The design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is not a big secret as recent reports have revealed its appearance would be very similar to the Galaxy Note 8 from last year. Fresh renders of the Note 9 have surfaced today to reveal its front and rear design.

On the Note 9, the fingerprint reader is placed below the horizontal dual camera unit. The case shows the presence of buttons for volume and Bixby on the left and a power key on the right.

Next Apple iPhone won’t have any Motorized parts, says analyst

Jul 3, 2018

In order to shave the bezels off their flagships, Oppo and Vivo came up with an incredibly innovative solution with their latest devices. But according to the known and respected analyst Horace Dediu, in an interview with Express.co.uk, the upcoming 2018 iPhone by Apple will not follow the new bandwagon. The flagships we are talking about are the new Vivo NEX and Oppo Find X. The first has a motorized front camera with an 8 MP resolution, while the second has a motorized part which reveals both the front camera and the dual rear cameras.

On the Oppo Find X, it is even mandatory to activate the motorized part in order to unlock the device without entering a password, as it does not feature a fingerprint scanner and it relies only on 3D facial recognition for authentication. According to the analyst, Apple iPhone will not adopt a similar solution and it will not have any motorized part. But the phone should still feature narrower bezels than the iPhone X. One of the reason because of Apple will not opt for motorized parts is the waterproof certification, as implementing such a technology would make impossible for its handsets to be waterproof.

Further, the analyst thinks that the future iPhones will ditch even the Lightning port. In such a case, wireless charging would be the only option for charging batteries and it will not be possible to use wired headphones anymore. Apple will release its next iPhones in September and the new line-up will be composed of three devices. The first will be the successor of the iPhone X with a 5.8-inch display, the second will have a 6.1-inch screen and the third will sport a 6.5-inch display. One of them has already appeared on Geekbench with a new SoC inside, 4 GB of RAM and iOS 12 installed.

Upcoming iPhones fast charger leaks with USB-C port

Jul 3, 2018

The upcoming line-up of iPhones which will be unveiled by Apple in September is tipped to come bundled with a fast charger out of the box. Or at least that is what a new leak is suggesting. The leak contains the photos of a brand new 18W charger by Apple which will connect to a Lightning to USB Type-C cable in order to charge the upcoming devices. Its size is in the middle between the actual 5W iPhones charger and the 10W iPad chargers.

The new charger supports input parameters of 100-240V 50/60 Hz 0.45A and the output parameters 5V/3A and 9V/2A, according to leaked info. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee you the authenticity of this leak. This goes totally in contrast with recent reports suggesting that the upcoming iPhones would come without a Lightning port and it would be possible to charge them only by using a wireless charger.

In case you don’t know, the latest line-up of Apple phones already supports fast charging, but the charger contained in the box does not. So, it is necessary to purchase an additional charger costing $50 to use the fast charging profile. With the new fast charger, it should be possible to charge the device from 0 to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.

Apart from Galaxy Note 9 and Gear S4 smartwatch, Samsung is also expected to announce the Galaxy Tab S4 in the near future. A lot of information on the Tab S4 tablet has appeared in the recent past, but none of the leaks have revealed its actual design. An official press render of the tablet has appeared today to kill the mystery of its appearance.

Rumors have revealed that the Galaxy Tab S4 would be available in black and gray colors. The below render shows off the black variant. It is yet to be confirmed whether there will be Gold color edition of the tablet. When it comes to rear design and placement of the camera, the Galaxy Tab S4 appears almost same as predecessor Galaxy Tab S3. Even the positioning of the power and volume keys on the Galaxy Tab S4 is same as the predecessor tablet. The “Tuned by AKG” logo found on the Tab S3 has been replaced by “Samsung | Tuned by AKG” logo on the successor model.

Rumors have revealed that the Galaxy Tab S4 will be equipped with a 10.5-inch display. Earlier in this year, the HTML5 benchmarks of Tab S4 had revealed that it would be offering an aspect ratio of 16:10. The screen seems to be surrounded by slightly slimmer bezels compared to the Tab S3 that featured a 9.7-inch display. The overall size of the Tab S4 does not seem to be much larger than its predecessor.

There is no logo on the top bezel of the Galaxy Tab S4. This could be because that the tablet could be housing an iris scanner on the top bezel. Samsung seems to have removed the home button from the chin of the device. Probably, the Tab S4 may carry support for on-screen navigation buttons. Some rumor had claimed that the tablet could be arriving with fingerprint sensor enabled home button. However, now the home button is absent from the device, it is unlikely to feature a fingerprint scanner.

There is no information available on the specifications of the Galaxy Tab S4. The tablet is expected to be fueled by Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. It is likely to feature an inbuilt storage of 64 GB. A big-sized battery of 7,300mAh may power the upcoming Samsung tablet. The tablet may arrive preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo. For photography, it may feature a 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera and a frontal shooter of 8-megapixel.

It is speculated that the Galaxy Tab S4 will also carry support for Samsung DeX. The South Korean company has recently confirmed that it will be holding the Unpacked event on Aug. 9. The event is expected to unleash the Galaxy Note 9 phablet. Hence, the company may announce the Galaxy Tab S4 at the IFA 2018 tech trade show.
