Samsung is reportedly working on the Galaxy A82 smartphone. Recently, the smartphone was spotted at Bluetooth SIG and Geekbench’s database. The handset will be succeeding the Galaxy A80, which came with a slide-up rotating camera module as one of its major features. The Galaxy A82 is also expected to arrive with an innovative camera module. Now, German publication GalaxyClub.nl has shared important information about the main camera of the A82.

According to the publication, the Galaxy A82’s camera setup will be featuring a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 lens and not a Samsung ISOCELL GW2/1 sensor. There is no information on the auxiliary cameras of the A82. It is unclear whether the smartphone is equipped with a slide-out camera as its predecessor.

Also, it appears that the device could be aimed towards the South Korean market, and not the European market now. It is said to be equipped with a Quantum Random Number Generator chip for better data encryption.

Past reports have revealed that the Galaxy A82 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 4 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS. The Bluetooth SIG listing of the phone only revealed that it is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0.

The Samsung Galaxy A80 that debuted in 2019 came with specifications like a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a New Infinity notch-less design, Snapdragon 730G chipset, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, and a 3,700mA battery with 25W rapid charging support. The camera module of the A80 comprised of a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a ToF 3D sensor.

Samsung is reportedly working on a new A-series smartphone called the Galaxy A82. Last week, the handset was spotted at the Geekbench’s database. Now, the handset has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority (via).

The Bluetooth SIG listing states that the Galaxy A82 5G moniker is associated with model number SM-826S. The same variant was spotted at Geekbench in the previous week. The Bluetooth certification reveals that the handset supports Bluetooth 5.0 with LE (Low Energy). No other specifications can be found mentioned in the listing.

The Galaxy A82’s Geekbench appearance revealed that it could be powered by the Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+ chipset that fueled flagship phones back in 2019. The listing also revealed that the phone has 4 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS. Devices are known for going official around a month after appearing at Bluetooth SIG. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A82 may go official at some points in the coming month.

The Galaxy A82 will be succeeding the Snapdragon 730G powered Galaxy A80 handset that debuted back in April 2019. While the SD855/855+ chip is old, it is certainly an upgrade as compared to the predecessor model. The major attraction of the A80 was that it sported a notch-less screen and a swivel rear camera module. It remains to be seen whether the Galaxy A82 continues to sport the same design.

The Galaxy A80 came with specs like a 6.7-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ display, an in-screen fingerprint reader, a 3,700mAh battery with 25W fast charging support, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in storage, and a rear camera system featuring a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a TOF 3D lens.

The post Samsung Galaxy A82 bags Bluetooth certification, launching soon? appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Galaxy A80 launched in 2019 as Samsung’s first full-screen device with no notch or punch hole. It was able to achieve this by adopting a slider+ rotating camera design. There have been reports of a successor that will launch as the Galaxy A82, and now it has been spotted on Geekbench with an old but powerful processor.

Multiple benchmark results of the upcoming device, first spotted by Ankit, have appeared on Geekbench under the name “samsung SM-A826S”. The scores are similar and all of the results show that the phone’s processor (motherboard) is “msmnile” a.k.a. the Snapdragon 855, Qualcomm’s 2019 flagship processor. This is definitely an upgrade from the Snapdragon 730G which made its debut in the Galaxy A80 but the fact is that it is a two-year-old flagship chipset.

Actually, we should not be too surprised as Samsung has shown more than a few times already that it is comfortable with using chipsets from its flagships a few years ago for newer devices. The recently launched Galaxy F62 is an example as it uses the Exynos 9825 processor that powered the Galaxy Note10. Another example is the Galaxy Note 10 Lite which launched in early 2020 but uses the Exynos 9810 processor found inside the Galaxy S9 from 2018.

Our guess is that Samsung probably has a lot of these old chipsets in stock and the best way to get rid of them is to ship them with new devices.

The Geekbench result shows that the Galaxy A82 will run Android 11 out of the box and have 6GB of RAM. While we know that the Snapdragon 855 doesn’t have a built-in 5G modem, earlier reports have revealed that the Galaxy A82 will have 5G support. This means that it will have a separate 5G modem just like other 5G phones powered by the same chipset.

Samsung is expected to launch the phone in a few months but we expect more details including its design to surface before an official announcement.

Samsung is among the first smartphone makers to launch a foldable phone and in a short period of time, the company has managed to launch a few models in the market, clearly revealing that the South Korean giant has big plans for this new category.

As per the reports, Samsung is planning to launch three foldable smartphones in the market next year, including Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and an affordable model which could be named Galaxy Z Flip Lite.

Now, the report adds that to keep the phone’s price low, the company has decided to make this an LTE-only smartphone. This means that it won’t have support for the latest 5G communication technology. This makes sense given that the 5G infrastructure is still under development and is limited to select countries only.

The foldable smartphone in question, which carries model number SM-F720F model number, is expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset as that is the company’s last non-5G flagship-grade chipset. It is also the same processor that powers the original Galaxy Z Flip.

Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to launch its Galaxy S21 series of flagship smartphones on 14th January. Ahead of that, the company has already started taking reservations for the pre-orders of the phones in the United States.

In a quoted response to a tweet that said the Realme X3 SuperZoom could launch in India soon, the company executive had asked “How soon?“ and “Which processor to use?”.

Recently, the model numbers of the three Realme X3 phones were spotted in the list of Google Play supported devices. The Realme X3 SuperZoom that debuted in China last month has an RMX2086 model number. The RMX2081 and RMX2085 seemingly belongs to the Realme X3 and Realme X3 Pro smartphones. These models have also received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) which indicates that the Realme X3 series could be coming soon to India. The Google Play Console listing of the Realme X3 surfaced yesterday to reveal some of its key specs. Popular tipster Mukul Sharma took to Weibo to share the key specifications of the Realme X3 smartphone.

According to Sharma, the Realme X3 borrows most of its specs from the Realme X3 SuperZoom smartphone. His leak states that the Realme X3 has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel that produces a Full HD+ resolution and carries support 120Hz refresh rate. The front and backside of the phone seems to be protected by Gorilla Glass 5 panels.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom is an upcoming phone from Realme. The moniker was revealed through its certification by Thailand’s NBTC authority. It revealed that the phone has a model number of RMX2086. The same model number has also appeared at the database of India’s BIS authority and EEC in Russia. Moreover, the RMX2086 popped up on Geekbench benchmarking platform to reveal some of its key specs.

The NBTC, EEC and BIS certification did not reveal any details on the specifications of the Realme X3 SuperZoom handset. However, these listings do suggest that it is not 5G smartphone. The Geekbench 5 listing reveals that the smartphone scored 788 and 2624 in the single-core and multi-core tests.

The Geekbench appearance shows that the phone is driven by “msmnile” Qualcomm chipset. The codename refers to the Snapdragon 855 chipset. Since the predecessor Realme X2 Pro came with Snapdragon 855+ which is an enhanced version of the SD855 chipset, it is likely that the Chinese firm may settle for SD855+ on the X3 Super Zoom. The SoC is coupled with 12 GB of RAM and it is loaded with Android 10 OS. No other information is available on the specs of the device.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom moniker suggests that it will be arriving with impressive zooming capabilities. There is a possibility that the phone could be coming with a 108-megapixel rear camera system. The recent Realme phones across different price segments are all equipped with quad rear cameras. Hence, the Realme X3 SuperZoom could be also coming with four rear-facing cameras.

The X3 SuperZoom appears to be a direct rival from the company for the recently unveiled Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition. The phone’s name also suggests that there could be a vanilla version of the phone called Realme X3.

The Kirin 820 5G is Huawei‘s upcoming mid-range processor and its very first one with support for 5G. A few days ago, some key details of the processor were leaked on the web. Now benchmark results have surfaced that compare it to the Kirin 980 and even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855.

A graph comparing the benchmark scores of the three chipsets was posted on Weibo and it shows the Kirin 820 5G scored 3490 points in the single-core test and 11200 points in the multi-core test.

The chipset scored higher than the Kirin 980 processor which powers phones such as the Huawei P30 series and the Mate 20 series. It even scores higher than the Snapdragon 855 in the single-core test and ties with it for multi-score.

The Kirin 820 5G is a 7nm processor with Cortex-A76 cores and a Mali-G77 GPU. Based on its Geekbench scores, we presume it has four Cortex-A76 cores paired with four Cortex-A55 cores. It has also been revealed that the chipset will have an upgraded NPU and ISP.

Honor’s upcoming phone, the Honor 30S, should be the first device with a Kirin 820 5G chipset.

In October 2019, Microsoft had couple of hardware devices such as Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro X and Android devices such as Surface Neo and Surface Duo. At the event, the company had claimed that the Surface Neo and Surface Duo will be available for purchase by the holiday shopping season. In February, the Surface Duo was spotted publicly which suggested that it may debut soon. A fresh report on Windows Central states that the Redmond based company may announce its release date at the spring event through which it may unveil the Surface Go 2 and Surface Book 3 devices.

The publication claims that the hardware and software for the Surface Duo have been finalized and the company is now optimizing the OS and in-box app experiences. The report states that the software will be read by April. Instead of the latest Snapdragon 865 processor, the Surface Duo is expected to be powered by last year’s Snapdragon 855. Hence, it won’t carry support for 5G connectivity.

The Surface Duo may debut in limited quantities in summer mainly for developers and enthusiasts. The device could be available for purchase by spring alongside the Surface Go and Surface Book 3. Most flagship phones now come with 5G connectivity and even mid-range smartphones will come with 5G support by the end of the year. If the S8D855 powered Surface Duo with no 5G support arrives by the year end, it would be considered outdated. Hence, the company may release the Surface Duo soon.

Microsoft Surface Duo specifications

The Surface Duo is a foldable Android phone that comes with two separate 5.6-inch screens. The new report states that the SD855 driven device will come with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage.

Samsung ran a commercial for the upcoming clamshell Galaxy Z Flip with foldable screen at the Oscars, ahead of launch. This comes as a surprise since the chaebol was expected to formally unveil the smartphone at the Unpacked 2020 event on Feb. 11. 

Samsung is expected to announce its Galaxy S20 lineup at the event along with the Z Flip, which is the highlight of the event. The Galaxy Z Flip is Samsung’s first folding smartphone with a glass display. In the commercial, the device was spotted resting vertically folded to aid video chatting. As it can be seen in the video, the Galaxy Z Flip does not fold completely flat. 

Samsung just showed off the entire Z Flip during its Oscars ad. Small print says screen crease is normal, heh pic.twitter.com/uBesJ0FonT

— nilay patel (@reckless) February 10, 2020

The fine print below the commercial reads “There may be a small crease in the middle of the primary display, which is a general characteristic of the screen”. The advert discloses two color variants, namely purple and black. Unlike the Motorola Razr, the small-sized secondary display flaunts full colors, but cannot be used to control every function on the device. It can only be used to view notifications and answer or reject calls.

Initial reports suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip would be primarily targeted towards the young female audience, and the commercial seems to back up the theory. Especially since the handset is rumored to draw inspiration from the clamshell-shaped powder compact case. While the commercial did not reveal much about the general specifications or price, it clearly mentions that the handset will be formally showcased at Unpacked 2020 on 02.11.2020.

Samsung has historically made huge revelations through commercials aired during the Academy Awards. Previous examples include celebrity product endorsements to issuing a public apology for the exploding Galaxy Note devices. The company has taken the traditional route this year, simply teasing a flagship product ahead of launch.

In October last year, Samsung had said that it is working on a clamshell phone. Assuming this to be successor to the original Galaxy Fold phone, the name Galaxy Fold 2 got held up in every new report on this flip phone. By December, news had it that this next generation Galaxy Fold 2 would get announced alongside the Galaxy S20 series in February 2020. With just two months for its launch, more information on the phone’s name as well as specifications was certainly expected within a span of a few weeks.

Any clouds over the reliability of this tip were cast away when the same name appeared on an Indonesian certification body. To everyone’s delight, later the name also appeared on the database of Thailand’s NBTC regulatory body.

What stayed amiss however was any official update as till then Samsung did not confirm the name for a phone whose design it had showcased months back.

The accessory listing states that the company will be selling a leather cover for its upcoming clamshell phone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip specifications and pricing (Rumored)

Chinese multinational tech conglomerate ZTE is yet to leave an impression on the highly-competitive global smartphone market. Even though the ZTE Axon 7 came quite close to being a hit in select areas, it never quite made it to the list of notable smartphones sold in the US. Last year, the company unveiled the ZTE Axon 10 Pro with impressive specs and pricing after the US trade ban that was imposed on it was canceled. The phone had arrived in February 2019 with Android 9 Pie OS and now its users in Europe and the U.S. are being treated with the latest Android 10 OS.

The Axon 10 Pro runs on ZTE’s proprietary MiFavor Android skin. The company surprised many by announcing the Android 10 OTA for the smartphone back in December 2019 before a lot of prominent smartphone manufacturers. Now a confirmation has come from the company that it has started rolling out Android 10 OTA updates for users. The size of the update is 1.6GB. 

ZTE started rolling out the Android 10 update for European customers a few days back. However, US customers are in for a treat as the company has added a download link to the software at the bottom of the device’s online brochure in the US for installing the update through sideloading. As mentioned, the Android 10 OS can be installed on Axon 10 Pro through OTA.

Although it did have its fair share of flaws like lower megapixel count and failure to work as advertised, the extremely competitive $550 price tag meant users did not have a ton of room for complaints.

Its price was reduced to 2,999 Yuan (~$432) in December and now it has further slashed to 2,799 Yuan (~$403).

The handset was recently spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform which indicated that the company could be internally testing it with Snapdragon 865 mobile platform.

In related news, Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO has confirmed that it will be launching a new phone in February and it won’t be the POCO F2. Reports have claimed that it could be announcing the Indian version of the China’s Redmi K30 4G as POCO X2.

Xiaomi had launched the Poco F1 as its first Pocophone smartphone brand last year with the launch of Snapdragon 845 mobile platform powered Poco F2 smartphone. It was one of the most popular phones of 2018 as it arrived with an astonishingly affordable price tag along with flagship specs. Poco fans have been endlessly waiting for the arrival of the Poco F2. Some reports had claimed that the China’s Redmi K20 Pro could be rebranded as Poco F2 in India. However, that did not happen. Other rumors had claimed that Xiaomi may kill the Poco brand and continue to sell cheaper flagship phones under Redmi branding. A fresh tweet from Pocophone Global Head Alvin Tse reveals that the company has no plans to desert the brand and it may launch a new Poco phone in 2020. The tweet has since been taken down.

The above shown tweet sates, “You will hear more from POCO in 2020.” This seems to be a good hint that the Poco F2 will be made official in 2020. Tse did not share any information on the specs of the Poco F2. The tweet does not really tell that the Poco F2 is next year. Xiaomi’s sub-brand will announce something new next year. It could be the much-awaited Poco F2 or some other Poco product.

This year, the Redmi entered the upper mid-range and flagship segment with the launch of Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro smartphones. Since the Redmi K20 series carried pricing that were similar to the launch price of Poco F1, it was difficult to guess how Xiaomi could be pricing the Poco F2. It appears that the Chinese manufacturer decided to postpone the launch of Poco F2 to year 2020.

Redmi has recently launched the Redmi K30 in China. The Dimensity 1000 or Snapdragon 865 powered Redmi K30 Pro may break cover by March 2020. The Redmi K20 series had arrived with a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera. The Redmi K30 that has gone official in China features a dual punch-hole display. The Redmi K30 Pro may also arrive with a similar design. As far as Poco F2 is concerned, it may sport a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie snapper like the Redmi K20 series. Case renders of the alleged Poco F2 that had appeared few months had suggested that it may appear like the Redmi K20 Pro.

Poco F2 Specifications

The Poco F2 could be sporting a polycarbonate chassis like the predecessor to keep the cost low. However, it may arrive with some attractive design. It could be featuring an IPS LCD notch-less display and its rear could be equipped with triple cameras. India did not receive the Snapdragon 855+ edition of the Redmi K20 Pro that was unveiled as Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition earlier in China. The Poco F1 had launched as the cheapest SD845 SoC powered phone last year in India Hence, there is a possibility that the Poco F2 could be arriving as the cheapest smartphone driven by the SD855+ SoC. All these are just speculations. It is advisable to wait for further leaks to know more about the Poco F2.
