DxOMark: Samsung Galaxy S10+ camera is as good as the Mate 20 Pro's

Samsung's new triple-camera setup on the  Galaxy S10   and   S10+   is undoubtedly one of the key selling points of handsets and it appears that DxOMark thinks so as well. The overall score is 109, which matches the   Mate 20 Pro   and the   P20 Pro . And interestingly enough, the  Galaxy S10+ 's photo and video scores are 114 and 98, respectively, which are also the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro's camera scores. However, the Galaxy S10+ excels in the selfie department. In fact, according to DxOMark's selfie ranking, the Galaxy S10+ takes the lead with the Note9 following closely behind along with the  Pixel 3 . Back to the Galaxy S10+'s camera quality. The phone appears to have wide dynamic range, good exposure, accurate color reproduction and convincing bokeh simulation. The video recording capabilities are also outstanding with the smooth framing and image stabilization standing out the most. Of course, nothing is perfect so DxOMark ...

Exynos Galaxy S10 visits GeekBench, still behind the iPhone XS in single-core test

The Samsung Galaxy S10 has been spotted on GeekBench and the numbers are in. This time, it's the Exynos 9820 variant for South Korea (SM-G973N), and there are notable differences with the previously seen results from the S10+  in Snapdragon 855 trim . The single-core result, in particular, is far ahead of any other chip in the Android world - the current Kirin 980 (around the 3400s) and Snapdragon 845 (ballpark is in 2400s) are no match for the next-gen Exynos, and early Snapdragon 855 figures are much lower too (3400-3550 depending on who you ask). In fact, the older Exynos 9810 gets closest, posting single core results upwards of 3600 and into the high 3700s under the right conditions. Even so, the iPhone XS remains out of reach.

Samsung Galaxy A10 to be company's first phone with UD fingerprint reader

It seems that Samsung is sticking to its plan of implementing new features to its mid-range A-series first and the most recent rumor is a testament for that even though it sounds like a long shot. According to a Chinese leakster, Samsung is working on an upper-mid-range Galaxy A10 smartphone with an under-display fingerprint reader. The tweet doesn't reveal anything else although, this is not the first time we hear of a Galaxy A10 coming. The same account on Twitter reported that Samsung is working on a Galaxy A model powered by a Snapdragon 845 SoC. The Galaxy A10 seems like the perfect fit for the FP reader and the flagship SoC given that the Galaxy A8s, for example, is rocking a Snapdragon 710. We hope that more evidence will pile up soon because at this point we are just speculating and guessing.

Xiaomi Passes Samsung to Become Top Smartphone Seller in India in Q4 2017: Counterpoint, Canalys

Samsung Electronics has lost its crown as the top smartphone seller in India for the first time in six years, as it was outsold by China’s  Xiaomi  in the final quarter of 2017, data from two tech research firms shows. Xiaomi’s aggressively priced suite of high-spec handsets and market expansion strategy enabled it to take the top spot in the world’s biggest smartphone market after China, said Tarun Pathak of Counterpoint Research. The Chinese company, which is exploring a public listing and is now valued at close to $100 billion (roughly Rs. 6.34 lakh crores), entered India just over three years ago. Its strategy there has so far rested on flash sales on leading homegrown e-commerce player Flipkart and US tech giant  Amazon.com ‘s Indian site, an approach that helped it snatch market share without have to spend heavily on marketing. Counterpoint pegged Xiaomi’s smartphone market share in India at 25 percent in the fourth quarter based on sh...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to  ZDNet  at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...
