Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 10 later this week, a phone that will come in two sizes and will feature Samsung’s latest multi-lens camera system. There’s a triple-lens shooter on the small Galaxy Note 10, while the Note 10+ gets an additional Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor that captures depth data. Does that mean the Note 10 has a chance of becoming the best camera phone of the year?

The Note 10 is going to be followed by Apple’s iPhone 11 flagships, which will deliver triple-cam systems of their own. Google, meanwhile, has confirmed the Pixel 4 will have a two-lens camera system on the back, which should be backed up by new software-based photo technology. The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is also supposed to launch in October, just like the Pixel 4, but Huawei’s phone will have three cameras on the back and will feature better sensors than ever.

$%name This radical smartphone design has a brilliant way to extend battery life by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Xiaomi is accused all the time of cribbing some of its innovations from Apple, so much so that it seems practically baked into the DNA of the company. We’ve covered several indications of how that’s the case, but that’s also not to say this Chinese consumer electronics brand also doesn’t strike out on its own at times and display an intermittent innovative streak. The Xiaomi Mi 9 transparent smartphone is one example, and here’s another — according to newly discovered patent documentation, Xiaomi has come up with a design for an eco-friendly smartphone that uses a solar panel to charge itself.

Moreover, the company isn’t calling it the ePhone. Like we said, it doesn’t copy Apple on everything.

$%name Remember when Huawei said its Android replacement isn’t for smartphones? Well, it is by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

After insisting for months that the company preferred to continue relying on Google’s Android mobile operating system in its handsets, despite a lingering US ban that precludes Google from allowing that to happen, Huawei appears to have finally succumbed to the inevitable.

According to a new report from the Chinese state media outlet Global Times, Huawei is pressing ahead with testing for a handset powered by the company’s own proprietary Hongmeng OS ahead of launching the device as soon as the fourth quarter. It would target low- and medium-end buyers, and be priced at 2,000 yuan (or a little more than $288).

The Apple Watch Series 4 is obviously the best Apple Watch model the company has ever made. It’s lightning fast compared to earlier versions, and it also has a hot new OLED display that takes up even more of the phone’s face. It’s definitely worth every penny of its retail price, but why pay retail when you don’t have to? Amazon has been running a big sale that slashed $50+ off a bunch of different models, but that sale has ended. The good news, however, is that there’s one remaining model on sale and it’s our favorite one! Hurry and you can pick up an Apple Watch Series 4 in Space Gray Aluminum with a Black Sport Loop for just $345 instead of $400, which is a fantastic price!

Huge leak: Galaxy Note 10 captured on video for the first time ever

$%name Huge leak: Galaxy Note 10 captured on video for the first time ever by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

With just days to go until Samsung takes the wraps off of its last big flagship smartphone launch of 2019, the higher-end version of the company’s new Galaxy Note 10 just leaked on video for the first time. Before we get to that, though, the answer is no, we haven’t forgotten about the Galaxy Fold that will finally be released in September. So why did we say this is the “last big flagship smartphone launch of 2019”? Because if you’re smart, you’ll forget that the Galaxy Fold ever existed. Even if Samsung managed to fix everything that was wrong with the phone’s display design, the shoddy work was only part of the Galaxy Fold’s problem. It’s got an awful design with massive bezels and a huge notch bitten out of the corner of the main display, it’s too thick, you can still see the crease at the center of the screen when you use it, the aspect ratio is horrible, and it’s insanely overpriced at $2,000. Samsung is absolutely horrible when it comes to first-generation products, as we’ve explained time and time again. If you want a foldable smartphone, do yourself a favor and wait until the Galaxy Fold 3 or Galaxy Fold 4 is released.

With that out of the way, we can turn our attention back to a Samsung smartphone that is worthy of your interest and of your hard-earned money. Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are finally set to be made official later this week, putting an end to the constant barrage of leaks and rumors we’ve seen for the past few months. We already know practically everything there is to know about the new phones, of course, but there was one more big leak that had to happen before the announcement on Wednesday. That’s right, Samsung fans: A Galaxy Note 10 being used in the wild has finally been captured on video.

$%name Insider says Apple will launch an iPhone with Face ID and Touch ID in 2021 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple shocked some fans in 2017 when it launched the first iPhone without a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. The iPhone X was also the first iPhone ever to feature 3D face recognition technology, a biometric authentication solution that’s far superior to Touch ID. The competition, meanwhile, wasn’t able to copy Apple’s Face ID, and Android device makers went a different route, adopting screen panels with integrated fingerprint sensors. Google just confirmed that its iPhone 11 rival will have its own Face ID alternative this year, suggesting the Pixel 4 would lack an in-display fingerprint sensor. But Apple is already working on combining the two sensors into a single device. An Apple insider who provided several accurate reports about unreleased Apple hardware says the company will have both Touch ID and Face ID on the iPhone come 2021.
