Xiaomi has indeed registered a lot of smartphone patents so that no other brand will take Xiaomi’s idea. Recently, Xiaomi has reportedly registered a new patent, which is a folding smartphone.

Being the prototype of the first folding smartphone patent from Xiaomi, it can be seen that this folding smartphone comes with a similar appearance to Samsung’s folding smartphone, the Galaxy Fold.

However, it can be seen that Xiaomi also presents one component of the Huawei Mate X folding smartphone, namely the camera setup which is located at the end of the folding screen of the smartphone.

In the Xiaomi patent uploaded by LetsGoDigital, it is seen that this smartphone features a flexible screen that can be opened like a book and also a slightly smaller secondary screen which is very similar to the first generation Galaxy Fold.

Then on the back, there is a triple rear camera setup whose resolution is unknown. Given that this is still a patent, of course, Xiaomi doesn’t think about what specifications they will bring if the smartphone is actually going to be made.

Even so, the presence of this patent certainly proves that Xiaomi is currently starting to focus on developing its own folding smartphone. The reason is that many smartphone brands have started to present folding smartphones such as Samsung, Huawei, Royole, to Motorola.

What do you think, is the design of the folding smartphone good enough or Xiaomi should think of a more innovative design so that it doesn’t look like it’s imitating another brand?

Towards the end of 2020, the South Korean electronics manufacturer, Samsung, has released two of its flagship series. Galaxy S20 series at the beginning of the year, while the Galaxy Note20 series has launched some time ago in Indonesia. That means it’s time for the flagship rumors that Samsung will release next year, starting to circulate.

The name itself is still speculative, whether Samsung will call it the Galaxy S30 or Galaxy S21. However, some people who can be considered as specialists in leaking the latest smartphone information seem to be more inclined to mention the Galaxy S21 series. The first rendered photos of the two variants of Samsung’s flagship in 2021 have also appeared on the internet.

The uploader of this rendering photo is @onleaks, has a pretty good track record over the past few months. He also uploaded a render of the Huawei Mate 40 some time ago, which differed only slightly from the original press photo uploaded by Roland Quandt from WinFuture. Then what about the design of the Galaxy S21 series?

Galaxy S21 & S21 Ultra display

Several photos have been uploaded by him, showing the front, side, and back views of the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra as the best variants. In addition to the rendered photos, @onleaks also confirmed that the two of them will be here first in January 2021. Whether or not they are, we are looking forward to it.

From the uploaded photos and videos, it can be seen that the front view is still similar to the previous generation. The difference is in the left and right corner, where the Galaxy S21 uses a flat panel like the Galaxy S20 FE, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra still comes with a curved glass corner. Each of these has a 6.2 screen and an estimated 6.7 – 6.9 inches for the Ultra variant.

While the rear camera design is made different. If previously used a square frame, this time the module is made up of the ends of the left and top corners.

Equally protruding slightly, this time the flash is located on the outside of the camera module. The Galaxy S21 has a vertically aligned triple camera setup, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra has one additional sensor.

Galaxy S21 Ultra Comes Slightly Thicker

Also informed about the size of each of the latest Samsung flagship series. The Galaxy S21 has dimensions of 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9mm (without the camera bump), while the Galaxy S21 Ultra is certainly bigger at 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9mm (with a 2mm camera bump).

Compared to the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the thickness is only 0.1mm up. And from the four sides, rumors can be denied that the S-Pen stylus will be present in the Galaxy S series variant.

In addition, it is also rumored that Samsung is preparing several Exynos processors in the future, one of which will carry a GPU from AMD. Quoted from SamMobile & Ice Universe, the Exynos 2100 chipset is prepared which is claimed to have no power efficiency issues like its predecessor series. Not only that, there are still Exynos 9855 and Exynos 9925, each of which is set to debut in 2022 – 2023.

While smartphone manufacturers are constantly releasing products with the support of 5G networks, there is still a need for cell phones that are much simpler.

In addition to secondary devices, also for those who don’t really need features that are too sophisticated. Talking about cell phones or feature phones, you will definitely remember this brand.

Yes, especially if it’s not Nokia, whose trademark feature phone & smartphone is now held by HMD Global. In addition to its Android smartphone, which will appear on the big screen, No Time To Die, HMD has released two premium feature phones with 4G network support. Both are Nokia 215 4G & Nokia 225 4G.

So why do you think HMD Global is still releasing feature phones like the Nokia 215 4G? Juho Sarvikas, CPO & VP of North America, HMD Global tried to explain through an official release post.

According to him, it is their responsibility to make sure everyone can connect, even with the smallest budget.

Nokia 215 & 225 4G Comes to Meet Community Needs

“By bringing you Nokia 215 4G & Nokia 225 4G, we are taking another step towards our mission to provide low-cost access to global connectivity, to those who need it most, namely the billions of people who are not yet connected. The two new phones feature a familiar yet modern and ergonomic design, ”explained Juho.
