Samsung Galaxy S8 : dual photo sensor and the scanner of the Iris is … – Le Journal du Geek

The Galaxy Note 7 is surely the failure in the most bitter of Samsung in recent years, but this does not prevent to think of already (and hopefully) in the future. According to sources of the Korea Herald, there is no doubt that the Galaxy S8, the next high-end smartphone of Samsung will have a dual photo sensor as well as a scan of the Iris.

The Galaxy Note 7 might be dead and buried (or cremated, it is your choice), his direct heir will no doubt be the Galaxy S8 that is expected for the beginning of next year. If we are to believe the statements of the vendors of Samsung reported by the very serious Korea Herald, the next high-end smartphone of the Korean manufacturer is expected not only to create a dual photo sensor in his back, but also the same scanner from Iris that the Galaxy Note 7.

A double photo sensor… in order To be like the competition ?

Samsung never uses the same camera on high-end smartphones, and it improves the camera of its flagships each year, ” explained one of the sources of the Korean newspaper. “there will be surely an improvement of the camera of the S8 “. And for the Korean newspaper, there is no doubt that Samsung will integrate a dual photo sensor, as do all manufacturers of high-end smartphones, including the Apple (with the iPhone 7 Plus) and LG (with the LG G5, and V20), its two biggest competitors.

The first rumors of module photo with a double sensor are already several months. As reported SamMobile, there was talk then of a sensor of 12 MP (from within Sony) backed up by a second sensor of 13 MP. What would this second sensor ? For the moment, a mystery.

The same scanner from Iris that the Galaxy Note 7

Finally, like the Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S8 embarquerait a scanner of an Iris on its facade. This scanner would be an additional safety to unlock more easy the phone. According to the indiscretions of the Korea Herald, Samsung would use exactly the same suppliers and the same components as for the Galaxy Note 7.

During the announcement of the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung had announced that it will work with its partners to ensure that this scanner is supported by more and more third-party applications with the time. It can be assumed that this broader integration will be available for the Galaxy S8.

Remember to finish it, as it is rumored that Samsung would not include any version of a flat screen of its Galaxy S8. A smartphone that is also equipped with a Snapdragon 830 and possibly without the iconic physical button Home. It is expected to be announced at the beginning of next year, probably around February or march of 2017.

The Samsung Galaxy C9 will be presented on October 21 – Fredzone

Samsung has released a new teaser on Weibo during the night in order to announce the launch of a new terminal on 21 October. It clearly alludes to the Galaxy C9 and it comes with the same image, leaving guess the lines in the terminal and, in particular, that of its all-new antenna.

If you believe this image, the terminal should set the bar quite high in terms of finishes. It would be featuring a metal casing and a protective glass slightly curved.

Samsung Galaxy C9 Teaser : image 1

The Samsung Galaxy C9 should set the bar quite high in terms of finishes.

No particular change in the level of the module photo, however. It is always centered, and integrated one-piece rectangular metal placed next to a double flash-tone.



The Galaxy C9 should have the right to a metal housing

Samsung has not integrated autofocus laser device, but this is not surprising, because the high-end phones of the brand are also lacking.

The ergonomics match those of the other devices produced by the manufacturer. The two buttons on the volume are placed on the left and the power button to the right. The front-facing camera and sensors usual frame for the speaker located at the top of the slab.

The real novelty comes from the antenna, which consists of three thin lines, lines that did no harm to blend in with the decor. It looks a lot like one of the R9s.

The poster published by Samsung did not refer to the technical data sheet of the terminal, but this is not a problem since the latter has been the subject of numerous leaks over the past weeks and we finally have an idea clear enough of what it should offer.

A new antenna and a technical data sheet top of the range

The Galaxy C9 has a right to an AMOLED display of 6 inches capable of displaying a type definition Full HD (1920 x 1080) and it would be powered by a Snapdragon 652 composed of eight cores coupled to a GPU Adreno 510 and 6 Gb of RAM. This configuration seems pretty solid, so.

The storage space would reach for his hand, the 64 Gb and it would be quite possible to extend it through a micro SD card.

Samsung would have taken the greatest care of the camera part and it would be question of a sensor of 16 million pixels. Same thing on the side of the front-facing camera. The 4G would be, of course, and it would be the same for the Wi-fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC. In this respect, it should also rely on a battery of 4,000 mAh.

The Galaxy C9 should be broken down into three different colours and, more specifically, silver, gold and rose gold. It could also be accompanied by a Galaxy C9 Pro, but we know finally few things about this declination.

Samsung would present this week the Galaxy On Nxt – LesMobiles.com

Samsung has unveiled on Twitter two teasers for a future smartphone. It will be formalized next October 20 in India and there will be exclusively sold on the portal merchant Flipkart. Its name : Galaxy On Nxt.

In the darkest hours of its history in the mobile phone, when the Galaxy S5 was decried as the most plastic of high-end smartphones (omitting all the technical qualities and ergonomics of the phone), Samsung has adopted a simple strategy : multiply the initiatives on segments of the economy. Thus, China, India and the emerging countries have seen a multitude of phones Korean. And as the credibility of the brand is now shaken by the double reminder of the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung seems to be back to his habits. The Galaxy C9, just certified by Tenaa, could happen in the next few weeks (or days) in China. And a new Galaxy Is expected to make its entry into India this week.

Samsung Galaxy On Nxt teaser

metal processors

The indian subsidiary of Samsung has published on its official Twitter account two teaser video for a new smartphone called ” Galaxy On Nxt “. Is it a code name to explain that the next Galaxy will be unveiled ? We are thinking particularly of Galaxy On5 (2016), which has still not been formalized. Or is it really a new model of the series ? That’s a good question. Always is it that the Korean firm confirms two information about this smartphone : its chassis will be entirely made of metal and its chipset will be octo-core. This perfectly sets the Galaxy On5 (2016) according to the rumors are recent, but also its big brother, the Galaxy On7 (2017), which was unveiled in September.

Recall that the Galaxy On5 (2016) is, according to the leaks last August, a smartphone with HD display of 5 inches, chipset octo-core processor (probably a Snapdragon 617), 3 Gb RAM, 32 Gb of internal storage, a photo sensor of 13 megapixels, webcam, 8-megapixel, battery of 2600 mAh and a fingerprint reader at the front. The whole would be animated by Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and put it away in a metal chassis 8.1 mm thick and 142 grams on the scale. An interesting configuration, vis-à-vis the Galaxy On5 of 2015. And especially a good candidate to be the ” Nxt “…

A launch too close to the previous one ?

This launch is very curious. Because it occurs three weeks after the arrival of the Galaxy On8 in India, a smartphone that is based on a design that exceeded vis-à-vis the standards of Samsung (the mobile takes over a part of the ergonomics of the Galaxy Alpha, for example) and the technical data sheet, also in delay vis-à-vis new technological developments : Exynos 7580, 3 Gb of RAM, 16 Gb of storage, a photo sensor 13 megapixel camera (with lens opening at f/1.9), webcam, 5-megapixel, battery 3300 mAh, all tidy behind a screen Super AMOLED HD 5.5-inch, the only real good news in this device. Why market mobile segment it is replaced at the same dealer, less than a month later ? Response, perhaps, to this issue in two small days.

On the buttons, no novelty. The volume button would be always on the left side while the power on will keep the right spine. However, the device would have two traps are different. There is currently no visibility on the location of the headphone jack and on the connector.

However, these devices show a new way their antennas. In fact, even if they are always two in number and always in the top and bottom of the terminal, will come in the form of three parallel lines purposes, the color of which is close to that of the hull.

Samsung Galaxy S3 : its launch would be scheduled after Christmas – LesMobiles.com

last September, the Galaxy Tab S3 we have is a false hope. Waited in the aisles of the IFA, the third generation tablet premium Samsung could arrive only at the beginning of next year, missing the Christmas period.

Galaxy Tab S3Samsung has not introduced a tablet in the S range at the IFA trade show, which took place last month in Berlin. Several leaks announced for its arrival in September, to be in the store at the time of the festivals of end of the year. But there will eventually be another way : Samsung will wait a year and a half before renewing its high-end models with the Galaxy Tab S3. In fact, according to our colleagues of SamMobile, the Galaxy Tab S3 should not be formalized until the first quarter of the year 2017. That is, after the period so lucrative holiday season, which seems very curious on the part of Samsung.

Version 9.7-inch confirmed ?

SamMobile also confirmed the serial numbers of the two versions of the Galxy Tab S3. It is SM-T820 for the WiFi version and the SM-T825 for the LTE version. These identifiers are similar to those of the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, whose serial numbers are SM-T810 and SM-T815, respectively, for the WiFi version, and LTE. This is no doubt, therefore. On the other hand, SamMobile does not reveal any feature of a technical nature regarding to these two tablets, not even the screen size. It would seem logical that the two serial numbers that correspond to the standard sizes (9.7-inch). However, the Galaxy Tab S2 was initially presented in two sizes : 8 and 9.7-inch.

And these two versions will probably be back early next year. In fact, in the month of August last, a version 8 inch Galaxy Tab S3 has been found on Tenaa. The certification body argued that the slate, the definition of which corresponded to the standard QXGA (2048 x 1536, for a tile in format 4/3), was powered by a Snapdragon 652 and 3 Gb of RAM. These two items were accompanied by 32 Gb of internal storage, a battery of 4000 mAh, as well as two photo sensors 8-megapixel rear and 2 megapixel to the front.

Two leaks for two different versions

earlier, it is a tablet with the format 16/10th, which was unveiled by Evan Blass, aka Evleaks. The latter has published on Twitter a series of visuals for the press. And they represent more of a tablet with the format 16/10th that of a slate-format 4/3. Hence the hypothesis of two models, the same as last year. All of this remains, of course, based on rumours, and therefore partly speculative. So, take a few precautions vis-à-vis this information. As much as it seems to be amazing, despite the reliability of the sources of SamMobile, as the Korean firm let go the last quarter without a true premium product in the segment of tablets. Already this will also be the case on the phablets running, the end of the year will be hard for Samsung…

Thus, he would drop out of the range Note without giving him a substitute, and would leave the S and the S Edge to take the entire market for him. It must be said that getting the bad taste that left the Note 7 could well go exclusively by methods as strong.

The next year, Samsung will come back in force what’s more is that the Exynos 8895-etched by 10nm FinFET will equip its Galaxy S8. Its deal with Qualcomm is that it will affect also money for the creation of the Snapdragon 830.
