Samsung

Countdown for the launch of Samsung’s next-generation smartwatch has officially started. After various rumors and countless back and forth, we have July 22 as the alleged release date; as it nears - we can expect more details of the watch to surface. From what we already know, courtesy some of the most credible speculations we have come across, the new smartwatch dubbed Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is going to be a worthy successor to the first generation Galaxy Watch.

Don't be surprised if you notice a rise in gadgets that use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria. Although not exactly a way to kill the COVID-19 coronavirus, these trinkets promise peace of mind by killing the other harmful organisms that could weaken your immune system against the deadly virus. ZAGG recently launched such "UV sanitizers" for smartphones and, unsurprisingly, Samsung is also jumping on board with one of its own.

The clamshell design of the new Motorola Razr and the Galaxy Z Flip might hardly be what many people envision when they hear the words "foldable phone". That design, however, was not only cheaper to make but also seemed to appeal to a certain class of smartphone users. Clamshells or flip phones, despite coming from an age gone by, have always carried with them an air of class, uniqueness, and self-expression. Capitalizing on that association, Samsung is launching a new service in its home country that will let owners of the Galaxy Z Flip personalize their phones with a variety of skins that scream "I'm different!".

Today the Samsung Galaxy Note20 (or Note 20 if you prefer) was leaked in a set of images posted to Samsung's official webpage in Russia. The version of the device that's leaked seems to be connected to the name "Mystic Bronze" and is most likely the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra. This version of the device previously appeared in leaks which indicated similar designs - but this seems to be the real deal.

Although things look less grim compared to the start of the year, there is still some uncertainty on whether it would be wise or even safe to hold massive events and trade shows. The organizers of IFA, one of the world's largest tech expos every year, think it's OK to do so in September. It seems that Samsung doesn't exactly agree and has reportedly decided not to participate this year, paving the way for other companies to do the same.

Samsung today announced a new lineup of 2.5-inch quad-level cell SSDs that will all be part of the 870 QVO series. Storage options for these drives start out in familiar territory with 1TB, 2TB, and even 4TB models, but for the 870 QVO, Samsung is rolling out the big guns, announcing that the series will be home to an 8TB drive as well. Expect that to cost a pretty penny when it releases later this year.

It is increasingly apparent that the Galaxy Note 20 is Samsung's "mea culpa" over the Galaxy S20, at least when it comes to its features. While the price will most likely be just as high as the Galaxy S20, thanks to the S Pen, but it might be cutting down on some of the more excessive features of its predecessor. It will also be addressing some of the complaints with the Galaxy S20' supposedly great camera, particularly that sensor's biggest flaw when it comes to staying focused.

If you haven't yet heard by now, Samsung's best selling 5G phone in the past six months isn't the Galaxy S20. Sure, the company's high-end phone does have its fair share of buyers but even Samsung has practically admitted defeat in making its sales numbers not sound so terrible. The 5G-enabled Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 are, instead, some of its more popular handsets this year so far. And that may be giving Samsung the confidence to further push that mid-range series with what could be its most affordable 5G phone yet.

As Samsung holds their next launch event and release date reveal for the Galaxy Note 20 and friends, the company is tipped to change their strategy for the future. A report this week says that Samsung Unpacked 2020 (for the Note 20, ZFlip 5G, and Fold 2) will sign a change for Samsung's release schedule. Instead of releasing two "flagship" phones a year, they're tipped to release one new "flagship" phone every 3 months!

If foldable phones look and sound like luxuries few people would be able to get their hands on it's because that's exactly what they are. The combination of their price and fragility pretty much ensures that these will never be commonplace, at least in the foreseeable future. Samsung, which helped spur the foldable phone market in the first place, was expected to also push more affordable foldable phones as well. Unfortunately, now it seems that won't be the case this year as plans for what was believed to be the Galaxy Fold Lite 4G is reportedly being put on hold.

Today a set of images leaked details for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, a device with a nearly full-frontal coverage display and a large camera array at the back. The back side of this device is quite simple - a rectangle in the uper left-hand corner with an array of high-powered lenses and a giant LED flash. The front appears to roll with a giant display and a single circular cut-out in the center of the device's forehead.

Most eyes might be on the Galaxy Note 20 in August but it won't be the only one on Samsung's stage. Some might actually be more interested in seeing what's changed in Samsung's third foldable phone which leaks suggest has undergone quite a transformation. In addition to a larger screen and narrower bezels, Samsung has reportedly switched to using a punch-hold camera cutout for the Galaxy Fold 2. The catch, it might look rather strange on the face of a nearly unbroken flexible screen.
