The weight is similar to the predecessor and the only change is the location of fingerprint scanner which is now placed below the camera sensor.Even after changing the location of the fingerprint sensor user’s finger use to always touch the camera lens instead of fingerprint scanner which is odd to hear.
As per the user, the major selling point of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is with new variable aperture rear camera which can now shoot videos up to 4K @60fps, 720p @480fps and 1080p @240fps and sadly there is no Super Slomo video recording at 1000fps.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 will also feature Dual stereo speakers similar to iPhone 8 with one at the bottom and other on the earpiece which doubles up as a secondary speaker and comes with surround sound feature which is a major improvement over the predecessor as per the user.It also has the 3.5 mm audio port.
Apart from that, the user also told that Samsung version of Animoji called the 3D Emoji is a combination of Apple Animoji and Bitmoji which uses the front-facing camera to create animation and might be heavily advertised to sell the device.The 3D emoji can create the avatar and also control the facial features similar to animoji.The user has not revealed the pricing of the device and the post was deleted after few hours.

As per Evan Blass, the codenamed Judy will spot 6.1 inches display with HDR 10 support, having an aspect ratio of 18:9 with 400 nits brightness.Probably the upcoming smartphone will feature LG developed MLCD+ display which consumes 35% less power consumption than the IPS LCD display.The new display will have RGBW subpixel matrix and W stands for White.
The upcoming flagship will now use the latest SD845 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage and might even launch the S variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

Nokia is all set to launch some exciting devices in coming weeks at MWC 2018. With just a few days left for the official announcement, we have got numerous leaks about the devices.Today popular leakster Evan Blass has shared the new renders of the upcoming Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 1.
As per leaked renders, the Nokia 1 has got completely new design when compared with previous leaks.The Nokia 1 is the cheapest smartphone from Nokia and will be running on a lighter version of Android with Android Go OS.
As per the images, the Nokia 1 looks like some years old in terms of design and has got pretty thick bezels on the front and on the top of the display we have the selfie camera with an earpiece and nothing below the display.
On the back, we have the rear camera coupled with Dual LED flash below it and Nokia branding just below the camera module with speaker mesh on the bottom right corner of the device.The Nokia 1 will come in two colours with Bright Red and Indigo.
The next device is the mid-range smartphone with Nokia 7 Plus. It is the upgraded version of Nokia 7 which was launched in Nov last year in China.The Nokia 7 Plus now sports a nearly bezel-less display at the front with curved corners.
It looks similar to Nokia 7 in terms of overall looks and design.It has thicker top and bottom bezels with selfie camera, earpiece and sensors residing on the top of the display.At the back, we have Dual cameras with Zeiss branding and Dual Tone Dual LED flash beside it and fingerprint scanner below the camera.
The surprising fact is that there is Android One Branding just below the Nokia branding.So the International variant of Nokia 7 Plus will be an Android One device and will also be the first Nokia device featuring Android One.
Apart from that we also got the live images of the Nokia 7 Plus leaked.The new images of the device look similar to above-shared renders with a bezel-less display having an aspect ratio of 18:9 and is also covered with 2.5D curved glass on top.
Sadly, there are no images leaked showing the rear of the device.As per the leaked image, we can see the word Namaste mentioned on the top left corner of the display with an Indian name Raj Sharma. So this image provides us hint that Nokia 7 Plus will soon be landing India.
The Nokia 7 Plus will be made out of metal and will come with a ceramic finish on top.As per earlier leaks, the upcoming Nokia 7 Plus will be powered by SD660 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM.
Samsung has now filed a new patent for its upcoming smartwatch Samsung Gear X.As per patents, the new smartwatch can now track blood pressure.

1 of 7
Samsung upcoming smartwatch will feature polarised and depolarised light to track the blood pressure through the skin and will display the data directly on the screen.Probably the upcoming smartwatch might be for a health-related purpose and not for fitness as we saw on the current gen of Samsung Gear smartwatches.
Apart from this, the smartwatch will also include the numeric keypad so that one can make calls directly from the smartwatch.It also includes the NFC probably for Samsung pay.Apart from this, there are no more details leaked. We are still not sure whether Samsung will ever launch such a smartwatch with Blood pressure sensor enabled in the future as of now.
