(Update: press images leaked) 2017 Galaxy A series likely to be unveiled on January 5

Update, December 29: WinFuture.de published press renders of the Galaxy A3 (2017)

and Galaxy A5 (2017). Check them out below.
Original post, December 28: We all love to talk about flagships, but when it comes to actually buying phones, most of us actually settle for the middle of the range. In Samsung’s case, that means the popular Galaxy A series, whose latest generation is about to be unveiled.
Samsung Malaysia, the branch that recently teased the water resistance capabilities of the Galaxy A (2017) series, just sent out invitations for a local press event scheduled for January 5 (via Lowyat.net).
Southeast Asia is a crucial market for Samsung’s mid-range sales, so there’s a good chance the Kuala Lumpur event will mark the global launch of the device. Incidentally or not, Samsung’s CES 2017 conference will kick off just hours after the Malaysian event on January 5.
The copy is rather generic, but the invitation features the same water imagery that led us to believe that the Galaxy A (2017) will be water resistant, just like Samsung’s higher-end devices.
The current A series was launched almost exactly a year ago, so the timing is right for a new generation. The Galaxy A5 (2017) will be available in four colors at launch and come with features like a 5.2-inch Full HD display, an Exynos 7880 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 16MP camera. The A5 (2017) is likely to cost around $400, according to reports out of China. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A7 (2017) is expected to come with similar specifications and a larger 5.5-inch display.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
