will answer in this review. However, before we get started, I need to point out that this isn't a full-fledged review. Since the Galaxy Note 10 is similar to the Galaxy Note 10+ in many aspects, I will be keeping many sections of this review short and focusing only on what

Exclusive: New Galaxy Fold may be more affordable, feature 256GB storage

Image
Samsung will finally release the Galaxy Fold in the next few weeks but there's already some interest in the handset's successor. The company's first foldable smartphone has been through a rollercoaster ride ever since it was first introduced earlier this year. Samsung has addressed the issues which delayed the April launch and is now confident that it will be able to live up to expectations . We've heard multiple times over the past few months that Samsung is working on new foldable smartphones as well. It's believed to be considering different form factors and may also launch a more affordable model as not everyone will be willing to spend $2,000 on a smartphone. We hear that one of the ways that Samsung might bring the price down is by opting for lower internal storage on the new Galaxy Fold. New Galaxy Fold could come with 256GB internal storage The original Galaxy Fold comes with 512GB of UFS 3.0 storage . Samsung gave this device the best of everything.

Exclusive: Galaxy S11 storage options will leave you spoiled for choice

Image
It may still be too soon to talk about the Galaxy S11 but we have received some interesting information about the flagship that we'd like to pass along. It appears that customers will be spoiled for choice when deciding how much internal storage they want on their Galaxy S11. Samsung is going to offer four internal storage options for the Galaxy S11 series, which will unquestionably include multiple models. We hear that the options will range from 128GB all the way up to a whopping 1TB. Galaxy S11 storage options It has technically been possible to have a terabyte of storage in your Samsung smartphone for a couple of years now. A 512GB Galaxy Note 9 coupled with a 512GB microSD card would yield the same result. However, a terabyte of internal storage will be nothing to scoff at. It may ostensibly be super-fast UFS 3.0 storage. That's the standard Samsung chose for the Galaxy Note 10's internal storage . There's a good chance that we may also get UFS 3.0 stora

Here’s the first pics of Sony’s next Xperia flagship

Image
Sony Mobile will be launching new hardware at the IFA 2019 tradeshow on 5 September at 1pm CEST (12pm BST). That shouldn't be much of a surprise, Sony has launched new Xperia handsets at the Berlin-based tradeshow for as long as we can remember. What we are able to share are the first pics of the latest Xperia flagship. You can see that it sports a similar 21:9 form factor as the Xperia 1, as well as a triple-camera set up – although the location of the latter has moved from the middle to the top left. Judging from the photos, Sony has kept the dedicated camera button, with other button placement similar to the Xperia 1, including the recessed fingerprint sensor. The specs of the Xperia 1 successor remain a mystery for now, but 5G could be on the cards, with Sony showcasing a number of prototypes earlier in the year. As soon as we have any further information we will keep you posted. #Google #Android #Smartphones #OS #News @ndrdnws #ndrdnws #AndroidNews
