Galaxy Note 10 tops DxOMark’s new ‘Night’ and ‘Wide’ camera tests

Image
With ultra-wide cameras and dedicated Night shooting modes becoming more and more common on smartphones, DxOMark has finally caught up with market trends and updated its camera test scores to reflect a smartphone's low-light and ultra-wide imaging capabilities, and the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G has topped both categories and continues to be the best smartphone for still photos . The Note 10+ 5G tied with the Galaxy S10 5G and the Huawei P30 Pro in the Night score but maintained a solid 4-point lead in the Wide category over the closest rival, the Sony Xperia 1. DxOMark's updated Night camera test includes performance with the flash turned on and off, the flash set to auto, and with the dedicated Night mode if a smartphone has one. The Note 10+ 5G (and the Galaxy S10 5G) can expose faces nicely when the flash is turned on but has low dynamic range and detail. With the flash turned off, Samsung's flagship exposes night cityscapes pretty well but loses detail; in extreme low-light

While Samsung continues padding its Galaxy A (2019) mid-range smartphone lineup with new models like the Galaxy A30s and Galaxy A50s , the company is also laying down the foundations of its Galaxy A (2020) series and has seemingly done so for some time. The lineup could include up to nine models, according to a trademark filed a couple of months ago , and should accommodate devices such as the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71, both of which are now the subject of a fresh leak revealing their storage and color options. Galaxy A51 and A71 storage and color options emerge MySmartPrice recently reported on the Galaxy A51 and A71's storage and color options, and in the meantime, we've been able to confirm with our own sources that the information is correct. The Galaxy A51 will be identified by the model number SM-A515 and will launch with 64GB and 128GB of storage in silver, black, and blue. The Galaxy A71 will unsurprisingly carry the model number SM-A715 . The device will be off

Samsung hopes to boost its smartphone business in China with 5G phones

Image
Samsung has been reduced to a fringe player in the Chinese smartphone market with the company's market share dropping below 1% in recent quarters. The scale of its decline in the world's largest smartphone market can be gauged from the fact that the Korean company once used to hold around 20% market share there. Samsung has vowed to improve its performance on many occasions in the past, but none of its efforts have yielded any noticeable results yet. In what appears to be a new strategy, the company is now pinning its hopes on a diverse lineup of localized 5G devices to improve its smartphone business in the country. The Korean tech giant recently launched the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G in the country. It is also expected to release the Galaxy Fold in 5G flavor sometime next month. The company's China-exclusive premium flip phone will reportedly come with 5G capabilities as well. There are apparently a few other 5G models scheduled to hit the Chinese market this year. &qu

Galaxy M30s review: Samsung’s new value-for-money champion

Image
Samsung's Galaxy M series of phones has been a major success in the Indian market. The Galaxy M20 turned out to be the most value-for-money budget phone from the Korean giant, an answer to the incredible value propositions offered by Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi, and a giant battery (5,000 mAh) was one of the key features that set the Galaxy M20 apart. Later on, Samsung released the Galaxy M30, which brought a couple of upgrades, including a Super AMOLED display and an extra rear camera, over the Galaxy M20. Now, the Galaxy M30s has arrived as an upgraded Galaxy M30 , and Samsung has once again focused on battery capacity as one of the highlights. The Galaxy M30s has a 6,000 mAh battery under the hood, the biggest we've ever seen on any Galaxy phone, no matter which price segment it may fall in. The other notable feature on the M30s is a 48MP primary rear camera. That's nearly a 5x increase in the megapixel count over the M30 and higher than even the Galaxy A70. Th

Galaxy M10s goes official with AMOLED display, ultra-wide camera, $130 price tag

Image
Samsung launched the Galaxy M30s in India today and took the chance to quickly unveil the Galaxy M10s as well. The Galaxy M10s brings a handful of upgrades over the Galaxy M10 and could even be considered a cheaper Galaxy M20 going by the spec sheet. It's priced at Rs. 8,999 (~$130) and will go on sale from September 29 from Amazon India and Samsung's official store, just like the Galaxy M30s. The Galaxy M10s has a 6.4-inch HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display upfront with a waterdrop notch and is powered by the Exynos 7884B chipset. The M10 had the Exynos 7870 SoC, which was focused solely on efficiency, making the M10s' Exynos 7884B with its two high-performance Cortex-A73 cores a notable upgrade. The M10s has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage with a microSD slot for expansion – no other memory configuration will be offered. The Galaxy M10s also gets a larger battery. It has a 4,000 mAh battery and comes with support for 15W fast charging. At the back of the phone, the
