Samsung Working On A Foldable Gaming Smartphone Claims Patent

Samsung has confirmed that it will launch a foldable smartphone which is allegedly called the Galaxy F. The foldable phone along with the Galaxy S10 lineup is set to launch at the Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event which is scheduled for 20 February. A patent granted to Samsung suggests that except for the Galaxy F, the company is also working on a gaming oriented foldable phone.

Rise Of Gaming Phones

The mobile gaming sector is rapidly gaining pace. Gaming smartphones like Xiaomi Black Shark and Nubia Red Magic have proved a market for gaming-focused smartphones exist. Samsung is a competitive company and it apparently wants to get in on the booming industry. Being a leader in the field of technology, Samsung wants to take the gaming smartphones a step further and the freshly granted patent supports the same.

Patent Revelations

Samsung filed a patent for an unusual foldable smartphone with USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) in late 2017 which it was granted on 29 January 2019. The patent exhibits that the company is developing a futuristic gaming smartphone with flexible display and physical gaming buttons.

Surprisingly the gaming phone has a completely different type of folding mechanism. Unlike the Galaxy F, it has an outward folding display which indicates that Samsung is not limiting itself with one type of flexible phone. Notably, the phone also has a foldable gaming bar which consists of a four-way direction pad and six circular buttons which are aligned in two separate rows with three buttons each. The conceptualisation of the device is very intriguing as such controls would open a whole new world of mobile gaming possibilities.

Launch Date

Unfortunately, Samsung has not confirmed the existence of such a smartphone. Therefore, predicting the launch date of the device is not possible. However, more information about the device is expected to be available in the near future.

Samsung Breaks Terabyte Threshold for Smartphone Storage

The race has been heating up to increase storage on smartphones. Every smartphone manufacturer is trying to include more and more space due to the size of everything including music, photos, videos etc increasing. Turing Robotics Industries had introduced a phone with a whopping 12GB RAM and 1 TB space back in 2019. But the phone was big and hard to carry around. But latest Samsung news suggests that Samsung is finally breaking grounds and getting ready to introduce a 1TB storage on a smartphone. The company recently announced that it has begun mass producing the industry’s first one-terabyte (TB) embedded Universal Flash storage.

Features

Samsung suggests that customers will soon be able to enjoy similar storage capacities as a laptop on their smartphone. The technology used by the company can fit double the storage in the same package size (11.5mm x 13.0mm) as the 512GB.

This is done by combining 16 stacked layers of Samsung’s advanced 512-gigabit (Gb) V-NAND flash memory which are vertically stacked NAND cells thus increasing density but not changing in size. Samsung also claims that the new eUFS features approximately twice the sequential read speed of a typical 2.5-inch SATA solid state drive (SSD). They claim the sequential read speed to be 1,000 megabytes per second. This means that 5GB-sized full HD videos can be offloaded to an NVMe SSD in as fast as five seconds, according to Samsung. The random read speed has reportedly increased by up to 38 percent over the 512GB version, clocking in at up to 58,000 IOPS.

This may be a much needed upgrade as cameras on smartphones have started to get better sensors with more megapixels. The images shot with higher megapixel phone cameras are much larger in size, and with most phones these days being offered without expansion options, the 1 TB storage may be the perfect solution. Whether Samsung uses it on their upcoming flagship Samsung S10, we will have to wait and see.

The Samsung Galaxy M30, All You Need To Know

Succeeding the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy M10 and M20, Samsung’s Senior Vice President, Asim Warsi made a statement about the Samsung Galaxy M30. The third smartphone in the much anticipated series by Samsung, the M30 will release soon, as Asim said. Needless to say, Samsung fans are flipping out about it. Let’s have a look at the probable specifications which the Samsung Galaxy M30 will have to offer, because Samsung will definitely step the features up a notch

Design

The Samsung Galaxy M30 will be comparatively slimmer than the Galaxy M20. At 8.4 inches of thickness, it isn’t going to be the slimmest phone around. Hopefully, it will be still sleek enough to implant an impression. Sporting the same waterdrop notch as the other two models, the Galaxy M30 is expected to look like a premium smartphone.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy M30 is rumoured to have a 6.38 inch IPS LCD screen, with a high screen-to-body ratio. The resolution of the screen may be 2280 x 1080 px, but we can say nothing for sure as there have been some rumors of Samsung using Amoled panels for the M30.

Under The Hood

Though we have not confirmed the specs yet, the Samsung Galaxy M30 will run on the Samsung Exynos chipset, and will boast an octa-core processor. By the time the Samsung Galaxy M30 will be released, it will probably run Android 9.0 out-of-the-box.

Memory And Storage

The Galaxy M30 may be rolled out in two variants, a 4GB RAM version and a 6GB one, both with different storage options. MicroSD support will be present, of course, with expandable memory up to 512 GB.

Camera

The primary camera of the Galaxy M30 will support 2K video recording, according to rumours. We are yet to see the features that Samsung will bring to the camera, the front camera is most likely to be a 16 MP camera with HDR support.

Battery And Connectivity

We believe the Samsung Galaxy M30 will pack a non-removable 5000 mAh Li-Po battery with fast-charging support. It will have a Type-C 1.0 reversible connector, with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, just like the Galaxy M20.

Price And Availibility

Currently, we can make no speculations on the price of the device, but it is most likely to be priced below Rs. 20,000. It might be available in the same two colours, Ocean Blue and Charcoal Black.

Samsung Galaxy S10 To Get Celeb Alarm Feature

What if you could wake up by the sound of your favourite celebrity? It may be a dream come true for most people. Looks like Samsung is all set to make this wish come true for the buyers of their next device, the Galaxy S10. Samsung filed for patents on January 29 which show a feature named ‘Celeb Alarm’ which had the description as a ‘software for use in providing alarm services with voices of entertainers; downloadable ring tones and graphics for mobile phones.’

The feature seems like a novelty and may actually prove to be so; much like most of Samsung flagship’s from yesteryears. The company has tried to use a lot of gimmick to make their software stand out from the crowd, like the ugly, knockoff version of Animoji. Pulling the description of this feature apart, it is time to remember when Amazon Alexa offered the same feature.

Whose Voices Will It Have?

Which celebrity will grace the Galaxy S10’s Alarm clock is not yet known. But if past is any indication, there could be some big names in there. Considering Samsung’s reputation, a good list of movie stars may lend their voices to it. When Alexa launched this feature in the US, it had names like Alec Baldwin and Missy Elliot who did the talking for it.

Samsung has had tie ups with popular celebrities before, so it wouldn’t be the biggest deal ever. But there is no denying the fact that this feature is still a gimmick and wouldn’t be the sole reason to buy the device.

Samsung Galaxy M20 Vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Vs ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2, Spec Comparison

With the majority of millenials showing interest towards the sub-12k to 15k segment, the competition in the same is heated up right now. Top brands are releasing smartphones with better specs and lower prices each week, and to be fair, we can’t help but put them up against each other to see how they fall out as rivals. Samsung recently revealed their playmaker in the same segment, and it’s none other than the Samsung Galaxy M20. With specs that’ll give other phones a run for their money, let’s have a look at where the new Samsung Galaxy M20 stands with other popular phones in the sub-15k segment. For this spec comparison, we’re putting the Galaxy M20 against the hugely popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2. This is up to you to decide that which is the best budget smartphone under 15k in this segment.

Design

When it comes to design, it’s the most astute reason why a smartphone sells these days. Making a style statement is not just an option these days, its a necessity. That’s why all three of these phones have an extremely eye-catching design that stands out.

The Samsung Galaxy M20 sports a waterdrop notch, which also houses the front camera. The ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a trapezium-like notch, which doesn’t take up much space in the display. The Redmi Note 6 Pro, on the other hand, sports a wider notch that is larger than the other 2 phones.

Talking about the back panels, the Samsung Galaxy M20 has a plastic back, which actually gives a premium look. Similarly, the ASUS device has a laminated glossy plastic back. It looks good, but picks up smudges pretty easily. The Redmi Note 6 Pro is the only smartphone here which brings a metal back panel to the game. It has a smooth matte finish, making it a bit slippery, but good to hold and look at the same time.

Display

The Galaxy M20 brings the Samsung-developed PLS TFT capacitative screen to the table, with a size of 6.3 inches. The phone has a 83.6 percent screen-to-body ratio, which is higher as compared to the other two devices. With a resolution of 2340 x 1080 px, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a Pixel density of 409ppi, it clearly has an edge over the ASUS and Redmi devices.

The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has an 6. 2 inch IPS LCD, and a 82 percent screen-to-body ratio. With a slightly lower resolution at 2280 x 1080 px and 19:9 ratio, it matches the specs of the Redmi Note 6 Pro. The Galaxy M20, being the latest phone in the category, shows worthwhile improvements when it comes to display.

Under The Hood

Starting with the Samsung Galaxy M20, it packs an Exynos 7904 Octa chipset (14nm). Both the Zenfone and the Redmi devices, on the other hand, run on the Snapdragon SoC. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which houses an Octa-core CPU (4×2.2 GHz Kryo 260 & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 260).

The Redmi Note 6 Pro runs on a slightly older Snapdragon 636 SoC, with an Octa-core 1.8 GHz Kryo 260. While the Zenfone and the Redmi have Adreno GPUs, the Galaxy M20 has a Mali-G71 MP2 GPU.

Memory And Storage

All three smartphones are available in both 3 GB and 4 GB RAM variants, providing 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage variants respectively. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 is also available in a 3rd variant with 6GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which is saying something.

While the Redmi Note 6 Pro supports expandable storage up to 256 GB, both the M20 and Zenfone support microSD cards upto 512 GB. It’s interesting to note that the Zenfone and the Galaxy M20 both use dedicated memory card slots. The Redmi Note 6 Pro uses the slot for the SIM 2, so that’s something to point out here.

Camera

In an era of dual-camera setups, none of these smartphones disappoint. The Samsung Galaxy M20 has a 13 MP (f/1.9) primary camera, with a secondary ultra-wide 5 MP (f/2.2) camera with a depth sensor. It’s equipped with a 8 MP (f/2.0) front selfie camera. Both these cameras support HDR and can record videos at 1080p (30fps).

The Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a 12 MP (f/1.8) primary camera, along with a secondary 5 MP (f/2.2) camera, again with a depth sensor. In terms of the front camera, it has a 13 MP (f/2.0) front camera, which supports HDR and even has a LED flash. The best part about the Zenfone’s camera is the fact that it supports 2K recording, and 1080p recording at 60fps.

The Redmi Note 6 Pro sports a 12 MP (f/1.9) dual pixel primary camera, with a secondary 5 MP (f/.2.2) camera with a depth sensor. It has an amazing 20 MP (f/2.0) front camera with a secondary 2 MP front camera (with a depth sensor). It also supports recording at 1080p (30fps).

Battery, Connectivity and Features

Both the Samsung Galaxy M20 and the Zenfone Max Pro M2 pack a 5000 mAh battery, which is a bliss for those who use their phone on the heavy side. The Redmi Note 6 Pro has a 4000 mAh battery. A bit lower than its counterparts, but still enough to handle over a day’s worth of usage. The Samsung Galaxy M20 supports fast charging too.

All the devices have standard connectivity options, with the exception of an infrared port on the Redmi Note 6 Pro, which makes the device MI Remote compatible. The only device among these three which supports Type-C connectivity is the Galaxy M20, so that’s an added bonus. All three smartphones have rear-mounted fingerprint sensors.

The Samsung Galaxy M20 is available in two colours, Ocean Blue and Charcoal Black. Similarly, the Zenfone is also available in two colours, namely Blue and Titanium. The Redmi 6 Pro offers 4 different colour options. It’s available in Black, Blue, Rose Gold and Red.

Samsung Smart Clothing With Health Diagnosing Features

Samsung is a huge company. It also is one of the market leaders in innovation. There have been many industry firsts by Samsung which is what we have for you today. Samsung in 2017 applied for a patent at the World Intellectual Property Office or WIPO for short; for an ‘Electronic apparatus and method of controlling the same’. And it was of Samsung Smart Shirts with Health Diagnosing Features.

The patent was approved on January 24, 2019. The patent shows a Samsung Smart Shirt with sensors. These sensors help in diagnosing a person’s physical condition.

What this means is, that the shirt will also be able to scan the person’s lungs for any respiratory problems. The patents show sensors inside the shirt which can measure the breathing patterns of the users. The shirt will also be connected to a smartphone. The Smartphone will receive diagnostics and advices based on your condition.

This is not the first time Samsung has used or showcased smart wearable technology. In 2018 winter Olympics, Samsung showed off the Smartsuit. It was a wearable which skaters could wear to practice and train. The application for smart wearable is increasing every year; as more and more respiratory problems come to light.

Application of Such Technologies

The images were uploaded by Samsung on WIPO’s official site. These Images show the tech in action. Also, each side of the lung has 3 sensors which take the reading. Any irregularity in the breathing pattern or sounds from the lungs is notified. It seems like that Samsung is serious about user’s health. Most noteworthy use for this may be in training and sports.

There is also a patent for infants and kids which could be useful. One possible way to do it is to make the fabric comfortable to wear. The sensors also will have to be big enough to fit. It is not known if Samsung will release the product. Maybe they will only bring it out for the athletes. Or maybe they would bring a consumer version of it.

Finally, It seems like an interesting technology by Samsung. But it is yet to be seen if this makes it to the shelves.

Samsung Galaxy M20

The Galaxy M20 takes an entirely different approach than what we have seen Samsung doing. Samsung Galaxy M20 is the first smartphone from the brand to sport a notch. The notch is a teardrop design which is considered the least intrusive among the other notches. Other than that, there is a small chin at the front, giving it an all screen look. The phone boasts of a modern design, with a blend of good specifications and an aggressive price to boot.

Design

The M10 has tapered edges which go along really well with the rounded edges on the screen itself. And as mentioned before, the waterdrop notch is a nice touch too. The device dedicates the right side to the volume rockers and the power/lock button, freeing up a lot of space on the left side, which houses the SIM cards and memory card slot. The Galaxy M10 has a micro-USB port at the bottom. It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is placed right next to the charging port.

Overall, the Galaxy M10 manages to pull off an impressive look while keeping the budget in check.

Display

With bezel-less displays in fashion, the Galaxy M10 surely does its part of living up to the trend.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy M10 is packed with a 3400 mAh Li-ion battery. The Samsung Exynos 7870 promises better power management, so the device battery should be just fine for carrying out a day’s tasks. The device, however, does not support fast charging.

Connectivity And Other Features

The device has dual-sim support, with 4G LTE support. Interestingly, both the SIM cards and the memory card are placed in a single tray, that is present on the the left side of the device.

Samsung Will Now Use Eco-Friendly Materials For Its Packaging

Samsung Electronics on Sunday announced in a blog post that it would replace plastic packaging with Eco-Friendly materials. The company said that it will start taking steps this year to replace plastic packaging materials with paper and other environmentally sustainable elements.

In their blog post, Samsung wrote, “From the first half of 2019, the packaging used currently for Samsung’s products and accessories – ranging from mobile phones and tablets to home appliances – will be substituted with environmentally sustainable materials like recycled/bio-based plastics and paper.”

This makes Samsung one of the only companies to start an initiative like this one to help save the environment. The company also said that the plastic bags used to protect the surface of home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines as well as other kitchen appliances will be replaced with bags containing recycled materials and bioplastics, which are made from plastic wastes and non-fossil fuel materials like starch or sugar cane respectively.

“Samsung Electronics is stepping up in addressing society’s environmental issues such as resource depletion and plastic wastes,” said Gyeong-bin Jeon, head of Samsung’s Global Customer Satisfaction Center. “We are committed to recycling resources and minimizing pollution coming from our products. We will adopt more environmentally sustainable materials even if it means an increase in cost.” Samsung said in the post.

Samsung plans that by next year, it will only use Eco-Friendly packaging materials certified by forestry initiatives by next year. By 2030, Samsung aims to use 500 thousand tons of recycled plastics and collect 7.5 million tons of discarded products (both cumulative from 2009).
