Productivity with Samsung DeX and S Pen

With the Galaxy Tab S4, Samsung is bringing Samsung DeX to the tablet for the first time. When connected to the optional Book Cover Keyboard (sold separately) or launched from the Quick Panel, the Galaxy Tab S4 powers on Samsung DeX, giving users the option to switch from the Android interface to a desktop experience. With Samsung DeX, you can open multiple desktop-style windows for your Android apps, including the Microsoft Office suite, directly on the Galaxy Tab S4, and re-size them when needed. Drag and drop content between apps and use keyboard shortcuts and commands for efficiency.
If more screen is needed, there is also an option to extend Samsung DeX to an external monitor with a compatible HDMI to USB-C multi-port adapter (not included). When connected, the Galaxy Tab S4 can serve as a track pad or a sketch pad, and new this year, the Galaxy Tab S4 can continue to work as a fully functional Android tablet, giving users two screens to accomplish tasks.

They can take notes on the fly through the Screen-Off Memo feature, as well as navigate, translate and organize notes through Samsung Notes, and even send personalized texts through Samsung Live Message – all with the S Pen.

A Screen Fit for Any Job – or Movie

It’s easier to get more done when you have the right screen. Even the busiest professionals still take time to sit back with a game or movie. Now you can enjoy a more immersive experience on a device you can take anywhere. While similar in size to the Galaxy Tab S3, the Galaxy Tab S4 sports narrower bezels to fit a large 10.5-inch display with Super AMOLED technology, as well as a 16:10 screen ratio with 2560×1600, 287 pixels per inch (PPI) resolution for vivid picture detail and true-to-life visuals.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 и Galaxy Tab S4 (2018) появились на пресс-фото

С приближением презентации новых мобильных устройств Samsung, которые станут доступны для покупателей во во второй половине 2018 года, в Сети появляется всё больше информационных утечек и 3D-рендеров (очен вероятно, что официальных, которые далось раздобыть охотникам за техническими новинками).
Один за другим на просторах интернета "засветились" сразу 2 гаджета, которые должны стать одними из фаворитов осеннего сезона.
Накануне ресурс AndroidHeadlines обнародовал официальный пресс-рендер (по крайней мере так сообщают источники) нового планшета Galaxy Tab S4 (2918), а сегодня портал Gizmochina показал, как будет выглядеть очередной флагманский смартфон Samsung Galaxy Note9.
Что касается их характеристик, то, согласно предварительным данным, планшет  4-го поколения серии Galaxy Tab S получит отличный Super AMOLED-дисплей с соотношением сторон 16:10, уменьшенные, по сравнению с предшественниками, рамки, а также избавится от физических кнопок на лицевой стороне, которые будут заменены на виртуальные. При этом эксперты гадают, где может быть размещён сканер отпечатков пальцев. Не исключено, что дактилоскоп будет отсутствовать вовсе, так как его заменят системы сканирования лица и радужной оболочки глаз. В то же время допускается вероятность того, что сканер будет интегрирован непосредственно в экран. В таком случае это будет первое мобильной устройство Samsung, оснащённое столь продвинутой опцией.
Этот топовый планшет получит чипсет Snapdragon 835, 4Гб ОЗУ, 64Гб встроенной флэш-памяти, батарею на 7300 мАч, 13-Мп и 8-Мп камеры, Android 8.1 Oreo «из коробки», поддержку DeX-терминала и звук от легендарной австрийской компании AKG (ныне принадлежит Samsung).
Презентация Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (2018) ожидается в рамках берлинской выставки IFA 2018 (конец августа - начало сентября). 

Что касается Galaxy Note9, то здесь также прочти всё известно. Его внешний не будет сильно отличаться от своего популярного предшественника Galaxy Note8. Тем не менее, новые иллюстрации позволяют получить более полное представление о новом гаджете.
Galaxy Note9 имеет изогнутый по бокам экран с тонкой рамкой сверху и почти отсутствующей рамкой снизу. На задней стороне расположена двойная камера, модули которой ориентированы инженерами Samsung горизонтально, в отличие от прошлогодней модели. Ниже размещён сканер отпечатков пальцев.
По бокам расположены кнопки для регулировки громкости, управления питанием и активации виртуального помощника Bixby.
Согласно предварительным данным, в базовой версии девайс оснащён экраном Super AMOLED Infinity Display размером 6,4 дюйма. В качестве "двигателя" предусмотрены варианты на SoC Snapdragon 845 и Exynos 9810. Объём ОЗУ составит 6Гб, флэш-памяти — 128Гб, ёмкость аккумулятора — 4000 мА∙ч. В более дорогих модификациях предполагается наличие 8Гб оперативной памяти,  а также 256Гб и даже 512Гб флэш-памяти.
Главным изменением в этой модели подвергся стилус, который, согласно просочившейся информации, бкдет поддерживать связь по Bluetooth, значительно расширив его возможности. Например, с помощью стилуса можно будет управлять воспроизведением аудиотрэков, таймером и т.д.
Анонс Galaxy Note9 намечен на 9 августа в Нью-Йорке.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Official Render Confirms Design Rumors

Here’s a good look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. This is a tablet that has been widely reported on in the last few months and one that’s expected to launch soon enough. Up until now, however, almost no leaked images have come through. To remedy this situation, here’s an official press render which provides a very clean look at the front and back of the new Galaxy Tab S4. The image was provided to AndroidHeadlines by a reliable source.
Previously, it had been suggested the Galaxy Tab S4 will launch in two colors, black and gray. While AndroidHeadlines cannot speak of the latter, this image does confirm black will certainly be one of the main color options when the tablet becomes available. From the back, there seems to be very little difference when comparing the new model to the Galaxy Tab S3 as they both sport the same overall design, and the same rear camera placement. Although the logo on the back of the device has changed somewhat as it has now moved further down. Resulting in the “Tuned by AKG” logo seen on the Tab S3 replaced with “Samsung | Tuned by AKG.” This paints a slightly different picture to the recent FCC image that surfaced which now suggests the one used in the FCC filing was more likely a Tab S3 placeholder image. The power and volume buttons on the side remain in an identical position to the previous model. No change.
The front of the Galaxy Tab S4 is another story altogether. As this is where some very obvious changes can be seen. Firstly, the Galaxy Tab S4 is all about the display as the screen is now far more prominent than on any earlier Galaxy Tab S model. Previous rumors have pointed to a 10.5-inch panel, and if correct, this would mean the display is bigger than that found on the Galaxy Tab S3 (9.7-inches). Again, if correct, then it seems likely this tablet does not feature a traditional aspect ratio as the display-to-overall-size difference does not tally with the Galaxy Tab S3. The knock-on effects of this are equally as important to note, as in addition to the display stretching out to cover more of the front of the device, all of the other front-facing elements (bar the camera) have vanished when compared to the Galaxy Tab S3. This means no “Samsung” logo on the top bezel. One of the reasons for this might be the inclusion of an iris scanner. This is a feature that had previously been rumored for the Galaxy Tab S4, and although this should not be taken as a confirmation – it does very much look like an iris scanner is on show with this latest render – positioned in a similar place to where it’s located on the Galaxy S smartphone line.
More notably, however, is the seemingly complete absence of a home button on the chin. While the Samsung logo may be present when the finished product is unveiled, based on the image provided, the chin does not look sufficiently large enough to comfortably house a home key. So, it seems highly unlikely a physical home button will be on offer with the new model. This would mark a major design departure for the Galaxy Tab S line, and one which immediately raises another question – what about the fingerprint sensor? Previously, it had been expected the Tab S4 would feature a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button, although without a physical home key, that seems less likely to be the case. Of course, Samsung may opt for an under-display fingerprint sensor, and especially as it seems as though virtual buttons are going to be in use. But if that is the case, then it would be a very big feature for the Galaxy Tab S4 as Samsung has yet to launch a product with an under-display fingerprint sensor. While the Galaxy Note 9 is coming up and expected to launch either with or before the Tab S4, the rumors on the Galaxy Note 9 seem very undecided on whether the new phone will feature the under-display solution or not. Based on this image, however, it would seem clear the Galaxy Tab S4 either does feature an under-display sensor, or it does not have a sensor at all. While a side-mounted fingerprint reader embedded into the tablet’s power button may be possible in theory — given how both Sony and Motorola managed to commercialize this type of solution in the past — it seems less likely here as there seems to be no deviation in the size of the power key compared to the previous model.
At present, there is nothing new to add when it comes to the specs but drawing on the rumors that have come through to date, the Galaxy Tab S4 is expected to feature 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, a 7,300 mAh capacity battery, and Android 8.1 (Oreo). This is in addition to a 13-megapixel rear camera, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. While most of these can be considered natural improvements considering what the Galaxy Tab S3 offered, the Galaxy Tab S4 is also slated to come loaded with some additional features, such as Samsung DeX support. In spite of Samsung already having announced an August 9 product launch, most indications point to an IFA 2018 unveiling for the Galaxy Tab S4.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Case Renders Surface to Reveal Front and Rear Design

The design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is not a big secret as recent reports have revealed its appearance would be very similar to the Galaxy Note 8 from last year. Fresh renders of the Note 9 have surfaced today to reveal its front and rear design.
The design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is not a big secret as recent reports have revealed its appearance would be very similar to the Galaxy Note 8 from last year. Fresh renders of the Note 9 have surfaced today to reveal its front and rear design.
Samsung will be bringing design changes on the Galaxy S10 as it will be arriving as the 10th anniversary Galaxy S smartphone from the company. The Note 10 arriving later in 2019 is likely to sport an enhanced design too.
Coming back to the Galaxy Note 9, it will be arriving with some improved internals. Leaks that have surfaced in the past few months have revealed specs like 6.4-inch S-AMOLED Infinity Display, Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810 SoC, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of RAM, dual camera with variable aperture and 4,000mAh battery. There could be an 8 GB RAM variant with 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage.
The S Pen stylus of the Note 9 is expected to carry support for Bluetooth connectivity that will make it possible to use it to do non-stylus related tasks like controlling music playback and long-range selfie timer.
