India Samsung Galaxy A80 price, release date confirmed, look out OnePlus 7 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy A80.
Although the Samsung Galaxy A80 is already available in certain countries (such as the United Kingdom), it has yet to land in India. That will change soon though, as we now have confirmed details for the Galaxy A80’s arrival (via Android Central).
The Samsung Galaxy A80 will hit store shelves in India on August 1, only a few days before the global launch of another Samsung smartphone. The price for the Galaxy A80 is set at 47,990 rupees (~$697).
The Galaxy A80 launched in April of this year and is notable as being the only device in Samsung’s new “A” series to have a slider mechanism. The top half of the back of the device mechanically slides up when you put the camera app into selfie mode. While that happens, the triple rear camera setup also flips around which allows you to use the same camera array for selfies as you would using the phone’s default camera mode.
This innovative system also allows the front of the phone to be all screen, with a screen-to-body ratio of nearly 86 percent and no notch or punch-hole cutout to be seen.
The Galaxy A80 comes with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, a Snapdragon 730 processor, a 3,700mAh battery, and Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box.
Interestingly, the OnePlus 7 Pro has some similar features: a pop-up selfie cam (although not a flip camera as on the A80), an all-screen display, lots of internal storage, tons of RAM, and interesting colorways. The 7 Pro, however, has a flagship processor (the Snapdragon 855), a larger battery (4,000mAh), and a Quad HD+ display resolution (the A80 is stuck with a Full HD+ resolution).
The 7 Pro has been on sale in India for months now with a starting price of 48,999 rupees (~$712), which is not too much more than what Samsung is asking for the A80. It will be interesting to see if Indian buyers will be tempted to save a relatively small amount of cash to buy the A80 over the 7 Pro and lose out on those higher-end features.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

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

Image
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
