We're inching ever closer to the time at which holograms are a real possibility for mobile smart devices. Only a few years ago I'd have completely disavowed the possibility that a mobile hologram were a reasonable pursuit of a major mobile tech company. Now, with what we've just seen in the last year - and what we're expecting in 2019 - the possibilities don't seem nearly so impossible.
This morning several key details of the Samsung Galaxy S10 were leaked in the form of accessory photos. What we see is the clearest vision yet of the three different Samsung Galaxy S10 models. This is slightly different from the previously discussed "3 Bears" fable setup. Instead, we've got a medium and a large, then a small that has an entirely different display.
In the past, Samsung has been criticized, warranted or not, for copying Apple’s designs and features. These days, Samsung may be accused of settings its eyes on the smartphone market’s new #2. From the triple cameras to the dock-less desktop mode, Samsung may be seen as trying to catch up to Huawei’s rising popularity. The latest leaked feature for the upcoming Galaxy S10 definitely isn’t doing it any favors, as it will be seen as copying the Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s reverse wireless charging feature, whether it makes sense or not.
Well, that didn't take long: the Infinity Blade is leaving Fortnite just as quickly as it appeared. Epic announced that it's vaulting the Infinity Blade for the time being, giving no indication of when the weapon might return. If you were sick of falling victim to the overpowered weapon, then it sounds like you can resume playing Fortnite in peace.
At this point the folks planning the release of the Samsung Galaxy S10 must feel like leakers have done their job for them. It's not easy hiding the most major smartphone release of the year - especially when you've got a worldwide release on your hands. While about a half decade ago it seemed like companies like Samsung and Apple had a handle on leaks for the most part, here in 2018 it seems like the bigger the phone company, the more major the leaks.
Today it would seem that the Samsung Galaxy S10 had a bit of a change done to earlier tipped release dates. The event, it would seem, isn't going to match up with previously teased reveal dates - not quite. The same is true of the first wave of phones. While we've been pretty sure of three versions of the Galaxy S10 were coming at some point in the first half of 2019, it's now become clear that two will look different from the third.
Samsung has a new pen-enabled 2-in-1 laptop, the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen, promising performance and even a standalone GPU option in a sleek, all-metal design. Two versions of the notebook will be offered, the Notebook 9 Pen 13 with a 13.3-inch display, and the Notebook 9 Pen 15, which kicks things up to a 15-inch display with an NVIDIA graphics chip.
While Samsung’s foldable phone, which may be called the Galaxy Fold or Galaxy Flex, might be 2019 much-anticipated device, it won’t be something majority of consumers will actually buy. As far as Samsung flagships are concerned, that role still falls on the Galaxy S series and, if it still exists, the Galaxy Note phone. Samsung does seem to be piling up “innovative” features on the Galaxy S10 but with all the new hardware, it raises the question of how much those will sell for.
Today we've got a bit more information about the Samsung Galaxy S10 family's many various camera arrays. The Samsung Galaxy S10 will come in at least three configurations, one "Lite", another just called Galaxy S10, and another with "Plus" at the tail end of its name. These devices will carry between two and three cameras on their backs.
This week industry sources suggested that Samsung Display reached an agreement with Apple to supply iPhones with flexible touch OLED. These same sources said that it's likely the next iPhone will work with flexible touch OLED displays. It's likely Apple will only use this flexible OLED display on one singular iPhone, while the rest will continue to use slightly more traditional means of touchscreen tech with displays as separate components.
When Samsung announced its own take on the AI-powered smart assistant, there were naturally some doubts as to Samsung’s ability to carry through its vision. The botched launch of Bixby and other criticisms made it even less certain that the company will be able to deliver what it promised. One of those is support for languages other than Korean, Chinese, and English. The good news: that’s partially being delivered. The bad news: it’s only available for a very select few.
Today we're taking a peek at an unfolding story of Samsung teaming up with the clothing and accessories brand Supreme. An announcement was made at Samsung's China-based reveal event for the Samsung Galaxy A8s that the brand Samsung would be collaborating with the brand Supreme. In a twist, it would appear that the Supreme in this collaboration is not the original Supreme, but an Italy-based group that aimed to essentially steal the Supreme brand for their own products.
