Samsung’s next flagship lineup may be called the “Galaxy S20”

-

We’re less than a week away from 2020, yet we’re already getting to know some of the devices that will be making headlines this upcoming year. One of them is, obviously, from Samsung. We already know a fair bit about Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones, including their screen sizes, overall design, and some camera specs and hardware features as well including 108MP cameras and high refresh rate displays. Samsung’s upcoming flagship lineup is largely expected to launch as the Galaxy S11, Galaxy S11e, and Galaxy S11+, but if two Twitter sources are to believe, this may not be the case at all: we might see a small change in the naming scheme and see them launch as the Galaxy S20.

This possibility was suggested by two separate Twitter sources, leaksters @IceUniverse and @MMDDJ_, who both independently tweeted the purported device’s name (“Galaxy S20” in the case of Ice Universe, while @MMDDJ_ stuck to just “S20”). So if this is to be believed, Samsung’s newest lineup of devices would be called the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20e, and Galaxy S20+. This wouldn’t be out of the ordinary: Huawei also did this last year with the Huawei P20 line (which was expected to launch as the P11) and has stuck to it from then onwards, with their latest device being the Mate 30. Ice Universe also followed up their tweet saying that “next year is 2020, and 20 is a new beginning” as a possible explanation for the name change.

For now, though, you should take this with a grain, or rather a metric ton, of salt, as neither of them provided any sources for their claims. So while Galaxy S20 is a definite possibility, we shouldn’t rule out the Galaxy S11 name just yet, as we’re still at least two months away from an official announcement at Unpacked 2020. It’s very possible that even Samsung itself doesn’t yet know which name to use.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
