Samsung is reportedly working on its own take to Google’s Night Sight photography feature

Is Samsung going to take on Google's Night Sight mode, which we see in action in this photo?

Samsung wants you to have a Bright Night, and by that we mean, the company looks to be working on its own take to Google’s Night Sight mode. XDA-Developers reports it has found code in the latest Android Pie Build for the Galaxy Note9 that shows a new night photography mode called Bright Night. According to the code, it will let you “take bright pictures even in very dark conditions.” Text in the code suggests it will work similarly to Night Sight by taking multiple shots and using software to combine these photos together. Samsung is known to release new photography features with its flagships, so XDA speculates we might see Bright Night in the upcoming Galaxy S10, which is scheduled for a release by the end of February 2019.

We might see Samsung’s foldable Galaxy X smartphone next month

It might seem like a long shot but a teaser for Samsung’s upcoming developer conference hints at the appearance of the rumoured foldable Galaxy X phone. The South Korean company is drumming up excitement for the press conference by tweeting an animation that shows two lines unfold from a single hinge to form a right facing arrow pointing at the dates of the conference (November 7, 2018). The words “Where Now Meets Next” appear next to it. We won’t be surprised if we do see, at the very least, a prototype of the phone as Samsung’s mobile chief DJ Koh has previously hinted that we would see the phone before the end of the year but it’ll be available in 2019.

Samsung might offer a Galaxy S10 model with flat display

Review: Samsung Galaxy S9Samsung might be taking its cue from Apple’s latest release and will be offering a third Galaxy S10 model that could be considered an “entry-level” phone and one featuring a flat display. Since Samsung launched the Galaxy S8, the company has done away with flat displays for its flagship models. The rumour this time is there might be one more affordable variant of the upcoming flagship. This third model will reportedly have a 5.8-inch flat display, carry a single camera sensor in the back, and won’t pack in a display-based fingerprint sensor. Meanwhile, the successors of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will carry 5.8-inch and 6.44-inch curved displays, respectively.

If Samsung were developing a more affordable version of the S10, it would make sense to out a device with a flat display to help cut costs. Now, we have to wait until next year to see if there is any truth to these rumours.

Samsung’s foldable phone might get a big curved battery

Samsung hasn’t officially acknowledged its foldable Galaxy X but rumour has it the device will be coming next year and its foldable display panels might be going into mass production this summer—if there aren’t any issues, that is. But, of course, the screen isn’t the only flexible thing in the phone, its other components should be, too. A new report shows what the batteries could look like. It’s supposedly being developed by Samsung SDI and comes in a V shape. Capacity is said to be anywhere between 3,000mAh and 6,000mAh. The expectation or hope is for it to be as high as possible, given that the rumoured device will have a screen that’ll be at 7.3 inches when opened and 4.5 inches when folded. Of course, this could all change but for now, it shows us what we could be getting. Is a foldable phone something you’d want to own?
