Samsung delivers new LTE modem with a maximum speed of 1.2 Gbps

Image
Back in March Samsung introduced its new chipset the Exynos 8895. It was an answer to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 that was the first to support 1 Gbps speeds. Now Samsung improved the modem of the 8895, and it comes with Cat.18 6CA (Carrier aggregation) technology for up to 1.2 Gbps downlink speeds. The Korean manufacturer said it worked closely with Anritsu, a Japanese telecommunication measuring instrument provider, to achieve the impressive results. This is 20% improvement in download speeds that in theory would allow you to download an HD movie in 10 seconds.

New Samsung Galaxy S8 Active render leaks

Image
We've already had a couple of massive leaks related to the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, revealing its design as well as key specifications. And now, a new, high-resolution render has surfaced, offering us a more closer look. Given that this new leak comes courtesy of the usually reliable leakster Evan Blass (a.k.a @evleaks), there's little doubt about its authenticity. Plus, the design revealed here is pretty-much inline with what we've already seen.   Needless to say, the handset will be an AT&T-exclusive in the US. There's, however, currently no information on the phone's availability as well as pricing. Source: gsmarena Source Follow us on Twitter Like our page on Facebook

Samsung launched the impressive-looking Galaxy S8 in March, but its pink variant took until June to arrive. The Rose Pink option was announced in Taiwan and now it's starting to expand to other markets as it's hitting Mexico. The Rose Pink Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will be available for pre-order from August 10 and will start shipping on August 16. Samsung partnered with case manufacturer Montblanc to offer pink cases for customers who pre-order online through Telcel or AT&T. The pink case could be purchased only by customers who choose the Rose Pink variant from any of the authorized stores. Pricing of the Rose Pink Galaxy S8/Galaxy S8+ is the same as the other color variant - MXN17,299 or around $980 for the smaller flagship. Its unclear when other markets are getting the new color, but it can't be long now. Source: gsmarena Via (in Spanish) Follow us on Twitter Like our page on Facebook
