After updating devices like the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy Tab S7 series, Samsung is officially bringing the One UI 3.1 update to Galaxy S20 Series, Note 20 Series, Z Fold2, and Z Flip devices.

Samsung in a press release announced that it will bring the latest One UI 3.1 update to various flagship and mid-range series of devices. You can take a look at the list below:

• Samsung Galaxy S20
• Samsung Galaxy S20+
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE*
• Samsung Galaxy Note20
• Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G

*-The Galaxy S20 FE started receiving it a  few days ago but Samsung had to pull it back reportedly due to various issues.

Samsung launched the One UI 3.1 back when it announced the Galaxy S21 series of devices in January. These devices are the first ones to carry the UI out of the box. It then started updating the older devices by pushing the UI update via OTA(Over-The-Air).

Anyway, the latest update is rolling out to various regions in the UK, Europe(like Austria, Germany), and South Korea. If you are someone living in these regions, you can try out the new features by navigating to Software Update in Settings.

The One UI 3.1 brings features like Improved performance, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, Background Video Calling, Google Discover on Home Screen, Zoom Lock(in camera), and more.

That said, a report by Sammobile says that Samsung hasn’t brought the Google Discover, Google Messages to the devices with this update. This means it is still exclusive to the Galaxy S21 devices for now.

Users in other regions need not panic as Samsung will eventually roll out the update soon in the coming days. Also, in the news, Samsung has mentioned devices like the Galaxy A90, Galaxy A70, Galaxy A80, Galaxy A51, A71. We will have to wait for a few days to know when Samsung starts their rollout.

Rumors have it that Samsung will be soon launching Galaxy M10s, Galaxy M20s, Galaxy M30s and Galaxy M40s are upgraded versions of phones such as Galaxy M10, M20, M30 and M40 that were released in the first half of the year. A fresh leak reveals that Samsung is also working on a new smartphone called Galaxy M90. The handset may go official in October or November.

According to tipster Ishan Agarwal, the South Korean company is working on the Galaxy M90 smartphone that has a model number of SM-M905F. The handset is codenamed as R6. Nothing is known on the specifications of the smartphone yet. The only thing that seems to be confirmed about the phone is that it will be going official before November.

Through a tweet, Agarwal has claimed that that the Galaxy M90 will be exactly same as the forthcoming Galaxy A90. The A90 is expected to come with topnotch specs. Hence, it appears that the M90 will offer stellar specs at affordable price.

As far as Galaxy A90 is concerned, the rumor mill is claiming it will be the most powerful A-series phone that will be fueled by Snapdragon 855 chipset. Rumors surrounding it also claim that Samsung will be releasing a 5G edition of the A90 too. It remains to be seen whether the Galaxy M90 is also powered SD855 or the Snapdragon 730 SoC.

So, the Galaxy M90 is coming, but there is information available whether the South Korean firm will be also releasing Galaxy M50, Galaxy M60, Galaxy M70 and Galaxy M80. Hopefully, more details on the M90 will appear as its launch approaches near.

In related news, the Galaxy A90 is expected to come with a full HD+ 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display Infinity-U notch and it could be coming in 4G and 5G versions. The 5G model may feature 48-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 5-megapixel triple camera setup while the 4G edition may come with 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 5-megapixel triple camera unit. Both models may house 4,400mAh batteries. The other details of the Galaxy A90 are under the wraps.

The post Samsung Galaxy M90 (SM-M905F) in works; Will be lot like Galaxy A90 appeared first on Gizmochina.

It appears the Galaxy S10 series and Galaxy Note10 series will not be Samsung‘s only Snapdragon 855-powered phones. The upcoming Galaxy A90 will also have a Snapdragon 855 chipset under its hood.

This isn’t the first time we have learned that the Galaxy A90 will have a Snapdragon 855 processor: Steve Hemmerstoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks first mentioned it back in June. So this Geekbench result actually confirms the info.

Benchmarked as the Samsung SM-A908N, the phone runs Android 9 Pie and has 6GB of RAM. The motherboard which is “msmnile” is the same we have seen for other devices powered by the Snapdragon 855.

The SM-A908N scored 3458 points in the single-core test and 10852 points in the multi-core test. The scores are also similar to that of other devices powered by the same chipset.

Like the Note10 Pro, the A90 5G version also supports 45w ultra-fast charging.

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) June 21, 2019

The SM-A908N is most likely to be the Korean model since there is an “N” at the end of the model number. OnLeaks said this particular version also has a 6.7-inch screen with an in-display fingerprint sensor, 48MP + 8MP +5MP triple rear cameras, and 5G support. Ice Universe also said back in June that the A90 5G version will have support for 45W fast charging. It is believed this model will be exclusive to Samsung’s home country.

The other Galaxy A90 which will be available in other markets will also have a Snapdragon 855 processor, the same display and fingerprint scanner but a 48MP + 12MP +5MP triple camera setup and an exclusive feature called “Tilt OIS”.

The post Galaxy A90 Geekbench result confirms Snapdragon 855 inside appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, a Samsung device with the model number A9050 was seen on Geekbench. Based on the result, we were able to deduce the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 730. By the model number, the device should launch as the Galaxy A90. However, a new leak which surfaced today lists a different processor for the device.

The source of the leak is @OnLeaks who had previously said there is no device called the A90 but that Samsung was going to launch a new Galaxy R-series.

So. What many are calling #GalaxyA90 (SM-A90X) will very likely be launched as the new #GalaxyR series.

– Two models already in the pipeline.
– Both have huge display and triple camera.
– At least one of them comes with 5G support and the other with a very unique camera feature. pic.twitter.com/oJMnzJSYG1

— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) June 21, 2019

His new tweet confirms there is indeed a Galaxy A90 – technically two of them – the SM-A908 and the SM-A905 – and both are powered by the Snapdragon 855. The fact that they are powered by a flagship chipset is what’s surprising and not the Snapdragon 730.

In order to somehow make amends, I bring you the key specs of these devices

– SM-A908: SD855, 6.7-inch screen with in-display FPS, 48+8+5 rear camera, 5G support.
– SM-A905: SD855, 6.7-inch screen with in-display FPS, 48+12+5 rear camera with exclusive Tilt OIS tech!

Cheers! pic.twitter.com/uqfFTnfoIQ

— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) June 25, 2019

According to him, the SM-A908 will have a 6.7-inch screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner and come with triple rear cameras – 48MP + 8MP + 5MP. He also mentioned that the phone will have 5G support.

Galaxy R series does not exist, “Rx” is only the internal code of Galaxy A, some Leaker get the wrong information, in fact, Galaxy A90 is still Galaxy A90, it has a 5G version, using 45w fast charging.

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) June 23, 2019

This is most likely the same 5G Galaxy A90 Ice Universe tweeted about a few days ago. Based on that tweet, we can add 45W fast charging as one of its features.

The SM-A905, on the other hand, will also be powered by the Snapdragon 855. It will have a 6.7-inch screen too with an in-display fingerprint scanner. It also has triple rear cameras but in a 48MP + 12MP + 5MP configuration. One exciting feature it has is referred to as Tilt Optical Image Stabilization and it will be an exclusive feature of the device.

Based on this new leak, we can deduce the Galaxy A90 will have two models – a 5G version and an LTE model. However, both will differ in other areas too.

UP NEXT: Samsung exec discloses that the Galaxy Fold is ready to ship!

The post New leak reveals Galaxy A90 series will come with SD855 and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

About a week ago, there was a rumor that the Galaxy Note10 Pro will come with 45W fast charge technology – the fastest for a Samsung device and nearly more than double the 25W fast charge technology of the Galaxy S10 5G. New info has surfaced and it quells that rumor and reveals new details.

A tweet by Max Weinbach (@mweinbachXDA), a host and writer for XDA-Developers, revealed that Samsung’s next stylus-toting flagship phone will not have 45W fast charging but 25W just like the Galaxy A80. That isn’t entirely bad news as 25W is still a significant improvement over the 15W fast charge technology of its predecessor, the Galaxy Note9.

According to my source, the Note 10 Pro will only have 25w charging, not the 45w previously leaked. The A90 is getting the 45w charging previously written about.

— Max Weinbach (@mweinbachXDA) June 8, 2019

However, the second part of the tweet confirms that Samsung is indeed working on a phone with 45W fast charge technology. That phone, according to Max, is the upcoming Galaxy A90. Yes, it appears the Galaxy A-series will again be the first to come with a key new feature before the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series.

A Samsung device with model number SM-A9050 believed to be the Galaxy A90 was seen on Geekbench last week. It has 6GB of RAM, runs Android 9 Pie and is powered by the Qualcomm SM6150. In this case, it is the Snapdragon 730 as the base frequency is 1.80GHz and not 1.71GHz like the Snapdragon 675 which also appears as SM6150 on Geekbench.

Not a lot is known about the Galaxy A90 but there is a rumor that it may come with a pop-up selfie camera like the Redmi K20.

UP NEXT: Samsung and AMD announce partnership on mobile GPU

The post Galaxy Note10 Pro won’t have 45W fast charging; a different Samsung phone will appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the past few months, Samsung has expanded its Galaxy A series of smartphone by launching multiple smartphones such as Galaxy A10, A20, A30, A40, A50, A60, A70 and A80. The Galaxy A10 is the weakest among them whereas the Galaxy Aa80 is the most powerful A-series phone so far since it is powered by Snapdragon 730. It is believed the Galaxy A90 will be arriving with better specs than the A80 phone. It appears that the arrival of the Galaxy A90 could be drawing near since it has been spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform.

The legitimacy of the Geekbench listing of SM-A9050 is doubted since it is fueled by Snapdragon 675. Considering the fact that the Galaxy A80 is powered by Snapdragon 730, the A90 could be featuring a better chipset. The SoC of the A90 is assisted by 6 GB of RAM. In the single-core test of Geekbench, it has scored 2,504 and it has recorded 6,768 score in multi-core test.

The SD675 powered phones that are benchmarked on Geekbench have usually scored 23XX or lower in single-core test. Also, the SD675 multi-core tests scores haven’t crossed 67XX so far. It is interesting to note that the SD730 processor of the Galaxy A80 was misread as SD75 on Geekbench before the smartphone had gone official. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A90 could either be featuring the SD730 or SD730G, the latter being a gaming-focused chipset.

Rumors surrounding the phone have revealed that it could Samsung’s first smartphone to arrive with a pop-up selfie camera. On other details of the phone are available yet. It could be arriving as the successor of the Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone. Hence, the Galaxy A90 may come equipped with a quad camera setup like the A9 (2018).

The post Samsung Galaxy A90 Geekbench listing appear; Could it be featuring SD730 / SD730G? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung’s Galaxy A90 (or A80 as some have reported it might be called) is one of the hotly anticipated devices from Samsung. The phone is expected to come with a unique camera design that pops up and also rotates to serve as both the rear and front cameras. Ahead of its April 10 expected launch, the phone’s full specifications have been leaked.

The source of the leak is Weibo user Martian-V. According to him, the Galaxy A90 will have a 6.7-inch display just like the Galaxy A70. However, it won’t have a notch at the top of the display for the selfie camera. The display is an AMOLED panel with a 2400 x 1080 resolution.

The processor that will power the Galaxy A90 is the SDM7150, an octa-core chipset with two cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six cores clocked at 1.7GHz. There is no info on the RAM and storage of the phone but we expect it will be available in multiple variants.

The phone will come three rear cameras – a 48MP f/2.0 primary sensor, an 8MP f/2.4 sensor, and a ToF camera. The leaker confirms that the phone indeed has a “pop-up rotating” camera design that allows the rear cameras to work as the front cameras too. This way, the Galaxy A90 should be able to take amazing selfies.

What seems to be new info is the Galaxy A90 pumping sound from the screen just like the LG G8 ThinQ. This is new for a Samsung phone but we are not surprised it is debuting on the Galaxy A series and not the Galaxy S series. Samsung already said it will try out new technologies on other series first before bringing it to the flagship lines.

The Galaxy A90 will also support 25W fast charging and USB Power Delivery. The phone measures 76.5 x 165 x 9 millimeters and weighs 219 grams. It is likely to be unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy A series event scheduled for April 10.

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series has been getting all the attention since it went on sale earlier this month. There are reviews popping up on virtually all tech sites. Nevertheless, it appears Samsung has more high-end devices scheduled for the first half of the year as it has just announced there is another event next month.

The official Samsung Mobile Twitter account just revealed this morning that there will be an event on April 10, 2019. The event will also be live-streamed on Samsung.com.

Enter the era of live. April 10, 2019 – Live on https://t.co/kDIR3TcbZ5 #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/EqN8wF04Wd

— Samsung Mobile (@SamsungMobile) March 18, 2019

The tweet itself doesn’t reveal the device that will be launching but there is a chance it is more than one phone judging from the attached video which shows three displays. One of the screens is an Infinity-V display. The other two screens do not seem to have a notch.

If we were to take a guess, we would say the launch is for new Galaxy A smartphones with one of them being the Galaxy A90. Since there is a dedicated event, it makes sense it is for a high-end Galaxy A smartphone.

The Galaxy A90 is said to have a display without a notch or punch hole like the Galaxy S10 series. So for the front-facing camera, Samsung is said to have adopted a pop-up camera that also rotates. This allows the camera to double as the rear camera too. We are pretty excited to see how Samsung pulls this off.

The post Samsung Mobile schedules new event for April 10, might be for the Galaxy A90 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo NEX was the first smartphone to launch with a pop-up selfie camera. In a few weeks, Vivo will launch its second commercially available smartphone with a pop-up camera – the Vivo V15 Pro. However, it likely won’t be the only pop-up selfie camera phone we are getting from a top manufacturer this year. It has been reported that the Samsung Galaxy A90 will also have a pop-up selfie camera. Concept renders of the device have now surfaced online.

The pop-up selfie camera design is supposed to result in a phone with a very high screen-to-body ratio. For the Galaxy A90, it will be interesting to see if it has a higher screen-to-body ratio than the Galaxy S10 which has a punch hole display or as Samsung calls it, an Infinity-O display.

These renders show that there is still a lower bezel though not a thick one. There are actually two designs for the pop-up selfie camera: one has the camera positioned on the left of the phone’s display just like that of the Vivo NEX while the other has the camera positioned in the middle.

The phone has an in-display fingerprint scanner which has already been reported to be a feature of three Galaxy A-series phones scheduled to launch this year. The Galaxy A90 is one of the devices, so it is no surprise that the designer has included it in these renders.

On its rear, the concept Galaxy A90 has three cameras stacked on top of one another and positioned in the middle of the device. The sensors all share the same housing and there is an LED flash below the setup. The manufacturer’s branding sits a few millimeters beneath it.

The images show the phone in a gradient purple finish but a leak from a few weeks ago said the Galaxy A90 will come in black, silver, and gold color variants. It has also been reported to come in only one storage configuration – 128GB.

Samsung is working on multiple A-series of smartphones at the same time. Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Galaxy A-series phones will be aimed towards the Chinese market in a bid to cover the lost ground.  The rumored Galaxy A90 is expected to arrive as the most powerful A-series phone this year. Popular tipster Ice Universe has revealed that the Galaxy A90 will be a perfect smartphone since it won’t be featuring a notch. The axing of the notch on the phone means it will be equipped with a pop-up selfie camera.

After the iPhone X was introduced with notched screen in 2017, various Chinese manufacturer released notched display smartphones. In 2018, the size of the notch reduced to waterdrop-style on many smartphones. Some phones like Vivo NEX and Find X came with notch-less screen last year. While the Find X had a motorized assembly with front and rear cameras that could automatically rise and go during face authentication and for snapping photos, the Vivo NEX came with a pop-up selfie camera module that could come up for shooting selfie shots.

This year, even upper mid-range phones are expected to arrive with notch-less design with pop-up selfie camera. The Vivo V15 Pro is rumored to arrive with a pop-up selfie camera setup and a triple camera setup on its rear with 32-megapixel primary sensor. The Vivo V15 Pro is expected to go official on Feb. 20 in India. The OPPO R19, R19 Pro and Vivo X25 that are rumored to go official by the first quarter of this year. These phones are also rumored to arrive with pop-up selfie shooters.

It seems that Samsung is playing the catching up game with the Chinese smartphones first by introducing notched display smartphones and now it is rumored to introduce pop-up selfie camera on the Galaxy A90. Previous reports have suggested that it could be arriving as the successor for the Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone.

The model number of the Galaxy A90 is SM-A905F and it is expected to arrive with an internal storage of 128 GB. It may hit the market in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM editions. It is likely to release in color variants like black, gold and silver. Other details of the Galaxy A90 are still under the wraps. The notched screen designs from Samsung are dubbed as Infinity-U and Infinity-V. Probably, the company announce a new notch-less Infinity Display design before introducing it on the Galaxy A90.

Update: Leakster IceUniverse has claimed through a tweet that the Galaxy A90 will be the most advanced version of the Galaxy A series and it will be sporting a unique design. He also added that the phone is being built by the Chinese Samsung team and it will be aimed towards the Chinese market.

Original story:

A report from the previous month had revealed that Samsung may debut two new Galaxy A phones such as Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 in the near future. A newer report from this week had revealed that the South Korean company is also working on three other Galaxy A smartphones such as Galaxy A70 and Galaxy A90. Key details of the Galaxy A90 smartphone have surfaced now to reveal what to expect from it.

The new leak reveals that the Galaxy A90 has a model number of SM-A905F. The handset is rumored to arrive in the market in three color options such as black, silver and gold. Hopefully, these will be color gradient versions.

The Galaxy A90 is expected to arrive with an inbuilt storage of 128 GB. The leak claims that it will be only storage variant of the smartphone. Like the Galaxy A9 (2018) smartphone, the handset could be available in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM editions. Probably, the Galaxy A90 may arrive as the successor of the Galaxy A9 (2018).

The Galaxy A9 (2018) features an 18.5:9 aspect ratio supporting Infinity Display design. However, there is no confirmation on whether the Galaxy A90 will be equipped with a punch-hole screen like the Galaxy A8s or it will be available with Infinity-U or Infinity-V display design. No other information is available on the other specs of the phone.

Speculating that the Galaxy A90 will end up as Galaxy A9 (2018), it may feature an improved quad camera setup. A South Korean publication has recently claimed that the upcoming Galaxy A90, Galaxy A70 and Galaxy A50 smartphones are all coming with under-display fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint sensors for these phones are optical and not ultrasonic that are going to arrive on the Galaxy S10 series phones will debut in the coming month. The Galaxy A50, A70 and A90 phones are expected to go official in Q2 this year. Apart from these phones, Samsung has six other phones planned for 2019.

Samsung is playing catch-up when it comes to certain trends in the mobile industry. For example, it doesn’t have a phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner yet but that should change next month when the Galaxy S10 launches. A new report says the feature will be coming to its Galaxy A-series too.

According to Korean Media, ET News, Samsung will launch three Galaxy A-series phones with under-display fingerprint scanners this year. The three phones are the Galaxy A90, Galaxy A70, and the Galaxy A50. Based on their names, we can assume the Galaxy A90 will be the most powerful of the three.

The source says Samsung already has suppliers for the sensor and modules ahead of the phones’ release in the second quarter. Aegis Technology is said to be the manufacturer of the sensor module which is optical and not ultrasonic like Qualcomm’s. Mass production will be handled by Partron and Mcnex.

Other than these three, Samsung is reported to have six other models planned for this year too. These will likely come with side-mounted and rear-mounted fingerprint scanners. The Galaxy A-series will also come with multiple rear cameras with some having Time of Flight (ToF) 3D sensors.
