Comes with IP68 certification against water and dust, Military 810 certification and promises to withstand falls of 1.5 meters. While Samsung aims to entice businesses with this phone, the company says it will sell to individual users as well.

It has a 4,050 mAh replaceable battery with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The 6.3-inch screen has an FHD+ panel that will not surprise you but is perfect in the circumstances it is intended to be used.

The company says it also works in rain and snow and even while wearing gloves. Although not a flagship, Samsung decided to give it two rear cameras, one standard 25-megapixel and the other 8-megapixel wide-angle.

On the front there is a 13-megapixel camera. It’s all powered by an Exynos 9611 processor with eight cores and 2Ghz frequency and Android 10 operating system

In the past Samsung has produced flagships of this category as the Galaxy S8 Active. While the Xcover Pro is not designed to replace the S8 Active, it may seem appropriate for those fans who lack such a device.

The real Samsung Galaxy S20+ images showcased online

There won’t be a Galaxy S11!

Samsung has decided not to introduce the Galaxy S11. Instead, the Korean company will switch to the Galaxy S20. Speculation about the name change came in recent weeks as the XDA Developers forum released the first photos of the Galaxy S20 Plus.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

It’s the smartphone’s flashing screen that confirms the new name. The photo also confirms Samsung’s new flagship selfie camera that has adopted a Note 10-like approach where the sensor is placed in the middle of the screen.

With the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus Samsung has somewhat softened the curved sides of the screen and with the Galaxy S20 according to the XDA phone flattening them in the hands.

At the rear is the camera system which reportedly consists of, a common wide-angle lens, a super wide-angle portrait, a macro lens and a telephoto lens.

Samsung will unveil the entire Galaxy S20 line of Unpacked on February 11th in various screen sizes and with 5G connectivity. Finally the company’s next folding phone, called the Galaxy Bloomb, is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy S20.

Ryzen 4000 CPU owners, Samsung has heard your cries.

Samsung has officially unveiled its first consumer SSD PCIe Gen4, which introduces the M.2 NVMe model, which the South Korean company claims it will defeat competition in many segments, reports Overclock3D.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The new 980 Pro PCIe Gen4 SSD promises sequential data read speed of 6.5 GB/s and sequential write speed of 5 GB/s. Reaching the aforementioned speeds will require a PCIe 4.0 compatible system, which makes the 980 PRO’s performance available only on AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation systems at the moment.

To achieve these speeds, Samsung has developed a new SSD PCIe 4.0 compatible controller, updated 3D V-NAND to enable improved efficiency, better speeds and a V-NAND size up to 128 layers.

Samsung is planning to launch the 980 Pro PCIe Gen4 SSDs on January 21 in the US and South Korea, respectively globally in February. SSDs will be available in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB and 1TB, while prices are not yet known.

TCL Revealed 10 Series Smartphones: Comes With 5G and Four Rear Cameras

TCL 10 Pro, TCL 10 5G and TCL 10L make an appearance at CES 2020

TCL has introduced a series of phones in the upper segment of its market. The TCL 10 Series consists of the TCL 10 5G, 10 Pro and 10L models. The phones will arrive in global markets later this year, GSMArena reports.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

TCL 10 5G is the company’s first 5G phone and will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7-Series (probably Snapdragon 765G). The phone has a large screen with punch-hole camera and glass reflective back with fingerprint sensor. The TCL 10 5G has four cameras and dual LED flash modules. The specifications of individual cameras are not known, but the main sensor is known to have 64MP.

TCL 10 Pro looks similar to the 10 5G, but comes with a different display. Offered “edge AMOLED” screen for selfie camera. Instead of the holographic reflective pattern, in the background is the glossy schematic. The phone has two single-LED flash modules, with 64MP main camera. This model’s fingerprint sensor is located below the screen.

TCL 10L is the base model on the line, which comes with four cameras on the back (48MP main sensor) and a fingerprint sensor that is also on the back. The screen has a punch-hole opening for the selfie camera.

TCL has not released the full specifications of its new line of phones as the company is planning to make its full presentation at MWC at the end of February.

Intel: Future H Series CPUs will have speeds of over 5GHz

But we’re still waiting on more details.

During the CES 2020, Intel made a very ambitious statement: the company plans to exceed 5GHz with the next-generation 10th-generation Core i7 H-series, intended for laptops, reports Engadget.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

This will make the processors even faster than the current model from the Core i9 H – 9980HK series, which offers up to 5GHz maximum. On the other hand, it’s not surprising that Intel is keen to exceed those speeds, but it’s interesting that it does so with the lower i7 line. This means that models from the i9 line will potentially be even faster.

In addition, the company claims that the 10th generation H-series processors will have better scalability in its eight cores, which should allow for further performance improvements.

Intel did not want to release more details about the upcoming processors, but more is expected in the coming days.

OnePlus Concept One: How do the rear cameras disappear?

At CES 2020, OnePlus unveiled the Concept One phone with an disappearing camera, inspired by the McLaren 720S Spider sports car.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The front is identical to the OnePlus 7 Pro, while the built-in features, which is still in the concept phase, are expected to have the same. However, the rear is much more special, as the split makes it look like a McLaren roof top.

Activating the camera, pulls one camera out of the top of the phone, while in the middle flashes three more.

The capabilities of these cameras allow them to shoot even in low light environments. Built-in also has some filters, which stop light in the environment with powerful light, for a much sharper image. While, their activation is reduced from 45 seconds to 0.7 seconds, which is the same as activating a regular phone camera.

The one-of-a-kind OnePlus Concept One phone still remains a concept and it is not known when it will be produced.

What was Samsung thinking when it introduced two weird Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite phones?

Samsung’s “S” and “Note” mean elite.

At the beginning of this first week of 2020, Samsung introduced two new Galaxy phones: the S10 Lite and the Note 10 Lite.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Samsung’s “S” and “Note” mean elite. These two phones are not like that. But Samsung has a reason to hide behind these phones, even though many of the Korean giant’s decisions are confusing.

Why do phones have different camera sets? On the one hand the S10 Lite has Super Optical Image Stabilization technology, something of a surprise for a mid-range phone and on the other hand the Note 10 Lite has a 3.5mm headphone jack and the S10 Lite does not.

Why should S10 Lite exist when it’s Galaxy A line? This is where the real problem begins because it’s difficult to distinguish the Galaxy S10 Lite from the Galaxy A71.

Only after a month the company will bring its flagship phones, specifically the S11 or S20 series or call it whatever you want. The introduction of these phones makes no sense because Samsung has to give its flagship the stage next month.

The S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite share many similarities: both have a 6.7-inch 2400×1800 AMOLED display but not the height of the Galaxy S and Note screens. However the frames are minimal and even on the screen is a cut for the selfie camera.

Even in build quality there is nothing wrong with these devices. In terms of material they are probably even higher than their rivals of the same price.

But there are differences between them. The Note 10 Lite has an S-Pen stylus pen while the S10 Lite does not. Note 10 Lite has 3.5mm headphone port while S10 Lite does not.

The big confusion starts with the camera. Although both have three rear cameras, their setup is completely different. The S10 Lite has two sensors on the back quite interestingly. The main camera is a 48-megapixel wide-angle f/2 aperture and Super Optical Stabilization offered on the Galaxy Note 10. The second sensor is just as interesting as the first is the 5-megapixel macro photo lens that enables close-up shooting.

The Note 10 Lite has a more traditional approach with super wide, wide aperture camera and telephoto.

The change is also noticeable in processors: the Note 10 Lite has the Samsung Exynos 9810 processor and the S10 Lite the Snapdragon 855 processor. Why has Samsung done all of the above by dumping a premium brand into a mid-range segment? With the Note 10 there is an explanation because the phone has a Stylus pencil but the S10 Lite? Probably because it has the Snapdragon 855 processor.

Despite the big name they hold, these phones stand nowhere else but among the mind-range line of Samsung phones.
