Samsung Galaxy S11+ may come with a custom 108MP sensor

Posted: 09 Dec 2019 07:50 AM PST

So far, only a couple of smartphones with Samsung's new 108MP ISOCELL Bright HMX have come out and all of them from Xiaomi. And it's no secret anymore that Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S11-lineup will most likely come equipped with the said sensor, but this is not entirely true, as it turns out. The Galaxy S11+ uses a 1 / 1.3-inch 108MP Samsung exclusive custom sensor, which is superior in quality to ISOCELL Bright HMX and has a high cost.— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) December 8, 2019 According to a reputable Samsung leakster on Twitter, the Galaxy S11+ will come with an exclusive, custom...

OnePlus TV gets Netflix app and a redesigned remote

Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:50 AM PST

OnePlus has good news for prospective buyers of its new television. The first one is that the TV now finally comes with the Netflix app pre-installed. This was one of our complaints when we reviewed the television back in October and we are glad to see it being resolved. However, the lack of Netflix was nothing compared to the atrocity that was the remote control design. But in a completely unexpected move, OnePlus has decided to redesign the remote from scratch and offer it as replacement to current owners. The previous remote had multiple issues with it; the body was too small...

Prices of Galaxy S10 lite, Note10 lite, Galaxy A71 and A51 appear on online retailer

Posted: 09 Dec 2019 04:25 AM PST

The Samsung Galaxy A (2020) phones will be unveiled this Thursday, but a Slovakian retailer couldn't wait this long and put up pages for the Galaxy A51 through A91. The pages were clearly placeholders, though someone forgot to hide the prices. The Samsung Galaxy A91 is rumored to sell under the name "Galaxy S10 lite" in some markets. It will be the priciest of the bunch, at €670 it's practically in flagship territory (then the S-series branding makes sense). The Galaxy A81 - aka Galaxy Note10 lite - will cost a tad more at €610. It's not exactly cheap, but it will be the most affordable...
