Galaxy A51 5G indirectly confirmed for South Korea, has Exynos 980 SoC

-

We've exclusively reported more than three months ago that Samsung could launch a 5G-enabled Galaxy A51 in South Korea. Our expectations have now been further confirmed by Samsung itself, as an official support page for the device – model number SM-A516N – went live on the South Korean portal.

Although the SM-A516N is the only Galaxy A51 5G variant to receive an early support page, we have reasons to believe that the smartphone will also be released outside of Korea.

An international variant bearing the model number SM-A516B should also be in development, but no support pages for it have gone live yet. As for the United States, there's little evidence to support a stateside release at the moment, but this remains subject to change.

The Galaxy A51 5G features the Exynos 980 chipset

The Galaxy A51 5G destined for South Korea was also spotted in Geekbench last month. It boasts the Exynos 980 SoC, interestingly enough. This is the company's first chipset to integrate a 5G modem. It was unveiled last summer, and two months after the initial announcement, it was first adopted by the Vivo X30.

The benchmark also revealed 6GB of RAM, though an 8GB variant could also be in the works, given the higher RAM-requirements of 5G and the fact that the LTE Galaxy A51 – which we've reviewed a couple of months ago – has an 8GB memory option.

As you would expect, the Galaxy A51 5G will ship with Android 10 out of the box, making it eligible to receive two additional major OS updates including Android 12.

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster. And because add-ons work the same across web and Android, you only need to install them once to access them on all of your devices. Click the settings wheel on the top right of your inbox and then "Get add-ons" to get started. We made Gmail Add-ons available in developer p

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
