Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro press renders and specs leak ahead of todays's unveiling

-


Today Samsung will make the Galaxy C9 official in China. At least that's what we thought so far. However, it turns out that the device we've been referring to as the C9 is actually going to be called C9 Pro. We now know this because a lot of official-looking Samsung promo materials for the Galaxy C9 Pro have been leaked in China today ahead of tomorrow's grand event.



These contain a few press renders of the handset, which you can see in all its glory below. There are also quite a few specs detailed, so let's go through those. The Galaxy C9 Pro will have a 6-inch touchscreen and will be powered either by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or the new 653 chipset - the two Chinese sources for these leaks couldn't agree on which one.


In any case, the phone will have 6GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a 16 MP camera on the back (with f/1.9 aperture) and a 16 MP unit on the front, NFC, a USB Type-C port, and support for Samsung Pay (including through MST). It's just 6.9mm thick.

It will be priced at CNY 3,199 ($474 or €434 at the current exchange rates), which makes it a very capable competitor for Oppo's just announced R9s Plus. The Galaxy C9 Pro even features pretty much the same antenna line design on the back as that handset. Most importantly, however, it's going to be CNY 300 cheaper than the R9s Plus, while coming with similar specs.



According to past leaks, rumors, and various regulatory certifications, the Galaxy C9 Pro will have 1080p screen resolution, 4G LTE support, and a 4,000 mAh battery. It should run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The phone's release may unfortunately be limited to the Chinese market. We'll find out more in less than 24 hours.

Thanks for the tip, Samsung leaker!

While the device launched in China carries a model number of SM-A9100, a Samsung SM-A910F has been spotted listed on India's import/export tracking website Zauba. While there's no confirmation on exactly which regions will get the Galaxy A9 Pro, a polish retailer is has reportedly already started accepting pre-orders for the device, suggesting that Europe is on the list. In case you don't already know, the A9 Pro is a slightly upgraded version of the A9 with 4GB RAM, 32GB memory, and 16MP rear camera.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
