Galaxy S9 launch and release

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S Series duo's latest, Galaxy and Galaxy S9 + S9 increasingly attractive to dikulik. The latest news, this device has entered 3C certification bodies in China and revealed, both adopted the alias fast fast charging and wireless charging like Galaxy S8 and S8 +.

Registered with the code SM-G9600 / DS (Galaxy S9 in China), SM-G9608 / DS (Galaxy S9 Taiwan), and SM-G9605 / DS (Galaxy S9 + China), three are charging the battery on a regular basis via cable 5V / 2A and fast charging 9V / 167A / 15W.

Obviously, these specifications are basically looks similar to Samsung Fast Charging technology that is in the Galaxy devices S8, S8 +, and Note8. This indicates that the charge process S9 series Galaxy faster than the Galaxy S8 series.

But it seems this is not a problem. Galaxy Galaxy S8 and S8 + which has a battery capacity of 3000 mAh and 3500 mAh only able to be fully charged in about 1 hour 40 minutes or less.

In fact, according to rumors, the Galaxy S9 and S9 + will be equipped with the same battery capacity. Where S9 capacity of 3000 mAh and 3500 mAh S9 +. Thus, it is assumed the S9 Series will have the same charging speed as its predecessor.

In addition has been registered into the 3C certification, S9 and S9 + is also said to have passed FCC certification bodies, although there is no information that is newsworthy. However, the long-awaited moment both recorded in TENAA.

Yes, if it is entered into TENAA, of course we will get a clearer picture, especially related to the embedded hardware specifications. Not only that, TENAA also usually will reveal some of the basic functions of the smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are amongst the most anticipated handsets of this year, and while we’re waiting for Samsung to unveil them, which will happen at the end of next month at MWC 2018, a YouTube channel called ‘DBS DESIGNING’ has released concept Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus handsets.

DBS DESIGNING’s work is portrayed in the video which is embedded down below, and even though the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will not look exactly like the devices pictured here, they could end up looking quite similar, actually, read on.

These two devices are made out of metal and glass, while both its back and front sides are curved. Only the Galaxy S9 sports a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, and it comes with a single rear-facing camera, while the Galaxy S9 Plus comes with a dual camera setup, but the fingerprint scanner is not located on the back of the phone, it seems to be embedded into the display instead.

The power / lock key is placed on the right-hand side of both of these phones, while the Bixby key and volume up / down buttons can be found on the left. A Type-C USB port is located on the bottom of both phones, and it is flanked by a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The bezels on both of these phones are really thin, and the top bezel is the thickest of them all, which is expected to be the case with the real Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus units, actually. The display sports rounded corners on both smartphones, and the Galaxy S9 Plus is noticeably larger than its sibling.

Now, in addition to envisioning their design, DBS DESIGNING also envisioned some specs for these two smartphones. The Galaxy S9 sports a 5.6-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display, while the Galaxy S9 Plus comes with a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED panel. Real life Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus handset will probably ship with somewhat larger displays, as the Galaxy S9 is expected to sport a 5.8-inch panel, while the Galaxy S9 Plus will probably arrive with a 6.2 or 6.3-inch display.

Both phones come with a 12-megapixel dual shooter on the back (f/1.5 and f/2.4 aperture), while an 8-megapixel camera is included on the front. IP68 certification for water and dust resistance is also included here, and the same can be said for an iris scanner. These two concept phones sport 4GB and 6GB of RAM, respectively, while they also offer 64GB and 128GB of storage. The source has shown off Black, Silver, Blue, White and Gold variant of their concept Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus smartphones, which you can check out in the provided video. The real Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus may resemble these two concept phones in terms of the design, except for the fact that both phones will probably sport a rear-facing fingerprint scanner.

Following the recent Bluetooth Sig-certification of a new Samsung chipset – the Exynos 5 Series 7872 SoC – the company has now taken to its own official blog to confirm and clarify some of the details about its new mid-range chip.

According to Samsung and despite its middle-of-the-road status, the new Exynos 7872 SoC will be powerful enough to take on console-quality gaming, high-quality photography, and more mundane tasks such as browsing the web. It may not be as strong as a flagship processor but it should satisfy the needs of most consumers. With regard to Samsung’s purpose behind the chip, the company has stated a desire to bring mid-range devices closer to the premium end of the Android device spectrum.

To meet the above-stated goal, Samsung confirms that it has doubled up on the number of Cortex-A73 cores found in the latest iteration of this chip series. That means the 64-bit Exynos 7872 SoC comes in a Hexa-core configuration with two of those cores clocked at 2.0GHz, while the remaining four Cortex-A53 cores are clocked at 1.6Ghz. Samsung says the new configuration increases single-core performance by two-fold over its predecessor.

Meanwhile, the new chip embeds a two-carrier aggregation-capable LTE modem, for peak download speeds of around 300Mbps and uploads of around 150Mbps where possible. While the company didn’t confirm the bands, that modem also allows support for a huge range of network environments including CDMA, GSM, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, LTE-FDD, and LTE-TDD. That’s in addition to the probably unsurprising inclusion of a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5. On the camera side of the equation, the Exynos 7872 supports full HD video at 120 frames per second. The chip also supports features such as depth-adjustment and dual-camera setups to assist Android device manufacturers in bringing top-end photography to mid-range handsets.

Taken as a whole, that package should be reasonably appealing to both consumers and smartphone makers. As already stated, it won’t necessarily enable a direct competition between devices using the new Exynos 7872 SoC and devices such as the Galaxy Note 8 or up-and-coming Samsung flagships. It will, however, put a lot more power into the hands of smartphone users in the middle of the market, where a much higher number of devices are sold. That, in turn, should allow users to get a lot more out of their devices and developers to create more and better applications for users.

Samsung is planning to debut a 5G modem for mobile chips meant to be integrated into one of its upcoming Exynos platforms for the company’s Android smartphones by the end of the year, BusinessKorea reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The modem may be part of the next flagship system-on-chip from Samsung’s foundry unit that will power the Galaxy S10 lineup and the Galaxy Note 10 phablet in 2019. Sources claim the creation was already presented to Samsung’s major partners during last week’s Consumer Electronics Show, having supposedly been privately showcased at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The chip was unveiled as the Exynos 5G but that may only be a tentative name, according to the same report.

Besides being compatible with the fifth generation of mobile networks whose first standard was fully defined just last month and hence allow the OEM to offer a new level of connectivity support to its customers, the modem is also meant to allow Samsung to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm as far as mobile telecommunications solutions are concerned.

The Exynos 5G was developed by Samsung’s System LSI Business Department and its prototypes are expected to be made available to the company’s wireless division in the second half of the year.

The chip is likely to be used for testing Samsung’s 5G equipment that’s recently been ordered by Verizon. It’s currently unclear since when has the South Korean tech giant been developing the exact configuration of the Exynos 5G but the modem is said to be entirely compliant with the Release 15 NSA 5G NR specification announced last month that’s scheduled to be completed in June.

Both high-frequency mmWave bands and those below 6GHz are said to be supported by the Exynos 5G, with its backward compatibility reportedly going as far as 2G. Its carrier aggregation solution can allow for peak download speeds of 5Gbps, according to the same report.

The Exynos 5G or a refined version of the thereof should be commercialized within Samsung’s smartphones in early 2019, insiders claim, adding that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 or however the Snapdragon 845 successor ends up being called should also feature an entirely 5G-ready chip. Intel is expected to commercialize its own 5G-enabled XMM8060 modem in mid-2019, while Samsung should share first official details on its upcoming 5G modem in the second half of the year.

Last year when Xiaomi launched the Mi Mix, it was dubbed a concept phone because of its insane bezel-less screen. It was concept that has gone mainstream in 2017 with the likes of Samsung, Essential, LG and even Apple announcing phones which are almost all screen. Xiaomi's phone last year was even bold in terms of industrial design -- it had a ceramic back, something which Essential further implemented in its device. A couple of weeks ago, one day before the launch of the iPhone X,Xiaomi launched the Mi Mix 2 . It has graduated from being a concept to a mainstream phone. The confluence of this gorgeous industrial design and the latest power packed features found on modern Android phones make it wondrous. Almost so wondrous that it can be dubbed a Wonder Woman hidden in the shell of a smartphone shell. 

The Good

Like Wonder Woman, this one is so utterly powerful. It has all the bells and whistles that one expects of a modern Android flagship. It has Qualcomm's latest flagship processor replete with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage and even dual SIM functionality supporting 43 bands around the world -- the most for a smartphone in the world. 

It is an immovable object like the Amazonian goddess. You can have multiple apps open and stress test the hell out of it or even play high resolution games like Dead Trigger 2 and it would operate without breaking sweat. It doesn't get heated up, and none of the nastiness about high performance phones plagues this. 

The ceramic back is also interesting because it makes the phone resistant to scratches. The steel frame now curves and wraps around subtly which eliminates the rectangular nature of the phone and makes it ergonomic to hold. 

With a capacious 3,450mAh battery Xiaomi also ensures that this phone isn't just powerful and gorgeous, but it has legs to run circles around some of its competition. On a given day with medium to heavy usage the phone can last more than a single day on a single charge. It can be refilled also rapidly with its USB Type C port using fast charge. 

Xiaomi has fixed the biggest weakness of the Mi Mix. Its camera. The Mi Mix 2 has a new 12-megapixel camera with an optical stabilised lens. It is the same one as the Mi 6, Xiaomi claims and it is wonderful. Despite not being a dual camera system, its performance in its segment is the best one. It is right up there with the dual camera system on the Nokia 8, while it steamrolls the OnePlus 5 generally in image quality in both low and daylight. It is the best camera Xiaomi has made till date and for most people it is going to be a very reliable camera that would work in any situation. The 4 axis stabilisation also makes the video quality of the phone to be surprisingly smooth which is coupled with good audio capture facilities. 



The audio output of the Mix 2 is superb.Despite having a mono speaker, it packs a powerful amplifier and DAC which delivers loud and clear audio. Xiaomi has also managed to outfit a proper microphone which wasn't present in the previous phone which means the call quality is back to normal. 

The Bad

The Mix 2 is gorgeous and powerful, but not perfect. The biggest trade off is the front selfie camera which is placed on the bottom half of the phone. It is far from perfect. The good news is that when you fill the phone, the interface for the app auto rotates and saves photos in the right orientation. But it a trade off. 

In order to miniaturise the design of the original Mix, Xiaomi aggressively moved to make some more changes which included removing the 3.5mm jack like the iPhone. Xiaomi claims that the 3.5mm jack is a large component and output through a type C connector has potential for better headphones in the future. Right now, one needs to deal with irritating dongles which are easy to lose. 

Similarly, to have a better camera Xiaomi has added a bit of a camera bump on the back of the phone. Unlike most new high-end phones it doesn't even have a dual camera system for a portrait mode like feature. Now that's a bummer as the OnePlus 5 and even the Mi 6 have that feature. 

The battery size has been drastically reduced from the original Mix. From 4,400mAh battery the Mix 2 has a 3,450mAh battery which obviously means the battery life isn't as good as its predecessor. That being said, in tandem with software optimisations in Mi UI 9, the effect isn't very exaggerated. Battery life remains good on this phone. 

Ceramic on the back of the phone isn't only a massive fingerprint magnet, but also makes the phone more susceptible to damage as ceramic is more brittle than glass. If you drop the phone with substantial impact, the ceramic will crack which will cause severe damage to the phone. 

Should you buy it?

The Mix 2 is ultimate confluence of beauty and untamed power in a smartphone. It marries the looks and skills of Wonder Woman in a wonderful package and a reasonable price. It may not have the raw power of the OnePlus 5 or the subtle class of the Nokia 8 , but it makes up for this in assassin like gorgeous looks and amazonian warrior like fire power. Make no mistake, this wonderful phone isn't only Xiaomi's best phone to date, it is one of the best around. Period. 

Circulated recently leaked photo of a 3D rendering of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy S9 + S9. Both these smartphones seem brings the concept behind the new design with glossy casing that is likely made of glass and equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the bottom of the camera. Galaxy S9 appeared carrying a camera, while the Galaxy S9 + supported dual cameras.

The news circulated earlier, Samsung Galaxy S9 carries the curved display on both sides measuring 5.8 inches with a resolution of Quad High Definition (QHD) 2960 x 1440 pixels using the Super AMOLED technology with a density of 570 pixels per inch. Samsung Galaxy S9 also protect the screen with curved glass Gorilla Glass 5. This smartphone uses Android 8.0 operating system with a bandage Oreo TouchWiz UI interface.

Performance Samsung Galaxy S9 beyond doubt with the support chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 845 that carries the octa-core Kryo 64-bit 385 which consists of a quad-core 2.8GHz and quad-core speed and 1.8 GHz reinforced with 4GB or 6GB of RAM memory and reinforced Adreno 630 graphics.

Connectivity phone is quite complete with the presence of WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, HSPA, NFC, GPS / Glonass, and supported USB Type-C port. This phone is equipped with a 3200mAh battery capacity to meet the power requirement. Samsung provide Galaxy S9 phone with an internal memory or ROM capacity of 64GB which is still supported by the presence of a microSD slot for external memory expansion up to 256GB (hybrid slots).

Side of the camera, the Samsung Galaxy S9 still rely on measuring 12.2-megapixel rear camera with sensor 1 / 2.5 inch Dual Pixel technology with an aperture of f / 1.7 is equipped with autofocus capabilities and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) , and LED flash .

This smartphone is powered cameras with resolution 8-megapixel front aperture of f / 1.7, autofocus for photos selfies and video calls. Not only that, this smartphone has the ability to water and dust resistant with IP68 certificate. Samsung Galaxy S9 also supported Iris Scanner features and the fingerprint sensor.
