Samsung XCover FieldPro Rugged Smartphone Leaked

Samsung had just unveiled the XCover 4S earlier this month. A fresh report now showcases that the South Korean company is working on a new device in the lineup of rugged phones. These smartphones are robust and do not require extra protection like cases. The new handset will be dubbed the XCover FieldPro and will bring improvements across the board for the upcoming device.

Samsung applied for a trademark for the device that will probably be an advanced variant of the previously launched XCover 4S. The aforementioned series of smartphones are built to survive tough usage and resist wear and tear in harsh environments not recommended for traditional smartphones. Rugged phones are designed to be dust and waterproof devices and be used in fieldwork areas such as construction or off-shore sights. The XCover FieldPro will most likely sport a more powerful processor and an improved camera over its previous iterations.

Unfortunately, no additional information is available apart from the trademark being filed under the XCover FieldPro name. It is clear through its name that it is a ‘Pro’ model and should feature top of the line or at least better internal specifications than its predecessors. Samsung had previously also launched an extra model for its XCover 3. However, the new variant the XCover 3 Value Edition arrived a year later with just software improvements.

The XCover FieldPro will also run on the Android 9 Pie OS similar to the XCover 4S, if not the upcoming Android 10 Q version. The name of the device initially makes it sound like a gadget accessory for the XCover series but the filed report clearly defines a smartphone. Samsung had filed the patent in the United Kingdom on the 27th of June 2019 with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office).

The tech giants rugged XCover lineup of smartphones are integral to the primary industries. These devices are a necessity due to the variety of features offered, such as communication, even in non-ideal workplaces. Samsung’s new addition to the rugged family will be a welcomed entry in the professional series and more information is expected to be revealed in the arriving weeks.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G Receives FCC Certification Before Launch

Samsung was one of the first companies to launch a foldable smartphone. The Galaxy Fold was first introduced in February 2019 and had a scheduled launch date set later in April. Unfortunately, the commercial availability of the device has since been delayed due to multiple instances of malfunctioning caused by a premature release.

It is now reported that Samsung will also launch a new Galaxy Fold variant capable of 5G networking, as seen in an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification.

The South Korean electronics company will most likely launch the upcoming 5G variant alongside the standard Galaxy Fold model. The tech giant has reportedly fixed all the issues that had plagued the device pre-launch and is expected to be available soon. Both the 4G and 5G variants of the Galaxy Fold will probably have identical features and specifications, except connectivity and battery size. The standard version is a dual SIM device with 4380mAh battery capacity while the 5G model is only equipped with a single SIM and slightly smaller 4235mAh battery.

5G network bandwidth has yet to see widespread commercial adoption in various countries developed and developing alike. In countries like India where even 4G network has not had complete penetration, it is unlikely to see the release of any devices capable of the faster bandwidth. South Korea, on the other hand, has seen great integration with 5G and devices capable of it. Samsung’s Galaxy S10 5G is one of the biggest examples with over 1 million units sold in just a short amount of time.

Galaxy S10 5G

Besides, Samsung has reportedly been working on a new foldable smartphone with a curved edge. It is highly unlikely that any of the aforementioned foldable phones would sport the new design immediately. Since Samsung has announced that a new foldable phone will be launched annually, it is probable that the Galaxy Fold 2 may incorporate the new aesthetical feature.

The Galaxy Fold is a revolutionary smartphone which had a failed start. Samsung has stuck to the device and is planning to make good on all the promises it has made for its customers. The upcoming foldable handsets are expected to release around the launch of the Galaxy Note 10, probably between August end and September. More information regarding this will soon be available in the coming weeks.

Samsung Galaxy A90 Leaked, To Feature Snapdragon 855, 5G Support

It was reported earlier that Samsung is planning to introduce a new Galaxy R series of smartphones. The first device that was speculated to arrive in the series was the previously leaked Galaxy A90, according to a known gadget tipster on Twitter. Unfortunately, the tipster has now claimed that there was some confusion between the internal and commercial naming scheme of the device. Now, it has been revealed that contrary to the prior information, the Galaxy A90 will be launched with the aforementioned name and not in the Galaxy R series; which likely does not exist.

Samsung Galaxy A90

Galaxy S10+

According to gadget tipster who goes by the name @Onleaks on Twitter, Samsung is working on two variants of the Galaxy A90 smartphone. Both of these carry a model number SM-A905 and SM-A908 respectively. Apart from clearing the air around its naming details, the specifications of the devices have also been revealed.

The SM-A908 will be the 5G variant of the Galaxy A90 and will have a 6.7-inch display. It will utilise an in-display fingerprint scanner for quickly accessing the handset and will have a triple camera setup comprised of a 48MP primary sensor; alongside an 8MP secondary and 5MP tertiary sensor. It will run on the 7nm Snapdragon 855 SoC which consists of an Octa-core CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU. As mentioned above, the smartphone will have support for 5G; the next generation of mobile networks.

The other variant of the Samsung Galaxy A90, with the model number SM-A905, will have the same screen size; fingerprint scanner placement and the processor as the 5G variant mentioned above. The major difference between both the smartphones will be in connectivity and cameras. As it implies, the device will not support 5G networks, instead, relying on 4G LTE for connectivity. In terms of optics, the handset will have a 48MP primary camera, alongside a 12MP secondary and 5MP tertiary sensor.

Samsung Could Be Working On A New Galaxy Fold With Curved Display

Foldable smartphones have been a hot topic of the year. A smartphone that can bend its screen was a far off fantasy in the past. Samsung, with the Galaxy Fold, became one of the first companies to ever make this dream a reality for many enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the technology was prematurely revealed to the world. However, A brand new report has suggested that the company might be working on a new folding device with curved edges.

Samsung has still not given an official announcement for the launch of its Galaxy Fold, and are now seemingly applying patents for a new device. The patent is for an upcoming foldable smartphone with a curved edge display. Unlike, Huawei’s upcoming Mate X which has its screen on the inside, Samsung is pushing for a display panel on the outside. The last couple of years have seen many such patents pop up showcasing revolutionary and innovative designs.

Samsung’s latest foldable smartphone was filed for a patent under the title, “Foldable electronic device including flexible device.” This implies that a full-screen curved edge folding handset may already be under development. The second iteration of the company’s foldable phone does not seem to have any visible sidebar and its front-facing is camera built into the screen.

The foldable smartphone has two major halves that are held together by a hinge, onto which both sides can cave into. According to the schematics, a rotatable hinge is being used for this design, unlike the one present in the Galaxy Fold. The hinge is partially built into the devices rear panels recess. The mechanism has to be perfect in its implementation lest they repeat the past iterations debacle. Samsung will most likely make this a premium smartphone with top-notch specs and hardware.

The South Korean OEM will probably incorporate a high-grade display into the device. A tablet format viewing experiences can be taken from the foldable smartphone once it is expanded. The device has curved edges flank both sides, that makes it look stylish like in previous Galaxy S and Note series flagships. Users will find a curved display on one side and the hinge on the other when the device is folded. The punch hole camera is housed on the top left corner of the screen, which allows for use even when the device isn’t folded. A heart rate sensor and flash are also planned according to the patent description.

The earpiece and ambient light sensors are placed on the top of the foldable smartphone, with the bottom having the mic (left half) and charging port (right half). The frame border on the side cannot be discerned due to the introduction of the curved edges. Placement of the power button is still unknown and a 3.5mm headphone jack will probably not be seen in the smartphone. Samsung had previously abandoned the buttonless idea on the Galaxy Note 10 during development, but the feature may finally make an appearance.

Samsung has already patented various folding devices and is planning on releasing a new foldable smartphone annually. The introduction of the curved edges is a highly welcomed addition to the already innovative design of the phone. The tech giant is pulling out every trick it has in the new device to make it fill the shortcoming of its predecessors. Many OEMs have yet to release foldable devices and Samsung could very well bring the form factor to mainstream audiences in the future.

Galaxy Note 10 Display and Design

The Note 10e is reported to sport a 6.28 inch display while the standard Note 10 is reported to sport a 6.7 or 6.75 inch display.

Leaked renders and screen protector images exhibit that the future Note 10 smartphones will have negligible bezels around the display and high screen to body ratio. Like the OnePlus 7 Pro, the Note 10 5G and Note 10 Pro are reported to have a display that tapers towards the side.

The key distinguishing feature of the Note 10 smartphones is told to have is a centre-mounted punch hole for the front facing selfie camera.

Galaxy Note 10 Renders

To provide the devices with a supreme usability experience, they might feature UFS 3.1 ultra fast storage. This features was first seen on the OnePlus 7 Pro which is an obvious contender to Samsung’s offerings. Staple to Note series of handsets, the upcoming devices will also have a stylus which will provide for several nifty features like wirelessly clicking selfies or drawing on the display.

Galaxy Note 10 Leaked Battery

Unlike past claims, the devices were reported to retain a 3.5 mm sensor which is a big sigh of relief for music lovers who enjoy their music on high end headphones.

Even though the price of the smartphones is currently unannounced, the Note 10e is expected to retail for € 800 while the flagship Note 10 5G may cost € 1,300 for the base variant.

The first thing to be unveiled was the retention of the 3.5mm headphone jack by the upcoming Note series, which may be unlikely considering the leaked renders and cases that have been seen so far.

The South Korean company is apparently not making any new major overhauls with the S-Pen that is claimed to be similar to the Galaxy Note 9‘s pen. Furthermore, the tweet also reported the removal of expandable storage from the standard version of the Galaxy Note 10. Samsung is also reported to not making any new major additions to the software and UI of the upcoming flagship handset. The device will run on the Android 9 Pie based One UI.

Reportedly, there will no longer be a speaker grill on the top of the smartphone leading bezels to be much smaller than its predecessor. Interestingly, the volume rockers and the power button will now both be found together on the left side, a small but notable design change. The tweet also goes on to confirm the vertical setup for the 3 camera sensors, while the fourth being under the flash to the right in the Pro variant.

The highly anticipated flagship is set for an announcement in August for those interested customers. Updates will follow regarding the launch and more as additional information is available.

Samsung Is Launching Three New Galaxy Tabs Next Week

The tablet market has been dominated by Samsung in the Indian Market in 2019. The tech giant has historically always had an audience for its larger-screened product range in the southeast Asian country. The South Korean company is now seeking to expand it’s lineup with three new Galaxy entries in the tablet segment.

In the country, Samsung has gained over 51 percent of the market share by value and about a total of 50 percent by volume of sales. The success is not a first as of year 2018, Samsung had a 50 percent market share value with an estimated 49 percent share in sales volume. A top executive of the company has now announced three upcoming tablets that will bolster the aforementioned financial figures.

With this years lineup, Samsung is hoping for a net growth of 20 percent. According to a senior official, the company has already registered double-digit growth in comparison to the preceding year and is now seeking to revive the ‘stagnant’ tablet space in the country in 2019. Tablets are a bigger size offering against smartphones that allows media consumption, entertainment, and even workloads being enhanced and a tad bit more accessible. Furthermore, users now browse, shop and use multimedia functions more than ever before and these large devices provide a great platform to experience it.

Samsung plans on capitalizing on this demand through its offering of bigger displays and top-notch hardware to further penetrate the tablet market. The first of these devices will be the Galaxy Tab S5e that is expected to be priced between Rs.30,000 and Rs.40,000. While the Galaxy Tab A10.1, a mid-range tab, may fall within the price bracket of Rs.10,000 to Rs.15,000. The last of these devices is a budget device, the Galaxy Tab A8, that might be priced at Rs.10,000 or sub 10k range.

Tablets are devices that are caught somewhere between a smartphone and an ultrabook. However, they have yet to solidify their own positions in the stiff market in regards to value.

Finally, precise details including the price and specifications of the three Samsung tablets will be revealed soon as they are set to launch in the fourth week of June.

According to the tipster who goes by the username @OnLeaks on Twitter, the Samsung Galaxy R series of the smartphone will cater to the mid-range. Two devices are currently in development in the lineup, out of which both of them have a huge display and triple rear cameras. It is claimed that at least one of the handsets in the upcoming series will have support for 5G; the next generation of mobile networks.

The other smartphone is touted to have a unique camera feature, details of which are unknown at the moment. One of the smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy R series may be the long rumoured Galaxy A90 which will be rebranded into the new lineup. The device has the model number SM-A90X and was leaked a while ago, but was later claimed to be launched as the Galaxy A80 back in the month of April. This suggests that the “unique” camera feature may be a pop-up mechanism to house the front-facing camera; as the feature was expected to debut with the Galaxy A90.

Unfortunately, more details about the lineup including the price and rest of the specifications are unknown at the moment but are expected to be revealed in the following weeks.
