Never mind that Samsung Electronics Co., the global smartphone maker leader as ranked by device shipments, reported a 60 percent slump in quarterly operating income a few days ago — the worst such drop in more than four years. A slowdown in smartphone sales, as well as plunging memory chip prices, were mostly to blame when the company reported its latest earnings.

DJ Koh, the CEO of Samsung’s mobile division, tried to sound bullish anyway in a new interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro, in which he declared that foldable technology will help the company recapture some of its mojo. Also, he brushed off the threat from Huawei, which wants to displace his company atop the global rankings, and confidently promised that Samsung will remain the smartphone market leader for at least another 10 years.

“As a global leader in the smartphone market, our priority is and has always been to improve our products and services to deliver meaningful innovations for our consumers,” Koh said, according to an English translation of the interview. “Samsung has been a leader in the smartphone market for 10 years and will remain so for the next 10 years by continuing to innovate and imagine new mobile experiences.”

That last part, about imagining new mobile experiences, is an allusion to new foldable phone technology that will manifest in Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy Fold smartphone. It’s headed for an April 26 release in the US and comes at a time when Samsung’s global smartphone shipments overall have actually been slipping — hitting 290 million units in 2018, for example, down from almost 318 million units the year before.

That data comes from Counterpoint Technology Market Research, which also shows just how much of a threat Chinese competitor Huawei is starting to become to Samsung. We’ve reported before that Huawei is aggressively gunning for the top global smartphone ranking, despite the fact that it’s been shut out of many Western markets like the US, and its latest numbers certainly point to its resilience. While Samsung was falling from 2017 to 2018, in other words, Huawei racked up a growth in its smartphone shipments from 153 million to almost 206 million.

Foldables will certainly be a niche product for the time being, but Koh says that Samsung is betting a kind of overall apathy with smartphones in general-being that we’re sort of inured to them as boring glass rectangles with large displays could be cured with an all-new product like a foldable phone. “Personally,” he told the French newspaper, “I see a huge potential for the segment of foldable smartphones. Consumers are looking for larger screens without sacrificing portability.

“We lived until now in a world where the size of the screen was limited to that of the device itself. Samsung has taken into account the evolution of these needs and has radically changed the situation with this new smartphone format and the unprecedented mobile experience that results. Samsung’s foldable smartphone is not just a new category, we’re writing the next chapter of the mobile industry. We created the Galaxy Fold to directly change the way consumers use their phones – everywhere and for everything.”

With just five months to go before Apple’s next-generation iPhone 11 series is announced, leaks have definitely begun to pick up pace in recent weeks. For Apple fans, that’s both good news and bad news. The good news is that hardcore Apple fans love to learn about what their favorite company is up to before anyone else. The bad news is that their favorite company might not be up to anything too impressive in 2019 when it comes to new iPhone hardware. According to everything we’ve seen so far, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 11 series will use the same overall design that iPhones have been using since the iPhone X debuted in 2017. In fact, it appears as though we’re looking at a situation that’s similar to the iPhone 7, when Apple used the same iPhone design for a third consecutive year and only changed the camera on the back.

In the case of the iPhone 11, it might end up looking identical to the iPhone X and iPhone XS on the front, but the back is shaping up to be quite different. Rather than a somewhat small camera bump that houses Apple’s dual-lens rear camera array, the iPhone 11 will apparently have a massive camera bump with three camera lenses and an LED flash. It gives us hope that Apple is planning a major camera upgrade for its new iPhones in 2019, which is great news because Apple’s iPhones are falling way behind leaders like Huawei and Google in the camera department. Now, a new leak seemingly firms up the camera design we’ve seen numerous times in the iPhone 11 leaks, which suggests just about everything else we’ve seen so far is likely accurate as well.

Just last week we saw a schematics leak that supposedly showed an illustration of the iPhone 11’s chasis. The graphic appeared to be displayed on a computer at a factory where the iPhone 11 is being manufactured, and it showed a series of welding points that show where the midplate will be attached to the stainless steel frame that is positioned around the outer edge of the phone.

Here’s the schematic in question:

Take a close look at that midplate in the center of the iPhone 11 chasis illustration. Now, check out the following image that was posted on Chinese microblogging network Weibo on Thursday morning:

The image was posted along with the iPhone 11 render shown at the top of this post, and it appears to show the very same iPhone midplate illustrated in the leak from last week. If it’s legitimate, the part was likely stolen from a Foxconn factory, and it tells us a few things about the iPhone 11’s design.

First, we can see a big hole at the center where the iPhone 11’s wireless charging coil will go, though it hardly comes as a surprise that the handset will support wireless charging. In fact, the iPhone 11 is rumored to support two-way wireless charging so it can also refuel other devices, just like Samsung’s new Galaxy S10.

More important than the wireless charging coil, of course, is what appears to be space for the triple-lens camera array in the top corner of the midplate. It’s shaped just like the iPhone 11 camera setup we’ve seen leak a few times now, and it appears to confirm the bulbous square camera bump we’ve seen pictured time and time again. In addition to the three lenses, there’s also space for an LED flash as well as another sensor in the bottom-right corner.

Apple’s new iPhone 11 series is expected to launch in September just like all of Apple’s iPhones since the iPhone 4S, so we’ll see plenty more leaks before Apple finally makes the phones official.

Apple is one of the most valuable companies on the planet, but it didn’t reach the pinnacle of consumer tech by allowing itself to be scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A pair of college students in Oregon learned that the hard way after they managed to bleed the tech giant for nearly a million dollars before being nabbed by authorities.

According to reports, Quan Jiang and Yangyangg Zhou, both foreign students on U.S. visas, were receiving shipments of counterfeit iPhone knockoffs from China. Once they received the fake smartphones — which were apparently close enough to the real thing for Apple not to immediately notice — the duo returned them to Apple, requesting replacements.

Somehow, this scam worked, at least for a while.

Authorities claim the two scammers sent in over 2,000 fake iPhones to Apple claiming that they were defective. The company denied some of the claims but fulfilled others, sending the two students over 1,400 genuine iPhones to replace the “defective” fake units. The total cost to Apple is estimated at around $900,000.

The fake iPhones, which were apparently only around $30 each, flew under Apple’s radar for some time, but the company and customs officials finally caught on to the scam. When authorities raided the home of Zhou they discovered over 300 of the knockoff smartphones, and both are now facing a laundry list of criminal charges.

The two men will face charges including trafficking knockoff goods, fraudulent customs declarations, and wire fraud. However, Zhou’s attorney claims that his client had no knowledge of the scam at all, and that Jiang was the mastermind of the scam. With 300 fake iPhones in his home, it’s hard to see how anyone could claim such a thing but we’ll have to see how the case pans out before knowing the truth.

HYPE ABOUT S9’s BRILLIANT CAMERA
(All we need to know that looks familiar to the S8 of last year.)

There’s a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S9 that feels very familiar from last year’s S8.

The phones have the same battery capacity, same screen size and resolution and are almost indistinguishable in terms of design. If you want to know all the things that make the S9 a superlative phone, you can read any S8 review from a year ago.They’re almost the same phone.

Samsung’s whole shtick around this latest release is that it has reimagined the camera. It’ll be hoping that these changes are so significant that we’ll overlook the fact that the guts of the phone haven’t moved on much in the last year. In today’s phone battle, the camera is the only ground left.

The S9 has a 12-megapixel dual pixel sensor, much like the S8, but this time Samsung has added a dual aperture feature that is supposed to boost the camera’s performance in low light conditions. When light is low, the camera automatically selects a wider aperture to let in loads of light, but automatically switches back to the narrower setting in normal light conditions.

It also takes 12 shots for every photograph, combining those images to reduce the noise that is often present in darker photos. I am not convinced that these low light boosts actually improve photographs. Photos taken in auto mode look good but zoom in a little closer and the edges look softer and less detailed.

Although Samsung says that its dual aperture system helps the S9 camera let in 28 per cent more light than the S8, I think it looks like the S9 is working overtime to post-process low-light shots to remove noise and smooth out colors.

Switching to a more conventional 4:3 aspect ratio is easy enough and also lets you squeeze maximum resolution out of every photograph. The S9 is also the first Samsung phone to have super slow-mo that records at 960 frames per second, stretching out 0.2 seconds in real time to six seconds on video.

In most light conditions super slow-motion results are extremely grainy, and to my opinion almost unusable.

On the biometric front, the S9 and S9+ introduce “intelligent scan” for the first time. In around one out of every five unlock attempts, intelligent scan gave up trying to recognize me after a few seconds forcing unlocking the phone by entering a pattern.

All the things that made the S8 a great phone are still – it’s got a huge screen, top-notch camera and a sick design.
