Apple iPhone trio details leak, may support reverse wireless charging and Apple Pencil

With just ten more days to go before their official announcement, it would appear that the specifications for the iPhone trio have leaked in full. The three phones will be called the Apple iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. This is in line with previous rumours that suggested that Apple would go with the Pro moniker for this year’s iPhones.

The first phone in this year’s lineup is rumoured to be the iPhone 11, the direct successor to the iPhone XR. According to the leaked specs, it would come with a 6.1-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1792x828. The phone is expected to sport a glass design and come packing a 3110mAh battery. This time around, rumours suggest that the iPhone 11 would come with dual 12-megapixel cameras on the rear.

The next is the Pro duo, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. These phones are expected to have a 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED display respectively. Camera duties will be spread across three shooters, each with a 12megapixel sensor, although we’re not sure what the lens configuration will be like. An educated guess points towards the possibility of Apple finally adding an ultra-wide-angle lens to its existing camera stack. The two Pro models are expected to bring support for the Apple Pencil, reverse wireless charging and a frost glass design.

Sadly, the iPhone 11 won’t get reverse charging or the Apple Pencil support, but all three phones, according to the leak, will support WiFi 6. While the iPhone 11 will sport 4GB RAM and the Pro models 6GB of RAM, all three phones will be powered by Apple’s new A13 SoC.

Apple’s keynote is scheduled for September 10, according to the invite that the company had sent out a few days earlier. We have come to expect leaks to be more or less reliable so close to the launch. However, it is best to take everything with a pinch of salt and wait to hear everything from the horse’s mouth directly on September 10.

Samsung Galaxy A90 leak suggests 5G support

Samsung has been rather ambitious abut its smartphone roadmap this year, having launched as many phones this year as months. After announcing the Samsung Galaxy A80, and bringing it to market a little later than expected, rumuors around the next phone in the A-series have started to pick up. It would appear that the next product in the A-series will be the Samsung Galaxy A90 and will support 5G.

Twitter user @mmddj_ has tweeted official-looking slides that allegedly promote the Samsung Galaxy A90 5G. The image shows a white colour smartphone with a triple camera setup on the back aligned vertically to the left. This means that the rotating concept for the camera is not making a comeback no the A90 5G.

The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G is rumoured to be a 6.7-inch smartphone with an AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. The primary camera on the back is expected to be a 48MP shooter, accompanied by an 8MPO ultra-wide camera and a third 5MP sensor which is likely to be for collecting depth information.

What is really interesting is that based on a Geekbench listing, the Samsung Galaxy A90 would be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, making it the most powerful smartphone in the A-series. If this is indeed true, this would be the first Samsung smartphone to be sold globally with a flagship QUALCOMM SoC, given that Samsung’s flagship phones ship with Exynos in most countries around the world. Samsung could be going with the Snapdragon 855 chipset for the 5G radio compatibility.

As of now, there is no official word on when the Samsung Galaxy A90 would be making its way to the market.

Gmail gets new easy account switching gesture on Android

Before rolling out new gestures with the Android 10 update, Google has been subtly updating its apps with gestural navigation. Now, the tech giant has updated Gmail for Android with an easy account switching gesture that is making users with multiple Google accounts very happy. It also updated the Google Drive app earlier this week, and added a similar feature. The same gesture feature was also rolled out to Google Maps, recently.

Instead of opening the menu and selecting another account, users with multiple accounts can now simply slide up or slide down on the account profile icon in the top corner to switch between accounts. This new feature helps make the always present user avatar that identifies what account you’re using even more useful. 

The switch-to-switch gesture first appeared in Google Maps. It then made its way to Google Drive, and the Google Contacts app. While Drive has a sliding cards animation on switching accounts, Gmail does not have that kind of animation.

It is worth noting that the very useful fast-switching feature has been available on iOS for quite sometime now. 

The 2019.08.18 build of Gmail for Android also brings some signs of an upcoming dark mode. Google will be introducing a system-wide dark mode with Android 10. Hence, Gmail interface for Android is expected to get a dark interface soon too. However, right now, the widget and splash screen now match system dark mode, but the main interface remains white.

9To5Google has spotted, “If the system-level Dark Theme is enabled on Android 10 (Night mode on Pie), the widget switches to a dark gray background. Meanwhile, the folder name and compose email button adopts a very light shade of red.”

Gmail for Android switch gesture is now rolling out via the Play Store. If it is yet to appear for you then you can also download the new version from APK Mirror.
