Samsung has launched the Galaxy S10e at the Galaxy Unpacked event which was held in San Francisco. It is the most affordable smartphone in the latest Galaxy S10 lineup unveiled by Samsung. Two other flagship smartphones that the company has unveiled include the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10.
Specifications And Design
The Samsung Galaxy S10e has an opulent design with an all-glass front and rear build. The smartphone measures 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm and tips the scale at 150 gram. The right side of the of the device is occupied by the power button while the left side is occupied by volume rockers and a dedicated Bixby button. The bottom of the device houses the 3.5mm audio jack, loudspeaker grille and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer. The smartphone is also IP68 certified which makes it dust and waterproof.

The device is safeguarded from scratches and accidental drops by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The company has launched the smartphone with two different chipset options which vary as per the region the units are sold in. The EMEA variant is kitted with Exynos 9820 SoC while the USA, China variant features the Snapdragon 855 SoC.
The Samsung Galaxy S10e is equipped with a dual camera module on the back. The rear camera setup consists of a 12 MP (f/1.5-f/2.4) primary camera paired with a 16 MP (f/2.2) ultra wide camera sensor.

The Samsung Galaxy A30 will have a glossy plastic body. The smartphone will feature a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED, Infinity-U display with a full HD+ resolution. Apart from that, the screen of the Galaxy A30 will also have the ‘Always-On’ feature. As the name suggests, this feature keeps the screen awake for displaying notifications like messages and missed call alerts. The smartphone will run on the 14nm Exynos 7904 chipset with a 1.8 GHz octa-core processor and the Mali-G71 MP2 GPU. The Galaxy A30 will be equipped with a 16 MP (f/1.9) primary sensor with a secondary 5 MP (f/2.2) ultra wide sensor. It will also have a front facing 16 MP (f/1.9) camera. Furthermore, the Galaxy A30 will have a plethora of other features such as AR Stickers, Background Blur and Pro Lighting.
The Samsung Galaxy A50 will be the most feature laden smartphone out of the three upcoming devices. The smartphone’s highlighting feature is an in-display fingerprint scanner which is slowly becoming the industry standard for premium smartphones. The device will run on the Exynos 9610 chipset which consists of an octa-core CPU and the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU.
The P30 will help Huawei to establish a foothold in the premium smartphone segment this year. For the same reason, the handset is expected to offer top-of-the-line specifications in the market. Leaked renders suggest that the P30 will feature a glass-sandwich design. The smartphone will reportedly have a waterdrop-style notch and have a high screen-to-body ratio. Renders also show the presence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the device, which is an appreciable add-on from the Huawei P20. Like its predecessor, the device may have a similar gradient pattern on the back. 
The Huawei P30 will supposedly run on the latest 7 nm HiSillicon Kirin 980 SoC, which features an octa-core processor and the Mali G76 GPU. Furthermore, a ‘pro’ version of the smartphone is also expected to be launched at the same event. The Huawei devices will reportedly have up to 8GB RAM and up to 256 GB of Internal storage.
The camera will undoubtedly be the highlight of the Huawei P30, because the Chinese company has already proved its capabilities with the Mate 20 Pro. The leaked images suggest that the Huawei P30 Pro will boast of a quad camera set up at the back, whereas the P30 will have a triple camera module. Although the specifications of the camera sensors are not available yet, both the devices are expected to feature a 40MP primary camera sensor. As reported previously, the second and the third camera will be the 3x optical zoom sensor and the ultra wide angle sensor respectively. The 
The ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a strong contender in the budget segment. The device has a 6.2 inch IPS LCD with 82% screen-to-body ratio. Running Android 8.1 (Oreo) out-of-the-box, the handset packs a Snapdragon 660 chipset and is available with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB RAM options. The smartphone has a 12 MP + 5 MP dual camera setup, with a 13 MP front camera and a selfie flash. A huge 5000 mAh battery powers the device.
The LG G7 ThinQ was launched in May 2018, so its a fairly recent addition to LG’s Smartphone Lineup. The smartphone has a 6.1 inch LCD display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a high pixel density of 564 ppi. Running on the Snapdragon 845 chipset, the smartphone has a dual 16 MP + 16 MP primary camera module with laser autofocus. The device is sold in 2 different variants, and is available in 4 colour options.
The Oppo F9 Pro has a 6.3 inch IPS LCD with a 2340 x 1080 px resolution. The device packs a Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60 SoC and 4GB or 6GB of RAM. In terms of camera, the device has a 16 MP + 2 MP dual primary camera module, with a single 25 MP selfie shooter. The device is powered by a 3500 mAh battery with 20 W fast charging. Available in Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue and Starry Purple, the device runs Android 8.1 (Oreo).

It is possible that the Moto Z users in the US can get their hands on the 5G Moto Mod by the end of March 2019. However, the 5G Moto Mod will only be compatible with the Moto Z3 at the time of its initial launch. But reports say that the support for the accessory will also be extended to the Moto Z2. Data transfer speeds via 5G are expected to be 10 times more than today’s wireless technology. Also, Ultra-low latency provided by the mod will significantly bump up the VR and AR experience. Users will also be able to distribute their bandwidth over different devices via Wi-Fi Hotspot functionality of the device.
The option will enable users to tap on the @username in the main app feed to pop up the profile which they intend to view. It can be a very helpful feature. Not all accounts on Twitter have relevant usernames which can tell a user more about the person. Also, if the user clicks on a person’s avatar/username, they are taken to the profile page, interrupting whatever they were originally doing. Instead, the new feature will act just like the ‘mouseover’ option which can be experienced on the Twitter desktop website. Users will get an option to follow the person or interact with other options on the profile. 
Potential users have recurring thoughts regarding the purchase of a dedicated music streaming service. Some users still prefer YouTube to listen to music, but that’s not very convenient as many of them will agree. For instance, you cannot minimize the YouTube app while playing a song. Doing so cuts off the music, so you have to keep the app awake at all times. This means that your battery drain is significant. Also, music applications don’t go very hard on your data plan, whereas 720p YouTube streaming consumes almost 1 GB per hour. Using YouTube for your music needs may be more hassle-free, but certainly not the best possible solution
Let’s not forget that Apple brought iPods into the market, changing the way music was played everywhere. Apple music is built on top of a similar infrastructure that focuses more on the ‘ease-of-use’ aspect than anything else. Agreed, it’s not the cheapest music streaming subscription out there, but it offers much more for the price what people pay. 
Amazon Prime Music was primarily launched in India with the motive of an Amazon Alexa integration. Eventually, Prime Music made its way on to newer platforms like iOS, Web, and Android. Amazon Prime also provides services for streaming movies and online shopping worldwide. The music streaming service has a huge music library with over 30 million tracks. Amazon Prime Music is also known for its seamless music playback over its popular voice assistant, Alexa. A person can easily manage playlists, queue songs and play/pause music using just voice commands. Prime music has full Chromecast support, unlike Prime Video. 
From a long time, the search giant has been trying to strengthen its foothold in the Indian Music Streaming service. The Google Play Music App is preinstalled on every Android phone, so almost every user notices the app one way or another. With competitive pricing, Google Play Music offers the solution of a single app for both online and offline music. It comes with both free and premium subscriptions, but the free version is limited to only Indian songs and radio stations. Once you start paying for a subscription, you’ll have access to a complete music catalog with a whole lot of international music and content.
Two popular music apps, JioMusic & Saavn Music integrated to launch the JioSaavn app on December 4. The app brought a host of features like interactive lyrics and live events to the user’s device. A lot of people confuse Saavn with an Indian app, but it was actually designed by two Indians in the US.
The music streaming service has a ad-based revenue model, but if you’re interested in downloading songs and getting rid of the advertisements at the same time, you can opt for the premium subscription. It offers an interactive UI with a Facebook integration, allowing you and your friends to see what you are listening to. You can adjust the music streaming quality as per your data connection. The application has a nice language filter which you can use to receive recommendations depending upon your selected region.
Gaana was one of the earliest music streaming apps in India. Launched in 2010, the app had one of the largest music databases at that time. Over time, the minimal interface of Gaana was taken over by new features like on-screen lyrics and social media integration. Still, to this day, Gaana Music has one of the largest Indian Regional Music databases when compared to similar apps. Sure, it does have a wide selection of International music too, but it isn’t as extensive as its competitors.
As seen above, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ racked up an impressive single core score of 4,450, with its multi core score hitting 9,753. If us compare this score to its probable competitors, we find that the Huawei Mate 20 had a score 3,390 in single-core performance and 10,318 in its multi core performance. Furthermore, the iPhone XS had the highest single core score at 4,797 and a multi core score of 11,269.
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ hit an Antutu score of 3,26,185. This places it at the top of the Antutu Android Performance Ranking Chart, right above the Huawei Mate 20 which scored 3,03,903 in the test. However, the iPhone XS is still the top performer in the Antutu benchmarking list as well. It has the highest Antutu score at 3,58,317.
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ will reportedly have a 6.3 inch Infinity-O display with Corning Gorilla Glass Protection. The Dynamic AMOLED screen is expected to have a resolution of 3040 x 1440 px with HDR+ support. The Galaxy S10+ will supposedly run on the Snapdragon 855 for US & Latin variants, while it may be available with the Exynos 9820 chipset for the other variants. It is expected that the device will feature world’s first Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor.
The smartphone is expected to be equipped with a triple rear camera setup, with 12MP+12MP+16MP sensors. The device will supposedly be available in three different variants, a 6GB+128GB variant, 8GB+512GB version, and a top 12GB+1TB limited edition variant. The Galaxy S10+ is likely to be powered by a 4100 mAh battery with support for Fast Charging. Reportedly, the device will launch in three different colours, Prism White, Prism Black, and Prism Green. The Limited Edition variant, however, may be available in Luxurious Ceramic Black & Luxurious Ceramic White.

The Galaxy A10 will be available with a plastic body, and a 6.2-inch Infinity-V display with HD+ resolution. The device will have a 5 MP front facing camera, and a 13 MP primary camera. The phone will pack the Exynos 7884B chipset with an octa-core CPU clocked at 1.6GHz. The handset will have 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.
The Samsung Galaxy A50 is the top variant out of the three devices in the new A series. The highlighting feature of this smartphone will be its in-display fingerprint sensor, which is the norm for any high-end smartphone these days. It will have a triple camera setup on the back, and a 25 MP front facing selfie camera. The triple camera setup would consist of a 25MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture, a 5MP depth sensor, and an 8MP fixed-focus ultra-wide camera with f/2.4 aperture.
Basically, the entire OLED display of the device acts as a diaphragm, so the entire screen will vibrate to produce sound. In case you switch your phone to speakerphone mode, however, the sound will be produced through the speakers at the bottom. LG claims that this technology can work perfectly in smartphones, the same way it worked in LG TVs. Crystal Sound OLED technology boosts every musical note you hear while improving sound clarity at the same time. Also, the device has the capability to generate dual channel audio by using the bottom speaker & the display together.

For mobility, the device can be folded so that the display gets shifted to the inside. This will ensure the protection of the display, as the screen won’t be scratched or broken while carrying the device. According to your convenience, the smartphone can be folded all the way back, so that you can use one single display just like a regular smartphone.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for a device like this which could combine elegance and mobility into one single foldable smartphone. Samsung may or may not release any information about its foldable device anytime soon, but if it does so, we’ll have to wait for the MWC 2019 for that.
As mentioned before, The Motorola P40 will pack Samsung’s very own 10nm Exynos 9610 octa-core SoC. The device will probably be available in three different RAM & storage options, most likely in 3GB + 32GB, 4GB + 64GB and 4GB + 128GB. The Moto smartphone will sport a 48 MP primary camera.
Sources say that the Motorola P40 will have a punch hole display design, with a single front camera. Since the P30 was an Android One device, we can expect the same offering from the Motorola P40. The smartphone is also rumoured to support NFC technology, unlike the P30.
