  • Samsung’s next TWS earphones will be called Galaxy Buds Pro

    This name was confirmed by the Indonesian Telecom Certification authority, right alongside the model number SM-R190. The new earbuds have also been certified by China’s 3C with a 472 mAh battery in the case, as well as the Korean NRRA.

    All of these certifications mean that this product is almost ready to launch, and of course that fits well with the rumored mid-January S21 unveiling event. Based on the name, we wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Galaxy Buds Pro come with active noise cancellation, which has quickly become all the rage in the TWS market space.

    Interestingly enough, so far the rumors have mentioned the Galaxy Buds Beyond as arriving alongside the S21 family, so perhaps “Beyond” was just a codename – or a marketing name that got changed at the last minute. Or Samsung could also be readying a different TWS product called Galaxy Buds Beyond. It’s all a bit confusing at the moment.

  • Galaxy Z Flip Lite could put foldables within reach for more customers

    Foldable display technology is here to stay and you can be certain that Samsung will launch more Galaxy Z Flip / Z Fold models next year. How many exactly, we do not know yet, but a new rumor suggests that Samsung is developing a new foldable model which will greatly contribute to democratizing foldable display technology. It will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Flip Lite and it might be manufactured in larger quantities compared to the previous models.

    The source also mentions that the so-called Galaxy Z Flip Lite might be taking advantage of UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) technology but that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that UTG was introduced with the original Galaxy Z Flip and it’s being adopted by newer foldable models. In other words, Samsung is highly unlikely to release a foldable panel without UTG in this day and age. The company is researching and developing for the purpose of lowering the costs of UTG precisely because UTG is now a key component in Samsung’s foldable display technology. The point is, UTG will probably be included in all of Samsung’s foldables moving forward, Lite/budget or not.

    Now, as far as the validity of this rumor is concerned, you shouldn’t get your hopes up just yet, or at least not to the extent that you’d be saving money over a rumor of an unconfirmed device. The source behind this latest tidbit of information, @DSCCRoss, hasn’t outright said that the phone is in development but rather that we are hearing about Z Flip Lite with UTG. This could mean that Samsung is thinking about developing this model or that the company is already building it.

  • These were the top 10 smartphones globally for Q3 2020

    The third quarter of the year saw the smartphone market bounce back after the dreadful first and second quarters, with Samsung reclaiming the top spot from Huawei. It also saw Xiaomi emerge as the number three brand globally, passing Apple during this period.

    Now, Canalys has revealed the top 10 smartphone models shipped during Q3 2020, and Apple’s iPhone 11 was far and away the number one device during this period. Apple’s 2019 flagship shipped over 16 million units, according to the tracking firm, followed by the iPhone SE 2020 in second place.

    It’s worth noting Apple didn’t release the iPhone 12 series in Q3, so all eyes will be on Q4 to see what kind of impact the new phones have on the market.

    The top Android phone model for Q3 2020 was the Galaxy A21s in third place, nipping at the iPhone SE’s heels. Samsung’s phone sports a power-efficient processor and a 5,000mAh battery, making for a device that should give you two days of usage. Toss in a ~$200 price tag and a quad rear camera setup, and it seems like the Korean brand struck gold with this device.

  • Samsung May Launch Flagship Galaxy S21 Phone Early to Grab Huawei Share, Say Sources

    Samsung may launch its flagship Galaxy S smartphones more than a month earlier than expected in a bid to grab market share from Huawei and fend off competition from Apple, three sources familiar with the matter said.

    Huawei once challenged Samsung’s top position in the global smartphone market, but the Chinese rival is in survival mode with US restrictions choking off its supplies of chips used in smartphones and telecom equipment.

    South Korean chip industry officials hope Joe Biden’s presidency will ease some of those restrictions, although they are far from certain as they also expect the incoming US administration to maintain a tough stance on China.Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S21 as early as late January next year, whereas it previously launched its flagship S20 phone in early March this year, the sources said, asking not to be identified because the plan is not public.

    The South Korean company shipped 59 percent fewer Galaxy S20 5G series handsets in the United States in the second quarter compared to the previous model’s performance a year earlier, according to research firm Canalys. In contrast, Apple shipped 15 percent more of its flagship iPhone 11 than last year’s best-seller, the iPhone XR.

    Samsung, which lost its No.1 position to Huawei in the second quarter, regained the crown in the third thanks in part to the US restrictions on Huawei. A person at one major supplier of smartphone chips said Huawei’s stockpiles were expected to run out some time early next year.

    Samsung, however, faces intensifying competition from Chinese rivals like Xiaomi and Oppo, which are expected to take advantage of Huawei’s struggle to retain market share.

    Apple also launched its iPhone series in October, about a month later than usual, stepping up competition.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2 to have stereo speakers, tipster says

  • Samsung wants to make at least 10 Million Galaxy S20 FE units this year

    It seems like Samsung is a bit zealous about the upcoming Galaxy S20 FE. According to Korean media reports, the company is planning to produce around 10 Million units of the Galaxy S20 FE this year.

    A report by TheElec says that the aim is to secure the market share for the rest of the 2020. This is understandable considering Huawei recently overtook Samsung to become the leading Smartphone brand. That said, Huawei is now facing a lot of heat due to the US sanctions and this could play in favour of Samsung.

    In fact, it has already topped the Korean market charts with a 67% market share in Q2 2020. This will only give them a boost to improve overall share in 2020 and beyond. Hence, it totally makes sense to categorise the products at difference price points so that it can capture a majority of the segment. That said, it will be interesting to see if Samsung manages to sell the Galaxy S20 FE well given the market situation is heavily focused on sub-$600 segment.

    In all likelihood, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 FE will borrow most of its features from the earlier launched S20 series. The company has already set an unpacking event to launch the device on Wednedsay(September 23). We can expect it to debut in both 4G and 5G variants depending on the market.
