Samsung S10 Lite Would Be The Only One In The Lineup To Come In Special Colors

New Galaxy S10 Lite leaks revealed in which color schemes the budget smartphone of the next year’s Samsung flagship series would boast, and it would be the only one in the lineup to come in special colors. It is clear why Samsung has decided to divide its anniversary Galaxy S lineup into four models. Namely, because of the Apple’s iPhone XR, a smartphone that, as we already know, has rolled out as a top device of the so-called budget range.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Specs And Prices

The Galaxy S10 Lite is expected to launch during the first quarter of 2019, most likely in February 2019, along with the other, more performant smartphones of the series, the Galaxy S10, with a 6.1-inch screen, and the Galaxy S10 Plus, with a 6.4-inch display. According to the latest information, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will boast a 5.8-inch Infinity-O display, which means it will reduce edges to their minimum while maintaining the “Edge” finish and showing a punch hole in the screen to hold the selfies camera.

Regarding its specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite would boast a Snapdragon 855 for North America (and an Exynos 9820 for other markets), 6 GB RAM, dual-camera system on its back (according to some latest rumors), 128 GB storage capacity, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

In theory, Galaxy S10 Lite would cost between $700 and $820, a quite affordable price, that would make it an attractive alternative to Apple’s iPhone XR.

Samsung S10 Lite Would Be The Only One In The Lineup To Come In Special Colors

Below, you can see in which color schemes the next year’s Samsung Galaxy S10 devices would come out. It is surprising to see that Galaxy S10 Lite is the only one that would come out in special colors:

  • Galaxy S10: black, white, green and blue;
  • Galaxy S10+: black, white, green and blue;

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Leaks Show That The Smartphone Would Boast Only Three Cameras On Its Back

According to some recently released rumors, the most extensive and most expensive variant of next year’s Samsung Galaxy S10 line-up, most probably the model dubbed as Galaxy S10 Plus, would come out with four cameras on its back. But, new Galaxy S10 leaks presented by Ice Universe suggest that the South Korean company is not going to release such a feature.

The new leaks from Ice Universe claim that the future Galaxy S10 Plus will be delivered with three cameras instead of four in the back as some rumored indicated. Also, information from Ice Universe suggests that the Galaxy S10 Plus will include three cameras on the back, while the cheaper Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite would only come out with two cameras.

According to Ice Universe, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Lite will both boast only a single selfies camera, while the Galaxy S10 Plus would come with a dual-camera system on the front, and would be the only one of the lineup to come out with such a feat.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Might Eventually Come Out With Three Cameras On Its Back, According To Ice Universe

While many rumors suggested a total of six cameras on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus variant, Ice Universe claimed that his information is legitimate.

The three-camera configuration will likely consist of a standard lens, a wide-angle lens, and a telephoto zoom lens, although Samsung has not yet confirmed this information.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S10 leaks indicating to an S10 Plus with four cameras on its back are coming out regularly. On the other hand, Ice Universe is a renowned leaker and, so far, he has been correct on many occasions. Only time will tell, so we’ll have to wait until February 2019 when Samsung will reveal the new Galaxy S10 lineup before the MWC 2019 event.

Google Chrome To Add A Dark Mode And Tab Grouping Feature

The developers of Google Chrome are already working on new features for the browser, and the latest information points to two important new features, in particular, namely, the arrival of a dark mode and tab grouping function. Recently, Google Chrome is available in a new version that added significant new features for the benefit of users, which are related to misleading advertising and the audio of specific videos on websites.

The two new features already being tested in Google Chrome have nothing to do with those mentioned above, but possibly one of them is of great interest to users, namely a dark mode theme for the most popular Internet browser.

Google Chrome To Add A Dark Mode

The first of the novelties that have been seen in Chromium and Chrome Canary trial versions is the new dark mode. Apparently, Google Chrome would adopt the dark mode it has planned to implement in macOS Mojave to Windows and Linux OSs. That is, the dark mode would reach all three operating systems at the same time through an internal code change in the macOS version, which would enable the official introduction of this dark theme in the Chrome for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The new design would color the whole browser in black, but with vivid color icons and typographies in white, so that everything is perfectly legible by the user.

It is not known yet when the dark mode for Google Chrome would come out, although, according to some images released online, it is clear that it will soon become a reality. Most likely, the new dark mode would come in Google Chrome in the first month of 2019.

A Tab Grouping Function Would Also Come In Google Chrome

Tabs have been a significant part of Google Chrome since its first version. They offer different options, such as the possibility of duplicating them or silencing them, among other features.

Tabs in Google Chrome have even slightly changed their design over time, but the novelty currently under works at Google would offer users the possibility of grouping tabs of similar content in a single one on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
