[Poll Results!] Would you buy a mid-range Galaxy phone for the S Pen?

When the Galaxy Note series first debuted back in 2011, it was supposed to offer two attractions that you couldn’t find on any other smartphone, Galaxy-branded or otherwise: a big screen, and the S Pen stylus. Over the years, big screens have become quite mainstream, but the S Pen has remained unmatched and is currently the only feature that truly differentiates Samsung’s Galaxy Note lineup.

While Samsung has been making mid-range tablets that support the S Pen, the stylus has not been seen on any Galaxy smartphone other than a Galaxy Note flagship, except for the Galaxy Note 3 Neo that was launched in 2014. Now, Samsung is working on a device called the Galaxy Note 10 Lite, which could possibly be a upper mid-range device that’s bundled with the S Pen. And, recently, we speculated that the S Pen may end up coming to the Galaxy A series as well, after discovering a mysterious new Samsung device that doesn’t fit any of the company’s current smartphone lineups.

In short, the S Pen may soon cease to be exclusive to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note smartphones. For many, that will hurt the charm and uniqueness of the Galaxy Note series, but for Samsung, it makes sense. The company’s latest flagships are doing quite well, but the general trend in the smartphone market these days suggests that consumers are no longer as interested in flagship phones as they were a few years ago.

People are also holding on to their phones longer, and competition in the mid-range market is getting more and more intense at the same time. Samsung may not be able to match the competition when it comes to the value-for-money quotient in the mid-range segment, but it can attract customers by offering a feature like the S Pen and the related software functionality, which no other manufacturer has been able to replicate.

And here’s the question we’re asking today: Would you buy a mid-range Galaxy smartphone for the S Pen? Vote in the poll below, then tell us why you would or would not buy a mid-range phone for the S Pen — and any other thoughts you may have on the matter — down in the comments section.

Results: As we had been expecting, a majority of voters said they would buy a mid-range phone with the S Pen, with 45% votes going to that option of the poll. 29% of voters, however, said they wouldn’t buy such a device, while 26% said they would like to see such a device before they make a decision, and it’s possible they will see such a device very soon.

Why the Samsung Galaxy Fold often feels like a missed opportunity

By now, Samsung fans and detractors alike know everything there is to know about the Galaxy Fold. To recap, it was unveiled and then delayed due to some pretty obvious issues. To its credit, Samsung took the time to see what needed fixing and did that in order to get the device out.

It can’t be considered a failed launch by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary, given the reception it has received in the market, the Galaxy Fold appears to be selling much better than Samsung would have hoped.

We have been big supporters of the Galaxy Fold throughout its entire journey. But as much as we love the groundbreaking nature of the device, we now feel that that the first foldable smartphone represents a bit of a missed opportunity for Samsung.

There’s no denying the fact that the Galaxy Fold is an experimental device. That’s one of the reasons why it has been sold in such limited quantities and why the entire process has been so tightly controlled. Many customers who picked up the device were true Samsung fans. They spent $2,000 on a phone just to experience Samsung’s cutting edge technology. They might have also thought that the Galaxy Fold would be at the forefront of software development as well.

Galaxy Fold software could do more with the foldable form factor

That couldn’t be further from the truth. We have highlighted before how Samsung has been indifferent about the software experience for Galaxy Fold users. There hasn’t been much in the way of new software features being released for the device after its launch. Even improvements that should have been there from the start haven’t been sent out. Case in point: the lack of functionality for the cover display. It doesn’t make any sense as to why the cover display is still not being used to its full potential. It’s not even possible to register fingerprints on the cover display.

As we’ve talked about before, it doesn’t make much sense why there’s no option to activate the cover display when using the foldable display as a viewfinder for the camera. Doing this would allow the subject to take a look at the framing and composition and make any adjustments to their pose before the photo is taken. Samsung didn’t work on this in the time it took to fix the device’s issues and it hasn’t done anything about it since the device came out in September.

Software updates and the so-called Premier Service are lackluster as well

It’s clear that Samsung is just sending out regular security updates for this phone as it would for a regular phone. However, the Galaxy Fold is anything but a regular phone and that’s what makes Fold owners like myself disappointed. Samsung has an experimental device out in the hands of people who would understand and would actually appreciate being used as testers for new and innovative features. Yet it’s choosing to do nothing with this opportunity.

Another inconsistency that still exists is the difference in the update release schedule for the 4G and 5G variants of the Galaxy Fold. The 5G variant has typically received updates much later than the 4G variant. This is something we have particularly witnessed with our own 5G units procured from Germany.

Samsung had also made a big deal about the Galaxy Fold Premier Service when the device came out. It was meant to make the process of dealing with support easier if something were to go wrong with the device. One of our units developed a few dead pixels and it took us more than a month to get it fixed from Samsung Germany. The process was unnecessarily long and didn’t show any signs of being premium.

Early adopters of the Galaxy Fold would certainly appreciate it if the company took an initiative to bring more software features that take advantage of the foldable form factor, even if they’re experimental in nature. They actually expect that for this device, and we feel that Samsung should pay heed and actually do something about it.

Exclusive: Galaxy S11 will be capable of 8K video recording

We have long advocated the idea that the Galaxy S11 needs to be a superstar in the camera department. Some of Samsung’s rivals have really upped their camera game so it’s about time that the Korean giant made some strides of its own.

All of the Galaxy S11 rumors that we have heard so far do suggest that it’s going to be a beast in the camera department. There’s also an expectation that it’s going to have support for 8K video recording. This is something that we can now confirm.

Galaxy S11 is capable of recording 8K video

Our sources tell us that the Galaxy S11 will indeed be capable of recording 8K video. The first hint about this possibility came when the Exynos 990 processor was announced. It’s the chip that’s going to power the Galaxy S11. It does have the capability of recording 8K video at 30 frames-per-second.

An APK teardown of the Samsung Camera app included in the fourth One UI 2.0 beta firmware had references in the code for 8K video recording. That was another hint about this feature’s chances for the Galaxy S11.

The Galaxy S11 is expected to feature a 108MP primary camera. One of the reasons why the Galaxy S11’s camera setup is codenamed “Hubble” is because it’s expected to support 5x optical zoom as well. The zoom camera is also going to have support for optical image stabilization.

Samsung isn’t due to unveil the Galaxy S11 until early next year. Chances are the company will go for an event in February. It’s certainly shaping up to be an exciting device for those who prefer Samsung’s Galaxy S series. We’ll be sure to bring you more information about the device as soon as we hear it.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite renders show a headphone jack

Yet another upcoming Galaxy smartphone has been revealed through leaked renders. This time, leakster OnLeaks has managed to procure renders of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite, showing us what the Galaxy Note 10 knock-off will look like. And perhaps the main thing to notice here is that the Note 10 Lite, unlike its flagship cousins, has a headphone jack. However, that is to be expected, as the Note 10 Lite is supposed to be an upper mid-range device and Samsung isn’t getting rid of the headphone jack on mid-range phones just yet.

The Note 10 Lite renders are rather dark, but it’s easy to see that the overall design will closely resemble that of the Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy A91, Galaxy A51, and even the Galaxy S11. Like those devices, the Note 10 Lite will also have a rather wide and rectangular rear camera cutout even though it will have only three rear cameras. That’s a design choice Samsung first made with the budget Galaxy M30s earlier this year, and it seems it will continue to do so for all of its upcoming smartphones as well.

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite could measure 163.9 x 76 x 8.6mm, according to OnLeaks, which would make its overall size pretty much the same as the Galaxy Note 10+, which measures 162.3 x 77.2 x 7.9 mm. The screen size is a mystery for now, but a 6.7-6.8″ panel seems likely given those dimensions. As far as the specs are concerned, the Note 10 Lite was should have the Exynos 9810 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and Android 10. A Bluetooth-enabled S Pen and an in-display fingerprint reader should be included as well.

There is currently no word on how much the Galaxy Note 10 Lite will cost or when it will go on sale, although a previous rumor said it could go official in India later this month. We’ll have to wait and see if that turns out to be the case and just how affordable the “lite” Note 10 will be. Until then, you can follow our roundup of Galaxy Note 10 Lite rumors to be on top of everything that gets revealed about the handset before its official announcement.

No Android 10 betas planned for Galaxy A series phones

Owners of Galaxy A series phones like the Galaxy A50 will have to wait for the stable version of Android 10 to come to their phones, as Samsung isn’t planning to hold a beta program for any Galaxy A smartphone. The company confirmed this in its community forums in Korea. The wording used suggests that plans could change later down the line, especially as it included not one, not two but three A series devices in the public beta testing of Android Pie earlier this year.

Two of those devices were the Galaxy A7 (2018) and Galaxy A6 (2018), for which Android Pie was the first major OS update, and the third was the Galaxy A7 (2017). The A7 (2017) only received the Android Pie update in Korea as it was launched in Samsung’s home country with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box while shipping with Android Nougat in all other countries, but still, the company did have a beta program for its A series phones last year, and it could do the same with Android 10.

Right now, however, owners of Galaxy A series phones eligible for the Android 10 update are out of luck and should not be too hopeful of getting early access. According to Samsung’s official schedule for Android 10, Galaxy A smartphones will start getting the update sometime in April. At least the Galaxy A30 could make the jump in some countries in January, but since these official schedules are subject to change, there’s no telling if Samsung will be sticking to the currently proposed timeline.

Galaxy S8 and Note 9 remain the most popular Android phones in the USA

The most popular Android smartphones in the USA might not be the ones you’re thinking of unless you’re thinking of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 9. That is according to a PCMag report based on data gathered from the Speedtest mobile app.

Samsung is the second-largest mobile manufacturer in the USA, following Apple, so there’s no surprise that the three most popular Android smartphones in the states are made by the Korean tech giant. However, these popular models are not from the latest generation, which might come as a surprise to those of you who tend to follow a yearly upgrade schedule.

Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S8 dominate the US market

The Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S8 are, by far, the most popular Android smartphones in the USA, and that is partly because they had more time on the market compared to newer models like the Galaxy S10 series, and especially the Note 10. Although the newer Galaxy flagships have sold very well, many Galaxy S8 and Note 9 users haven’t felt the need to upgrade to a newer model yet.

This could change next year, at least for Galaxy S8 owners who might want a piece of One UI 2 and Android 10. The newer OS version will not be coming to the Galaxy S8 series, and the only way to experience it officially will be to upgrade to a newer device, whether it’s going to be the Galaxy S11 or a Galaxy A (2020) model.

As it stands, the Galaxy Note 9 seems to be more popular among users residing in the Southwest USA and across the West Coast. The Galaxy S8 has more traction in the Northern USA and the South East, while the Galaxy S9+ is seemingly very popular in South Dakota and Connecticut.

Keep in mind that this data was gathered from users who have benchmarked their devices and mobile connections using the Speedtest mobile app. It might not tell the complete story of which Android smartphones are popular and where. However, given Samsung’s position in the US market, it would be outlandish to think that the most popular Android smartphones in the country are not made by Samsung.

Which Galaxy smartphone do you own? Do you relate to these findings, or are you rocking a different model that hasn’t been mentioned in this story? Join us in the comment section below.

Galaxy Note 9

  • Model: SM-N960F

Samsung tops Q3 sales in South Korea, making the competition look bad

Samsung’s influence in the global mobile space is massive, with some markets showing a higher affinity for Galaxy smartphones than others. South Korea is one of the places where the Samsung brand is dominating the competition, and the company’s home country is looking a little bit like its own playground as well.

According to a Counterpoint Research report passed along by the Yonhap News Agency, Samsung’s smartphone market share in South Korea stood at a whopping 71% in the third quarter of the year, up 3% from a quarter ago and 4% year-on-year.

7 out of 10 best-selling smartphones in South Korea are Samsung’s

7 out of the 10 best-selling smartphones shipped in South Korea throughout Q3 2019 were made by Samsung. Two of the remaining models were Apple-branded, while only one of them was made by LG.

17% of the South Korean mobile market was accounted for by LG’s products. Samsung’s closest rival came in second and was followed in third place by Apple with a mere 11% market share. A few good years ago, Apple became a real threat to Samsung in its home country. That time has long passed, and the gap between the two tech giants only continued to widen.

Samsung’s success over the third quarter of the year might also indicate that smartphone enthusiasts in South Korea are already on-board with 5G and may have not had a big issue becoming early adopters. The Galaxy Note 10 series was launched in South Korea in August only in 5G flavor, and even though the recent report doesn’t mention any particular models, the latest flagship likely had a positive contribution to Samsung’s Q3 bottom line.

Galaxy Buds+ support pages go online, hint at impending launch

Samsung has already started publishing support pages for the next Galaxy Buds model. We were the first to reveal that Samsung is working on an upgraded version of the Galaxy Buds, and earlier this week, it was revealed that the new model could be called Galaxy Buds+. Now, the support pages for the earbuds on Samsung’s website suggest the official launch of the Galaxy Buds+ could be around the corner.

The appearance of a device’s support pages isn’t always a sign of its impending launch. Support pages for the Galaxy Fold 2, for example, went online last month, even though Samsung’s next foldable phone isn’t expected to be unveiled before February. However, Samsung did launch the Galaxy Watch Active 2 just six months after the first Galaxy Watch Active, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the company will do something similar for the Galaxy Buds+.

It would also make sense for Samsung to not wait until the Galaxy S11’s launch to reveal the Galaxy Buds+. Apple’s new AirPods Pro have received a lot of praise from media outlets, and while the Galaxy Buds have been critical acclaimed as well, Samsung doesn’t currently have any wireless earbuds equipped with active noise cancellation, which is one of the highlights of Apple’s latest Airpods. Unfortunately, there’s no information on whether the Buds+ will actually have active noise cancellation, nor do we know what other upgrades it will bring.

Galaxy Fold coming to Hungary soon

After years of teasing, Samsung finally announced the Galaxy fold in February this year. Unfortunately, the much-awaited device was off to a terrible start, with Samsung canceling the pre-orders in the wake of widespread durability complaints with review units. The Korean company eventually made some design tweaks and relaunched the device in select markets in September.

Since then, Samsung has been gradually expanding the availability of the Galaxy Fold to more and more markets. Next in line seems to be Hungary, as the company has created a Galaxy Fold product page on its local website. Pricing and release date are currently unknown, but the company has a pre-registration option for those who are interested.

The Galaxy Fold pricing in other markets hovers around the $2000 mark, depending on taxes, duties, and other factors. The pricing in Hungary should be no different. Despite all the negative publicity and the eye-watering price tag, the product has proven to be popular in markets where it went on sale, with stock vanishing quickly on many occasions.

It remains to be seen how long Samsung continues to expand the availability of the current Galaxy Fold considering a new model in the lineup is set to hit the market soon. It will also be interesting to see if Samsung tweaks the pricing of the original Fold as it inches closer to the launch of a new model.

Second Galaxy S9 Android 10 beta update coming next week

The Galaxy S10 series is already receiving the stable Android 10 update in many countries, but Samsung has shown no signs of hurrying the release of the Android 10 update for other flagships. It’s still running the Android 10 beta program for the Galaxy Note 10, even though the Note 10+ 5G is shipping with the latest version of Android in the US, and the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 Android 10 beta programs debuted only recently, meaning there’s some time before the stable update arrives for any one of these phones.

Before that stable update arrives, there will be a couple of beta updates that Samsung will release for these devices. The Galaxy Note 10 has received three beta updates in total while the Galaxy Note 9 has received two (in addition to a hotfix update that fixed a serious issue). The Galaxy S9, meanwhile, has not received any update after the initial beta release, but that will change next week according to Samsung’s beta operations manager, who confirmed the news in the company’s Korean community forums.

So, for those who have enrolled in the Galaxy S9 beta program, it’s going to be a long wait between the first and second beta updates, and an even longer one for the stable version of Android 10 and One UI 2.0. Samsung is currently aiming to release the stable Android 10 update for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 in most markets in January, but whether the company will be able to meet that target is anyone’s guess at this point.

Galaxy S9

  • Model: SM-G960F
  • Dimensions: 147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5mm
  • Display: 5.8” (146.5mm) Super AMOLED
  • CPU: Exynos 9810

The next Galaxy Fold might sport a less visible hinge

Samsung has applied for the ‘Hideaway Hinge’ trademark at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on Monday, triggering speculation that the next Galaxy Fold might sport a less visible hinge. As of now, nothing about this new hinge design is known, but the name is suggestive enough the guess what the Korean company is trying to accomplish.

To be clear, there is no direct evidence linking the trademark application to the upcoming Galaxy Fold. However, we have seen in the past Samsung applying for trademarks a few months before the arrival of the corresponding products and services. If that’s the case this time as well, then the next Galaxy Fold might indeed sport a much less conspicuous hinge. Moreover, the trademark application does refer to a hinge for smartphones and tablets, increasing the odds of it being related to one of the upcoming Galaxy Fold models.

According to multiple reports, Samsung is expected to release at least two Galaxy Fold models next year. One of them is possibly a vertically folding clamshell device, as teased by the company, while the other is allegedly a successor to the current Galaxy Fold. The clamshell model, which is supposed to be cheaper, is reportedly past the prototype stage and likely to be announced early next year. The other Galaxy Fold, meanwhile, is expected to be announced around August next year.

We currently don’t know which or if both of these devices will sport this Hideaway Hinge. It’s also unclear if this new hinge will do anything to hide the crease on the inside. With its recently announced Razr folding phone, Motorola appears to have already figured out a way to make the hinge on the outside and the crease on the inside less prominent. Hopefully, Samsung brings something as good or better next year with its foldable devices.

Alleged Galaxy S11 cases show crazy big cutout for rear cameras

Leaked renders have made it clear that the Galaxy S11 will have a rather huge housing on the back for the camera sensors. And that’s not surprising, as you would need plenty of space when you want to put up to five rear camera sensors on your device. The Galaxy S11 will also bring about an end to a signature Samsung design by shifting the rear camera setup to the corner, and supporting these rumors and leaks are pictures of what are allegedly cases for the Galaxy S11e, Galaxy S11, and Galaxy S11+.

As seen in the pictures, the size of the camera cutout will vary on each Galaxy S11 model, with the S11e having the smallest cutout because it’s expected to have only three rear cameras. The cutout on the Galaxy S11+, meanwhile, extends horizontally past the middle of the case. That’s because the Galaxy S11+’s five cameras are placed in an X pattern instead of being vertically positioned one after the other like the cameras on the Galaxy Note 10.

Of course, what will matter at the end of the day is not how the cameras are positioned but how they perform. And there’s plenty to get excited about on that front. The Galaxy S11 is expected to come with a 5x zoom camera and a 108MP primary rear camera, along with software features such as 8K video recording and something called Space Zoom. Only time will tell how the imaging experience on the Galaxy S11 will turn out to be, but all the rumors up to this point paint a pretty rosy picture.

Galaxy S11 could allow you to scan two fingerprints simultaneously

One of the earliest Galaxy S11 rumors had talked about how Samsung’s next flagship could have an in-display fingerprint reader with a considerably larger surface area for fingerprint detection. Today, that rumor has been confirmed by none other than Qualcomm, the company that makes the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader found on the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10.

Galaxy S11 fingerprint reader could be considerably more accurate than the Galaxy S10’s

Qualcomm has announced an upgraded version of the S10 and Note 10’s fingerprint reader called 3D Sonic Max (the one on the 2019 Galaxy flagships is called 3D Sonic Sensor), and the upgraded scanner will allow users to scan two fingerprints at the same time for added security. That’s made possible by the increased recognition area. The new sensor’s recognition area is 17 times larger, which should result in faster recognition with a single fingerprint in day-to-day use compared to what is possible with the first generation of Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. It also enables a 1 in a million accuracy rate vs an accuracy rate of 1 in 50,000 on the current sensor.

Qualcomm isn’t outright saying that the upgraded fingerprint reader will be used by Samsung for the Galaxy S11, but it seems likely. After all, Samsung is currently the only manufacturer that takes advantage of Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. Almost every other smartphone manufacturer is using optical in-display fingerprint readers for both mid-range and flagship phones, and considering the security issues Samsung has had to go through with Qualcomm’s solution, it remains to be seen if other manufacturers will shift to the ultrasonic variety anytime soon.

Galaxy Note 10+ 5G for T-Mobile comes with Android 10 out of the box!

Samsung has been developing multiple new smartphones that are expected to run Android 10 out of the box even though these smartphones are expected to launch before the Galaxy S11. This has led us to believe that Samsung is finally going to stop its long-standing tradition of not releasing any device preloaded with the latest version of Android before the newest Galaxy S flagship.

And it seems the Korean giant isn’t even waiting until those new smartphones to be unveiled before it nips that tradition in the bud. T-Mobile started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G in the US earlier this week, and according to the carrier’s official product page, its version of the Note 10+ 5G comes with Android 10 and One UI 2.0 out of the box! This was confirmed by a user who already has the phone in their possession ahead of its retail launch on Friday.

Basically, those who buy the 5G Note 10+ on T-Mobile can start enjoying the latest software right away while Note 10 and Note 10+/Note 10+ 5G owners around the world get impatient about the Android 10 update. It also means that Samsung has the stable Android 10 build for the Galaxy Note 10 series ready to go and could release it to the public right away, although we imagine it’s not as simple when you’re talking about bringing a newer version of the OS as a software update to devices that are already in use by millions of consumers.
