Galaxy S11 fingerprint sensor might be more convenient to use

A report from the Korean media that seems to have flown under the radar has indicated that the Galaxy S11’s in-display fingerprint sensor would be more convenient to use thanks to a larger sensing area for detecting fingerprints. According to The Elec, the ‘Active Area Dimension’ (AAD) for the in-display fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S11 will measure 64 square millimeters while the Galaxy S10’s (and the Note 10’s) measures 36 square millimeters. It’s unclear just how accurate those numbers are, but the increase in sensing area would certainly be a welcome improvement.

Right now, fingerprint technology on smartphones isn’t perfect. In their pursuit for smartphones with minimal bezels around the display, manufacturers opted for rear-facing physical fingerprint readers, and the one point of contention there was the fact that you had to pick a device up in order to scan their fingerprint. In-display fingerprint sensors solved that dilemma, but without any physical boundaries to guide the user, in-display sensors also have a learning curve and require far more precision from the user compared to physical fingerprint readers.

And while you can’t add physical boundaries to in-display sensors, having a larger sensing area is the next best thing, which means the fingerprint sensor could be one of the Galaxy S11’s biggest highlights. Of course, nothing is official at the moment. The Galaxy S11 is at least six months away at this time, and even if the reports are correct, a lot could change as development on the device proceeds further. That includes aspects such as storage options, which could spoil consumers for choice as we had exclusively reported last month.

What do you think? Would an in-display fingerprint sensor that’s more convenient to use make you consider the Galaxy S11, or is it something you don’t think is consequential enough to be a deciding factor? Would something like Apple’s Face ID be more enticing in your eyes, or would you like to see the iris sensor make a return? Let us know in the comments!

Galaxy A70s user manual reveals nothing of importance

The Galaxy A70s is getting ever closer to an official launch, as the user manual for the upcoming device has now been published online on Samsung’s website. Samsung has lumped the A70s with the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 in a single manual, which is perhaps a good decision as the three devices look exactly the same and offer mostly the same software features as well. Oddly, the Galaxy A50s gets a separate user manual despite being quite similar to the Galaxy A50, so there’s probably no rhyme or reason at work here.

And, as you would expect, the Galaxy A70s user manual reveals nothing about the hardware upgrades we can expect it to bring over the Galaxy A70. Going by the differences between the Galaxy A50 and A50s, the A70s is unlikely to have anything but higher-resolution cameras to show for it, and reports have suggested a 64-megapixel rear camera will be the primary highlight. The design will also be upgraded to include a new ‘3D Prism’ effect like the Galaxy A50s, as revealed by A70s images spotted earlier this week, but the screen size and underlying specs should remain unchanged.

Four AKG wireless headphones launch in India for your Galaxy Note 10

Are you a Galaxy Note 10 owner residing in India? Are you looking for a pair of wireless headphones other than the Galaxy Buds to go along with your flagship phone? Do you want a third-party (or second-party) solution that still guarantees full compatibility with Samsung’s device? If the answer is “yes, on all accounts” then you might be in for a treat, as Samsung just announced the launch of four AKG-branded wireless headphones through its E-Store and partner retailers.

Samsung is going to release the AKG Y100, AKG N200, AKG Y500, and AKG N700NC M2 “shortly” and prospective buyers will be able to buy either model online through Samsung’s India portal or via partner retailers.

AKG Y100

The AKG Y100 boast a neck-band wireless design and feature Ambient Aware technology, allowing users to hear their surroundings without having to remove the buds from their ears.

The product offers 8 hours of music playback thanks to a 120mAh battery which can be fully recharged in two hours. The AKG Y100 is available in black, blue, green, pink, and will launch for Rs. 6,699 ($94).

AKG Y500

The AKG Y500 headphones take advantage of Ambient Aware technology, just like the Y100, but adopt an over-ear design which allows for a much larger 900mAh battery with a full recharge time of 2.5 hours.

The unit can last for up to 33 hours on a single charge. The headphones weigh 230g and will launch in black, blue, green, and pink, for the price of Rs. 9,999 ($141).

AKG N200

The AKG N200 earbuds are similar to the Y100 in that they feature a neck-band design. With a similarly-sized 110mAh battery, the N200 flaunt the same autonomy and recharge times.

They also promise higher audio quality thanks to a semi-closed back, and come with a pair of XS eartips in the box for a total of four sets instead of three. The AKG N200 come in black, blue, and green, for the price of Rs. 9,999 ($141).

AKG N700NC

Last but certainly not least, the AKG N700NC are the only headphones on this list to feature active noise cancellation. They rely on an 800mAh battery which promises up to 23 hours of usage.

They weigh 277g and are available only in black. They’re also the more expensive solution of the bunch, costing Rs. 26,999 ($380).

The Galaxy Buds are excellent and they, too, have been tuned by AKG. But if you don’t find them appealing for whatever reasons, you might be able to find your perfect solution among the four AKG wireless headphones listed above.

Do you generally prefer an earbud or an over-ear design for mobile headphones? Would you pick either one of these AKG products over the Galaxy Buds? What has been your experience so far with the wired AKG USB-C earbuds included in the Galaxy Note 10 retail box? Let us know in the comment section.

SamMobile Daily Recap, September 24, 2019: Galaxy Fold, new ISOCELL camera sensor, and more

Galaxy S10 now has Night mode for selfies and telephoto camera

A major new software update for the Galaxy S10 series started rolling out yesterday in some parts of Europe, and it expands the camera’s Night mode to the telephoto rear camera and the front-facing camera. Samsung’s implementation of Night mode has been quite impressive and well received, but it was limited to the primary and ultra-wide rear cameras on the Galaxy S10 lineup and last year’s flagships. The Note 10/10+ introduced Night mode for both selfies and 2x zoom photos, and the Galaxy S10e, S10, S10+ now have the functionality as well.

As we had noted in our Galaxy Note 10+ review, Samsung continues to use the primary camera for 2x zoom photos in very dark conditions even in Night mode, but where it does stick to the telephoto sensor, the results are quite pleasing compared to the photos you would get in the automatic Photo mode. On the Galaxy S10 lineup, Night mode for the telephoto camera is even more useful given the smaller aperture of the sensor – the S10e, S10, and S10+ have an F2.4 telephoto camera while the Note 10 and Note 10+ have an F2.1 sensor.

Night mode for the front camera is less of a necessity on the Galaxy S10 lineup, as it sports a wider aperture for the front-facing camera (F1.9) compared to the Galaxy Note 10 duo (which have F2.2 front cameras). That doesn’t mean it won’t come in handy, and if you’re wondering how much of a difference Night mode can make for selfies, you can check out the comparison between a regular and a Night mode selfie below (swipe left for the Night mode photo). A sample of a Night mode photo with the telephoto camera is included just below the selfie shot.

Indian customers may not have to wait long for the Galaxy Fold

Samsung could launch the Galaxy Fold in India on October 1, according to a report from one of the country’s leading news agencies. Earlier this year, Samsung’s mobile chief DJ Koh had revealed that the Galaxy Fold would be coming to India at some point but had not mentioned any time frame. The Fold launched in South Korea in early September and came to some European markets on September 18, and it seems Indian customers looking forward to the foldable phone won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on one.

An October 1 launch would put India in the first wave of countries where the Galaxy Fold will go on sale. After disaster struck and Samsung recalled all Galaxy Fold units before they could hit retail shelves, we had heard from our sources that the company had changed its plans a bit and decided not to bring the device to some small markets. However, its imminent arrival in India was pretty much confirmed when the redesigned Fold was spotted in the country on two different occasions, although Samsung is yet to say anything on the matter officially.

Galaxy Fold price in India could go as high as Rs. 1.75 lakh (~$2470)

As for pricing, the report says the Fold could be priced anywhere between Rs. 1.5 lakh (~$2120) and 1.75 lakh (~$2470). If true, the Indian pricing would be considerably higher than in other markets. It’s possible Samsung won’t be manufacturing the Fold locally in India as it does its non-foldable flagships, which could be one of the reasons why its pricing would be higher in the country. Whether that will deter most prospective customers from picking one up remains to be seen.

Would you be interested in buying the Galaxy Fold in India? What’s the price you’re willing to pay for the device?
