Samsung might soon be pushing One UI 2.5 onto the Galaxy S20 series

Samsung might be treating the Galaxy S20 series a bit differently in terms of One UI updates compared to last year. As many of you recall, the Galaxy S10 lineup was released running One UI 1.1 out of the box, but was never updated to One UI 1.5. Instead, the series got a few Galaxy Note 10 features lifted from One UI 1.5, and it then made the jump directly to One UI 2.0. With that in mind, it’s easy...

Galaxy Note 20 Gorilla Glass screen could be twice as scratch resistant

Glass manufacturing company Corning is ready to launch a new generation of Gorilla Glass, and the Galaxy Note 20 series – or at least the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra –  is expected to be the world’s first smartphone to adopt this new solution. So what can we expect from Gorilla Glass 7? To begin with, the next-gen screen protection is seemingly set to be sold under a different name. The sequel to Gorilla...

The Galaxy Note 20 has turned out to be its own ‘Lite’ variant

Samsung came out with the “Lite” variants of the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 last year. The company watered down its high-end devices to provide a premium experience to customers who didn’t want to pay flagship-level prices. We already know that the company is planning such a variant for the Galaxy S20 which may be launched as the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition. Why have we heard nothing about a Galaxy Note 20 Lite or Fan Edition? That’s because the Galaxy...

The Galaxy Note 20 series will be priced almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Note 10 lineup when it debuted last year, according to a recent rumor by Yonhap citing industry sources.

The source doesn’t specify...

A step backwards: Regular Galaxy Tab S7 rumored to feature LCD display

The closer we’re getting to August 5th, the less appealing does Samsung’s next generation of premium Android tablets sound. Even that “premium” label may best be provisionally reserved for the 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S7+, as its regular 11-inch counterpart is shaping up to be a rather stripped-down alternative to the more expensive model. A newly surfaced rumor illustrates how barebones of an experience we’re actually talking about here, suggesting...

Dramatic-sounding code name hints at Samsung’s first QLED Chromebook

Samsung is working on bringing QLED displays to Chromebooks in at least some of their glory, as indicated by a newly spotted device code name that sounds way more dramatic than a laptop nickname has any business being. Dubbed ‘Nightfury’, the moniker is said to belong to Samsung’s seminal QLED Chromebook, with its original reference surfacing in one Chrome OS commit dug up earlier this week. As for its inspirations, your guess is as good as anyone’s,...

Samsung likely to supply yet another iPhone 12 component

The iPhone 12 is on its way to becoming the closest thing to a Samsung device that Apple ever shipped after new analyst insight suggested the two companies are likely to reach a deal over yet another key supply contract. Quite a historic one, at that, seeing how its direct result should be the first-ever iPhone generation whose mobile photography setup incorporates Samsung lenses. Apple will reportedly soon start testing 6P lenses from Samsung which...

A member of the XDA Developers community spotted Android 11 mentioned as the latest OS version for the Galaxy S20 Ultra on Samsung’s official firmware version tracker, suggesting that early development has kicked off.

Galaxy S20 Fan Edition battery capacity, colors leak

Samsung launched three Galaxy S20 series smartphones earlier this year, but it has one more Galaxy S20 device in the works. Last month, we had exclusively reported the existence of the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, and mentioned that it is the spiritual successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite. We had also revealed the colors it will be launched in. Now, the phone’s battery capacity and additional colors have been revealed. According to a report from GalaxyClub.nl,...
