Samsung Galaxy A70 Brings a Massive AMOLED Display, 4,500 mAh Battery and Triple Rear Cameras

Even as the Galaxy A10, A20 and A30 are still only weeks old, Samsung has announced the Galaxy A70, a more high-end mid-range device with a large battery and a unique aspect ratio.

Just like the other new Galaxy A series phones, this one has a notch – this time around it’s an Infinity-U notch on an expansive 6.7-inch display with 20:9 aspect ratio. You also get three rear cameras, a 32-megapixel selfie camera, and a massive 4,500mAh battery.

While Samsung does not mention the SoC being used in the Galaxy A70, it does say it has an octa-core processor (in a 2.0GHz dual core + 1.7GHz hexa core configuration). We really wish Samsung would just own up the SoC variant in specs sheet as keeping consumers in the dark rarely helps with creating a good impression. What we know is it will have 6GB or 8GB RAM options, up to 128GB of storage with the option to expand up to 512GB, with a dedicated microSD card slot.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 sports a 3D Glasstic design just like the Galaxy A50, which we were quite impressed with. That massive display is a Super AMOLED panel with 1080×2400 pixels resolution.

For the cameras, the A70 brings a 32-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor (f/2.2 aperture, 123 degrees), and a 5-megapixel third depth sensor (f/2.2 aperture) as well. It’s a fairly familiar combination as we saw this in the Galaxy A7 and A9 last year, but with different resolutions. Up front, there is a 32-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture inside the minimal notch.

It’s not just that the A70 has a 4,500mAh battery, but it’s also backed by Super-Fast charging at 25W, which is just great. Another thing going for the Galaxy A70 is that it runs on the latest Samsung One UI software based on Android Pie. And if you are looking for trendy features, well it has an in-display fingerprint scanner instead of the traditional rear sensor. Samsung said it will announce more at ‘A Galaxy Event’ which is set for April 10. There are not pricing or availability details announced just yet.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,”  Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities.  “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
