Review: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+

With the current generation Samsung Galaxy out and about for months already, people are looking towards the next best thing. Rumours about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 have been circling for a while. Now, a new report from VentureBeat gives away more details and a possible earlier announcement from the South Korean company. The S9 will supposedly be iterative in terms of design the smaller model (SM-G960) is codenamed Star 1 and will have the same 5.8-inch curved AMOLED display, while the S9+ (SM-G965) is codenamed Star 2 and will feature a 6.2-inch screen. It’ll supposedly run on a Snapdragon 845 processor with a 10-nanometer chip. It’s said the phone will make “their first public appearance” at CES but will have a separate launch in March.

Some of the other new features reportedly coming to the device is that the dual-camera setup similar to the Note8 will only be available on the S9+, while the S9 will stick to the single camera setup. And finally the fingerprint sensor will reportedly be moved to the bottom of the camera sensor instead of beside it. RAM will be 4GB on the S9 versus 6GB on the S9+. Both will have 64GB internal storage that’s expandable via microSD and will supposedly retain the 3.5mm audio jack. There will also be AKG stereo speakers and a new DeX docking station supposedly in the works where the S9 will serve as a touchpad or virtual keyboard.

‘HTC U11 Plus’ to get officially launched on November 2nd

The new phone coming out of HTC’s stables is being called the HTC U11 Plus, which seems plausible as it’s seen as the evolution of the HTC U11. And it looks like we’re getting closer and closer to seeing it. HTC teased on Twitter an image showing off the bottom left side of a smartphone with the date “11.02.2017” over it and the words “You’ll believe it all” in the tweet itself. HTC seems to be showing off the nearly bezel-less design to the sides of the device, suggesting we’re also getting an 18:9 display from the Taiwanese company.

Some of the rumoured specs of the HTC U11 Plus include a 5.99-inch 1,440 x 2,880 resolution display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of built-in storage. It’ll supposedly run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box and have a sizable 3,930mAh battery. For its cameras, rumour has it that the rear shooter is a 12-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture, while the front has an 8-megapixel camera.
