Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Highlight Features Tipped, Including Stereo Speakers
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is shaping up to be the foldable to beat in 2020
We're about a week away before Samsung unveils its Galaxy flagships for 2020, during which time, we hope to see its new foldable too. Information regarding the Galaxy Z Flip has been heavily leaked in the past few weeks, and now we have some more teasers about its possible highlight features. The outer display on the phone is reported to be called ‘Focus Display' and when unfolded, will have an aspect ratio of 22:9. There'll also be fast charging, including 12W fast wireless charging and stereo speakers. Samsung has also published a report about its Q4 2019 earnings, in which it states that it plans to expand its premium models by launching an “enhanced 5G lineup” and new foldable devices.
Ishan Agrawal's latest tweet reveals some of the key features of the Galaxy Z Flip. According to him, the phone will have a 1.05-inch Super AMOLED display that Samsung is said to call ‘Focus Display.' The internal display is said be 6.7 inches in size, with a full-HD+ resolution and a 22:9 aspect ratio. The phone is also tipped to have 15W wired fast charging and 12W wireless charging. The wired fast charging doesn't seem to be quick, but then again, it all depends on the size of the battery, which is tipped to have a 3,300mAh capacity. The latter is said to be split into two modules (one for each half of the foldable panel), with 925mAh and 2,375mAh split. Last but not least, it's also tipped to sport stereo speakers.
Agrawal also posted a render of the Galaxy Z Flip, similar to the one hat leaked a few days ago. He also mentions in a follow-up tweet, that the main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip will retain the dual-aperture feature from Samsung's existing flagship phones. The focus here, is said to be on design and should come in a Mirror Black and Purple trims, the latter shade having a prismatic effect.
Meanwhile, Samsung also posted its Q4 financial earnings report, where it mentioned its quarterly earnings improved significantly for the mobile business, due to strong sales of Galaxy flagships. The report further states that Samsung will focus its efforts on new flagships and more foldable devices, which means besides the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Fold 2, we could expect more models to arrive during the course of the year.

Poco X2 Teaser Video Tips Design Similarities to Redmi K30 Ahead of Launch
Poco X2 is set to launch in India on February 4
- Poco X2 is all set to launch on February 4, and in the run up to the launch, the company is releasing several teasers via its social handles to build the buzz. The most recent teaser video further indicates that the phone may be nothing but a rebranded version of the Redmi K30. To recall, Xiaomi introduced the Redmi K30 in China last December, but the phone hasn't been launched in India yet. Now, this fresh teaser indicates that the Redmi K30 may in fact arrive in the country as the Poco X2.
- The new teaser video of the Poco X2 shows glimpses of the phone in purple colour. The side fingerprint scanner on the power button is seen and a slight hue of the back cameras is also noticed. Whatever little is seen of the back cameras, the arrangement and design seems to be identical to the Redmi K30. All of this compels us to speculate that the Poco X2 may be the rebranded version of the Redmi K30. There's no certainty on this yet, and more teasers from the company should help us get more clarity. A live image leaks also seemed to suggest similarities to the Redmi K30The Poco X2 may see identical specifications to the Redmi K30 China variant, or there may be changes pertaining to the needs of the Indian markets. There's little official information regarding the Poco X2 as of now, and we expect the company to reveal everything on launch day next week. The Poco X2 is slated to launch at 12 noon IST on February 4, and be available on Flipkart.
- A recent teaser also suggests liquid cooling technology for a smooth gaming experience. The phone is also teased to support 27W fast charging support that will take just 25 minutes to reach from zero to 40 percent charge. Other teasers indicated the presence of 120Hz display, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
