At the moment, Samsung's foldable phones come in two form factors - a smartphone-tablet hybrid, and a clamshell phone. But if a recent tweet by tipster Yogesh Brar is accurate, it seems that we might have a third form factor on the way.
According to Brar, he claims that Samsung is apparently working on a third form factor, a tri-fold device, and that it is expected to launch alongside the Fold 5 and Flip 5 later this year. For those unfamiliar, a tri-fold is where there are three display panels that unfold out to become an even larger display.
In some ways, you could think of it as being similar to the Galaxy Z Fold, but with one added display panel. It sounds like it might be a stretch, but in reality, it isn't. Samsung had previously filed a patent for such a device back in 2020, so the idea of them bringing that patent to life is very possible.
That being said, whether or not it'll end up like the device we imagined or something else entirely remains to be seen, and it should be taken with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we'll have more details to share later on. In the meantime, what do you think? Is a tri-fold smartphone something you might be interested in?
Samsung today declared another expansion to its Exynos group of items with the Exynos Associate U100, the organization's first super wideband (UWB) chip. The chipset is planned for use in a few key fields including versatile correspondences equipment, car, and IoT tech too.
Samsung says that the U100 incorporates running and situating highlights close by security which can be utilized for many applications. UWB is a short-range remote correspondence innovation that considers low-power information moves utilizing a wide recurrence range.
The organization asserts that the Associate U100 can give an exactness of single-digit centimeters and under five degrees, which will make it ideal for GPS advancements and even VR encounters, where it is crucial for track of moment developments. The new chipset likewise includes radio recurrence (RF), baseband, implanted Streak (eFlash) memory and power the board IP into a solitary chip. It likewise accompanies a power-saving element that makes it ideal for gadgets with restricted power limits - think savvy labels and other comparative remote equipment.
Notwithstanding the new chip send off, Samsung likewise uncovered its "Exynos Interface" brand, which will be utilized for short-range remote correspondence arrangements including Bluetooth and WiFi items.
Samsung fans, celebrate - the South Korean telecoms goliath has at last disclosed its most recent midrange phones, the Galaxy A54 and A34. While the two gadgets share a great deal of likenesses, there are a few distinctions between the two handsets with regards to equipment and execution. The phones were at last declared recently for European and UK markets.
While the A34 and A54 share a comparative layout of sorts, the Galaxy A54 is a piece more modest as it accompanies a 6.4-inch show with an opening punch camera cut-out, versus the A34's 6.6-inch screen with a waterdrop indent. The two showcases accompany AMOLED boards, worked in finger impression sensors, FHD+ goals, and 120Hz revive rates.
Concerning plan, the phones highlight a comparable shift focus over to the Galaxy S23 and S23 Besides, albeit the A54 utilizes Gorilla Glass on the two sides, while the A34 utilizes a plastic board on the back. Galaxy A54 5G comes in Lime, Graphite, Violet, and White, while the Galaxy A34 5G will be accessible in Lime, Graphite, Violet, and Silver.
Concerning camera equipment, the Galaxy A54 accompanies a 12MP Super Wide Camera with f/2.2 opening, a f/1.8 50MP Primary Camera , a f/2.4 5MP Large scale Camera, and a f/2.2 32MP front camera. The A34 likewise packs four cameras, which incorporate a 8MP Super Wide Camera with f/2.2 opening, a f/1.8 48MP Primary Camera , a f/2.4 5MP Large scale Camera, and a f/2.2 13MP front camera.
The two phones accompany a Samsung Exynos 1380 chip, and will come in a few memory designs including 6GB Slam + 128GB Capacity, 8GB Smash + 128GB Capacity, and 8GB Smash + 256GB Capacity. Extra specs incorporate help for miniature SD cards with up to 1TB limit, 5000 mAh batteries, Android 13 with One UI 5.1 programming, up to four ages of operating system redesigns and five years of safety refreshes.
When the Samsung Galaxy S23 series was launched, Samsung gave the phone's cameras a massive upgrade by sticking a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor in the phone. Whether or not we actually need a 200MP is a debate for another time, but in terms of pure tech advancements, it's impressive.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung might not be bothering to do the same with its upcoming foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This is according to a report from Ice Universe who claims that the Fold 5 is expected to use the same module as the Fold 4, which means that it will still feature the same 50MP primary camera alongside a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto.
It was previously rumored that the Fold 5 could adopt the 200MP sensor in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but according to Ice Universe, that's a no go as apparently it will be "impossible" to use the HP2 in the Fold 5. Seeing as how it was possible it was used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, we can only assume that by "impossible", it means that due to the design of the Fold 5, Samsung will not be able to fit the HP2 sensor in the phone.
Is this a bummer? Yes and no. Assuming the tweet is accurate, seeing no camera upgrade certainly makes the phone seem kind of boring, but on the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 4's camera is already pretty good, plus the selling point of the phone is its foldable display that turns it from phone to tablet, so customers who buy it might not necessarily want or need the best possible camera out there.
Either way it's still a good idea to take this with a grain of salt, but hopefully we'll have more details in the coming months to share with you all.
Just yesterday, we provided details regarding the implied valuing of the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy A34 and A54 where it created the impression that the two phones would end costing more than their ancestors, which is somewhat of an unpleasant reality thinking about that these gadgets are intended to be mid-officers.
Fortunately the two phones could turn out to be somewhat less expensive than what was recently revealed. As per a tweet by solid insider Roland Quandt of WinFuture.de, the new pricings that he has uncovered turned out to be 499 Euro for the base Galaxy A54 model, and 399 Euro for the base Galaxy A34 model.
For setting, the previous report proposed that the Galaxy A34 could be estimated beginning at 419 Euro, while the Galaxy A54 could be valued beginning at 519 Euro. That being said, Quandt takes note of that the costs could be different because of expenses and obligations, so there is an opportunity the past report may as yet be right, so we'll simply need to sit back and watch.
Quandt likewise recommends that these costs in Europe doesn't be guaranteed to reflect how much the phones will cost in the US, and that if and when the phones really do send off stateside, they could turn out to be less expensive, yet by and by that is simply something we'll need to sit back and watch when Samsung makes both the Galaxy A34 and A54 official.
