Galaxy Note 9 Leaks: Concept renders and wireframe available online

We are months away from next flagship device from Samsung, the Galaxy S9 and new leaks are pouring in for the Galaxy Note 9. From the new leaks it's clear that the new Note will inherit a lot of the designs aspects of the S9, bringing some new feature on it's own. It was reported that the S9 will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Sad to say, news came in that Galaxy S9 will not incorporate this feature. Fans can rejoice that right after launch of the S9, Note 9 will be in the works and it's sure to have this feature.

The news doesn't end there. We have got updates on the major specs for the device too. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will come with a Snapdragon Octa Core CPU paired with depending on the option you choose, either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. For the 6GB version, you'll get 64GB of internal storage with micro sd expansion and for the 8GB one, you'll get 128 or 256GB of storage with micro sd expansion, smart move by Samsung in terms of marketing here. Apart from this the Note 9 will also feature dual rear cameras, one 16 Megapixel with 50mm lens and one 12 Megapixel with 28mm lens, both with f/1.7 aperture and OIS. The front will be the same 12 Megapixel sensor with a more wider lens with f/1.7 aperture and OIS.

Like the S series of yesteryear, the Note 9 will feature an 18.5:9 2K display, stretched and scaling to 6.3 inches. The stretched aspect ratio means that the device will have a much smaller footprint compared to other phablets. The display will be completely curved to the sides unlike the edge displays found in S8 and Note 8. Speaking of the display, it will all house the on-display fingerprint sensor which will be one of the standout features of the Galaxy Note 9. Best features, top specs and a premium design, Note 9 will be the next big thing from Samsung.

Google,Galaxy Nexus Family gets new addition

Google had to cancel their event due Hurricane Sandy, but this Mountain View saw us that they won't give up without a fight. Hot on the tails of Microsoft who announced their windows phone 8,  Google announced their Nexus 4 Phone made by LG and Nexus Tab 10 made by Samsung, a refresh to the Nexus 7 tablets.

Talking about Nexus 4 made by LG, the phone seemed to be a poorly kept secret as photos, specs were leaked on the net. We are not really sure of the specs, but we now officially know that the Nexus 4 runs on Android 4.2 Jellybean.  The specifications of the phone are really doubtful. But just to re-iterate, it runs on Snapdragon S4 processor along with 2GB RAM.
Also a true HD IPS Display panel with 1280x768 resolution and an 8MP rear snapper. Unlocked straight off from the play store, Nexus 4 will be available in two variants, 8GB costing around $299 and 16GB at $349.

This new tab is powered by Samsung Exynos 5250 dual core clocked at 1.7GHz along with a Mali T640 GPU. It is also  powered by 2GB RAM , NFC and stereos speakers. The real kicker is the display, the Nexus 10 has a native resolution of 2560x1600 pegging its pixel density at a whopping 300ppi (iPad having 264 ppi). This powerhouse can be yours for the modest price of $399 for 16Gb and $449 for the 32GB version.
