Samsung is preparing to launch a 5G version of the Galaxy A51

-

Earlier this year in January, a report from Sammobile revealed that Samsung was working on a 5G variant of the Galaxy A51. The report cited sources familiar with the matter who revealed that a device with model number SM-A515F and 128GB of base storage was in the works. Since the regular Galaxy A51, which was launched late last year in December, sported the model number SM-A515F we had reason to believe that the aforementioned device could be the 5G-enabled Korean variant.

Earlier this month, our Editor-in-Chief Mishaal Rahman also found evidence that corroborated the report. Most recently, a Samsung Korea support page for the device with model name SM_A516N popped up, which is believed to be the Galaxy A51 5G. Adding substance to the rumors, renowned leakster Evan Blass (@evleaks) has now shared a press render of the Galaxy A51 5G on his Patreon page. The renders reveal that the phone looks identical to the standard Galaxy A51, with no noticeable changes on the outside. The device features the same display with a center-aligned hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera and a quad-camera setup on the back.

On the inside, however, it will most likely feature Samsung’s Exynos 980 SoC which features a 5G modem. It’s also worth noting that Samsung is reportedly working on a 5G variant of the Galaxy A71 as well, which was recently certified by the Bluetooth SIG and goes by the model number SM-A7160. While Samsung hasn’t released any information about that device either, we expect it to feature the same Exynos 980 chip.

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...
