Posted: 27 Aug 2019 08:00 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy M30s is set to be a huge upgrade over the already quite popular Galaxy M30. The first look at the camera cutout in a case had us worried that Samsung would be dropping a camera, but that's not the case - the M30s will still have three cameras, though with a redesigned camera island. The main camera will be upgraded to 48MP sensor, up from 13MP. The wider island now houses the LED flash as well. The remaining two cameras will most likely be ultra wide and depth sensor, same as on the base M30. The Galaxy M30s will also get a better chipset - an Exynos 9610, the...

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 10:00 PM PDT

Last week Google officially announced that the next version of its mobile OS is called just Android 10, no more dessert names going forward.

Galaxy A91 will have 45W fast charging, Samsung confirms

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Samsung is already working on new Galaxy A series smartphones, and we're not talking about "s" variations, although quite a few of those have recently been made official too (and more are on the way). The 2020 A family will comprise of handsets with names ending in "1", and the highest-end of the bunch will be the Galaxy A91, unsurprisingly.

Now according to Samsung itself we get another tidbit...

Honor V30 will have 5G support

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 06:00 PM PDT

Honor's next flagship offering will bake in 5G support, according to the brand's president, Zhao Ming. He officially confirmed this, as well as the phone's name: Honor V30. That's not surprising considering that last year the company launched the Honor V20 in China, and the same phone as the Honor View 20 in other markets. So there's a big chance that we'll see the V30 outside of China marketed as the Honor View 30. Whether it will keep the 5G support remains to be seen. Also interesting will be to see how this model will be priced, since last year's V20 was the cheapest device to employ...
