Samsung launches high-speed microSD cards
Samsung has launched a microSD card for tablets and LTE-capable smartphones that is said to be four times faster than the current SD cards. According to TheRegister, the UHS-1 (ultra high speed) interface card stores up to 16GB and pumps data out at up to 80MB/sec. According to a report from PanArmenian, it is built from 20 nanometer-class, 64 gigabit toggle DDR 2.0 NAND. The UHS-1 interface has been seen on full-size SD cards and has been used in digital SLR cameras as well as video recorders. Now, Samsung has transferred it to the microSD format.
Tablets like the range of Galaxy ones and iPads are closed devices with no memory expansion capabilities meanwhile with tablets like the Nook from Barnes & Noble, it does so it could use the microSD card provided cloud-based data streaming doesn’t become the norm, it would be a huge plus point. LTE phones on the other could be looking at something of a game changer with this blazing memory card and Samsung might already have plans for it. The Korean electronics giants paln to expand the card’s capacity with higher density products to create a 32GB card in the future but for now, mass production of the 16GB microSD UHS-1 has already started but the price and release date is still unknown.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
