According to the latest leaks, Samsung plans to bring its Infinity display to mid-range smartphones. The leak came from reputed Samsung tipster, mmddj_china on his Twitter handle revealing that the Galaxy A (2018) series will feature Infinity Display.

We've seen LG doing wonders with its mid-tier Q6 series. Of course, Samsung is saving the Next Galaxy A series for the year 2018. Additionally, Samsung could implement the fingerprint sensor on the back, slightly below from the camera like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus.

The A7 (2018) is going to be powered by an unknown 2.1GHz octa-core processor with Mali-G71 GPU, 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system.

Just like its predecessor, the Galaxy A7 (2018) will sport a 16-megapixel rear and 16-megapixel front-facing camera. That said, the device will likely feature IP68 water and dust resistance.

That said, all these are just rumors, so take them with a grain of salt.

 By Vaibhav Jain on September 24, 2017       

Nokia is all set to reveal its trump card, the Nokia 9 with almost Bezel-less display, dual camera, and other 2017 flagship features. We haven't seen any possible renders or live images of the Nokia 9, but that's going to change today, thanks to an alleged leak from baidu.

As you can see in the below and above Sketch (Sort of), the Nokia 9 looks gorgeous with bent display just like what we've seen in the Galaxy Note Edge. The device looks promising with tiny top and bottom chin.

One thing that is worth noticing is that the Nokia 9 will be having rear fingerprint sensor instead of front fingerprint+home buttons, which can be found in previous Nokia Smartphones including the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 8.

This leaked design is very likely going to be the real deal, as it came from trusted Nokia leaker Nokibar. That said, Nokia is expected to reveal the Nokia 9 along with the Nokia 2 later this year.

Recently Nokia announced the Nokia 8 with Outdated 5.3-inch QHD IPS display with huge chin and top bezels. It is powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The phone comes dual rear cameras with Zeiss Optics, Splashproof (IP54), OZO 360-degree Audio, and includes USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. The phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Nokia 9 is going to be the same as the Nokia 8 in terms of Specs. However, the devices will differ in terms of design. Yes, the Nokia 9 is going to be much more expensive than the Nokia 8. Thoughts?
