Samsung is set to hold its Unpacked event next week in New York city where we are expecting to hear about the Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note10+, hopefully a 5G varirant, and a new Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 smartwatch. Just Wednesday, Samsung pulled the wraps off of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with S-Pen remote, Snapdragon 855, and 8GB of RAM.

Asus sells 10,000 ROG Phone II units in 73 seconds

Asus went all-in with the specs of the ROG Phone II, and it looks like a lot of people appreciate that - at least in China, where it's already logged more than 2.5 million reservations on JD.com, one of the main online stores over there. These aren't pre-orders, but you do need to reserve in order to be able to then buy a device in a flash sale. The first flash sale of the ROG Phone II happened today and the entire batch of 10,000 devices was gone in 73 seconds. Asus apologized to the people that weren't fast enough to snag one, and promised that its production line staff are working to... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2ywpoVC via

iPhone 11 to support the Apple Pencil, analysts say

Apple's iPhone 11 (or iPhone XI, or whatever else the company's going to call it) is apparently going to come with a rather surprising new feature. According to analysts at Citi Research, the next iPhone will have support for the Apple Pencil. Ever since the debut of the original Apple Pencil, the stylus has only worked with iPads. So this would mark a huge shift in Apple's philosophy, if it pans out. And that's a big "if". Citi analysts usually focus on the financials of any given company and don't predict its future products' features, so there's no track record here we can look back... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2KgKKvY via

Apple Q3 earnings: iPhone sales down, Apple Watch on the rise, Apple Card launches next month

On Tuesday, Apple released its Q3 earnings report with a quarterly revenue of $53.8 billion, just a 1% hike over the same quarter of 2018. This has been Apple's most successful June quarter yet, as per the company. While services revenue has reached an all-time high, a significant boost of wearables revenue also factored into this quarter's success. Although overall sales have increased in the US to $25.1 billion (up from $24.5b in Q3 2018), Apple has seen revenues drop in China ($9.2b vs. $9.6b in Q3 2018) and Europe ($11.9b vs. $12.1b in Q3 2018) as a result of increased competition.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Osl9Fy via

Samsung Galaxy A30s is coming soon with triple rear cameras

Samsung has cut a few of its lines of mid-range smartphones this year, leaving just the A and M families, but the company just can't stop launching phone after phone, which is resulting in the A series becoming more and more crowded. A Galaxy A30s is coming soon as a slightly improved version of the A30 that has only been on the market since March. Unlike that model, which has a dual rear camera system, with a 16 MP primary sensor and a 5 MP ultra-wide snapper, the A30s is said to employ triple rear cameras.

Samsung Galaxy M20s is reportedly on the way with a 5,830 mAh battery

Samsung seems to be on a quest to endlessly diversify its mid-range Galaxy A and Galaxy M series of smartphones, adding derivative models left and right. The next one in this regard might be the M20, which is reportedly soon getting an M20s sibling. The Galaxy M20s is rumored to come with a huge 5,830 mAh battery, which dwarfs even the M20's already impressive 5,000 mAh cell.

Our Honor 20 Pro video review is up

Honor's latest self-numbered lineup is a duo this year. The Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro build on the success and design of the Honor View 20 from earlier this year. The Honor 20 and 20 Pro are slightly different. Both phones have what it takes to compete with a flagship device: a large display, huge battery, flagship chipset (Kirin 980), and a four-camera system with versatile uses. However, the display is where Honor cut costs by using IPS LCD instead of OLED panels. The hole-punch 32MP selfie camera also eliminates the need for a pop-up mechanism or notch.

Normal photo • telephoto sample Unfortunately, he didn't go into details in its Weibo post so we don't know how many times the zoom the nubia Z20 is capable of. Some suggest that this is a 20x hybrid zoom since the number 20 is a theme here.
