Week 15 in review: New Galaxy A phone debut as OnePlus 8 lineup dominates headlines

Despite the still ongoing global crisis, last week was rather busy in the tech realm. Samsung brought the Galaxy A71 5G and A21 as the latest addition to the 2020 Galaxy A lineup.

TCL also took the wrapping off of its 10 series of phones, featuring an affordable 5G phone. The trend is pretty clear and hardly unexpected. Still, we can’t help but feel pleased that 5G technology is becoming more widely accessible at such a rapid pace.

An that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rumors and leaks on upcoming devices. The industry is still collectively captivated by the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. Plenty of expectations hang on their shoulders and we will finally be getting the full picture next week.

The upcoming iPhone SE 2020 is nearing quickly, but on the flip side, Microsoft’s Surface Duo device seem to be taking its sweet time coming to market. Honestly, given the current and especially anticipated global economic realities in the near future, caution might not be the worst idea.

Then again, Samsung seem the be enjoying an unexpected level of success with the S20 Ultra. Proving that that there is still plenty of room for liberally priced flagships to exist in 2020.

And speaking of things to look forward to, the Google Pixel 4a has been increasing the frequency of its visits to the rumor mill. Also, just around the corner is LG’s intriguing, alleged new mid-range line of phones to replace the G series.

See you in seven days!

Not much left to wonder about the upcoming OnePlus flagships.

Apple's entry-level iPhone is coming, as evidenced by its placeholder on JD.

The TCL 10 5G may have the better S765G chipset, but the Pro model switches to an AMOLED display.

Four years after their launch the S7 and S7 edge are officially out of Samsung's update roadmap.

The 48MP sensor supports 4-in-1 pixel binning, which was used in the wide-angle shot. There's also a telephoto sample.

Heylou is a Xiaomi partner. This watch runs a proprietary OS and promises 15 days of battery life with 24-hour heart rate tracking (twice that without).

Those will be used for surround sound. There will also be a 24MP pop-up camera with a color sensor for automatic screen adjustments.

A mid-ranger phone getting the highest resolution sensor ever? Why not, the Mi Note 10 was the first to go north of 100MP and it had the 730G chip.

The lineup will be unveiled on April 14.

Looks basically identical to the Pixel 4 box.

The phone was announced back in February, and you still have a two month-plus wait from this point on.

This includes some highly affordable phones (starting at $110) as well as a couple of 5G-enabled models.

Info coming straight from the supply chain.

We’ve been hearing about LG’s plans to put an end to its G-series and possibly bring back its storied Chocolate line as a replacement.

The virtual A/B partition scheme is becoming mandatory to get GMS.

It's like a Kirin 820 CPU with higher clock speeds. Also, it has a more powerful dual-core NPU.

The bezel on the corners will likely remain even in future designs.
