New Tech Shout

Today in India, Lenovo is launching a new laptop, the Lenovo M10 FHD REL screen, which comes with midrange specifications. Some highlights, such as the charger, which is generous enough, are worth mentioning. Let's see what the 10.1 incher is to offer.

Lenovo M10 FHD REL packs a 10.1-inch full HD IPS LCD screen instead of beefy bezels. We consider a 5 MP selfie camera on the front, plus dual speakers on the front. There's an 8 MP shooter on the back, while the Snapdragon 450 cpu, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage, plus microSD, are located inside. Android 9.0 Pie and a 7000 mAh battery chargeable via microUSB are available here. There's also a dual WiFi band, audio jack, and FM radio tuner.

The device is available in either WiFi or WiFi + 4G versions. We also have support for Bluetooth 4.2, Dolby Atmos, and from what I can see the OS is pretty close to storing Ios, giving or taking a few icons. The drug is already on sale in India at a price of $196. No idea if we're going to see a debut on the international stage. Those who purchase the tablet from Flipkart will also receive a 5 per cent instant credit card discount from Axis Bank Buzz.

Apple 5G iPad Pro

We've heard that Apple was planning a 5 G ipad multiple times, which could even make its debut before an iPhone5G. It will definitely be an iPad Pro 5 G edition and we are now learning more about it. The device will provide support for 5 G millimeter wave technology, it turns out.

And essentially 5 G networks depend on two frequency bands according to the 3GPP authority: FR1 and FR2. The first one has a spectrum of 450 MHz and 6 GHz, also known as the sub-6 GHz band, whereas the FR2 frequency range is 24.25 GHz–52.6 GHz. That one is called mmWave (mmWave). The former is expected to continue traveling and deliver better rural and suburban coverage, but with slower speeds too.

In urban areas the mmWave one is stronger, providing wide bandwidth and high speeds. Apple appears to have opted for the second version. There is a source that cites Taiwan's advanced division of the semiconductor industry, saying they will provide antenna packaging technology for the 5 G iPads and 5 G iPhones. Although 5 G iPhones are pretty much expected this fall, we've just not got a timetable for 5 G iPad Pros yet. One would think it will come in October but it could be postponed until the worst case in Spring 2021.

We've also learned that the new iPad Pro would come in a square package with a triple camera borrowed from the iPhone 11 Pro and an additional sensor for AR functions. An Apple A14X is supposed to be inside, giving it power close to that of MacBook. I'm wondering how to tackle the imminent 5 G / battery woes.

For a minute there, Samsung and Huawei battled secretly for the launch of the first 5 G phone, but Samsung seems eager to accept it. We thought it would be the Huawei MatePad Pro, but in a 5 G version one has yet to make a debut. Samsung has confirmed the launch of the world's first 5 G tablet in Korea in Q1 2020.

It's the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5 G and I'm really wondering if the specs-wise remains the same. During the February 11th event meant for the Galaxy Fold 2 and Galaxy S20, it's very likely to debut next month. The slate would probably keep 2560x 1600 pixel display of the same Super AMOLED 10.5 inch and the slim metal body, with a thickness of less than 6 mm on the waistline. We could also get the same Snapdragon 855 CPU inside, unless Samsung wants a S855+ or S865 chip to go up the stakes.

There is a S Pen in the mix, magnetically attached to the rear side, in a special slot. We also have a keyboard, of course, which hooks up to pogo pins. Other than that it's all RAM 6 or 8 GB, storage 128 GB or 256 GB and a dual back camera with a 13 MP and 5 MP sensor. The OG model had 4 G connectivity, ANT+, USB-C, Dual Band WiFi, GPS, but no NFC. Because of the extra components and perhaps also a battery update, I expect the 420 gram weight to increase.

Here we are only speculating and spit-balling, so don't read too much into it. It's possibly the same Tab S6 in the end but with a 5 G modem. I expect a price hike of at least $100 or $200.

Don't forget about the versatility of Android with DeX which brings a Windows-like UI.

Samsung has been preparing an expanded lineup of tablets for some time now and we find the Samsung Galaxy Tab A4s among those products. Bluetooth authorities recently approved the system and it has now also passed the FCC. It revealed its key details and it sounds like a mid-range offering.

With a 4800 mAh battery in the mix, the upcoming tablet will arrive and it will most likely sport a metallic body. The FCC has approved Samsung's new tablet, indicating it should launch early, likely on CES 2020. The FCC page also addresses support for fast 15W charging and the codename SM-T307U is shown as well. Apart from the WiFi one, there is also the optional LTE connectivity for another version. There are also references in the documents to the size of the device: 201.9x 112.4 mm (length and width), with a diagonal of 237.1 mm.

The phone is an 8.3 incher, with HD or Full HD resolution and apart from WiFi and LTE, it will also have 4 G LTE and GPS. In fact, the Bluetooth SIG listing stated that it will have Bluetooth 5.0. Tab A4s runs on Android 9.0 Pie and provides 32 GB of storage. We're expecting something like 3 GB of RAM on board, maybe 2 GB and an older Exynos processor, maybe the one from the Galaxy A40 or A50. An 8 megapixel back camera and 2 MP front shooter might make the cut as well.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is about to get another version, as it has appeared on both a support page and a promotional list. Samsung is very interested in taking over the "latest 5 G tablet" launch, aiming to be ahead of the 5 G Huawei MatePad Pro.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 has been out for some time now, since August, but with a few cool price cuts, it's aged well. The version 5 G now provides an official support page. It is specs-free so we know what to expect. Codenamed SM-T866N, the device is also part of a promotion that Samsung organizes in her homeland. It's a series of bundles that include buying a Tab S5e, Galaxy Tab A, with or without an S Pen, as well as the Tab S6 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G.

The model is classified as "Coming Soon" and by the way, the promotion runs until 30 March 2020. We expect the same hardware under the fingerprint scanner and a Snapdragon 855 CPU between the Tab S6 and Tab S6 5 G including a 10.5 inch Super AMOLED screen. RAM is 6 or 8 GB, storage is 128 GB or 256 GB, plus a 7040 mAh battery. We also get an AKG setup with 4 speakers. Essentially, it's the same thing, plus an X50 5 G modem.

The S Pen that magnetically sticks to the rear is part of the same kit. Speaking of premieres, Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 already had one, as it was the screen's first HDR10 + -certified tablet in the world.
