Speaking of DeX mode, it offers what it is actually the acronym for, “Desktop Experience”. With the help of built-in USB C port, the screen can be mirrored to an external display or the device itself that mimics a conventional notebook computer experience with a mouse pointer.

To further enhance the Gaming prowess on the Galaxy Tab S6, Samsung has equipped the OS with Game Booster which as the name suggests provides the best possible gaming experience. The feature functions by minimising background process and smartly allocating the available resources to run the game. Also, this mode can be used to block any incoming calls while playing a game. Unfortunately, Samsung has done away with the 3.5 mm audio jack on the tablet and users either need to rely on a pair of Bluetooth headphones or use a USB C to 3.5 mm adapter.

Last but not least, the S Pen on the Galaxy Tab S6, except for taking notes can also be used to controlling the camera shutter. Also, it now supports air gestures which allow the user to toggle different applications by drawing gestures in the air, like drawing “O” to turn on the camera or swiping sideways with the button pressed to switch applications.

The Samsung Galaxy M20s Will Feature a Massive 5830 mAh Battery
In the Q1 of 2019, Samsung unveiled the all new Galaxy M lineup of smartphones which are targeted towards ‘millenials’. At the time of debut, the company introduced two smartphones that include the Galaxy M10 and the Galaxy M20. The former was targeted towards the entry level segment whereas the latter was targetted towards mid range segment.

Samsung Galaxy M20 (for reference)

Accrediting to value for money, both the smartphones have turned out to be one of the best selling devices in their segment. Clearly, the company would want to further continue the success it has attained with these handsets.

Falling in to the foot steps of the original devices, Samsung is reportedly developing successors or upgraded variants of the smartphones. While there are hardly any details about the successor to the Galaxy M10, a crucial piece of information about the Galaxy M20’s successor has been revealed.

Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1

According to the a notable Dutch Blog, the Galaxy M20’s replacement device will be called the Galaxy M20s and it will pack a massive ‘5,830 mAh’ battery. In comparison to the original handset, this is considerable bump which packs a 5,000 mAh battery.

Noteworthy, the Asus Max Pro M1 from the year 2018 was one of the first smarpthones to incoporate a huge 5,000 mAh battery and that feature alone became its USP (Unique Selling Point). Therfore, we believe such a huge capacity battery can be a vital feature and can make the upcoming Galaxy M20s stand out of the crowd.

Besides, no other details like the specs or design of the smartphone are currently available. However, it is assumed that, like its predecessor, the Galaxy M20s will have a modern design with an edge-to-edge waterdrop notch display on the front.
Moreover, RAM and ROM capacities on the Galaxy M20s will be similar to its competitors like the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Realme 3 Pro. Therfore, it is likely to be offered in two storage variants which include the following:
- 4 GB + 64 GB
- 6 GB + 128 GB

To sum it up, the Galaxy M20s is expected to be a worthy smarpthone in the mid range segment. However, in order to gain more details about it, we will have to wait until Samsung publically addresses it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Specifications Leaked Before Launch

It was revealed a while ago that Korean electronics giant Samsung is working on the next generation of its flagship tablet. Earlier speculated to be called the Galaxy Tab S5, it was later revealed to be branded as the Galaxy Tab S6. The device will be a successor to the Galaxy Tab S4 from last year and is expected to feature notable improvements over its predecessor. While images and a few details of the tablet were leaked previously, a popular gadget tipster on Twitter has now revealed more information about the device; including key specifications and features.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6

According to the tipster on Twitter, the upcoming Galaxy Tab S6 from Samsung will measure 244.5 x 159.5 x 5.7mm and weigh 420g. The images shared reveal it will have a similar design to its predecessor with a metal design. While the screen size is not known, it has been revealed to have an AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 px. The tablet will have a dual rear camera setup, something that is unique in the category. In terms of optics, there may be an f/2.0 aperture equipped 13MP primary sensor, coupled with an f/2.2 aperture equipped 5MP wide-angle sensor. For selfies, the device will have an f/2.0 aperture equipped 8MP camera on the top of the display.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Leaked In Green And Pink Colour

Samsung will soon launch the tenth iteration of its Note smartphones which will carry the Galaxy Note 10 branding. Detailed information including the features, specs and design of the Note 10 and Note 10+ have already been revealed.

Additionally, a fresh leak claims that Samsung will introduce two new colour options with the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 smartphones which we feel look very attractive. The said colours include Pink and Gradient Green with a hint of blue. Though the official names of the colours variants are yet to be revealed.

In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 accommodates a large screen display on the front which is surrounded with minimal bezels on all side. Besides, the display also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and a punch hole that houses the front-facing selfie camera.

The rear of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 harbours the company branding and a triple camera module which is arranged in a vertically manner. Talking about the sides, the left side of the smartphone houses the volume rockers and the power button while the right side is free from any button or ports.

Also new with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Samsung has done away with the dedicated Bixby button, which is now built into the power button which can be toggled with double-tap. Staple to Note series of smartphones, the Note 10 also packs an S-Pen which also gets new features. The updated S-Pen will reportedly support ‘air gestures’ which will allow controlling the handset without actually touching the display. In addition, while in typing mode, the smartphone will mimic the sound of a marker pen for providing a life-like experience.

Samsung Smartphone With Triple Swivel Display

Korean electronics manufacturer, Samsung has had a crucial role in the development of modern-day smartphones. Clearly, the company just does not want to stop here as it keeps on developing new concepts which are revealed from time to time with new patents.

Besides working on foldable smartphones or smartphones with an edge-to-edge display, a freshly granted patent suggests, Samsung is conceptualising yet another innovative handset that would be beyond the imagination of most average users.

At initial glance, the Samsung device in the patent looks like any other conventional smartphone with a display on the front which is surrounded with considerable top and bottom bezels. However, in reality, the dated-looking device conceals three separate displays that swivel around a focal point.

Certainly, the three displays on the Samsung device can be used to simultaneously run three different applications which can boost multitasking on a compact smartphone. Even though modern smartphones are nimble enough to rapidly navigate through applications, they can not match the functionality that a device with multiple displays can provide. At the pace mobile devices are evolving, they have the potential to replace a conventional desktop or notebook computer. And the device in the patent seems to be a step in that direction.

Noteworthy, the patent granted to Samsung lacks any kind of buttons, port or other crucial elements like a camera or a fingerprint sensor. Also, accommodating a sizeable battery into a device with such a form factor is another huge challenge.

Therefore, we believe the technology pioneered with this handset will pave its way into other devices in the future rather than Samsung utilising this exact design.

To conclude, not much can be said, what Samsung plans to achieve with a device with this form factor. In order to get more information on the topic, we will have to wait for some official news from the company.

Samsung Claims The Galaxy Fold Has Been Fixed, To Relaunch In September

Korean electronics giant Samsung launched its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold back in the month of February. At the event, it was announced that the device will be commercially available starting the 26th of April; however, a few weeks before its release a few Galaxy Fold review units started breaking. Many known technology journalists reported that due to a design flaw, the handset’s inside display can easily be compromised.

Samsung then announced that it is taking some time to fix the smartphone and will launch it again at a later date. Months passed, but there was no definite time bracket from the company. Until now, as it has claimed in a press release that all the issues plaguing the Galaxy Fold have been fixed and the device will be relaunched in the month of September.

What has been fixed

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Fold has passed through some design and construction improvements to be certified for a relaunch. These improvements include the extension of the top protective layer of the inside display. The new layer now makes it apparent that it is an integral part of the display and should not be removed. The updates to the foldable smartphone also include additional reinforcements to further protect it from external particles while maintaining its folding mechanism. Along with the aforementioned changes, the handset will also feature protection caps on the top and bottom of the hinge area; while also reducing the space between the hinge and the body of the device.

The images shared by Samsung of the redesigned Galaxy Fold reaffirm its claims as the mentioned changes are visible, although only subtly. While the foldable smartphone has been redesigned, the company claims its price will remain the same, that is US$ 1,980 (Rs. 1,36,500). While Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Fold will launch in September, no specific launch date has been provided. It is also not certain why the company is not announcing the device at the Galaxy Unpacked event next month, where it is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 10. It is speculated that it is being done to not steal the spotlight away from either of the two handsets. Whatever may be the case though, we will not have to have to wait too long to find out.
