iPhone 12 with 6.7-inch display to be thinner than iPhone 11 Pro Max, could sport bigger rear cameras

The latest reports also claim that the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 model will be slightly taller than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and feature a triple-lens rear camera with larger sensors than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Apple is expected to launch four new iPhones in 2020

The flagship of this line-up could be a 6.7-inch display iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 could look similar to the iPhone 11 Pro

In 2020, Apple is expected to launch as many as four new iPhones spread across different price points and sporting different hardware and display sizes. Of these, the smallest will be a 5.4-inch model, while two phones will get 6.1-inch display, whereas the top of the line iPhone for the year will get a 6.7-inch panel.

And now, Japanese blog Mac Otakara has revealed new details about the devices. The blog claims to have gotten the information from sources within Apple's supply chain in China and claims the 6.7-inch model will have a thickness around 7.4mm, which would be nearly 10 per cent thinner than the iPhone 11 Pro Max at 8.1mm.

It also claims that the 6.7-inch model will be slightly taller than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and feature a triple-lens rear camera with larger sensors than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The report also claims that the iPhone 12 line-up could have the same housing design as the iPhone 11. Interestingly, this is in contradiction to previous revelations by Ming-Chi Kuo, who has said the iPhone 12 will feature a boxier design similar to the iPhone 4 as part of a significant chassis redesign.

Apart from the 6.7-inch iPhone, the report also talks about the other models in the list, revealing that the 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch models will feature dual-camera setups. Additionally, all models being launched in 2020 are said to feature OLED screens, and have previously been reported to pack a new "A14" system-on-chip processor and 5G connectivity.

But that’s not it.

Previous reports have also suggested that Apple is working on an iPhone 9 with a design that will borrow elements from the iPhone 8. It will include Touch ID and Home button among other things.

A recent report from MyDrivers suggests that Apple is even done testing the iPhone 9 and is preparing to launch it within the first quarter of 2020. This could very well be March 2020 when Apple usually hosts an event announcing an affordable iPad model.

The phone is also tipped to be the most affordable iPhone ever by Apple. Two variants of the device are expected to launch, with the cheaper one bringing 64GB storage and cost $399, approximately Rs 28,000.

Samsung Galaxy A41 announced with 6.1" OLED, vastly improved triple camera

The Samsung Galaxy A41 was seen in multiple leaks earlier this year and now makes its official debut in Japan. It's a preliminary announcement rather since the Galaxy A41 is only scheduled to hit the shelves in June 2020. The Galaxy A41 brings notable improvements over the Galaxy A40 starting with the larger 6.1" FHD+ Super AMOLED display. It still has a water waterdrop notch with a 25MP selfie camera, but there's now a fingerprint sensor underneath as opposed to around the back. The main camera setup uses a single vertical roll as opposed to the rectangular plates of most recent A-series phones. It's a major jump forward too, having a 48MP main shooter alongside an 8MP ultrawide snapper and 5MP depth helper. The Helio P65 chipset sits at the helm paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The phone is powered by a 3,500mAh battery with support for 15W charging speeds. The A41 also gains IP68 dust and water resistance and will presumably launch with An...

Weekly poll: Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro bring the S865, skimp on zoom - was that a mistake?

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 was an odd duck but its chipset of choice left many wanting. The new Mi 10 duo is both larger and more powerful than Note and it’s usually the other way around . The Xiaomi mi 10 brings the Snapdragon 865 chipset, the performance of which is a class above the S730G found in the Note phone. It also enables 5G connectivity, which is becoming increasingly important as carriers have already covered major metropolitan areas around the world. The upgrade to UFS 3.0 storage (from 2.0) will be tangible as well. The screen got a major boost - a 6.67” panel, up from 6.39” of the Mi 9 and 6.47” of the Mi Note 10. Better yet, this is the first Mi-series phone to boast a high refresh rate screen – 90Hz (though the Redmi lineup already has a 120Hz phone). Xiaomi equipped the Mi 10 with the 108MP sensor that Samsung designed for it. Thanks to the chipset upgrade, it’s capable of recording 8K video as well as 4K at 60fps. One major downside of the new flagship is ...
