The Galaxy S10 is one of the best flagship phones ever released. It comes with unparalleled display quality and excellent battery life. The AMOLED dsisplay is HDR certified so it’s guaranteed to give you the best immersive experience. It’s also fast and is able to perform all your tasks without skipping a beat. The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner works like a charm as well. Besides having wireless charging support, which is common nowadays, it also offers Wireless PowerShare, allowing you to share part of your fuller battery with someone who could use some more. The sound quality is good as well as it’s tuned by AKG which is owned by high-end brand Harman/Kardon which is also part of the Samsung family. At 28% off this flagship Galaxy S10 is heavily discounted and it’s unlikely that will happen again soon.

The foldable display is not only the Galaxy Fold’s biggest strength, but it also turned out to be a major drawback due to numerous durability issues. Even a delayed launch and a minor redesign couldn’t solve these problems satisfactorily. Many of the Fold’s display issues arise from the use of a plastic layer on top instead of glass like on every other modern smartphone.
It appears Samsung may fix some of these display complaints in its next foldable smartphone, the rumored Galaxy Fold 2. According to the well-known Samsung leaker Ice Universe, the Fold 2’s display will use an ultra-thin glass cover instead of a plastic layer on top. His claims are in line with an earlier report from ETNews that said Samsung would abandon the transparent polyimide solution used in the Galaxy Fold in favor of a flexible ultra-thin glass (UTG) for its successors.
It can be confirmed that the Galaxy Fold2 leaked not long ago will use an ultra-thin glass cover for the first time in the world, replacing plastic materials. The screen looks flatter and has less wrinkles. In fact, this is the correct cover material for foldable phones. pic.twitter.com/BS73BCsA4N
While employing a glass layer will eliminate, or at least reduce, the crease on the display where it folds, it doesn’t necessarily improve its durability. In fact, industry insiders quoted in the above report say any shift to UTG will make these foldable displays even more fragile and costlier to mass-produce. Given these shortcomings, it won’t be a surprise if Samsung decides to stick with the plastic screen for the Fold 2 until alternative display technologies mature.

Samsung has quietly confirmed that a 5G variant of the Galaxy Tab S6 is on the way. The company is running a new promotion in its home country wherein it’s offering discounts and freebies on purchases of various products, and the Galaxy Tab S6 5G is listed as coming soon in the promotion’s landing page on the Samsung Korea website.
Samsung is using the same renders for both the LTE and 5G variants, so we can assume the specs will remain the same as well. Unfortunately, it’s not clear when the Galaxy Tab S6 5G will go official. Since Samsung is now listing it on its official website, the tablet could be showcased at CES 2020, which starts from January 7 and is also expected to be the venue where Samsung will show off the Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Lite for the first time.
It also remains to be seen if the Galaxy Tab S6 5G will be launched outside Korea. There has been no sign of a global variant of the device yet, so even if Samsung does plan to launch it in other markets, it probably won’t do so for a couple of months after its Korean debut.

Samsung finally introduced faster wired charging speeds to its flagship phones this year, with the Galaxy Note 10+ able to charge at a whopping 45W, and the company is now working on a power bank that supports those faster charging speeds. The FCC has certified a new wireless charging power bank (model number EB-U3300) from Samsung, and its specs confirm that it will be able to charge devices at 25W.
Thanks to the SafetyKorea website, we even have a photo of the power bank, which reveals two USB-C ports and a wireless charging pad on top. There is no standard USB-A output port, as 25W and higher charging can only be achieved via USB-C to USB-C cables. The wireless charging speeds are likely to max out at 15W like Samsung’s current wireless charging power bank, and the power bank’s capacity will also remain unchanged at 10,000 mAh.
It’s unclear when the new wireless charging power bank will go official, but a launch alongside the Galaxy S11 in February next year is likely. Samsung may even launch it before the Galaxy S11, as it does already have devices on the market that charge at 25W, such as the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ and the Galaxy A70. Upcoming devices like the Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A91 will support 25W super fast charging as well.
