  • Samsung Patents A Distinctive Smartphone With Display On Front And Back

    Samsung Patents A Distinctive Smartphone With Display On Front And Back

    Ever since the race to a bezel-less smartphone started in the year 2016, major OEMs have tried to innovate unique solutions in a bid to maximise the screen real estate in their devices. Along the way, unconventional technologies like a display notch as seen in the iPhone X series, hole punch displays as seen in the Galaxy S10 lineup and dual displays present in Vivo Nex Dual Display and the Nubia X, have surfaced in current smartphones. A fresh patent filed by Korean electronics giant Samsung reveals it is working on a new way to increase the screen to body ratio in future handsets. 

    Samsung Dual Display Smartphone

    Samsung filed for a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the aforementioned smartphone back in October of 2016. It was approved and published in the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) database on the 25th of April 2019. The images in the patent reveal a mobile device with an alleged ‘Multi-Plane Display’. This essentially means a device with a display on the front and back which can be controlled simultaneously.

    The aforementioned patent by Samsung shows a smartphone with three different parts of the display. The front of the device is entirely covered by a screen. This screen or display extends to the top of the handset and goes on to cover around 75 percent of the back of the device. While the main display seems folded, it might not need to open and close like the Galaxy Fold foldable smartphone. The patents also reveal a home button inside the display, which might provide haptic feedback when pressed. Samsung’s Dual Display smartphone, when launched may also feature a single camera sensor on the back side of the device. As there are displays on either side, images and videos can be clicked or recorded from the front as well as the back of the handset.

    As far as the usability of Samsung’s Dual Display Smartphone is concerned, the patents reveal the device will use hand gestures to control the User Interface of the handset. A similar operation method was implemented in the LG G8 ThinQ launched back in the month of February. The display on the top may be limited to notifications while the rear panel may be used for taking selfies and using the smartphone with one hand. Unfortunately, no details about the release date and pricing of the device are available yet, but they are expected to be unveiled in the following weeks.

  • Samsung Galaxy Fit e Spotted on Albanian Website Ahead Of Launch

    Samsung Galaxy Fit e Spotted on Albanian Website Ahead Of Launch

    At Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event held in February 2019, the company announced a multitude of devices, which included the Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Watch Active and last but not least, a fitness band which will cater to the entry-level budget segment. Called the Galaxy Fit-e, the band is a very basic fitness tracker that is available at a very low cost as compared to similar products by the company. However the fitness band contains no “smartwatch features”, and was recently spotted on an Albanian Website.

    As per reports, the Samsung Galaxy Fit-e was previously supposed to be launched on May 21 in the United States, hence the fitness tracking suddenly appearing on Samsung’s Albanian website is probably a mistake. Moreover, the fact that the buying links on the website are not functioning at all gives a confirmation of sorts that this page may not be intended after all. 

    Features And Specifications

    Nonetheless, the listed specifications of the Galaxy Fit-e informs that the fitness band runs on the FreeRTOS operating system. It features a monochrome PMOLED display panel, which is expected out of an aggressively priced fitness band. It sports Bluetooth v5.0, and packs a 70 mAh battery which enables the Fit-e to last an entire week, the company claims. It measures at 40.2 x 16 mm and weighs 15 grams.

    Additional features of the Fit-e include the ability to analyze sleep patterns, detection of the sport being pursued and collecting related data. Also, the band detects the pulse rate and relays the corresponding data to the connected smartphone via the health application. Moreover, the fitness band can inform the user regarding any incoming calls or messages on the smartphone. It does so haptically or via an optic notification that pops up on the monochrome display. The Galaxy Fit-e is available in two colours on the Albanian website, Black and Yellow. As per the same website, the band is priced at a price equivalent to US$ 35, which will help it to go up against other fitness trackers like the Mi Band. 

  • Verizon Confirms The Galaxy Note 10 Will Support 5G Networks

    Verizon Confirms The Galaxy Note 10 Will Support 5G Networks

    Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone OEM, released the Galaxy S10 5G at the Galaxy Unpacked event back in February. The device was announced alongside the rest of the Galaxy S10 lineup and the Galaxy Fold. It holds the distinction of being the company’s first smartphone to support 5G, the next generation of mobile networks. It seems like the company is ready for its second smartphone supporting 5G, as a senior executive at Verizon, one of the biggest telecommunications company in the US; has announced the next Galaxy Note, presumably called the Galaxy Note 10 will have support for 5G networks.

    What Is 5G?
    Galaxy S10 5G

    The 5th Generation or 5G for short is the next step in the growth of mobile networks. It is the successor of 4G LTE, whose standards were first introduced back in the year 2008. The next generation of mobile connectivity promises many advantages over its predecessors, including faster uplink/downlink speeds and little to no latency. One more benefit of 5G is the increased number of supported devices at a time, due to increased bandwidth.

    Qualcomm X55 5G Modem

    Currently, not many smartphones have promised support for 5G, possibly due to the gradual and slow rollout of the technology around the world. Only a handful of devices, like the aforementioned Galaxy S10 5G, LG V50 ThinQ and the Huawei Mate X among others support 5G networks. To make room for the modem supporting this mobile connectivity standard, manufacturers have had to remove essential components such as the 3.5mm headphone jack and the microSD card slot from some of the above-mentioned handsets. Noteworthy, 5G networks are notorious for generating more heat than traditional 4G LTE networks. This leads to the installation of various space taking cooling systems inside the smartphones to maintain efficiency and speeds.

    While the senior Verizon executive has announced the support for 5G networks in the Galaxy Note 10, it is rumoured more than one variant of the smartphone will be launched later this year. While only one of them may support 5G connectivity, key details of all the variants will remain the same. A bigger display than the Galaxy S10+ which is reported to be a 6.6 inch Dynamic AMOLED one will be featured in the next generation of Galaxy Note. Like the former, it may also have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner inside the display; and run on either the 7nm Snapdragon 855 SoC or the Exynos 9820 depending on the region it is sold in. Unfortunately, more details about the handset are unknown at the moment. Going by the Samsung’s previous launch records, the company may announce the Galaxy Note 10 late August or early September this year.

  • Samsung Confirms It Is Delaying Release Of The Galaxy Fold Owing To Display Issues

    Samsung Confirms It Is Delaying Release Of The Galaxy Fold Owing To Display Issues

    Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone OEM released its first foldable smartphone at the Galaxy Unpacked event in the month of February. Called the Galaxy Fold, the device boasts of breakthrough hardware, which allowed the handset to be folded into half. While the company claimed the smartphone will be released on April 26, reports of it not being durable enough surfaced online a few days ago.

    Some early review units of the Galaxy Fold were found to have display issues which drew in negative sentiments toward the device. Due to the aforementioned problems, the company was speculated to delay the pre-announced release date. In a press release, Samsung has confirmed it is postponing the release of the much-anticipated smartphone to fix the display malfunctions.

    Samsung’s Statement

    Samsung in a press release has confirmed the reports floating online since yesterday. The company claims in its initial findings from the inspection of the Galaxy Fold, the display issue was found to be associated with an impact on top and bottom areas of the exposed part of the hinge. Notably, the hinge in the centre of the folding smartphone provides it with the said folding functionality. The company also notes that it found an instance where some substance was found inside the device, eventually leading the display to malfunction.

    While the above findings were fundamental, Samsung claims it will need more time to fully evaluate the feedbacks noted by early reviewers. The company will run internal tests and find measures to further strengthen the display protection. As many problems were faced due to lack of guidance on the care of the display, it will also issue proper instructions so that the customers don’t inflict damage on their smartphone. For the users who have pre-booked the device, their spot and claim to the handset will be reserved.

    Some Early Galaxy Fold Units Already Breaking For Reviewers

    Samsung released the ambitious Galaxy Fold at its Unpacked event in San Fransisco on February 20. It is the first foldable smartphone from the company and offers an innovative design. While the company announced the handset will be available for customers starting April 26, early review units were provided to a few journalists in the US. Fresh reports have surfaced that a few of the review units have already started breaking for some reviewers.

    The Issue

    The first reports of the Samsung Galaxy Fold breaking for some reviewers started arriving on Wednesday. A noted journalist from media house Bloomberg tweeted a photo of his smartphone with the inside display not functioning completely. After that, many more reviewers stepped forward and reported they were facing a similar issue wherein the display on the inside stopped functioning. At the time, it was unclear if it was a hardware issue or physical damage was inflicted on the handset. A few people even reported facing issues of dents or physical damage to the screen just by opening and closing the folding mechanism.

    The Cause

    While it didn’t apply for everyone, the major cause for the display malfunction was later reported to be the removal of the outer screen protector that was applied to the inside display. Samsung mentioned in the instructions the protective film shouldn’t be removed under any circumstances as it may lead to the smartphone malfunctioning. However, some cases wherein the layer have not been removed the device still faced issues in the inside display. This was later attributed to malfunctioning of the hinge that facilitated the folding mechanism.

The statement also advised not removing the additional protective layer or add any adhesives to the main display as it may cause damage to the smartphone. Samsung has claimed it will issue this information clearly to the customers of the Galaxy Fold so that no more confusion is caused. Because of this issue, the company was expected to push back the release date of the smartphone. However, the company has clarified it will be moving forward with the launch on the aforementioned date.

  • Samsung Korea May Be Responsible For ASML Software Theft

    Samsung Korea May Be Responsible For ASML Software Theft

    As per latest news, Chinese software organisations were accused of stealing software from ASML, which is one of the world’s biggest manufacturer of computing chips. The Chinese government was also accused of state espionage, although the CEO of ASML, Peter Wennink denied such claims. In an interview aired on Dutch Television on April 16 2019, Peter Wennink revealed that the Chinese government is not the one to be blamed in this scenario, instead, ASML’s biggest Korean customer is responsible for this data theft. 

    Details Of The Data Theft

    There is no doubt that ASML’s “biggest Korean customer” is Samsung. Even though the CEO did not want to call out Samsung by name, he claimed that he discovered the aforementioned information after hiring an external agency to investigate the case of espionage. Upon drawing further conclusions, it was found out that the case is directly related to ordinary business espionage, not state espionage. Ex-Chinese employees have illegally forged the company’s software to develop their own company in order to compete with ASML itself.

    The forgery motives weren’t just limited to compete with ASML, rather the minds behind this theft are planning to manufacture cheap knock-offs to Samsung smartphones. Further reports state that the involved spies are of Chinese origin, but currently hold American nationality. The new company developed by the accused employees is called “Xtal”, and it is also set up in the United States.

    The software was initially required to set up machines that could manufacture chips in optimum amounts as per production requirement. In the year 2016, Samsung claimed a 30% share in the aforementioned organization, Xtal,  and consequently, ASML lost a valuable customer for that particular software in the form of Samsung. As of now, Samsung is ASML’s major client, but this may change in the light of any future revelations.

Like the previously announced Galaxy A50, the device has an in-display fingerprint sensor for securely unlocking the handset.

    The Galaxy A80 runs on the newly announced 8nm Snapdragon 730G SoC. The chipset has an Octa-core CPU and the Adreno 618 GPU. In terms of optics, the smartphone, as mentioned above has an innovative sliding, rotating triple camera setup. This offers the device the capability of capturing images and videos from the front as well as the rear of the handset. The setup consists of an f/2.0 aperture equipped 48MP sensor; combined with an f/2.2 aperture equipped 8MP sensor and a 3D Time of Flight (ToF) sensor for capturing depth information. Talking about memory and storage, the Galaxy A80 has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. 

    The Galaxy A80 smartphone is powered by a 3700 mAh battery which supports fast charging up to 25W. The device runs on the latest OneUI by Samsung on top of the current Android 9 Pie. It is available in three colour variants, namely Phantom Black, Angel Gold and Ghost White.

    While the Galaxy A80 will be available for sale globally starting May 28, it may be launched sooner in India, according to our sources. It is also known that Samsung will price the smartphone under Rs. 40,000. The company may initially sell the device in limited quantities. This is because it is sceptical of the reception a smartphone with mechanical parts will receive. Noteworthy, similar handsets from Oppo and Vivo were not highly successful because of the presence of moving parts.
