Mark your calendars; a new Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is upon us

It seems that Samsung is getting ready to deliver new products, as the company has recently sent the official invitation for the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event.

Samsung will be holding a virtual event on Wednesday, April 28, at 10 am ET, 7 am PT. The event will be live-streamed for anyone interested in watching the presentation of new and products, and you can watch it by following this link.

Now, the invitation has also arrived with a new trailer. This video shows the delivery of a Samsung Galaxy product, but this is no ordinary delivery. We can clearly see the impact and power that follows the path of this new device.

There is no further information as to what we may get during this event. The only thing that’s certain is that the invitation hints at the arrival of the most powerful Galaxy. Still, we’re not really expecting to see the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 to make an appearance during this new event since rumors suggest that they may arrive until July.

This makes more sense when we also remember that we won’t have an Unlocked Event for a new Galaxy Note this year. However, the last part of the video makes me believe that we may be getting closer to the arrival of a new flip phone, but who knows. We will have to wait a couple of weeks before finding out and seeing what Samsung has in store for us.

Pocketnow Daily: Who’s Ready for Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked? (video)

The latest Razer Blade 15, Google Pixel 4 and more devices are on sale today

Deals. Let’s start it off with the Razer Blade 15 which is currently $100 off, leaving the Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD variant for $1900 shipped, and this one actually brings some pretty great graphics. The Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL are still on discount, meaning that the Pixel 4 is available for $749 shipped, and the 4 XL is $830 shipped. Finally, the 46mm Samsung Galaxy Watch is available for $41 off, leaving it at $240. We have more deals on Fossil Smart Watches, Motorola phones and more.

Google finally rolls out Nearby Share wireless file transfer tool for Android phones

We seriously need for Apple’s marketing team to talk to Google’s people. Like can you imaging saying “Hey, Can you Nearby Share this to me?”. And if you don’t know what Nearby Share is, to put it in simple words, it’s AirDrop for Android, that’s literally what it is. Well, Google is finally rolling it out. It’ll be available on all Android phones running Android 6 or later, and actually some Google and Samsung phones already have it as we speak. Once you open a file, you hit the tap button and the Nearby Share will pop up, letting the people close to you get a notification to accept the file. Google also said that it will work with Chromebooks, you know like AirDrop works with Macs.

Galaxy S20 FE leak gives us our first glimpse of Samsung’s next budget flagship

We have some new leaks from Evan Blass, this time for the Galaxy S20 FE. We’re expecting this phone to launch some time in October and, this picture shows the front of the device. Now, you can tell that it kinda looks more like the Galaxy A51 instead of the S20 but it looks like Samsung won’t be cheaping out on internals. Other leaks hint to this phone bringing a 120Hz display, IP68 water and dust resistance and a 4500 mAh running the show. We’ll keep you posted once we get more details on the other internals and, you know leaks about the back of the phone as well.

Here’s your first look at the upcoming HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro flagship

And of course, yesterday we got some CAD renders of the Mate 40 from OnLeaks so naturally, now we have some for the Mate 40 Pro. It brings sort of a similar design to the regular Mate 40 but this one does bring a 6.7in waterfall display with the same dual pill-shaped punch hole we saw yesterday. At the back we have a quad camera array and, this stove looks very similar to the good old Lumia 1020 so, it looks like Huawei is trying to make a statement here. And hey, they actually hired all that team from Nokia so it is a possibility. We can’t really tell what these 4 cameras will do except for the periscope lens on the bottom left. These leaks also mention that this phone will be powered by the Kirin 1020 which will allegedly run on a 5nm process.

Apple gives the iMac a major CPU upgrade, SSDs across the lineup and a better camera

Yes, the leaks were right, Apple just updated their iMacs but not the way you think.. The whole idea of us getting a different design still seem to be in the works. Let’s focus up on the 27in iMac which received the major upgrades. Well, for starters it brings an optional 5K retina display with a new textured glass to reduce glare. The FaceTime camera is finally getting upgraded to 1080p and it uses Apple’s T2 chip for ISP tone mapping, exposure control and more. Moving on to the internals, you can get up to a 10-core, 10th generation Intel Core i9, 128GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD. When it comes to graphics it starts with an AMD Radeon Pro ,5300 with 4GB of VRAM and it goes up to a Radeon Pro 5700 XT with 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Apple also claims that they have improved the mic and the speakers for this one. This new, 27in iMac starts at $1799 and the top of the line, specked out variant will cost you a little over $8000. In addition to that the 21in iMac also got some upgrades but I’m not even gonna mention them.. Like the entry level is a dual-core i5? Like seriously what year is this? The iMac Pro also got a spec bump, and it now comes equipped with a 10-core Intel Xeon as a standard and it’ll go all the way up to an 18-core processor with up to 256GB of quad-channel ECC memory. Shipments for these products will begin later this week.

Story of the day:

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 gets fully leaked one day before its launch

Samsung gives us one more Galaxy Unpacked teaser

We’re as close as it gets to Unpacked so, the hype is at an all time high. So, Samsung just put out a new 30 second teaser. The teaser shows reads different silhouettes of the devices we’re expecting and it reads “Introducing New Powerful Experiences, Inside Galaxy Innovation. Welcome to the Next Normal” It also shows them mounting up a stage so, we don’t exactly know what to expect when it comes to the event format. Moving on to the leaks which are stronger than ever, we have a full blown high resolution gallery of the Z Fold 2 from Evan Blass showing, well everything… So yeah, when compared to the original Fold the design looks pretty slimmer, the camera array looks like the one for the Note 20 which was leaked by, Samsung. And probably the best thing is the outer display looks like what it originally should’ve been with the original Fold.

We start this week with an Apple shopping event and tons of great deals

Deals. Best Buy is currently having an Apple Sale and it’s actually pretty compelling. The only requisite is to be a Best Buy Member which is free and you can get $100 off the iPhone 11, up to $500 off on the XS and the XS Max. $50 off several iPad Models and up to $300 off for the MacBook Pro. The first link in the deals will take you straight to the sale. Amazon and B&H are actually matching some of these deals like in the case of the MacBook Pro which is $300 off, leaving it at $2499 for the 16in variant. The Galaxy A51 is $50 off, leaving that at $280 shipped and, we have more deals on Beats headphones, Mobvoi watches and more in the links in the description.

Google is toying with the idea of a dual-screen Chromebook

We know that Google rarely, and I mean rarely, experiment with Chromebooks but, there’s a possibility that, that might change. According to 9to5Google, new code submissions show that Google might be working on a dual-screen Chromebook. The device is codenamed “Palkia” and the code clearly mentions a second touchscreen on the device. The code also mentions tablet mode so, we aren’t sure if this will be a clamshell form factor with two inner displays kind of like what we get from ASUS, or a flat out foldable with a touchscreen on the inside and one on the outside. However, a developer’s comment suggests that this device is not an OEM device and is only a prototype, so it looks like Google is testing the waters here.

It seems that Apple could be ‘ready to ship’ a new iMac refresh

We have a new vague leak from Twitter for upcoming Apple products. According to the tipster, products are ready to ship, the problem is, he didn’t specify which products. Some of the strong candidates include that re-designed iMac with the new bezels, as Ming Chi Kuo also predicted that Apple would refresh the Intel-based iMac in Q3. We’re also expecting those AirPods Studio, which were supposed to come at WWDC but, we didn’t get any hardware. Another candidate is the AirTags which were leaked by Apple back in April and are designed to compete with Tiles. We could also be getting a new iPad or a new Apple TV but, all we know as of right now is that they’re ready to ship. So yeah Tipster.. How about you be more specific next time.

The 2020 iPhone SE has boosted iPhone sales, and helped users upgrade

It looks like Apple’s plan with the iPhone SE is working. The CIRP just released the numbers for this last quarter and, the iPhone 11 and the Pros still take about 65% of purchases, but the iPhone SE did make a dent. It covered about 19% of sales this past quarter meaning, people are still more likely to go for the newer, higher-specked iPhones but, it is taking sales from the older models. By comparison, last year the XS/XS Max and Xr took the same 65% but, the iPhone 8 and 7 took the rest of the sales, with no iPhone SE to take that extra 19%. According to CIRP’s data, a user with a phone that’s over three years old has a 73% likelihood to upgrade to the SE so, it looks like Apple’s strategy is working just fine.

Here’s your first official look at the upcoming OnePlus Buds in all three colors

OnePlus Nord will feature a 90Hz display and a generous 12GB of RAM

And, we’ve gotten a ton of official leaks from OnePlus, including the Buds. Now, Evan Blass and 9to5Google have recovered some pictures of the Buds from the latest Oxygen OS update. We get to see the Buds in their three different color variants, Black, White and of course, Dave2D teal. The pictures show off the case from the front and back, and we get to see the Buds from behind. We’re able to see the touch controls and, the only time we’ve seen the front is from Evan’s leaks but, they look kinda weird. Moving back to official territory, OnePlus teased that these will bring Noise Cancellation for calls and ta new teaser on Instagram hints to the price tag being lower than $100. They also confirmed that the Nord will bring a 90Hz display. We’ll keep you posted as, the event is tomorrow.

Story of the day:

This leaked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 render is almost too good to be true

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 leaked hands-on video reveals key camera features

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 confirmed to debut alongside Galaxy Note 20 on August 5

Second display on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will include an essential feature

We have a lot of leaks for Unpacked today so, let’s start with the Z Fold 2. Samsung UK pretty much confirmed that we will be getting this phone at Unpacked with a new teaser that says, “A new look Unfolds“. After that, Ice Universe posted a very blurry press render of the device. It shows off the new camera array which looks pretty similar to the Note, it shows the USB-C port and the speaker grill and, we can’t really see anything else from this image. According to a new Max Weinbach tweet, the Z Fold 2 will be able to use the new 6.23-inch outer display as a viewfinder, so you’ll be able to take selfies with the primary camera, instead of having to use the selfie shooter. And on that Note, pun intended, seems we also have some new leaked camera features. It looks like Pro Video will now allow you to select which microphone you want to use,.. I know, something LG came up with a while ago, but this one is even allowing form Bluetooth or USB, adding more flexibility for streamers or vloggers. It will also be able to record video in 21:9 at up to 8K. Finally, they will also be adding 50x to this phone and to the S20 Ultra as it currently just jumps from 30x to 100x.

The latest Mac mini, and more Apple products are on sale today

Deals. You saw the title so, let’s begin with some Galaxy Note deals. The Note 10+ is currently $150 off on Amazon, leaving the 256GB of storage variant for $950 shipped. The S20 5G which we didn’t exactly mention yesterday is also $150 off, leaving it at $850 shipped. Moving on, the latest Mac Mini is getting that same $150 discount, meaning you can get the Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage one for $950. We also have more deals on AirPods, 4K TVs and more in the links in the description.

Microsoft schedules an Xbox Games Showcase event on July 23

You could get your new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 on August 21

Microsoft just sent out some press invitations for their new Xbox Showcase Event which will happen on July 23rd at 9AM PST. You’ll be able to watch it on YouTube, Twitch and the official Xbox social media handles. We’re expecting to see some exclusive titles like Halo Infinite, Gears of War, Hellblade 2 and more. At Sony’s Game Showcase Event we got to see the PS5’s design for the first time so we do hope that Microsoft has something nice prepared for this event as well and a couple of weeks ago we heard some leaks about a more affordable Xbox Series S so we hope that happens at this event.

New AirPods 3 would include System-in-Package technology

We’re expecting some new entry level AirPods for next year and, according to the latest research note from Ming Chi Kuo, we’re due for a design refresh. According to Kuo, the new AirPods will adopt a similar System-In-Package to the AirPods Pro to integrate the audio features into a smaller casing as, we know that the Pros bring smaller stems. These AirPods 3 are supposed to arrive in the first half of 2021 and that the current AirPods will be discontinued. This also means that the AirPods Pro should see components shipments grow from 50 to 100% due to the demand.

This alleged iPhone 12 box insert could confirm, no EarPods or power adapter

Speaking of Apple, let’s talk about the iPhone 12’s box… yeah the box. We have a new render that allegedly comes from a reliable source of the new box, and from the image we can tell that it’ll only bring two slots, one for the USB-C to Lightning Cable and the other one for the paperwork including the stickers that come with. We assume the second one is for paperwork because, it’s way too thin for the EarPods and for the charging brick. It also has a slim cutout at the top were we think the iPhone 12 will sit. Of course this isn’t official yet but, everything points to Apple making this move.

OnePlus Nord packs four rear cameras with a 48MP main snapper

OnePlus Nord is launching in India on July 21

We have some new leaks for the OnePlus Nord as well as an official announcement. Recently Carl Pei confirmed that we would be getting OIS on the Nord’s camera and now we have more details on the actual array. According to a new Android Central report, the Nord will bring a quad-camera array that consists of a 48MP main camera, an 8MP wide angle, a 5MP macro and a 2MP portrait lens. The dual selfie camera will also bring a 32MP shooter according to the previous leaks. Now, on the official announcement, OnePlus just revealed that the event will be happening on July 21st, kicking off at 7:30PM, Indian time. To watch the event you have to download a certain application which we have more details of in the links in the description, or you can tune in via the OnePlus Nord Instagram account. You can pre-order the phone in India starting July 15th on Amazon for Rs. 499, if you buy it before August 31st, it comes with a gift box.

Story of the day:

Here’s your first real-life look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, and it’s gorgeous

Here’s the first look at Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s display

We have an official date for the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event

And finally the hottest news today is that well, today seems to be official event confirmation day. First Microsoft, the OnePlus, now Samsung. The new Galaxy Unpacked was just made official for August 5th at 10AM Eastern Time, we’ll obviously have some live coverage and a dedicated Daily so make sure you subscribe. Thing is the image only reveals that special new copper color we saw leaked by none other than you know who. And speaking of leaks, the Note 20 just went through a 3C certification so we have some IRL images of it from a tipster on Twitter. These images are of the black color variant and we get to see the new triple camera array which still includes the periscope lens. We also get to see the S Pen which doesn’t look like it has changed much from the Note 10. Some users on Twitter claimed that these were dummies but according to another tipster, this is a fully working unit and we can confirm as the tipster also shared images of the display. These show off the tiny bezels, the centered punch hole and we’re assuming that this is the Note 20 Ultra or Plus because it brings a curved display instead of the flat we’re expecting for the regular Note 20.

Many things have been said about the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. We expect to see the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 or the Galaxy Z Fold two and several other products.

We finally have an official date for the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. The Korean tech giant will hold a virtual event on Wednesday, August 5, 2020, at 10 a.m. ET. This means that we are less than a month away from the possible launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and more.

If you want to take a look at the design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20, take a look at these images leaked by Samsung Russia. While you’re at it, you may also want to start looking for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 deals, as these devices will most likely start getting discounts.
