Galaxy Z Flip makes its way through the FCC

The wheels are in motion. In less than three weeks, Samsung will be unveiling its newest Galaxy S flagship and its second foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip. In the lead up to the Unpacked event, these new devices will be picking up certifications that are necessary before Samsung can start selling them. This week, the Galaxy Z Flip has received blessings from the US’ FCC.

While the FCC certification is coming quite close to the announcement, Samsung had put up support pages for its new foldable phone on its website nearly two months ago. Neither those support pages nor the FCC certification reveal anything about the device, but we have already seen how the Galaxy Z Flip will look like in the flesh. Many of its specs have recently been revealed as well, including what could be its most attractive feature: the ability to snap open at an angle.

Unfortunately, the rumors can’t seem to agree on what the Galaxy Z Flip’s price will be. From as low as $850 to as high as $1400, we’ve heard it all, and at this point we’re just going to wait for Samsung’s official announcement instead of putting too much stock on all the rumors that keep making their way online.

Galaxy Z Flip display to have a crease, no embedded fingerprint sensor

We now have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphone. Countless reports have provided a steady stream of information about the Galaxy Z Flip, which is what Samsung is now expected to call its first clamshell foldable phone.

While the display material is going to be different than that of the Galaxy Fold, it won’t be crease-less. That’s not something which is going to bother most users, though, as it’s not that hard to get used to it.

Galaxy Z Flip will use the more durable ultra-thin glass, though

Word from Twitter-based tipsters is that the Galaxy Z Flip is going to have a capacitive fingerprint sensor. What that means is that there’s going to be an actual physical sensor on the side of the device, much like the one present on the Galaxy Fold. It seems that the foldable display technology isn’t advanced enough yet to support an in-display sensor.

Samsung will be using its ultra-thin glass to secure the 6.7-inch flexible Dynamic AMOLED display. We previously reported that the Galaxy Z Flip might have the unique ability to let users open and fix its screen at any angle. That’s really going to be something that sets it apart from competitors like the new Motorola Razr.

The handset is also said to feature dual 12-megapixel wide and ultra-wide cameras, an earlier report had also highlighted the possibility that the Galaxy Z Flip may not get the 108-megapixel camera that we’ll see on the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The new foldable phone’s additional features include 15W fast wired charging, wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare.

As we’ve seen in leaked images of the Galaxy Z Flip, its tiny external display will be good for checking information like notifications, battery status and more. It’s also claimed that it will be possible to use this display as a viewfinder so that the rear camera can be used for selfies. This is something we’ve been hoping Samsung does for the original Galaxy Fold too.

Samsung won’t be saying anything about the Galaxy Z Flip officially until February 11 when it unveils the device on stage at the Unpacked event. That’s finally when we’ll get to know when it plans on actually releasing the Galaxy Z Flip.

Galaxy S20 series dummy units get featured in hands-on video

As we’ve mentioned before, third-party cases for the Samsung Galaxy S20 series are already being developed, which means that case manufacturers should have relatively-accurate dummy units at their disposal. Such dummy units for the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra have now been featured in a hands-on video by Mobile Fun. The video presents a more accurate size comparison between the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S10 lineups and offers a few tidbits of information regarding the design.

Large camera bumps for large flagship phones

In case you’re still doubting that the Galaxy S20 lineup will adopt a large, rectangular camera hump for every model, then you should probably make peace with this. The dummy units at hand further confirm this design feature, although interestingly, they don’t seem to give us the full story on the camera configuration.

Case manufacturers have to know how big of a camera cutout they need to design for their cases, but they don’t necessarily require any information regarding the cameras themselves. The Galaxy S20 Ultra, for example, will have a square-shaped telephoto sensor on the back along with three other cameras, according to leaked renders that have surfaced only moments ago. In contrast, the S20 Ultra dummy unit features a more conventional camera array with circular lenses.

As for the cameras themselves, previous reports suggest that the Galaxy S20 features two 12MP shooters along with a 64MP telephoto lens, while the Galaxy S20+ should have the same configuration as well as a ToF sensor. The Galaxy S20 Ultra will supposedly offer the most outlandish camera setup, comprising a 108MP main sensor, a 48MP telephoto shooter which should enable 10x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, and a ToF sensor.

Other design details and features reconfirmed

By now, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Galaxy S20 lineup won’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack. It was removed with the Galaxy Note 10 series, and we’ve expected Samsung to maintain this route for the Galaxy S lineup as well. Likewise, the models in the upcoming flagship series have relocated the physical buttons to the right edge, and they only consist of a volume button and a side key. The dedicated Bixby button present on the Galaxy S10 series has been abandoned.

The Galaxy S20 models appear to have a fairly thin loudspeaker, but it doesn’t look like Samsung went the Galaxy Note 10 route this time. The speaker grille is not as thin as it was on the S Pen flagships, and although the dummy units have a small hole at the top, it likely accommodates a microphone rather than acting as an alternative route for sound waves.

Check out the video below for a closer look at these Galaxy S20 dummy units, but keep in mind that, even though the dimensions and some of the prominent design features should be accurate, the final products will look slightly different and they’ll be of a much higher quality.

Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ prices leak alongside new renders

A lot of people are interested in finding out the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ prices as they look to make up their minds about purchasing Samsung’s upcoming flagship series. Seemingly official press renders of the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ have both been leaked online today.

The renders are accompanied by what are claimed to be the prices for both of these handsets. The renders and prices for the Galaxy S20 Ultra have already leaked. There’s no question in the fact that it will be one of Samsung’s most expensive smartphones to date.

Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ prices revealed in new leak

The Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ won’t exactly be cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but they will be relatively more affordable. Prices for the Galaxy S20 are said to start from 899 (~$990) and 999 euro (~$1,100) for the 4G and 5G variants respectively. The 5G variant of the Galaxy S20+ will cost 1099 euro (~$1,213). Available color options include Cosmic Grey, Cloud Blue and Cloud Pink for the Galaxy S20 and Cosmic Grey, Cosmic Black and Cloud Blue for the Galaxy S20+.

There are a few differences between both the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ which justify the pricing gap. For starters, the former has a 6.2-inch Infinity-O display while the latter gets a larger 6.7-inch display. Both have the same Exynos 990 processor, though, with at least 12GB of RAM. Both will also feature the same 12-megapixel primary camera with a 64-megapixel telephoto and 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The Galaxy S20+ gets a time-of-flight sensor as well. The Galaxy S20 will have a 4,000mAh battery while the Galaxy S20+ gets a 4,500mAh battery.

Samsung is evidently going to spoil customers for choice. This is perhaps one of the most feature-packed flagship lineups that we have seen from the company and it has something for everyone at different price points. It will be really interesting to see which model of the three – Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra – ends up selling the most units.

The Galaxy S20 series will be unveiled on February 11 at Samsung’s Unpacked event in San Francisco. We’ll be on the ground to bring you all of the latest developments from the event.

Breaking: Leaked Galaxy S20 Ultra press renders reveal 100x Space Zoom

We’re less than a month away from Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event where the company is going to unveil the Galaxy S20 series. So it’s about time that press renders of the device started leaking. That’s precisely what has happened today for the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the top-of-the-line model in Samsung’s upcoming flagship lineup.

There’s nothing here that’s going to catch you by surprise as far as the design is concerned. What the renders do reveal is that the expected 100x digital zoom functionality is going to be branded as “Space Zoom.”

Galaxy S20 Ultra price has also been revealed

Given what we know about the Galaxy S20 series so far, Samsung is pulling out all the stops in the camera department, particularly for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. It’s going to be the only model in Samsung’s lineup to feature the 108-megapixel primary sensor. It also features a 48-megapixel telephoto, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide and a ToF sensor.

The camera setup is capable of 10X optical zoom and 100X digital zoom, which the readers reveal is going to be called Space Zoom. It’s not surprising as we had seen the company trademark Space Zoom about three months ago. The Galaxy S20 Ultra will be able to offer 10x optical and 100x digital zoom courtesy of the prism-tech that’s being used in the camera module. That sensor is positioned separately at the bottom of the module.

Other than that, the design of the Galaxy S20 Ultra isn’t all that different from the unofficial renders seen previously. It’s going to feature a 6.9-inch Infinity-O display with a centered cutout for the front camera, which some reports suggest is going to come in at 40-megapixels.

Today’s leak also claims that the Galaxy S20 Ultra price is going to start at 1,349 euro which is approximately $1,500 for the 128GB base variant and 1549 euro with 512GB storage, and that’s over $1,700. This makes it the most expensive Galaxy S flagship we have ever seen from Samsung.

Excited about the Galaxy S20 Ultra? We are too! February 11 is just around the corner and we’ll be there in San Francisco to bring you all of the updates from Samsung’s Unpacked event.

Samsung Pay’s new privacy policy reveals your data may have been sold

Earlier this year, Samsung was forced by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to rethink its privacy policies and, as a result, a new toggle was added in Samsung Pay, as discovered by XDA-Developers. The toggle gives users the option of disabling the selling of personal data to Samsung Pay partners. It’s a most welcomed addition, but at the same time, it’s a worrying turn of events because it reveals that Samsung may have already sold your personal data before the CCPA came into effect.

Not only that but the company’s Customization Service, to which most Galaxy device owners have agreed, seems to contain similar, troubling caveats as the Samsung Pay policy.

What personal information may have been sold by Samsung?

According to Samsung’s updated Privacy Policy for Samsung Pay, the company may have sold the following categories of personal information over the 12-month period prior to the effective date of the CCPA. The categories Samsung refers to include cookies, beacons, mobile ad identifiers, pixel tags, internet protocol addresses and more.

Other categories include commercial information, Internet browsing history, search history, information regarding your interaction with websites and a whole lot more. You can hit this link and check Samsung’s official Privacy Policy for Samsung Pay for additional details.

The page also includes information on the disclosure of personal information for business purposes. Samsung doesn’t outright claim that it sold this kind of data, only that it may have disclosed it to vendors. The list includes identifiers ranging from real names to bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and other financial information, or audio, electronic, visual and similar information, whatever that may imply.

Samsung’s Customization Service may be doing similar things with your data

The aforementioned toggle in Samsung Pay was added after the CCPA was implemented, and it’s unclear whether the policy changes are valid for all Samsung Pay users around the world, or only for USA/California residents. Nevertheless, even if you live outside of the United States, Samsung may still share your personal data with third parties even if you don’t use the mobile payment platform.

Samsung’s Customization Service – to which most Galaxy users agree upon setting up a Samsung account – is designed to collect information about your use of Samsung’s services – and third-party websites and apps – across your devices in order to deliver customized services tailored to your interest.

The Customization Service policy sounds more benign than the updated privacy policy for Samsung Pay – especially for Android smartphone users who should be used to the idea that Google is collecting their information for its own ad-delivery purposes. However, unlike Google’s policy for Android, Samsung’s policy still claims that it shares information about your online activities.

It also states that where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent for the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes. This may suggest that, in some countries with fewer/weaker privacy laws, Samsung may be processing your personal information without your consent.

You can opt out of Samsung’s Customization Service

Fortunately, if you’re not a fan of the idea that Samsung may be collecting your data, you can choose to disable Customization Services on your Samsung account, and there’s also a way to request the deletion of existing information that’s been previously collected and analyzed.

As mentioned above, Android smartphone users are generally aware that Google collects personal information for its own ad-delivery purposes. However, Samsung’s policies seem a bit more open for interpretation, as they reveal that personal data can and may have been shared with third parties. For some users, this might make a world of difference, while for others it may not mean much.

Samsung Quick Share is a new AirDrop-like feature for Galaxy devices

Samsung tends to introduce new software services with its flagship smartphones and it appears that the company has one up its sleeve for the Galaxy S20. A new report has detailed Samsung Quick Share, a local file-sharing service for Galaxy smartphones and tablets that not unlike Apple’s AirDrop.

The underlying mechanics are most likely the same, in that Quick Share will use Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network between connected devices. The connection would likely be firewalled for security and the files would be encrypted. Other existing solutions use Bluetooth only or a combination of Bluetooth and NFC, but Wi-Fi certainly takes the cake when it comes to both range and speed.

Samsung Quick Share offers more functionality compared to AirDrop

The folks at XDA Developers obtained an APK of Quick Share from someone with access to a Galaxy S20+. They were able to install the app on a Galaxy Note 10+ as well. The app did run but file transfer wasn’t possible as the APK is understandably not meant for any other device in its current form.

Quick Share will work in the same way as other local sharing services. If someone with a supported device is nearby, their device will show up as available and you will be able to send them a file, photo or video, and vice versa. If you don’t want random people sending you Quick Share requests, Samsung has built a feature that will only let through requests from Samsung Social users who are in your contacts.

The feature will also offer additional functionality compared to AirDrop. It will be possible to temporarily upload files to Samsung Cloud from your smartphone or tablet in order to stream them on devices like smart TVs. This feature makes perfect sense as Samsung is one of the largest TV vendors on the market and it can leverage that scale to make it easier for mobile device owners to share their content on Samsung TVs.

It’s quite likely that Samsung is going to launch Quick Share with the Galaxy S20 series next month. The company may eventually expand it to other devices as well, possibly with the One UI 2.1 update. What do you think about Quick Share? Does it sound like a service that you see yourself using often?

Samsung misses the podium in Global Data’s 5G RAN evaluation

Market research firm Global Data has placed Samsung Electronics on 4th place in its recent 5G radio access network (RAN) evaluation. According to Business Korea citing Global Data, Samsung got a score of 3 out of 5 in the Installation Ease and Technology Evolution categories, and a 4 out of 5 in both Baseband Unit Capacity and Radio Unit Portfolio.

Samsung scored a total of 14 out of 20 points in Global Data’s 5G RAN evaluation, and placed 4th. The company was outperformed by Huawei, who got first place with maximum points in all four categories. The second and third places went to Nokia and Ericsson who’ve scored 16 and 15 points, respectively. ZTE scored the same amount of points as Samsung did but fell on the 5th place. As a result, Huawei got a ‘Leader’ designation while the other companies have received a ‘Very Strong’ grade.

Last month we’ve discussed how 2020 might be a decisive year for Samsung’s 5G network business, and how Huawei remains a threat in many emerging markets despite the US-China trade war. Nevertheless, Samsung is strengthening its position in key markets including the USA, where the company has recently acquired TeleWorld Solutions to deliver end-to-end support solutions as demand increases. Samsung also entered the Canadian 5G market in a partnership with Videotron late last year

Exclusive: Samsung already working on a Galaxy A21s

Last year, Samsung launched an insane number of smartphones in the Galaxy A series. As trademark filings had revealed, the company is preparing to launch 2020 variants of those A series phones in the coming months. Two of them, the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71, are already official and on sale, and many others are in development. Today, we have learned about the existence of yet another 2020 Galaxy A smartphone.

Samsung is currently working on a device with model number SM-A217F, which is likely to be the Galaxy A21s. Oddly enough, we see no signs of a global variant of the regular Galaxy A21 yet. It’s only in development for the United States, so there’s a chance Samsung will launch the A21s in some markets and the A21 in others. The company also launched a Galaxy A20e (SM-A202F) last year, but whether a Galaxy A21e is on the cards is unclear.

Only color and storage options are known at this time

Coming back to the SM-A217F, we know it will come with 32GB and 64GB storage and its color options will include blue, black, white, and red. For the rest, we can only speculate. The Galaxy A21s will probably have better cameras than the Galaxy A20s, but whether a macro camera will be part of the package remains to be seen. The Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 both have a 5MP macro camera and the A41 is supposed to have one as well, and since Samsung focused on bringing ultra-wide cameras to all price segments last year, it’s possible the company will do that with macro cameras in 2020.

Certification confirms Galaxy Z Flip name for Samsung’s upcoming foldable

For the longest time, everyone referred to Samsung’s second foldable phone as the Galaxy Fold 2. It’s been known for some time that it wouldn’t actually be a sequel to the Fold but a less pricey device with a different form factor, yet the Galaxy Fold 2 moniker stuck as there was no other alternative. That was until a recent rumor claimed that the new foldable would be called Galaxy Z Flip, and today, that name has been confirmed by a certification for the device in Indonesia.

Galaxy Z Flip is quite the hip name for a Galaxy smartphone, but we guess it goes well with the type of customer Samsung is targeting – women in their 20s – and, of course, that flip phone design. The Galaxy Z Flip’s folding screen will also have a trick up its sleeve that the Galaxy Fold doesn’t: It will be able to open at any angle and stay there, instead of only unfolding and folding all the way. Its specs, however, will be less impressive, though some of them will be similar to Samsung’s first foldable, like the Snapdragon 855 processor.

The Galaxy Z Flip is rumored to cost around $1,400/€1,400 and will be made official at Samsung’s Unpacked event on February 11. The Galaxy S20 will also be unveiled at the same event, and possibly the Galaxy Buds+ earbuds as well. Samsung also has a new smartwatch in development, but the chances of that watch making an appearance on February 11 are slim to none.

Galaxy S10 Lite price in India set at Rs 39,999

Samsung has launched only the 8GB+128GB configuration of the Galaxy S10 Lite in India. It is priced at Rs 39,999, and those who pre-book the device will get a one-time screen replacement at a reduced price of Rs 1,999 in the first year of ownership.

Samsung is now beta testing Portuguese support for Bixby

It’s been almost three years since Samsung introduced Bixby. Samsung joined the game pretty late, so Bixby Voice naturally doesn’t have the robust language support that we see with competing virtual assistants like Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and Amazon’s Alexa. Right now, Bixby can speak and understand US and UK English, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Italian and Spanish, and soon, Portuguese will be added to the list as well.

Samsung has started beta tests for adding Portuguese support to Bixby Voice this week in Brazil. Those who are using any of the Galaxy S10 smartphones can take part in the beta. Samsung isn’t saying if any other smartphones, like older flagships or the Galaxy Note 10, will be included, although it’s possible the beta test will expand to those devices somewhere down the line.

Adding new languages to voice assistants is a time consuming affair, and Samsung would benefit from including more of its user base so that it doesn’t take too long to finish completing work on Portuguese support. Not preloading Bixby on budget and mid-range phones for the first year or two was partly the reason why Bixby has been so slow to catch up to the competition, and Samsung would do well not to repeat that mistake when it comes to adding new languages to its virtual assistant.

Samsung Galaxy A11 to get triple camera, 4,000 mAh battery

As we progress further into 2020, details about the many Galaxy A series phones Samsung will be launching this year are beginning to show up online. Recently, we heard about the camera and battery specs for the Galaxy A31 and Galaxy A41. Today, similar information has been revealed about the Galaxy A11, which is likely to be the most affordable of this year’s A series, by the FCC.

The FCC certification for the Galaxy A11 (model number SM-A115F) explicitly mentions the battery capacity of the phone. The A11 has a 4,000 mAh battery, the same as the Galaxy A10, although it still could offer better endurance. That’s because the A11 will be powered by the Snapdragon 625/626 chipset, which is more efficient than the A10’s Exynos 7884 as it doesn’t have any high-performance cores.

Galaxy A11 will offer a big camera upgrade over the Galaxy A10

While the battery capacity may not be changing, the FCC documents reveal that the Galaxy A11 will have a triple rear camera setup. The Galaxy A10 has a single rear camera, so that’s a pretty big upgrade. However, it remains to be seen what the camera specs will be. It’s possible one of the cameras will be a 2-megapixel macro sensor similar to the Galaxy A41, though it could also just be a 2MP depth sensor like the one on the Galaxy A01.

The Galaxy A11 will also have a rear-facing fingerprint sensor, as seen in the FCC documents. Some of the other specs, which were revealed in previous leaks and rumors, include 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and Android 10 with One UI 2.0 out of the box. The Galaxy A11 will be available in white, red, blue, and black; it’s not known when Samsung will announce the device, but it could do that in March, a year after the Galaxy A10 was unveiled.
