Samsung W2019 luxury clamshell leaks in even more images

Every year Samsung launches an odd clamshell smartphone in China with two screens, top of the line internals, and a very high price. Following the W2016, W2017, and W2018, it's almost time for the W2019 to be officially unveiled. That should happen very soon, perhaps even in the next few weeks, given the amount of leaks we've seen about it recently. Samsung W2019 Today we have a bunch of new pictures showing the upcoming device in all its blocky glory. There are multiple angles, and the focus is mainly on how thick and unashamedly big it is.

Latest Samsung Galaxy S9+ Android Pie beta brings DeX without a dock

With the launch of the Galaxy Note9 this year, Samsung brought a new version of its DeX feature, which didn't need a dock to enable the full desktop DeX experience - a USB-C to HDMI cable would do just fine. And according to the leaked Samsung Experience 10 beta software based on 9.0 Android, the Galaxy S9+ will get the feature as well. There's a catch though - if you choose not to use the DeX dock, you will be allowed to open only 5 windows instead of 20 and you will lose all the additional connectivity options the dock provides. In any case, since the Galaxy S9+, the regular Galaxy...

Lines for the OnePlus 6T were longer than the ones for the iPhones, says T-Mobile

People are buying what OnePlus and T-Mobile are selling - the lines for the OnePlus 6T in front of the carrier's stores were longer than those for the new iPhones (according to a T-Mo employee quoted by Business Insider). T-Mobile stores are currently the only place in the world where you can buy a 6T, but that's not why the carrier has the best deal on the new flagship. By trading in an eligible phone (the list is quite long and even includes the original OnePlus One) you get $300 credit towards buying a OnePlus 6T. That drops the final price from $580 to just $280 - a deal that Apple,...

Samsung posted its quarterly report for Q3 and again smashed its own record by reaching KRW65.46 trillion ($57.3 billion) in revenue and KRW17.57 trillion ($15.4 billion) in operating profit.

OnePlus 6T got unveiled yesterday and now the phone is having a separate introduction in New Delhi, India. The global launch was broadcasted on YouTube and this one will be live and freely available as well. The stream will be live at 8.30 PM IST when the event begins. Although we know the OnePlus 6T comes with an UD fingerprint scanner, waterdrop notch, and Snapdragon 845, we are expecting to see prices and availability dates for the Amazon Exclusive device, and hopefully some local promos with gifts.
