Samsung Galaxy A10 with Exynos 7885 (or Exynos 7904) and 2GB RAM seen on Geekbench

Samsung recently announced two mid-range phones in India. One is the Exynos 7904-powered Galaxy M20 and the other is the Exynos 7870-powered Galaxy M10. Now, another mid-range phone seems to be on the way, this time the Galaxy A10 and it has been spotted on Geekbench.

Geekbench says the Galaxy A10 is powered by the Exynos 7885 which is technically a higher-clocked version of the Exynos 7904. Yeah, blame Samsung’s insane naming scheme. Also, do read our opinion of the Exynos 7904 here. However, there is a possibility it is actually the Exynos 7904 as benchmark apps are said to incorrectly identify the 7904 as the 7885 due to the similarities between them.

Even if the Galaxy A10 does come with the slightly more powerful Exynos 7885 processor, it might sell for less than the Galaxy M20 (at least this particular variant) as it has just 2GB of RAM compared to the M20 which has a base model with3GB RAM. There should be other RAM + storage configurations when it launches.

Redmi President starts display design poll; Xiaomi CEO votes for waterdrop-style notch screen

Last evening, Redmi President and Vice-President of Xiaomi Group Lu Weibing initiated a new poll to find which is the most preferred full screen design. Among the many options, the full screen design with pop-up selfie camera has received the most votes. Interestingly, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun voted for waterdrop-style display. Jun’s vote has giving birth to tumors that the Xiaomi Mi 9 will be arriving with a waterdrop notch enabled display.

As it can be seen in the below screenshot, the notch-less display with pop-up front camera is the most desired display design among Mi fans since it has received as around 31 percent votes. It is closely followed waterdrop-style notched display design with 27 percent votes.

Lu Weibing display design poll

The punch-hole display like the Honor V20, slider design like the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 and dual display like the Vivo NEX Dual Display have respectively received around 17 percent, 16 percent and 9 percent votes.
As mentioned above, Jun voted for waterdrop-style display which suggests that the Mi 9 could be arriving with such a display to offer higher screen space than the Mi 8 that featured a wider display notch. In the recent past, Jun has revealed that the Mi 9 would be equipped with faster charging technology.

A new Xiaomi phone with model number M1902F1A/T that was approved recently by 3C authority in China was found to carry support for up to 27W fast charging. It is speculated that it could be the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9 flagship phone.

The handset is likely to come equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader. Compared to conventional in-screen fingerprint scanner enabled smartphones, the Mi 9 is expected to offer larger screen fingerprint unlock area of 25 X 50.2mm.

LG to soon adopt the waterdrop notch for its smartphones

LG is all set to launch its next-gen flagship smartphone — LG G8 ThinQ and while the renders leaked suggests that the device will come with the regular wide notch on top of the display, the company is slowing moving towards adopting the popular waterdrop notch design.

LG Waterdrop Notch Phone

According to the latest patent filed by LG, the South Korea-based company is all set to make a move towards waterdrop notch that will provide a higher screen-to-body ratio. However, the said design was first filed by the company in April last year.

The patent application describes a smartphone with having a vertical dual-camera setup on the back and a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. Based on the design, it seems that the phone will look similar to the Essential Phone with a notch in the phone’s center.

Looking at the sketches, the phone retains the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom, which most smartphone manufacturers are ditching and there’s a SIM tray on top. The power button key is situated on the right side while the volume rocker keys are present on the left side.

LG Waterdrop Notch Phone

Meanwhile, the company is gearing up to launch the LG G8 ThinQ and LG V50 ThinQ 5G smartphone next month at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. Along with that, we expect the company to launch a few more mid-range devices at MWC 2019.

Recently, it was reported that the LG G8 will come with “Sound on Display” technology in which instead of having a traditional speaker, the sound is produced by vibrating the display panel. The sound is produced by vibrations of the screen caused by ‘exciter’ which is positioned behind the screen. LG is already using this technology in its Crystal Sound OLED TVs.

Under the hood, the phone is likely to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 flagship chipset. The phone’s renders featuring a notched display and dual rear camera sensors surfaced online a few days ago but the company’s Head of Global Corporate Communication denied that claiming that the renders are correct but are not of G8.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s AI completes unfinished 19th century symphony

In the present, AI is making its place in the tech world. It has started the new generation technological era with machines learning itself and performing tasks. AI works with various metrics running parallelly. It learns from the experience with techniques like deep learning, neural networks, and others. Since last year, it has started taking place in smartphones. Similarly, Huawei Mate 20 Pro has some inbuilt AI capabilities, thanks to the Kirin 980’s dual NPUs.

Today, Huawei posted a new video about an unfinished symphony which Schubert wrote in 1822 under Symphony Number 8. Schubert didn’t end it and had left it unfinished. Now, after near about 2 centuries, Huawei has decided to complete the unfinished symphony with the help of Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s AI. Though it’s a long wait but still we think late is better than never.

Huawei collaborated to complete the unfinished symphony using the Mate 20 Pro’s AI prowess. Huawei used the device’s dual NPUs to analyze the timbre, pitch, and meter of the existing movements to generate the remaining part. Now, Huawei has created the missing third and fourth movement of the symphony and is ready to present the same to the world on February 4. The symphony will be live performed at Cadogan Hall in London.

The melody created with Mate 20 Pro’s AI power was then used by Emmy award-winning composer Lucas Cantor to arrange an orchestral score. He said, “My role was to draw out the AI’s good ideas and fill in the gaps to ensure the final output was ready to be played by a symphony orchestra. The result of this collaboration with AI proves that technology offers incredible possibilities and the significant and positive impact it can have on modern culture.”

The Chinese company has posted a teaser of 20 seconds, through which you can get a hint of what would be happening on February 4th in London. It will be a moment of joy for the Schubert fans.

Samsung will sell ‘Lite’ variant of the Galaxy S10 but it won’t be called Galaxy S10 Lite

Samsung, the world’s leading smartphone manufacturer, is all set to launch its new flagship lineup — the Samsung Galaxy S10 at the Samsung Unpacked launch event in the U.S. on 20th February.

According to the reports, there will be three variants of the Galaxy S10 series — Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and a toned-down version of the S10 which was said to be named Galaxy S10 Lite. However, the latest report says that the device may come with a different name instead of the Galaxy S10 Lite.

The report, coming from South Korean through a Samsung representative, suggesting that the company is adamant that it will not be marketing the smallest of the three handsets as a “Lite” model. While the device will certainly be a lite version in nature but it won’t arrive with a ‘Lite’ name.

Samsung Galaxy S10 SD855

Along with the three Galaxy S10 devices, the company is also all set to launch a 5G-enabled version, which could be showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2019 at Barcelona, Spain. The MWC 2019 will kick-off on 25th February and end on 28th February.

Recently, a Samsung smartphone phone with model number SM-G970U appeared on Geekbench and earlier reports have revealed that the model number belongs to the S10 Lite which is the lowest configuration model in the series.

As per the specifications mentioned in the Geekbench listing, the phone is fueled by “msmnile” processor, which is a codename for the 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and is coupled with 6GB of RAM. The phone will be running on Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own One UI on top.

Previous reports have revealed that the S10 Lite will come with a 5.8-inch S-AMOLED Infinity Display that supports 18.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution.

Huawei’s upcoming flagship Mate 30 to feature SLP circuit board

Huawei is all set to launch its new smartphones — Huawei Mate 30 series in the coming months. Now, the latest report says that the company is planning to use the latest class-loaded board SLP technology for the flagship devices.

With this, Huawei will become the third major smartphone manufacturer that will adopt the SLP circuit board technology in its smartphones. Earlier, Apple used the same technology for its iPhone X and Samsung has reportedly adopted this for its upcoming Exynos-powered Galaxy S10 lineup.

SPL circuit board stands for Substrate Like PCB, which is sometimes being misleadingly called “Stacked Logic Board”. With the SLP motherboards, the chips are stacked or packed together, which helps in making their footprint much smaller.

Huawei Logo

While most of today’s phones use 10 layers of copper on the PCB, the stacked SLP circuit board uses 20, permitting a higher density of components in a given surface area. This makes extra space inside for other components, such as a larger battery, however, it’s not confirmed how the company plans to utilize the extra space.

Although the mobile phone market is in growth bottleneck, the industry is expected to witness a significant upgrade trend this year in terms of PCB and motherboards. The tier-II brands are also expected to be upgraded from the traditional high-density connection board (HDI) to the Anylayer-class HDI product. The main reason for such upgrade is being attributed to growth in demand for mobile phone functions.

As we mentioned, Apple utilized the same design for its last year’s iPhone X, which follows in its successors too, enabling the company to introduce a bigger L-shaped battery inside. The SLP circuit board market is estimated at $1.9 billion in 2016 and $2.24 billion by 2023, with a 64 percent CAGR between 2017 and 2023.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to come in three models — SM-G970F, SM-G975F, and SM-G973F. The Galaxy S10 lineup from Samsung is going to launch officially on 20th February and will be showcased at the upcoming MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Spain which kicks-off from 25th February.

As per the reports, Huawei Mate 30 Pro will have a penta-camera setup. The case bears a larger cutout at the upper half which suggests that the device will have 5 sensors at the rear with an LED flash. However, we are not certain if the patented case is for the Mate 30 Pro but it is definitely for one of Huawei’s 2019 flagship.

Redmi Note 7 Pro likely to arrive with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage

Redmi is expected to announce a new variant featuring 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage for the Redmi Note 7 this week. Fresh information suggests that the Redmi Note 7 Pro arriving in the coming month could be available in 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage options.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun and Redmi President Lu Weibing have asked fans what they expect from the Redmi Note 7 Pro. One of the fans replied by saying that the company should consider skipping the 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage for the Redmi Note 7 Pro, but rather launch it with 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage or 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun reposted the aforementioned reply which suggests that the company may debut the Redmi Note 7 Pro in 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variants.

Redmi Note 7 Pro 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage

Around two weeks ago, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had run a poll to see the popularity of the different models of the Redmi Note 7. The poll revealed that the cheaper 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage that was priced at 999 Yuan (~$149) was the least popular. The poll had included two unreleased variants like 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The most popular model in the poll was 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage followed by 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage.

Redmi is yet to confirm on the launch date of the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The smartphone will be featuring the same specs as its non-Pro sibling. However, the 48-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GM1 sensor of the Redmi Note 7 will be swapped by 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor on the Pro variant. Moreover, the rumor mill claims that the Redmi Note 7 Pro won’t be powered by Snapdragon 660 found inside the Redmi Note 7 handset. Instead of it, the Pro model may come with the latest Snapdragon 675.
