While the Galaxy Z Flip 3 introduces cutting-edge technology installations such as dust and water resistance and higher refresh rate display, Xiaomi’s first clamshell foldable phone could bring the futuristic under-display camera functionality if the concept is true.

On the back, the Xiaomi Flip has a dual-camera system inside a large module, which also contains the secondary AKA outer display. Going further with the concept, the upcoming Chinese clamshell folding phone could be introducing a slightly larger rear display than the Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Samsung is the leader when it comes to futuristic yet premium displays and the foldable phone market. Its third-gen Galaxy Z Fold 3 device comes with an under-display camera, which the Galaxy Z Flip 3 still has a punch hole selfie camera on the front.

Notably, the Pixel 9 series is expected to come with substantial improvements, while the Pixel XL is also making a comeback.

Recently, OnLeaks in collaboration with 91Mobiles has shared renders of the Google Pixel 9 that show sleek and small design. As per the details, the design of the standard Pixel 9 smartphone seems to be identical to what we have seen in Pixel 9 Pro renders, with a compact body and thick camera module.

The smartphone looks compact with a boxy design, flat frame, centre-aligned punch-hole cutout display, and curved corners. The big difference Pixel 9 renders show is the dual camera setup, yes, this device has just two cameras, whereas the previously leaked Pixel 9 Pro and other Pixel 9 offers three.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

Earlier we heard that the South Korean tech giant is planning to use an Exynos chipset for this year’s clamshell device the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Meanwhile, a recent report suggests that Samsung’s devotion to Exynos could also be seen in the upcoming tablet lineup – Galaxy Tab S10.

According to the information, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series is being considered for dual deployment with Exynos. Samsung usually launches its S series phones in two SoC variants depending on markets, and in 2024, this same strategy seems to be applied to all flagship Galaxy models.

As a source states, the Galaxy S Series, Galaxy Z Series, and Galaxy Tab Series released in 2024 appear to have a basic direction of Exynos and Snap dualization. Similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung seems to be actively considering dualization through Exynos for the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup.

This dualization of Exynos and Snapdragon will further allow the South Korean tech giant to have more control over the hardware and software integration, resulting in optimized performance and an enhanced user experience.
