Looking into seven days of news and headlines around the world of Android, this week's Android circuit includes new details disclosed on the Galaxy S10, the release date and images rendered from Galaxy smartphone folding, allusions to the new OnePlus 5G handset, the OnePlus 6T against the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro, a review of the Nokia 7.1 and what happens in Google Maps.
Android Circuit is here to remind you of some of the many things that have happened around Android over the past week (and here you will find the Apple News weekly summary here).

Galaxy S10 will have a unique hack
Samsung will finally bend to the pressure of the sector and adopt a screen or the Galaxy S10. Unlike other design teams, Samsung's designers opt for a circular cut rather than a tongue-like notch at the top of the screen. Gordon Kelly reports:
The Galaxy S10 will have a notch, and it will be a notch like no other: in the corner. Evan Blass (aka @evleaks), who fled to the press last week, announced this week its new polarization in the press last week.
In a pair of tweets (1, 2), Blass claims that the Galaxy S10 will have a "perforated hole" cutout in the screen, based on Samsung's new Infinity-O display. In addition, Blass indicates that the size of the cutout is such that it can not be hidden in the notification bar and it should be noted that the Infinity-O display must position the cutout in the upper left corner of the display. screen.

Has the release date of the Galaxy F leaked?
Further details on the Samsung Galaxy F smartphone were reported following its partial revelation at the South Korean company's developer conference in San Francisco. Samsung Mobile CEO, DJ Koh, has announced a production of one million copies for worldwide sale. Analysts expect it to begin in March … just after the launch of the aforementioned Galaxy S10:
Although this version of March seems to conflict with the launch of the Galaxy S10's flagship product (which many expect to see in February 2019, a little faster than the 2018 calendar), the Galaxy F is expected to end by a substantial premium with a selling price of $ 1,700 outside the realm. of possibility. This is ridiculously expensive for an ordinary smartphone (although you can choose some variants of the iPhone XS Max in the range of € 1,500), but the Galaxy F will not be an ordinary smartphone.
It's a strange mix of technology demonstrator, state-of-the-art features and statement of intent.
More details on the new folding format here.
That's the galaxy f
Samsung Mobile's CEO, DJ Koh, may have only flipped the screen, but this view of the collapsible Galaxy F, along with other details and patents announced, is enough to create a digital rendering of the radical device. Ilse Jurrien discusses new renderings:
Samsung has already revealed that the foldable smartphone would have two screens, which are much thinner than before. On the front, the phone has a 4.6-inch screen with a resolution of 840 × 1960 pixels. If you open the phone, a flexible 7.3-inch AMOLED screen with QXGA + resolution (1536 × 2152 pixels) opens.
Unfolded, the phone takes a real tablet function thanks to its large flexible screen. Three active applications can be run side-by-side without any problem. The cover window, placed above the screen, will not be glass, but transparent plastic.

Does OnePlus prepare three handsets for 2019?
OnePlus will work with Qualcomm to launch a 5G smartphone next year. Given the regular schedule of the latest versions of OnePlus (the OnePlus 3, 3T, 5T, 5T, 6 and 6T appearing every six months), it was expected that the 5G device is the OnePlus 7, expected in may June. 2019. But OnePlus said the next flagship smartphone would not have 5G. What is going on? Chris Smith examines the evidence of another OnePlus device early next year:
Honestly, we did not expect to see a OnePlus 7 in stores in early 2019, since the OnePlus 6T has just been launched. This phone should fall sometime in May or June. The first OnePlus 5G phone, meanwhile, will be completely different and will carry a different brand. A spokesman for OnePlus told CNET Spain that the next flagship product, the successor to the OnePlus 6T, will not have 5G connectivity.
The OnePlus 5G phone will be part of a new range of devices designed to complement the current portfolio. This is certainly an interesting approach for one of the most interesting Android software companies. The OnePlus 5G phone will be launched in early 2019, the phone could be unveiled at the CMM end of February, but this is pure speculation.

Xiaomi OnePlus fight: Mi 8 Pro vs 6T
Although she holds a prominent place in China and India, Xiaomi is unquestionably the "young beginner" of the United Kingdom and OnePlus will be one of the "old statesmen". The recently launched OnePlus 6T will be one of the targets that the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro will seek to beat in the market. Andrew Hayward compares the two handsets:
Both of these phones are inspired by the Apple iPhone X, but the Mi 8 Pro does it much more directly. With a notch of similar size, it reproduces this familiar all-screen design … but with a "chin" quite imposing down.
On the other hand, the OnePlus 6T has a much smaller water drop-shaped notch on the top because it does not have additional sensors for 3D face scanning. It looks better, and the chin below is also smaller.
Flip these phones and Xiaomi has the most distinctive support: the transparent design is really unique in the space of smartphones, allowing you to take a look at some internal equipment while waving your handset. The support of the OnePlus 6T is much more ordinary.

Nokia 7.1 exam
Priced at $ 349, HMD Global's Nokia 7.1 Handset is a powerful midrange handset that combines the stability of Android One with an aluminum frame and front and rear glass. Ryan Whitwam takes a closer look at the Nokia 7.1, starting with the inclusion of a notch screen … and a chin:
It will not take long for you to find that the Nokia 7.1 has fully adopted the notch. It's the same shape as the Pixel 3 XL but much more compact. There is a small headset (this is not a speaker) in the middle, flanked by a sensor window and a camera facing the front. The cutout corresponds to a status bar, so the phone's interface does not look strange or disproportionate compared to any other 2018 smartphone. The radius of the rounded corners and the bezel phone are about symmetrical at the top. It's at least pretty close so that I do not find it disturbing visually.
The most striking example of why this is still a mid-range phone is at the bottom of the 7.1. Despite the space-saving notch design in the top, the bottom has a rather wide chin. Nokia was also good enough to put a logo on the chin, so thanks for that.
More to the Android Police Review.
And finally…
Google Maps now allows you to speak directly to a company listed in the navigation application. It's a good idea, and its implementation is strong, but it raises a bigger problem: why are so many features added to Google Maps? Does it become difficult to handle? Dieter Hohn explores the katamari that is Google Maps:
… What's happening with Google Maps? Features and changes to system design are becoming more and more cumbersome. It's getting harder and harder to get instructions. There is group planning, there is a social button "follow" for local businesses, you can share your ETA, there is a redraw "Explorer" section, and there is almost no way to Get the damn thing to show you a cross street near your destination without a full three minutes of desperate pinch and zoom and re-zoom.
That's what I mean. This is the equivalent of Google's Big Blue, because Facebook is nicknamed its flagship application that does a thousand things across countless strange nooks. It's as if Google wanted to kill Yelp once and for all, but did not let anyone realize how difficult it was to try to do it, so it just slowed things down in Google Maps.
