Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ launch with Infinity Display, Android Oreo

-

Today Samsung has decided to unveil the Galaxy A6 and A6+. The mid-range duo brings the company's signature bezel-starved Super AMOLED Infinity Display to a whole new price point, along with its 18.5:9 aspect ratio.



The Galaxy A6's display measures 5.6" diagonally, and has 720x1,480 resolution. The phone has a 16 MP f/1.7 rear shooter and a 16 MP f/1.9 selfie snapper with an LED flash of its own. The handset is powered by an octa-core 1.6 GHz CPU, aided by 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage, depending on which exact model you buy. In any case note that the device supports microSD expansion, with cards up to 256GB in size.


The A6 has a 3,000 mAh battery and its dimensions are 149.9 x 70.8 x 7.7 mm. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo, as does the A6+.

The bigger member of the family boasts a 6-inch screen with 1,080x2,220 resolution, and a dual rear camera setup, with one 16 MP f/1.7 sensor and one 5 MP f/1.9 unit. Selfies are taken care of by a 24 MP f/1.9 camera, also with an LED flash. The A6+ gets a slightly beefier 1.8 GHz octa-core processor, and the exact same RAM/storage versions as its smaller sibling.



The battery capacity grows to 3,500 mAh, while the A6+'s dimensions are 160.2 x 75.7 x 7.9 mm. Both phones support LTE Cat.6 with 2CA, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC (though not in all markets), GPS, Glonass, and BeiDou.

The A6 and A6+ will be available in black, gold, blue, and Lavender. The A6+'s dual camera enables bokeh effects before or even after the shot is taken, with unique background blur patterns including a range of shapes such as hearts and stars.

The devices have Dolby Atmos optimized sound (on headphones only), Bixby Vision, Bixby Home, Bixby Reminder, and Samsung Pay support. They will be released in early May in select markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. At a later point they will also arrive in South Korea, Africa, and China.

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.

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
