Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ promotional materials surface

-


The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are undoubtedly the most leaked flagship devices in recent history. And the leaks aren't stopping. Over the weekend new press renders for the duo surfaced alongside pricing information, and today Samsung itself decided to make the Bixby virtual assistant official - even if we're still nine days away from the big S8 unveiling event.



This time around we're showing you some leaked promotional materials for the two handsets. As you can see, nothing depicted in these images is really new or surprising, given how many times we've already glanced at the S8 and S8+.



The minimal bezels are there, along with the rounded screen corners, curved edges, additional button on the left side for Bixby, as well as the big camera and sensor array on the top (since the S8 and S8+ will have an iris scanner like the ill-fated Galaxy Note7).



The things you'd expect to be missing from the front of the devices based on previous leaks are all, well, still missing - the physical Home button, the capacitive Back and Recents buttons, and the Samsung logo.



The Galaxy S8 will have a 5.8-inch touchscreen, while the S8+ will come with a 6.2-inch panel, both Super AMOLED and sporting an odd 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 will power the phones (which you get depends on market), and we're expecting to see a 12 MP main camera with insanely high-fps video capture on the back next to the new location of the fingerprint scanner. The smaller model is to have a 3,000 mAh battery, while the larger S8+ will boast a 3,500 mAh cell. 64GB of storage should come as standard, along with a USB Type-C port in each device. The handsets will run Android Nougat.

Thanks for the tip, Mikke!

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
