Image result for Galaxy A60
Samsung Galaxy A60 specs and features have leaked online – and, if they’re accurate, they give us our first good look at the device, and how it differs from Samsung’s latest flagships.
A spec sheet leaked via SlashLeaks gives a quick run-down of the  Galaxy A60’s features – and if these specs are true, the A60 will be strong competition for Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S10 phones, with the phone getting a selection of advanced features. 

Especially noteworthy is the mention of a tri-lens rear camera array, comprising a 32MP main sensor joined by a 8MP wide lens and 5MP tertiary snapper. 
Given that none of the Galaxy S10 series has a 32MP rear camera, instead using 12MP main sensors with 16MP telephoto and 16MP ultra-wide lenses, if the leak is correct the Galaxy A60 may have a snapper to rival the S10’s – although the lens specializations of the S10 range shouldn’t be underestimated.

The A60 will also have a 32MP selfie camera, the leak suggests, which would surely hold a candle to the Galaxy S10’s 10MP front snapper (although the S10 Plus has a dual-lens front camera array, which lends itself to artistic portraits). If the leak is to be believed Samsung is going all out to make the A60 a photographic powerhouse.
According to the leak the A60 will also come with an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a feature missing from the Galaxy S10e, the 'budget' S10 device. 

There are also a few other things the A60 has over the S10 range, if the leak is to be believed – it has a 4,500mAh battery, while the 6.7-inch AMOLED display would only be matched in size by the Galaxy S10 Plus 5G, the super-sized S10 device.
Another leak, of renders of the A60 via PriceKart, show how these features could fit on the Galaxy A60. The images show the vertical rear camera layout and bezel housing a front-facing camera, although it’s worth noting that it puts this selfie camera at 35MP instead of the other leak’s 32MP – so at least one of these leaks must be inaccurate.
The first leak also gives a rough launch date of April 2019, and says the phone will release with 128GB memory and either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and we’re hoping to see it in the next few months.

The Galaxy A range has traditionally been a more affordable alternative to the pricier Galaxy S flagship range, so we don’t expect prices for the Galaxy A phones to be near those of the Galaxy S handsets. The Galaxy A50 will release between €300 (roughly $340, £260, AU$475) and €400 (around $450, £350, AU$630), and the A60 looks like a slight increase in terms of specs, so expect its price to be just a touch higher.
With such great features for a budget device, the leaked specs do seem a little too good to be true, so we’re taking them with a pinch of salt for now. Alternatively, perhaps the A60 will be a little closer in line with the S10s in terms of price – we’ll have to wait for some official line to be sure either way.
The A60 would join various other Galaxy A handsets – we’ve already gotten hands-on with the A30 and A50, and heard a little about the A10, but there’s also talk of an A40 and A90 being in the works too. While we’re a little confused about the numerical order, we’re intrigued to see how these devices will compare to the Galaxy S10 series.

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phONE

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phone A month ago, I wrote about the iPhone's camera and how instrumental it is to many of the things that make that bestselling device so appealing. Today, Apple's most direct competitor, Samsung, has reiterated its long history of developing cameraphones and promised to deliver nothing less than "the future of cameras." In a post by Samsung's camera R&D chief DongHoon Jang, the company promises its 2015 flagship phone "will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button." Imaging technology has been a traditional strength for Samsung's flagship smartphones, and the latest Galaxy Note 4 has marked an appreciable upgrade after a couple of years of relative stagnation in image quality. Now Samsung seems intent to step things up another not...

Huawei P30 release date

The Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro are set to be the next flagship smartphones from the Chinese brand, which has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro rivaled the likes of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, Pixel 3 XL and new iPhones, and the P30 duo (or potentially trio) will certainly have the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus in their sights. We say potentially trio, as Apple launched three new phones back in September, and Samsung did the same in February, so we wouldn't be surprised if Huawei followed suit with a new trio of its own under the P30 name. Huawei has even teased the arrival of the handsets, with a video posted on Twitter confirming the March 26 launch date for the "P30 series" - suggesting we'll definitely see more than one phone with the P30 name attached to it.

How Samsung won and then lost the smartphone war

In November 2011, Samsung released the first of a series of ads that would define the company for the next three years. It started with a bunch of hipster-looking people waiting outside a mock Apple Store for the next iPhone. As the hipsters tick down the hours until they have the right to get Apple’s new iThing, they spot others on the street using something better. The phone, Samsung’s former flagship Galaxy S II, had a big screen and a 4G wireless connection, two major features that were missing from Apple’s new iPhone 4S. And unlike the iPhone, you didn’t have to wait around to buy a Galaxy S II. You could get it now.  But you didn’t see anyone lining up to buy a Samsung, or anything other than an iPhone, in those days. Things started to change with the first “Next Big Thing” spot. Just like Apple poked fun at Microsoft with its “I’m a Mac” campaign in the 2000s, Samsung’s goal was to tap into the same strategy — a little guy taking swings at the dominant player in the ...
