The sensor will likely be built into the front display as they wanted to do with the s8, just couldn't figure it out in time. But I have my doubts that it's a note prototype because looking at the front and back view, I see no stylus. Dual camera would be nice though :good:

Would be sweet if they get that working

This is just a prototype of the galaxy S8 with dual cameras, it was leaked long ago.

^^^^^^
This. And the other leak of a supposed Note8 was false because the S Pen accompanying it was too long and thick to fit in what would be the size of the silo of the phone shown. Pure guess but the "upgrade" for the Note8 will most likely be 4K display, dual camera, 6GB of RAM, display-embedded touch sensor, and a return to 16:9 to accommodate the S Pen silo. Oh, and working Bixby.

Note 8 video sounds/seems potentially pretty awesome! here

Samsung Announces Galaxy Tab 8.9&10.1; Revised edition is smaller than iPad2

Last month at Mobile World Congress Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 10.1, a NVIDIA Tegra 2 based Honeycomb tablet. Since then, Apple's iPad 2 raised the bar for ergonomics and performance. Not wanting to be outdone, Samsung just announced a redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1 that's both thinner and lighter than Apple's iPad 2.
The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 measures only 8.6mm thick and weighs 595 grams. The iPad 2 by comparison is 8.8mm thick and weighs 601 grams. The display is a Xoom-like 1280x800 using Samsung's PLS display technology.

I've seen no mention of it for either one.
And apparently there'll be an iPad-esque adapter for USB host capabilities.
It's a bit disappointing that they don't just put the proper ports on the tablet itself.
Plus, why limit us to microSD cards?
When you're getting up to these sorts of size, I'm sure manufacturers could stretch to a full SDHC slot.
Its great man tablet with gps.
If I had an extra 500 dollars to spend, I would seriously get one of these.

Leaked Picture of Samsung Galaxy S3 Shows 4.7in Screen

Well I don't think David Bailey's got much to worry about. This blurry pic was sent to Know Your Mobile, and the tipster claims it's the Samsung Galaxy S3. They also claim the handset will feature a 4.8-inch screen. It's pretty hard to tell, with a picture of this quality, but let's look at the evidence.
The source says there are no hardware buttons on the device, though the same source previously sent the same site a pic showing buttons apparently Photoshopped in. The screen size claims are also dubious. The source says it measures up at 4.8-inches, but over at Pocketnow they've gone all mathematical on us: busting out Pythagoras' theorem, they calculate the screen measures 4.74-inches. Previous claims peg the screen at anywhere between 4.65-and 4.8-inches. So while this could be the genuine article, it's far from conclusive.
Not long to wait now until we know for sure. Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S3 on Wednesday evening at an event in London. Recently the manual leaked -- if that was genuine, we're looking at a 4.8-inch screen and 8-megapixel camera. Though then yesterday a version of the same handset but running Windows Phone 8 was touted, and the source there claimed the S3 will have a 4.7-inch screen and 12-megapixel snapper. So it's anyone's guess really.
As I say, not long to wait now. It should be a top handset, following up on the S2, one of the best phones of last year. My bet? A 4.7-inch screen and 8-megapixel camera. Source : Cnet

[Q]What phone is this?

Friend of mine asked me to repair his galaxy s4 screen, well after taking a good look at it i think it might be a knock off or (clone). My concern is if I purchase a OEM part for a galaxy s4 im pretty sure its not going to be the same part.
The screen is cracked where i cant get into the settings menu so unable to tell the version of android it is on or verify the phone model. I included a few pictures hope i can get some help.
Basicly my question is what phone model is this if it isnt the S4 or how can I find out.
Thanks,
Kory

Highly doubt it's real. A real S4 would have Samsung branding on the battery. It has dual SIM capabilities so that says it was made in, and for a Chinese area. The micro SD on an official S4 is not in that position. The front screen looks cheap, as well as the back plastic. I am pretty sure it's a clone, or Samsung just dramatically reduced its quality for its lower-income markets in foreign countries
Edit: Also, the font is not stock. Course one can change the font, but I assume the user didn't. Fake phones tend to have different fonts
a real galaxy s4 doesnt look like this .....I found an s4 with triple sim slots and , again , it doesnt look like that . I agree.... its fake

thanks for the reply i had my doubts about it not being legit... here is the clone compared to my real S3 i paid 650$ for.
So now i just need to find out what kind of phone it is to replace the screen for my buddy.

IR blaster?

I have seen some articles saying there was no ir blaster on the S7. Is this true?
From the pics I've seen, it looks like it is there... But I can't find it on the spec list.
Thanks

A review I read yesterday said this is the IRBlaster. Not sure if it was right but it looks in the right position and if it isn't the IRBlaster, what else could it be? A microphone? Perhaps, but I'm not sure why. Anyway, I wouldn't write off infrared just yet unless it's been confirmed by Samsung as definitely not having it.
@Beefheart
thats the second microphone, since many years back most phones does have dual mics...
Solution for IR removal
About the missing IR blaster, I have a solution for that.
It's a Kickstarter campaign soon to be launch,
We will support also the S7, and then you will have the IR blaster on S7. That way you will enjoy the wonderful S7 and still have IR in your smartphone.
You can check it out here:
eyekickstarter.com
It's been removed since the Note5 / s6 edge plus. In reality it's a pretty obsolete technology, but wouldn't have minded if it stuck around.

Far from obsolete.. Samsung still ship their new 4k curved TVs with infra-red technology as do all TV manufactures. Air-con and home theatre systems use IR too. This is just to cut costs.
It really shouldn't be a deal breaker for anyone, unless of course you lose your remote control all the time..
No Infrared in S7
It is a shame that samsung has not included IR Blaster in Samsung S7 because the phone of this caliber and price should be well equipped with all advanced features.
great for switching channels during football match in pub.??

What are the issues, flaws etc with the Note 10 series?

I am considering buying (importing) the Note 10 or 10+ from Hong Kong.
The bands are not an issue.
This is a big expense for me and I don't want to make a bad buying decision.
I know the functional changes from the previous Note series like no headphone jack, power button on the left etc..
However there always seems to be manufacturing, quality control, or just bad design issues.
What faults does the Note 10 series have that I should be aware of?
So far I'm aware that the smaller Note 10 has black crush and I'm aware that some people have difficulties with the under display FP scanner.
What else?

nah.. linux on dex still the same version. no support for note 10.
no gear vr.
note 9 recommended
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
Yep, the missing gear vr blocks me from selling my Note 9.
Didn't know it is not supported any more.
The ultra wide camera pictures however compensate a lot.:good:
Camera is not good
I am disappointed with Exynos Note 10 camera.
I had Pixel 2 Xl and that phone captured more detailed shots compared to this in any light.
Rest everything is great about this phone but to be honest, camera is a let down.
shoot in pro mode if u are unhappy with applied noise reduction and sharpening
