Samsung’s tenth anniversary Galaxy S10, which has been codenamed ‘Beyond’ will not come in three variants. Instead, a report in The Wall Street Journal has suggested that the smartphone will have four variants. Among these, the fourth one that has just newly been discovered is codenamed ‘Beyond X’ and it will come with six cameras, sport a 6.7-inch display and come with 5G connectivity.
Earlier, reports had suggested that Samsung has been working on such a smartphone for its Galaxy S10 series, but it was expected to be one among the three that were being talked about. The fact that there is a fourth device in the lineup has newly surfaced.
The other three models of Samsung Galaxy S10 are expected to sport displays that range from 5.8-inches to 6.4-inches in size. They are also said to feature three to five cameras in total.
The Wall Street Journal report further said that the Android smartphone will come with six cameras in total — four on the back panel and two selfie cameras. The cameras are said to come with more zoom options and provide more depth information, that will result in smarter background defocus modes or portrait modes. They will also come with AR apps.
Other reports about Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup say that the range will have a budget model and one among the smartphones will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor and ‘punch-hole’ selfie camera, which looks like the Infinity O display that the company showcased at its developer conference.
Samsung is also said to be adding reverse wireless charging technology to its smartphones. This would mean that Galaxy S10 models would be able to share their battery life with other devices. We earlier saw this technology in Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro mobile.
The report in The Wall Street Journal said the entire S10 lineup would be announced by Samsung in mid-February. The three models will hit the market before the fourth ‘Beyond X’ does. This is because the smartphone model will come with 5G connectivity, meaning that it wouldn’t be shipped till 5G networks are available, which may extend till next spring.

Note: Different countries term different SAR values as safe for humans. European Union and International Electrotechnical Commission allow smartphones with up to 2 watts per kilogram of SAR level. In the US, the FCC only approves of SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram and India follows this model, but other factors are taken into consideration too. On the other hand, Der Blaue Engel, a German certification for products and services on the basis of environmental friendliness, only certifies smartphones that have lesser than 0.60 watts per kilogram of absorption rate.

Probably the most popular game of the year award should go to PUBG. So much has been written about it and it happens to be among the favourites of every hard-core gamer. PUBG is basically an acronym for PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds. Just like the PC version, it is a free survival shooter in which you get dropped on an island with 99 other players and the goal is to survive till the end. Download
We totally love this game. There’s hardly anything more relaxing than playing Alto’s Adventure. The game only has one-touch controls and you have to get past various obstacles while collecting coins, magnets and leafs. If you have played Temple Run or the mobile version of Super Mario, you’ll be reminded of them in a way. But what we liked was the day-to-night transitions and the sound effects that make you feel like you are actually there. Put on headphones while playing the game if you really want to immerse yourself in it. Download
Now this is a game that hardly ever lasts more than 10 minutes. You need to find your weapons and shields and then hide and wait for your opponents to step out. You can also make some in-app purchases to make the game even more fun. Download
This is a first person shooter game. It has a base camp where you can buy weapons, a place to gamble to get currency that you can use in the game, a even a black market where you can get new items. The game has a totally futuristic look you can make a number of in-app purchases if you wish. Download
Heart Star is a very interesting game. In most games, we are supposed to control one player. Here, we have to control two. The levels are like mazes and two characters have to be controlled so that both can reach their respective exit. The difficulty level goes up as the levels increase but on the upside, there are no penalties. Download here.
If you have been playing other Asphalt games, chances are that you have tried this one already. It’s basically a new version of the same car racing game where you get to drive the fanciest of cars in locations like Miami, San Francisco and even Himalayas. The mission is to beat everyone else. We have always enjoyed Asphalt racing games by Gameloft, and this one is no exception. Download
The concept of Plague is highly unconventional. You basically are in control of an epidemic and you have to make sure it spreads throughout the world before anyone can find a cure for it. In other words, you are out there to kill everyone and you can use tools to add symptoms, increase methods of communicability, etc. There is also a newsfeed where you can keep a tab of the effects of the epidemic you are spreading. Download
In The Battle of Polytopia, you have to take over the world and in order to fulfill your mission, you can pick from different races that come with their own weaknesses and strengths, update your technologies, and unlock new units. You can play the game alone against the AI or invite your friends to play with you. Download
In Vainglory, you can either play a quick match or a lengthy battle depending on the time you have. You will get over 30 characters to choose from. Download
In the original Hero Academy, you get to choose from different armies and fight a battle with your friends. Hero Academy 2 is an enhanced version of the same but comes with better animations and graphics and more difficult challenges. Download
