IPhone XR 2 Sighting Leaks, Show Dual-Camera Setup

Technology-Portfolio.Net - Rumors that have been circulating lately say if Apple will announce the successor of the iPhone XR later this year. According to reports, it has been suggested that the iPhone XR 2 will carry a dual-camera setup. Now thanks to a series of rendering and videos made by @OnLeaks for Pricebaba, it seems that the rendering justifies the rumors circulating beforehand.

Based on the video rendering below, it seems that Apple can continue the previous design in the second generation of the XR series. That way, the iPhone XR will display different colorful choices with the design of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max that are darker. What's interesting about this rendering also shows that in addition to the dual camera design, the iPhone XR 2 can actually support the setting of a square camera on the back similar to the iPhone 11 which is scheduled to be launched later this year. This makes the three models appear with similar designs.

Regardless of whether or not Apple will carry such a design for the iPhone XR 2 which will launch later this year, at least it seems to be in line with the previous rendering. In addition, this time rendering looks like what you would expect from the successor to the iPhone XR. Not surprisingly, Apple is considering making more iPhone XR handsets. While devices such as the iPhone SE or iPhone 5c which were both designed as cheaper options did not fully succeed, and the iPhone XR seemed to enjoy a little success.

This is largely due to the fact that Apple's latest iPhone is priced at $ 1,000 USD, which means that customers prefer to exclude certain features on the latest iPhone to be able to get more affordable devices and XR models to be the solution.

Will Apple Present Two New Color Options for iPhone XR 2?

Technology-Portfolio.Net - As we know, for the 2018 iPhone model then Apple presents the XR model as a more affordable model. Although this model is not made of premium material, but one of the attractions of this model is the use of colors that are brighter than the iPhone XS and XS Max. If you like such a model, there is good news that Apple might introduce new colors to the successor to this year's iPhone XR.

According to a report from Mac Otakara, they heard the news that the iPhone XR 2 will come in two new color choices that were not available in the XR model last year. This new color will come in the form of Green and Lavender, but it seems that in the process, it can end up replacing the two existing color choices, namely Coral and Blue.

It is not clear why the colors will be replaced, but maybe the sale of the color is not so good, so Apple decided to replace it. The choice of color may seem rather trivial, but the choice of color is actually important and that we can see in the past when Apple launched the rose gold version of the iPhone that seems to be specially made considering the Chinese market.

In addition to the new color choices, the iPhone XR 2 also carries a dual camera setup, which will make smartphones even more attractive because it doesn't need to spend a lot of money to have a dual-camera smartphone from Apple that was only available on the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models.

The Samsung Exynos 5100 chip has been equipped with 5G technology. This chip will be used for what smartphone?.

Most likely this 5G chip will be used for the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G smartphone. As is known, the Samsung Galaxy S10 currently does not support 5G networks.

The Exynos 5100 chip supports 5G multi-mode. But it's not just this chip that's ready for mass production.

The Exynos chip will also be used on the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Smartphone. This smartphone itself is prepared to be released soon.

In essence, the 5G chip from Samsung will bring 5G technology to their latest smartphone, including the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.

Apple Will Present iPhone 2020 With Three Different Screen Sizes

Technology-Portfolio.Net - Although Apple has not launched the iPhone 2019, but leaks about the iPhone 2020 have started to appear. According to reports from industry insiders, Apple will announce three iPhones by 2020 with a new screen size than before and all use OLED panels.

The iPhone 2020 screen will range from 5.42 inches which is quite compact to 6.06 inches and the Max model will have a 6.67-inch screen. The smallest size will replace the iPhone 8 with a 4.7-inch screen, and for the 6.06-inch model will replace the iPhone XS 5.8 inches and the 6.67-inch model will replace the iPhone XS Max 6.5 inches.

If this report proves to be reliable, it is very possible that the new iPhone will not be much larger than the current iPhone model because the increase in screen size will trim the bezel and maintain the dimensions.

Reports about Apple's plans to move using an OLED screen have been heard before. Reportedly, the iPhone 2019 model will use all OLEDs, but it seems that Apple is really ready to use OLED panels for all iPhones by 2020. This means that this year we will likely get the successor to the iPhone XR which still uses LCD and two iPhone OLEDs with ultra cameras -wide for the third lens.

One interesting thing, 2018 is the additional year the iPhone "S" and 2019 are expected to present the iPhone 11, which means that Apple will bring a redesign of the iPhone alignment in 2020, which is usually the year "S". Aple did miss the S series when it moved from iPhone 7 to iPhone 8 and iPhone X so that it would never happen before if you did it again.

Google Release Android Q Beta 2, Bring Notification ‘Bubbles’

Technology-Portfolio.Net - When the Android Q Developer Preview was launched last month, it was discovered that Google could consider introducing new features to manage notifications in the form of "chat heads". For those who don't know it yet, this is a kind of Facebook that introduces the concept of chat heads which is a floating icon on the home screen, where users can tap to chat quickly with their friends.

The advantage of this feature is that chat heads always exist and are on top of existing applications, saving users time rather than having to go back and forth to change applications. Now it seems like the feature has been confirmed in Android Q's second beta. On the Google Android Developers blog, the company announced a new feature they called "Bubbles".

It seems that the feature will function in the same way as chat heads, except that this will work in more applications and notifications. According to Google, "Bubbles is great for sending messages because it allows users to keep important chats in easy reach. They also provide a comfortable view of tasks and ongoing updates, such as telephone calls or time of arrival. They can provide quick access to portable UI such as notes or translations, and can also be a reminder of tasks. "

It seems that it can be an interesting and more convenient way to deal with notifications, although we imagine that some users might not appreciate these bubbles floating on their home screens all the time. However, Android Q is still in beta so for everything we know at the moment, this feature might not be available in the final version.
