What We Can Expect for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8

Samsung has been trying to clean up its Galaxy Note 7 mess and is reportedly planning big upgrades for next year. The Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 expected in 2017 could rock foldable displays and more hefty changes to stand out from the crowd. So what else we can expect for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8?

1. Flexible Displays

Based on the latest rumors, Samsung is planning a “two-track strategy” for its 2017 flagships, experimenting with two-screen and bendable display models.
According to the publication, Samsung will likely release the dual-screen model first and assess market reactions, then release the foldable screen model. The report further details that one model will have a rectangular design and feature a flexible, foldable OLED display, while the second model will look more like a tablet that can bend in half at the middle and deliver a phone-like experience, with screens on both its front and back.

2. No Physical Home Button

Earlier rumors have indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S8 home button will be virtual rather than physical, allowing for a nearly bezel-less, all-screen smartphone. Samsung is expected to ditch the physical home button for the Galaxy Note 8 as well, similarly replacing it with a touch-sensitive virtual button.

3. Dual Cameras, Snapdragon 835 Processors

When it comes to dual-lens cameras for the next-generation Samsung Galaxy flagships, reports have been contradictory so far. While some expect both the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 to sport dual rear cameras, others report that Samsung has abandoned such plans because it would lead to far higher manufacturing costs. On this note, it remains to be seen whether dual cameras will grace either flagship.
In terms of processing power, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 are both expected to rock the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with a minimum 4 GB of RAM, potentially with higher-end 6 GB of RAM versions as well.
Samsung typically releases two versions of its flagships, one powered by Qualcomm processors and the other packed with in-house Exynos chips. In 2017, the Qualcomm versions of the smartphones will pack the Snapdragon 835, while the others should feature Exynos 8895 processors.

5. No Headphone Jack

Recent rumors also indicate that Samsung might pull a page out of Apple’s playbook and remove the headphone jack from its upcoming flagships, just like Apple did with its iPhone 7 line. If this holds true, Samsung will likely rely on USB Type-C technology for audio playback on its Galaxy S8 and Note 8.

6. 4K Display Smartphone

Samsung might also introduce 4K resolution displays with either the Galaxy S8 or the Galaxy Note 8 next year, which would grant it a notable edge against rivals that are still at 2K (QHD) or lower resolutions.
On the other hand, some have argued that even 2K is a bit of an overkill for a smartphone screen and it would drain the battery too quickly. Sony already unveiled a 4K smartphone last year with its Xperia Z5 Premium, but the handset still shows most content in 1080p to preserve battery life.

7. AI Assistant

Samsung is reportedly planning to roll out its own artificial intelligence-powered assistant as well, likely aiming to compete against Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. The Samsung Galaxy S8 could have a dedicated AI button on the side of the handset, allowing users to quickly summon the assistant. The dedicated button is reportedly in testing, so it might not make it to the final design.

Samsung Expected to Launch Galaxy S8 in New York in April

According to the latest reports from South Korea, Samsung is expected to hold the Galaxy S8 event in New York next April. The launch has been delayed reportedly/ Samsung has reported delayed the launch of its next-generation flagship to earn more time for regaining the trust of its fans from the ill-fated Note 7.

Traditionally, the launch of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S Series would be at Mobile World Congress in late February, but this generation’s S phone means a lot more to Samsung and its fans than the previous generations do.

It doesn’t only have to be the best seller, the new Galaxy S8 need to rebuild the confidence of customers in Samsung, to let people know that the company is still able to make powerful and reliable smartphones that don’t have the major design flaws.

According to Naver, Samsung is in “consultation with external agencies” and planning to regain consumer confidence before the Galaxy S8’s arrival. And in order to make sure that there’s enough time to do that, the launch of Galaxy S8 has been postponed, the report claims.

Samsung is said to have said at its global strategy meeting in South Korea this week that the Galaxy S8 will have its dedicated launch even in New York in April. This further confirms previous reports claiming the delay of the launch of Samsung’s next generation flagship.

Samsung hasn’t confirmed any of this yet. Whether the launch will delay to April or not is still speculation for now. But the announcement of the S8 at Mobile World Congress is still unlikely.

One thing we learn from the Note 7 is that always back up your phone because you never know if your phone is going to blow up at some point in the future. This can apply to not only phones from Samsung, other phones blowing up is not something we haven’t heard of.

iOS 10.2 Released for All iOS 10 Compatible Devices

iOS 10.2 is for all iOS 10 compatible devices, which means the iPhone 5 or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini 2 or later, iPad Pro range and the 6th generation iPod touch or later. Updating iOS 10.2 is simple. Upgrade prompts should be received automatically, but if you haven’t received a prompt yet it can be triggered manually by going to Settings > General > Software Update. However, the update doesn’t bring the crucial fixes many users crave and instead carries something else you might not have been expecting.

iOS 10.2 brings no fixes for the ” 30% bug” issue for batteries. Though it has widened the range of affected 6S model numbers entitled to free battery replacements), Apple continues to deny any model other than the iPhone 6S is affected.

iOS 10.2, as the version number implies, is a fairly substantial update from Apple. The big additions are the release of ‘TV’ and 100s of new emoji.

TV has replaced the ‘Videos’ app on iOS since day one. As the name implies, it brings tighter integration of movies and TVs you have rented or purchased and integrates with iTunes and third party apps making it something of a media hub. But with both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video snubbing integration it has substantial gaps, for now.

Over 100 new emoji including new faces, food, animals, sports, and professions (and a pop superstar secret) and all existing emoji have been redesigned. They’re a little too detailed for my liking now, but that’s purely personal preference.

iOS 10.2 improved stabilisation and faster frame rates for Live Photos, improved facial recognition for more accurate searching by person in the People album and additional support for RAW digital cameras.

new Love and Celebration full screen effects were added to Messages.

For Music, people now can swipe up the Now Playing screen to more easily access Shuffle, Repeat and Up Next and the added ability to choose how to sort Playlists, Albums and Songs in Library

A new ‘Saved’ section for, well, stories you’ve saved – making this a Pocket/Instapaper rival, a ‘For You’ section also shows paid stories from your subscription channels and you can now swipe left to go to the next story when reading.

HomeKit – accessories finally receive notification support which is big news in particular for IoT devices like smoke alarms

iOS 10.2 also provides fixes for bugs in Messages, Photos, Music, Camera, Mail, Siri, FaceTime, Safari and VoiceOver. There are also several security fixes including exploits in memory, graphics drivers and user profiles.

iOS 10.2 is now available for downloading. Before updating to the newest iOS version, please keep in mind that you need to backup your iPhone with iTunes/iCloud first for safeguard.

Google Drive can now back up iPhones and makes Android switching easier

Google has just updated its website with the guidance for iPhone users to make the switch from iPhone to Android. But the point here is Google adding a new feature to its iOS version Google Drive: the ability to back up data on your iOS device like contacts, calendar, and camera roll and save it in the cloud. With this neat little feature added, you can have all your stuff prepared in Google’s various apps when you want to make the switch from iPhone to Android devices like the Pixel. Data backup is being done automatically, as opposed to the old days when all those data have to be uploaded from several different apps.

This new data backup option can be found in the settings menu under “backup”. And you’d expect the backup process to be fast and efficient, but in actuality, if you’ve got a lot of stuff on your iPhone, it’s probably going to take a while. Google says that it can take several hours in some cases, so you’d better have your iPhone plugged in and keep it charged and connected to stable Wi-Fi network before you start the process. Also the app have to stay open and on screen during the process.

This is basically Google’s attempt to make it easier for iOS users to switch to Android. But that’s not what Google Drive is all about, it can do a lot of other great stuff, this new backup feature is more like a bonus from the already awesome program. Unfortunately, you can’t have your texts or music library backup with Google Drive. For that you’ll have to do some extra work, like plugging your iPhone directly into the Pixel or other android phones for data transfer. The Google Drive update doesn’t seem to be available just yet but it should be coming pretty soon.

Switching from one operating system to another could be painful, which is why a lot of people keep buying phones of the same brand. And even switching to phones under the same brand could be troublesome. Leawo iOS Data Recovery, a program that can back up and recover data types like contacts, messages, call history, notes, calendars and reminder between iOS devices, making phone switching a more pleasant experience.
