Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus leaked images shows the device from every angle

We already know that Samsung will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S10 series a week before the biggest mobile show, Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019, on February 20th. By now a lot of details about the Galaxy S10 series have been leaked including the CAD renders, specifications and case manufacturers renders.

Today, we have the first look of both the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus from every angle confirming the earlier design leak and leaving nothing to the imagination. Leaked by German blog AllAboutSamsung, widely known for covering every Samsung news, the live images are of the prototypes of the S10 and the S10+.

As you can see in the images, the Galaxy S10 series will bring new infinity display with the punch-hole design. Samsung is calling that display setup Infinity O. With minimal bezels on the top and a smaller chin on the bottom, the Galaxy S10 line-up will provide an immersive experience.

On the rear, the Galaxy S10 and the S10 Plus will house triple cameras paired with a heart-rate sensor and dual-LED flash, all clubbed together in a wide horizontal rectangular box. The key differences between the S10 and its Plus variant are the larger display size, extra RAM and storage configurations, and dual-front facing punch-hole cameras on the latter variant.

OnePlus 7 leaked live image reveals notch-less sliding camera design

OnePlus has now become a household name. The company started its operations back in 2013 as a kickstarter project with the OnePlus One and the OnePlus 6T is its best representation of how great an affordable phone can be. After launching the OnePlus 3, OnePlus released a slightly upgraded variant of the same with the moniker OnePlus 3T, and since then its been followed for every new OnePlus device launch.

OnePlus' next flagship will be called the OnePlus 7 and the leaks have started coming in already. The company is expected to showcase the OnePlus 7 smartphone in Q2 of 2019.

The first OnePlus 7 leak comes courtesy of CoolAPK (removed), later reposted by SlashLeaks, a discussion platform where anonymous users share images/details of upcoming devices. The image leaked shows an unknown OnePlus smartphone (on the left) besides the latest OnePlus 6T smartphone (on the right), both in a protective case.

The device on the left happens to have a full-screen bezel-less display with no waterdrop notch as seen on the 6T. The bezels on the edges are also minimal and the right side hosts the alert slider with the power button just below it. It can be clearly noticed that the alert slider has a red paint job, not seen on any OnePlus device.

Samsung to launch Galaxy S10 series and foldable smartphone on February 20th; Everything you need to know

In surprising news, Samsung has officially announced that it will be hosting its first annual Galaxy UNPACKED event on February 20th, 2019 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

The invite blog post does not include the name "Galaxy S10" but it clearly shows number '10' and reads "Welcome to the next generation" followed by another blog post titled "A Journey of Mobile Innovation" where the company talks about how it layered the foundation of the Galaxy S series and plans for shaping the next ten years with the launch of the 10th anniversary Galaxy flagship series smartphone.

In another news, The Wall Street Journal reports that Samsung will showcase 'a fully-functional foldable smartphone' at the same Galaxy S10 launch event. The device is anticipated to be called the Galaxy F or Galaxy Fold, based on the name trademarks by Samsung. The Samsung foldable smartphone is in news since 2017 and it's finally happening.

Samsung at its Developer Conference in late-2018 unveiled the Infinity Flex Display, where it gave a glimpse (attached below) of its unfinished foldable smartphone, which more or less looked like a box/book with displays embedded in it. Though it had a protective case on top, the device didn't impress many. We hope Samsung has worked on the design after hearing rave reviews since its demonstration and made it better than the Xiaomi's upcoming foldable device.

First ever renders of Huawei P30 reveals triple cameras, tear-drop notch, and return of headphone jack

Huawei had an amazing 2018 with the launch of the Huawei P20 Pro and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Both the smartphones performed exceptionally well last year not only in the hardware department but also in the camera department. The P20 Pro even grabbed the crown of the best camera smartphone of 2018 by DxOMark.

To continue the legacy, Huawei is already working on the successor to the P20 and P20 Pro smartphones. Renders leaked by @OnLeaks in collaboration with 91Mobiles reveals the first ever look of the upcoming Huawei P30 smartphone.

As we can see in the renders, the Huawei P30 will house major design changes compared to its predecessor. The front of the P30 will come with a 6-inch Full HD+ OLED display with minimal bezels and a tear-drop notch, similar to the Essential Phone but smaller, housing the selfie camera. Unlike the P20, the Huawei P30 will come with triple rear cameras paired with a dual-LED flash.

The fingerprint scanner, which was included in the front home-button on the P20, is now moved under-the-display on the Huawei P30, which is a welcome change as many manufacturers are already moving towards in-display fingerprint scanner.

On the right frame, we have the volume rockers followed by the power button. The bottom hosts the speaker grill, USB Type-C port, antenna bands, primary microphone and the return of the 3.5mm headphone jack, which was missing from last years line-up.

Motorola's Moto Z4 Play is coming soon with water-drop notch, in-display fingerprint scanner and Moto Mod support

Motorola started the Moto Z series including the Moto Z, Moto Z Force, and Moto Z Play, back in September 2016. The unique element of the Z family is the support for Moto Mod, which basically is case-like accessories that are attached to the rear of the Moto Z smartphones via a series of magnets to provide additional functionality.

The Moto Z family was then succeeded by the Moto Z2 family in 2017 and the latest is the Moto Z3 family launched in 2018. Continuing the legacy, Motorola will be launching the successor to the Moto Z3 Play smartphone soon.

Popular leaker @onleaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer) in partnership with CompareRaja has leaked the first 3D renders of the upcoming Moto Z4 Play smartphone. Do note that the renders shared aren't the official renders created by Motorola, rather are based on the internal information obtained by Hemmerstoffer.

Moto Z4 Play Design

Let's start with the design of the Moto Z4 Play. As we can see in the renders Motorola will finally adopt the water-drop notch style but will implement it similar to the Essential PH-1 Phone. The Motorola branding has been removed from the front-bottom of the Z4 Play compared to its predecessor.

The backside will house a single rear camera with LED flash just below it. Both of which will be placed inside a circular pattern, a Motorola trait. The Motorola branding dimple sits in the center and the Moto Mod support on the bottom. We are expecting Z4 Play to support the upcoming 5G Moto Mod.

Is Xiaomi working on a dual-sided foldable smartphone? Alleged video leaked

Smartphones are getting crazy every year. A few years back phone manufacturers were focusing on eliminating the bezels around the screen so that users get a more screen-to-body ratio. Also, today an ideal smartphone screen-size is anywhere between 5.8-inches to 6.3-inches, which previously used to be tagged as phablets.

Now, in 2019, the trend will be to bridge the gap between a tablet and a smartphone, by making the tablet foldable. Korean giant Samsung is working on producing a foldable smartphone for many years and it also showcased the same last year in November. Honestly, that particular Samsung foldable smartphone was more like a brick.

Out of the blue, highly recognized leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) on Twitter shared an alleged video of a foldable smartphone today, which according to his source is made by Xiaomi. So, is Xiaomi indeed secretly working on a two-sided foldable smartphone?

As you can see in the video below, its a tablet-sized device which can be folded from both the sides to change its form factor. The bezels on the top and the bottom are minimal, but the device definitely appears thick after getting folded as a smartphone.

The UI, which does match to Xiaomi's proprietary MIUI 10 looks responsive and also blends quite fast depending on the number of folds. One fold and the device turns into a box-shaped device and two folds turn it into a smartphone.

Blass is not sure about the authenticity of the video or device, but if true, Xiaomi could be one of the many companies to launch a foldable smartphone later in 2019. The current list of companies planning to launch a foldable smartphone includes Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo.

Nokia 9 PureView promo video leaked; reveals Penta-camera setup, in-display fingerprint scanner

Smartphones with an inbuilt camera was a game changer. And 10 years down the line, the development of cameras in smartphones are huge, as they are giving strict competition to the DSLRs. With the advancements in the camera sensors for smartphones, the number of sensors in the same is also increasing. Dual-camera phone was a trend in 2016, and 2018 brought phones with triple-camera setup and even a four rear-camera sensor smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A9.

In 2019, Nokia, resurrected by HMD Global, is said to be the world's first smartphone vendor to launch a phone with Penta-camera setup (5 rear camera setup). Dubbed as the Nokia 9 PureView, the smartphone details have been leaked already, but today we have the first ever promo video of the Nokia 9 PureView revealing itself in its full glory.

Leaked by the good folks of MySmartPrice, the Nokia 9 PureView is said to be unveiled in the last week of this month (January 2019). The promo video (embedded below) not only confirms the Penta-camera setup but also reveals many key features of the smartphone.

By @evleaks

Starting with the camera setup, the 5 cameras on the Nokia 9 PureView will come with ZEISS optics. All the five rear sensors will work simultaneously and users can take advantage of it in different lighting conditions, especially low-light. With 5 cameras, Nokia is claiming that the device can capture 10 times more light than any other regular smartphone camera sensor.

Exact details of the camera sensors like megapixel count, aperture, sensor type are yet unknown, but we can expect it to be similar to the Galaxy A9. The promo video does reveal that the users will be able to adjust the depth-of-field of the photos after a shot has been taken within the Google Photos app.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Active leaked in hands-on video revealing key details including 4000mAh battery

Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ smartphones earlier this year in late-March. The Galaxy S8 series brought a whole new design language for the Samsung smartphones. In 2013, soon after the global rollout of the Galaxy S4 smartphone, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S4 Active with IP67 certification.

The series continued since then by the introduction of the Galaxy S5 Active, the Galaxy S6 Active and the Galaxy S7 Active, all with IP67 and IP68 certification respectively along with MIL-STD-810G certification which gives salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock resistance, which helps differentiating them with the originals.

Samsung Galaxy S8 first live image leaked along with key details, launching on March 29th

After Samsung Galaxy Note7 havoc, everyone seems to be waiting for the next-generation Galaxy S smartphone, easily referred to as the Samsung Galaxy S8. Internet is full of rumors and leaks surrounding the Galaxy S8 with no authentic source. Finally, VentureBeat and @evleaks, together, have published the first ever live image of the most-awaited and upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone.

The report not only leaks the image of the smartphone, but also shares key specifications and launch details of the Galaxy S8. According to VB, Samsung will be launching two different variants of the Galaxy S8.

For the past several years, Samsung has launched the Galaxy S smartphones at MWC, but it won't be the same this time. The first* Samsung Unpacked 2017 event will take place on March 29th in New York City, highlights VB. (* Samsung will be launching the Galaxy Note 8 later this year)

Starting with display and size, unlike flat and edged variants of the Galaxy S6 & S7, both the Galaxy S8 variants will come with dual-edged display. The major difference will be in size. The regular model will come with a 5.8-inch display and the Plus variant will host a 6.2-inch display. These models are even larger than the Galaxy Note smartphones.

LG G6 renders leaked, no more modular design; to launch at MWC 2017 with 5.7" QHD+ display

LG has been doing good with its G series of smartphones. It all started with the introduction of LG Optimus G in 2012 followed by the LG G2, the LG G3, the LG G4 and the latest iteration of the G series is the LG G5. The smartphone was announced last year in February with unique but gimmicky modular design which didn't worked out well for the company in terms of sale.

LG seems to be busy building the successor of the LG G5 smartphone, which will be called the LG G6. As the device launch is around the corner, first renders of the upcoming G6 smartphone derived from CAD data have been leaked online.

The renders are coming from @OnLeaks. If you look at the images closely, you will notice that LG has moved away from modular design concept introduced with the LG G5. The design of LG G6 include dual rear camera on the back with dual-tone LED flash in-between them. Beneath the camera module there's a fingerprint scanner which doubles as power / lock button.

Unlike other manufacturers who have #courage to opt-out 3.5mm headphone jack, LG will still host it on the G6. On the left, we can see volume rockers, with speakers and USB Type-C port on the bottom. The device is said to come with metal build with glossy and matte finish.

Contradicting the metal build news, ETNews is reporting that the upcoming LG G6 will come with a glass finish on both the back and the front. The front of G6 is said to employ 2.5D curved glass produced by Biel Company. On the back will be a 3D glass panel by C&S Glass, similar to what we see on the Galaxy S7.

The reason why LG is shifting from metal to glass build is because of wireless charging capability. The device is also said to be waterproof, putting in line with latest flagships from Apple and Samsung.

Talking more about the LG G6, LG has officially confirmed to WSJ that it is opting out of the modular design concept with the introduction of LG G6, as the company will focus into making a phone that is great in the aesthetics department.

Another news related to G6 is that LG Display has unveiled the world's first 5.7-inch QHD+ LCD display for smartphones with 18:9 (in simple words 2:1) aspect ratio. LG Display did confirm that this new panel will be used in LG Electronics next flagship smartphone launching later this year.

This new display panel comes with 2880 x 1440 pixel resolution and has 564ppi pixel density. 18:9 aspect ratio display is first of its kind. Display panels aspect ratio have evolved a lot since the introduction of larger display from 4:3, to 3:2, 5:3 and 16:9; lately, a 17:9 ratio display has been introduced on Xiaomi's Mi Mix.

Google soon to launch two Android Wear smartwatches codenamed Angelfish and Swordfish

Google announced the Android Wear platform two years back in March with first smartwatches running on that platform was LG's G Watch and Motorola's Moto 360. Following this, many OEMs have been manufacturing these watches and have achieved success regarding their sales and the experience they offer to their consumers.

But we have often wondered, just like we have Google's Nexus smartphones, why don't we have Nexus smartwatch. Google may have heard all these questions after all. After two years of success, it's about time, Google is reportedly building its own two Android Wear devices – which are probably Nexus branded, reports Android Police (referred as AP further).

AP is rating this rumor of Google building Nexus smartwatches a confidence level of 9 out of 10. According to AP, these two alleged smartwatches will be called Angelfish and Swordfish. Angelfish will be the larger one with LTE connectivity, GPS and heart rate sensor while the Swordfish will be smaller and won't sport the added connectivity and will be more pocket friendly.

The site has also released the first recreated images of the upcoming devices. AP notes that Google is currently in process of prototyping these smartwatches and it is yet unknown when they're going to be released. Also, the devices might end up looking completely different from what the below images show. It is also possible that either of them could be cancelled or delayed.
