The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....
For some time there have been rumors about BlackBerry’s new release - that goes by the name “BlackBerry Krypton” (pretty powerful name huh?) floating around , I haven't really known much about the upcoming product except its month of launch … Until now that is.
Recently renowned leaker Mr. Evan Blass put a face (so to speak) to our thoughts, guesses and rumors on Twitter with the name BlackBerry “Motion”. His Twitter handle put out the photo accompanied with the text “Goodbye, Krypton. Hello, BlackBerry Motion”. Why that name? I can’t say for sure but it could be guessed that it probably has something to do with a specially featured function.
Now down to her looks, as gotten from the photo of our dear leaker Mr. Blass. Much like its earlier released sibling –The BlackBerry DTEK50, her creators have forgone the physical keyboard (a signature feature design of BB’s for years) could this be the norm for BlackBerry’s succeeding devices? Might be, might not be. But personally the former would be preferred, I can’t say but it could be they probably finally decided to go with the flow as that’s the common factor among most of the smartphones of today –full touch screen displays and the absence of the physical keyboard/pad.
The device’s bezel is seen to have more angular vertices as opposed to the DTEK50’s which is more rounded. The phone judging from the leaked photos are not really anything to go crazy over (that’s as far as I’m willing to go on judging the looks as there hasn’t been an “in-hand” observation). As of now we know little concerning the phone except what Mr. Francois Mahieu, BlackBerry’s managing director said about the arriving gadget last August –that the device would be not just water but dust resistant (‘cuz you don’t want to go sand boarding without that extra resistance, added to those features will be what BlackBerry spiced up the DTEK50 with –top-tier security.
Whatever other information we may have on the device now is based on speculation. But going by CrackBerry’s info, it may have a 1920×1080 display, either a 625 or 626 Snapdragon processor, 4gb RAM and a 4000mAh battery (which hopefully should make a difference from the in terms of its the poor battery performance) as it was claimed by BlackBerry’s Mahieu to come raging with 26 hours of battery life on moderate to heavy usage, which again if we’re to go by this info would mean BlackBerry threw in a bit of effort into the product.
There’s the possibility of a home button with a fingerprint sensor which seems to be validated by the photo posted by Blass on Twitter. BlackBerry has enjoyed a good season on their most recent launches the DTEK twins (or probable series to be) and the KEYone(an android blooded BB smartphone with physical keys) In all, the device hasn’t given me enough reason (mostly due to lack of sufficient Intel on the gadget) to think that it could hold its own as a worthy rival against other flagship phones but BlackBerry is fairly fresh in this field (I mean in the full touch screen smartphone production) so seeing their “try outs” would give them away. But with its official unveiling we just might witness something that will stun us and win from us the praise deserving of itself and its creators.
