Samsung announces world's first 5G modem - the Exynos 5100

By
     Samsung has been working on its 5G modem for some time now and was first showcased during this year's CES. Today, the company formally announced the finished product and called it Exynos 5100. It's the companys's first 5G modem and complies to the 3GPP standards. Like the modem in the current Exynos 9810 chipset found in the Galaxy  S9 ,  S9+  and  Note9 , the Exynos 5100 modem is built on the 10nm manufacturing process supporting legacy networks like 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, HSPA, and 4G LTE within a single chip solution. What's more important, though, is that the modem is a fully capable 5G networking hardware supporting sub-6GHz and mmWave spectrum defined by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project).

Apple iPhone 11 render surface online; here’s what is new

By
Photo : Google Apple  will be releasing its next-generation iPhone later this year, however, this hasn’t stopped leaks from popping up online. Two new leaks have surfaced online, one is claiming to reveal an official render of the upcoming 2019 iPhone while the other one is an image of an assembly component that was stolen from Apple’s supply chain. Both of the leaks have been posted on Weibo. The new iPhone 11 image render once again confirms that the upcoming Apple iPhone 11 will feature a triple camera setup on the back in a triangle configuration. The image also shows off its Black and White colour options. In the other leak, we get to see an image of an assembly part, which was apparently stolen from the Foxconn factory. To recall, we saw schematics of the same part leaked by SlashLeaks a few days ago. The part consists of a large cut-out to house the camera setup.
