Samsung’s Galaxy Note series is the king of productivity for smartphones, thanks mainly to its S-Pen stylus. Over the years, the S-Pen has evolved – it now packs more features and is also waterproof. Nevertheless, more features may be coming according to a new patent release.
The patent application filed at the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) will allow users control their phone with the S Pen and finger at the same time.
Images provided show a settings screen where you can choose the input method for an application. Like in the one above, which lists various screen scrolling methods, you can choose to use a combination of finger touch and S-Pen where the S-Pen is for input or where the finger is for input.
You can also configure how the stylus should respond when the screen senses a finger touch. An example is shown in the image below where the thickness of the line is increased when the user taps and holds the screen.
Samsung has also added a number of hand gestures that serve as shortcuts. Drawing a Z will move to the next memo and drawing it in a mirror-like fashion takes you to the previous memo. You can also add an attachment or delete a memo by drawing a circle clockwisely or anti-clockwisely respectively.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona next month. The models are also expected to be launched in the world’s largest smartphone market, China soon after the MWC unveiling. Ahead of its arrival in China, Samsung has started putting things in place to get the next-gen Galaxy flagships approved in China. Secevral models of a Samsung smartphone believed to be the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ reportedly received China’s Compulsory Certificate (3C) last week.
The Samsung Galaxy models that got 3C nod include models bearing the model numbers SM-G9650/DS, SM-G9600/DS, and the SM-G9608/DS. The SM-G9600/DS model is said to be the Chinese variant of the Galaxy S9 while SM-G9608/DS is the Galaxy S9+. In addition, the SM-G9608/DS is said to be the smaller 5.8-inch Galaxy S9+ model that is meant for the Taiwan market.The suffix “DS” attached to the model number shows that all three models are expected to have dual SIM car slots. The SIM slots of all three models are expected to follow suit with the Hybrid SIM etup of the Galaxy S8 series where the second SIM slot can be interchanged with a microSD card.
As usual, 3C listing doesn’t reveal much details regarding the specifications of the smartphone but is a sure indication that the launch is somewhat imminent. Previous leaks point to the use of the flagship Snapdragon 845 chip on the Galaxy S9 while some models will have an Exynos 9810 processor. The 3C listing also shows all the three models will come with fast charging support at 9V /1.67A and 5V / 2A. Apart from these few details, nothing else is revealed but we hope to see more details in the coming days, especially when the models hit TENAA.

The model number of the two Nokia phones that have been certified by FCC are TA-1045 and TA-1016. These are single-SIM and dual-SIM editions of the Nokia 7 or Nokia 6 (2018) for the U.S. The FCC documentation of these phones state that they have been built to specifically function in the U.S. HMD Global has reportedly used a proprietary software to disable support for non-US frequencies on TA-1045 and TA-1016 that will make the smartphone usable in the U.S.
The FCC has revealed that the upcoming Nokia phone for the U.S. includes a 3,000 mAh battery and it will come preloaded with Android 8.0 Oreo. The Nokia 7 and Nokia 6 (2018) are both packed with 3,000 mAh battery. Also, both smartphones are now receiving the Android 8.0 Oreo update in the home country. Hence, it is difficult to tell whether the Nokia 7 or Nokia 6 (2018) would be landing soon in the U.S.

Sony has recently confirmed that it will be holding a press event at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 event in the next month. Previous leaks have suggested that the Japanese tech giant would be unveiling new flagship phones such as the Xperia XZ Pro at MWC 2018. It is speculated that it could be the first smartphone in the world to feature 4K OLED display. During a recent interview with Hitoshi Osawa, Head of UX product planning for Sony Mobile in Europe confirmed that the company will be launching mobile devices with 4K OLED display very soon.
Sony had launched Xperia Z5 Premium and Xperia XZ Premium smartphones respectively in 2015 and 2017. Both the smartphones carry support for 4K resolution on their LCD screen. However, the upcoming Xperia XZ Pro is speculated to arrive with OLED panel that will deliver 4K resolution. Osawa has claimed that the Japanese tech giant Is investing money in OLED panels. None of the flagship smartphones available in the market feature 4K OLED display. He added that fans will not be disappointed as 4K OLED is the next step for the company after launching 4K LCD phones.
Osawa did not confirm whether the company will be launching a 4K OLED display phone at MWC 2018. Sony’s MWC 2018 press event will take place on Feb. 26. It is speculated that the two flagship phones that may get unveiled at the upcoming press meet by Sony are Xperia XZ Pro and Xperia XZ2.

Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones — Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus are expected to be announced on 26th February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We have already seen a lot of rumours and leaks related to the devices.
Now, a new rumour suggests how the company is planning to market these two new phones. A Twitter user @Ricciolo has reported that the tagline for the Galaxy S9 series will be “Film Your Story As You Intended”.
This suggests that the South Korean giant will be focusing on the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus’ camera capabilities to sell these devices. Thus, it’s safe to assume that both the phone will come with super awesome camera performance.
According to the previously leaked specifications, the Galaxy S9 will sport a single rear-facing camera, while the Galaxy S9 Plus will feature a dual rear-facing camera setup. Some reports suggest that the company will be offering f/1.5 aperture instead of the f/1.7 aperture.
The display size will be same as of their predecessors — the Galaxy S9 will have a 5.8-inch display while the S9 Plus will feature a 6.2-inch display. Both the devices will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor in the United States and China, while the international variant will be powered by the company’s own Exynos 9810 chipset, which comes with improved CPU, GPU performance, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep learning.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to pack 4GB RAM and will be available in two variants based on the internal storage — 64GB and 128GB. On the other hand, the Galaxy S9 Plus will come with 6GB RAM and will have four storage variants — 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. As per the reports, the 512GB internal storage variant will be available in select regions only that too in limited quantity.

Xiaomi Mi 5X that was launched in July last year had received good reception in China. Few months later, it was launched as Xiaomi Mi A1 Android One in global markets. Recent leaks have suggested that the Chinese manufacturer is working on Xiaomi Mi 6X. A recent report had revealed the rear panel of the smartphone and now another leaked render showing the TPU soft case of the Mi 6X has also surfaced to reveal its front and rear design.
The below image corresponds with the previous leaks that claim that the Mi 6X will be arriving with vertically arranged dual camera setup like the Apple iPhone X. An LED flash is slotted between the two sensors. The back panel of the phone also features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The cutouts present on the bottom portion of the TPU soft case for the alleged Mi 6X phone seems to be featuring an external speaker grill, a USB-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom side of the phone. The IR blaster could be placed on the top edge of the phone. The buttons for controlling volume and Power key appear to be fitted on the right side.

Tablet sales may be declining but that doesn’t mean those who still have need for them shouldn’t be able to get newer models. Acer is one of the few manufacturers who still churn out new models and this year’s Iconia One 8 just showed up at the FCC.
The Acer Iconia One 8 (2018) is an entry level-tablet as seen from the specs. As evident from the name, this is an 8-inch tablet with a resolution of 800 x 1280. It is powered by a MediaTek MT8167A processor clocked at 1.3GHz paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

The IF Geekpark Innovation Conference is an annual event held in China. This year’s edition which began on Friday and ended today had a number of guests who are leaders in the tech industry. Amongst them is the CEO of Smartisan Luo Yonghao, who revealed an early info about their plans for 2018.
According to Mr. Yonghao, Smartisan has an event scheduled for May 15, 2018 at the beijing national Stadium which is also known as the “Bird’s Nest” thanks to its design.
While the event is still a good four months away, the CEO says the event is for the launch of a revolutionary product. This revolutionary product, according to him, will affect other products released in the next 8 to 10 years.
Earlier this month, a new Smartisan phone with model number OC106 was certified by the Chinese Communications Commission. Some say this might be the device launching in May but under the name Smartisan T3.
Much is not known about the device, however, this will most likely be their flagship of the year. We may also see the phone launch with a Snapdragon 845 processor according to this tweet from leaker @mmddj_.
As it happens every year, the marketing research firm KGI has released a report about the upcoming Apple devices through its analysts. KGI is one of the most reliable market analysis firms, so, even though their info is not official, there are good chances that they will be true. According to KGI analysts, Apple will release three new phones in 2018, which will feature different screen sizes. The first one will be a successor to iPhone X. The second one will be a device with a 6.2-inch panel and LCD technology.
This one might have a more affordable price than the iPhone X: it could cost somewhere between $650 to $750. The third iPhone, which also seems to be the most interesting, will sport a huge 6.5-inch panel with OLED technology. Obviously, all of these devices will have a borderless display with a very high screen-to-body ratio, or else they would be too big. The new phones are expected to be announced in the upcoming fall, just like every year. According to KGI, Apple will see 10% increase in shipments thanks to these iPhones. Actually, the industry year on year increase is 5 percent, so KGI thinks that the next phones will sell even more than the current ones.
Unfortunately, KGI did not release other info about the specs of the alleged three iPhones which will be launched in the fall. Recent leaks suggested that the design will not be so different from the one of the actual iPhone X, with a bezel-less display and a notch on the upper part of it. Artificial intelligence will be surely supported as it has become a trend, and we can also expect a more powerful Apple A12 SoC on the hardware side.
Do you think Apple will increase the price of its powerful smartphone even more if compared to this year?
Since the time Sony sold its share in VAIO, new products haven’t been impressive, even though it used to launch some of the best laptop PCs in the market. But this company has never abandoned the laptop market and now it is going to launch two new laptops with great hardware. The upcoming notebook will be called Vaio S11 and S13 and, to be accurate, they will be very compact ultrabooks, even though they will have flagship-level specs. Both the models will have a thickness of just 0.7 inches, while their weight will be 1.9 pounds and 2.4 pounds, respectively.
Vaio S11, as the name suggests, will sport an 11.6-inch monitor, while the S13 has a bigger 13.3-inch display. It will be possible to buy these laptops in multiple configurations, and you will be able to choose among two Intel 8th gen processors: Intel Core i5 8250U and Intel Core i7 8550U. Unlike the previous years, these processors are composed of four physical cores and eight threads, even though they do not belong to the HQ series. It will be possible to buy up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of memory. Surprisingly, we are not talking about a hard disk: it will be an SSD.
Vaio S11 has a battery which can provide up to 15 hours of battery life, while the S13 lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. The connectivity side includes three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an SD Card reader and 4G LTE (optional). They are surely among the most impressive ultrabooks of 2018, even though they do not offer a dedicated graphics card. But they are costly: their prices are going to start from $1365, and they should be made available to pre-order within this month. We do not have info about their availability on the global market.
TCL announced three new series of smartphones at CES 2018: Alcatel 1, 3, and 5. Two of these devices have just been spotted on the listings of Amazon France: Alcatel 3V and 5. But their specs are a bit disappointing, they are not the mid-rangers and high-end phones which you could have expected when the new series was unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this month.
alcatel 5
Even though it has an 18:9 display with a size of 6 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, Alcatel 3V remains a low-end device. Under the hood, the phone sports a quad-core SoC, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage which is possible to expand with a micro SD card. On the rear side, there is a dual camera setup with a resolution of 12 MP, but note that the info about the resolution is yet to be confirmed as other parts of the listing mention a different resolution. According to Amazon France, the handset has Android Oreo installed out of the box and a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh.

Even Alcatel 5 is not a high-end phone, but just a mid-ranger. It has a 5.7-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. On the hardware side, it has an octa-core SoC, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, expandable with a micro SD. The battery has the same capacity of 3000 mAh, and weirdly the operating system installed is still Android Nougat. Alcatel 3V has a listing price of €230 on Amazon France, while the 5 has a price tag of €189.99. Amazon France shows that the phones will be officially available starting from February 26.
