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?

Lenovo Z5 and its rumoured outrageous specs will make June 5th debut

There is a lot going on with the Lenovo Z5 (or ZUK Z5) that we’re not sure if the degree of its outrageousness might warrant some truth to it. Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng announced on Weibo that the phone is debuting on June 5^th, showing the official poster for the event. Cheng has been dropping hints about this device in the past few weeks. And one of the biggest things is that almost 95 percent screen-to-body ratio, which we see in the sketch above. The only other company who has gotten this close to this ratio is the Vivo Apex. A couple of the other hints he’s dropped include 4TB internal storage and up to 45 days of standby time. Now, whether these all ring true is something we’re going to find out in a few days.

Leaked Nokia 8 Pro specs show off a promising 2018-ready flagship

If there’s one thing about the Nokia 8 Sirocco that can seem lacking, it’s that it’s running on a Snapdragon 835 processor, which is a generation behind from what current flagships are supposed to be rocking. But it seems Nokia phone manufacturer HMD Global has something else up its sleeve this year with a Pro version of this device. A specs list for a Nokia 8 Pro device was posted on HowToTechNajia a few days ago. It packs in the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, a 6-inch display with a 2,160 x 1,080 resolution, 6GB/8GB of RAM, 64GB/128GB of internal storage, dual 16-megapixel rear camera, 13-megapixel front camera, 4,000mAh battery with wireless charging, Android Oreo, and USB-C port. It’s better in every way over the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The phone will reportedly come out in the third quarter of the year. It must be remembered that at the moment this is still just a rumoured device and we don’t know yet if it’ll be an actual release. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for this one.
