Galaxy S10 has a dear secret
Are you ready to pay more than $ 1,000 for Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus flagship when it goes on sale next month? Samsung's key handsets go hand in hand with the Apple iPhone family … and Apple is already experiencing the effects of its expensive, high-margin strategy. & Nbsp;Gordon Kelly of Forbes reports:
While Samsung is taking significant risks with its controversially revamped Galaxy S10 range, which dates back 10 years (including the most exciting), you may be surprised to learn how much you will have to pay to buy one.
In a new report, 91mobiles, the popular (and still accurate) Indian website, reveals that Samsung will raise the prices of Galaxy S10 models to a point that they are getting closer to Apple's premium iPhones.
A final swing to a Galaxy S10 specification leak
This is not the only new detail of the S10 family that we have. During the last week preceding the Unpacked event (Wednesday, Feb. 20), the GSM Arena team picked up what appears to be the full specs of the new handsets, & nbsp;with a number of new details noted:
Most of the time, the specs are a reflection of the rumor that has been circulating for a while, but there are some interesting elements, such as the promised brightness of 800 nits of screen brightness. Until now, we have not tested a flagship Galaxy product with over 700 nits in our office.
The size of the Galaxy S10 + screen is another departure from what we have heard. The insider's fact sheet claims a diagonal of 6.3 inches at a resolution of 3040x1440px, while rumors say a 6.4-inch screen.

Galaxy S10 Release Date
If you want to use one of the three Galaxy S10 handsets, the date to mark in your calendar looks like March 8th. This is the date indicated by Samsung US on its booking page. This calendar fits into the historical pattern of a booking window of about two weeks opening shortly after the launch of a new Galaxy S device. Gordon Kelly's Reports:
Following this, Samsung US has given up any semblance of surprise by opening the Galaxy S10 reservation page under the title: "We know you know what will happen soon" with an accompanying video. Subtle.
Samsung also explained the benefits of an early booking, promising deliveries before March 8 ("while supplies last"), a $ 50 credit for accessories and a $ 550 rebate for Eligible devices – iPhone 8 and up, Pixel 3, LG V40, Galaxy S9 and Note9 all give you that number.
Nokia 9 details leaked via Google
Before the presumed announcement of the Mobile World Congress, more details on HMD Global's flagship product Nokia 9 handsets – which should be delivered with a Penta-objective camera – were accidentally filtered by one of Google's Android Android sites. & Nbsp;Tom Bedford reports:
The Nokia 9 device was briefly listed on the site recommended by Google's company, which recommends products to companies, as well as many specifications and features for this device. The information was only available on the mobile site and was quickly removed, but it still provides us with a reliable source of information.
According to the list, the device will have a screen size of 6 inches, 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage space. A feature listed as a Zero Key appears on the leak, and although we do not know what it will offer, it is listed next to a fingerprint reader that we can resolve.
The elected OnePlus 5G at MWC
This week saw OnePlus show his hand on Mobile World Congress through a mysterious invitation. Although the Shenzhen-based company is not present at the show, the first OnePlus 5G handset will be on the Qualcomm booth, as I noted it here:
The confirmation comes from recent statements by OnePlus to the press. "OnePlus, at Qualcomm booth (Hall 3, booth # 3E10), invites all attendees to connect and communicate with our community via a 5G network, and participants will be able to experience the capabilities of the 5G game on a OnePlus 5G prototype."
The 5G handset will stand out from the regular OnePlus release cycle – the OnePlus 7 is expected to be announced at the end of the second quarter of this year – although no one knows it will be a whole thing. new design, a modification of the OnePlus 6T or a modification. to the OnePlus shell 7.
Some thoughts on the Xiaomi folding phone
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has already teased its foldable phone mechanism, with two "wings" on each side of the main body allowing a portrait smartphone and a larger tablet screen as needed. Following this video, & nbsp;Ilse Jurrien& nbsp; took a closer look at the design:
The smartphone folds to form a thin tablet with very thin edges. You can fold both sides of the screen towards the back. The screen closes seamlessly, exactly in the center, at the back of the device. This is a very elegant design. Once folded, you have a relatively compact phone. The smartphone is also remarkably thin. The on / off button is located at the top of the device, while the bottom offers room for a Type C USB connection.
… The company will use its own MIUI interface, which will be customized for the foldable screen. There seems to be a remarkable amount of space between the icons, as shown in the promotional video. In addition, Xiaomi's video shows that the interface can rotate. So, once the device is deployed, you can use the extended tablet with one hand. The fold lines of the screen will be on the side and not on the top and bottom.
And finally…
What do you do if your operating system has judged the workstation but lost sight of mobile issues? For Microsoft The solution is to work hard on the software layer above the operating system, providing useful services, software and cloud computing. And the Microsoft Launcher is linked. & Nbsp;I took another look at the strategy this week:
For the most part, you can choose any Android smartphone, go to the Google Play Store to download Microsoft Launcher, restore your settings and your smartphone looks exactly like the previous one. It does not matter whether you're switching from a Galaxy S10 to a Xiaomi, from a Blackberry to a Nokia, from a Motorola to a Huawei, or vice versa, the operating system itself Is dimmed in your personal environment and Microsoft groups all applications and online services. services.
What is important for Microsoft is a simple way for a user to access services such as Cortana for searches, Microsoft News for customization, as well as your inbox and e-mail address if you want. Add Microsoft's "Your Phone" application to bring shared features between your smartphone and your desktop computer (powered by Windows 10). The advantages of a "platform" are at the rendezvous.
