As mentioned above, the LG W10 will be the most affordable smartphone in the company’s upcoming W series. The image on the Android Enterprise listing website of the device reveals it will have a large display with a wide notch on top. This contradicts to a previous leak which exhibited a waterdrop notch on the handset. Other details of the LG W10 include a power button on the right-hand side and the volume rockers on the left edge. Overall, the device looks similar to the LG G7 ThinQ launched last year. It may be the case that it is the aforementioned flagship handset; whose image is placed as a placeholder on the website before the budget device’s launch.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Will Boast Of A Three Stage Camera Aperture System

Samsung is expected to launch its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 10 in the month of August. Leaks in the past have revealed quite a bit of information regarding the device and it is expected to be a significant update over its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 9. Now, a known gadget tipster who goes by the name Ice Universe on Twitter has revealed; that the upcoming handset from Samsung will have a revolutionary camera feature.

As mentioned above, the tipster claims the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will have a three-stage aperture system in the camera or a triple variable aperture. Aperture is the opening in front of the sensor which lets the light pass through to it. The variable aperture system will switch between three different aperture settings, which are f/1.5, f/1.8 and f/2.4 depending upon the lighting situations. The tipster reveals the source of the information is Samsung China’s engineers; who are possibly working on the development of the upcoming flagship smartphone. It is expected that the feature will only be available in the primary camera of the Galaxy Note 10, with the rest of the sensors sporting a fixed aperture.

The variable aperture feature was introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S9 series last year in February. Since then, it has made an appearance in successive flagship smartphone launches from the company; including the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy S10 series. The aforementioned devices, however, used a two-way variable aperture system. This means that they can switch between an aperture of f/1.5 and f/2.4 depending upon the lighting conditions. Adding a triple stage variable aperture like rumoured in the Galaxy Note 10 will add a host of customisation and variations in images and video output from the device. The upcoming flagship smartphone as mentioned above may be launched on the 7th of August at an event in New York. The official announcement will confirm all the speculations and leaks so far.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10’s Display Will Double Up As A Speaker

Samsung’s latest Note series flagship is right around the corner with other big releases like the upcoming Apple iPhone 2019 and Google’s Pixel 4 line up. The Korean company will have to pull out an amazing feature or function with the new device to make it stand a cut above the rest. Amidst the various rumours, new reports by a renowned leakster reveal a new ‘Sound on Display’ technology for the Galaxy Note 10.

Note 10's "chin" is very narrow, the same level as the iPhone, no speaker grooves on the forehead, which means that the flagship Sound on Display(SoD) technology will replace the traditional speaker. The forehead will be narrower. pic.twitter.com/6aRGQIG0ee
— ICE UNIVERSE (@UniverseIce) June 19, 2019

Ice Universe, the source, leaked Samsung’s new proprietary feature on Twitter. This implied that the tech giant is letting go of the earpiece systems that have been used so far for a new feature to facilitate calls. Within the tweet, a couple of images were shared as well. These images showcased screen protectors that showcased negligible bezels on the Galaxy Note 10 save a punch hole camera cut out.

Sound on Display is a feature that will have vibrations travel through the screen and to the user’s ears when they receive a call. In practice, the feature on the Galaxy Note 10 will function similar to any other handset. According to the aforementioned images, both the Pro and non-Pro will incorporate the new technology. Notably, Samsung is not the first manufacturer to bring this function to mainstream markets, Huawei and LG have previously equipped their flagships with the same. In fact, the company has already tried it once on its own M series lineup. The Samsung Galaxy M40 received mixed reception for the substitute tech over an earpiece with concerns regarding quality.

Reports have even claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 may also feature traditional speakers alongside the Sound on Display feature. However, no concrete evidence has been uncovered and a simple screen protector does not always paint a true picture. Furthermore, it is still highly likely as Samsung has already included the feature in mid-range smartphones and the upcoming Note 10 will probably seek to innovate where possible.

However, if Sony does go forward and launch a handset with eight cameras in total, it will beat the previous record held by the Nokia 9 PureView for most camera sensors in a smartphone; which has a total of six cameras, five at the back and one on the front.

iPhone 11 Series Multiple Camera Setup Confirmed

We have already seen what form factor Apple’s new iPhone 11 series will sport. However, the first confirmed report of their designs is finally surfacing amidst numerous rumours and leaks. Apple’s much-awaited latest generation of flagships has now had its multiple camera setups configurations spotted through a case.

It is expected that Apple will provide improvements to the Smart HDR on the upcoming devices.

The rumours surrounding the latest iPhone series camera may suggest Apple adding a 120-degree wide-angle lens for the first time in its devices. Additionally, a standard primary shooter and a telephoto lens that is optically stabilized is expected to make a return once again. iPhone 11R, on the other hand, will probably only sport the standard primary camera alongside the telephoto lens.

Snapdragon 865 Details Leaked, To Arrive In Two Variants

American technology giant Qualcomm is best known for making mobile processors. Its latest flagship smartphone System on Chip (SoC) was the Snapdragon 855 which was launched last year. It was also the first chipset from the company to be manufactured on the 7nm fabrication process. Now, details about its successor, purportedly called the Snapdragon 865 have started to surface.

Snapdragon 865

Snapdragon 855

According to the tipster, the Qualcomm employees refer the company’s next-generation flagship chipset by the name Snapdragon 865. It carries a model number SM8250, which falls in line with the lineup as the Snapdragon 855 was codenamed SM8150. The chipset is likely to be manufactured on the 7nm fabrication process like its predecessor. As mentioned above, the Snapdragon 865 will arrive in two variants, with one supporting 5G; the next generation of mobile connectivity, with the help of an integrated modem. The other variant will not have an integrated modem and should natively support 4G LTE networks and not 5G. The different variants are code-named Kona and Huracan, but it is not known which one carries the 5G modem.
