Galaxy S10 could include “swipe to selfie” feature

Galaxy S10 could have “swipe to selfie” feature

One of the highlights of Samsung’s imminent flagship will possibly also be it is most contentious. Never mind the notch, Samsung has moved out with a punch hole for the Galaxy S10 instead. Of course, it will do the whole thing it can to sell that feature, or misfeature if you will, like a spinning light or glow to indicate its attendance and activity. It turns out, it might also have another feature that apparently makes use of that dead space to immediately launch the camera app into Selfie mode.

This information isn’t exactly a leak, even though it comes from the @Ice universe. It is, instead, more conjecture based on such a feature that previously exists on the Galaxy A8s. And since that is Samsung first punch hole phone and supposed to be the Galaxy S10’s precursor, chances are the latter will have it too.

Although the hole for that camera is dead when it comes to pixels, it apparently still touches responsive. A less known feature of the Galaxy A8s is that you can swipe down from that punch hole to launch the camera app instantly in Selfie mode.

It’s definitely an expedient trick but doesn’t expect to execute it with one hand only. Depending on how you hold your phone, you’ll have to stretch out your thumb to perform the gesture. At best, it reduces what would usually be at least two to three taps into one swipe.

Is it leaving to help sell the punch hole design? Probably not. This hidden feature is less of justification and more of a compensation. But just as with the notch, perhaps users will finally get used to it and mentally become blind to it, particularly if more and more smartphone makers adopt the same design.

The Samsung Galaxy A8s is finally official. After numerous rumors and leaks, the South Korean tech giant has revealed the latest mid-range Galaxy phone that boasts of a new technology: a camera hole in the screen. This one is superior as it eliminates the requirement for a notch. You see, the company hasn’t fully accepted the notch design for achieving a larger screen real estate or a bezel-less display. The answer is a cut out on the screen to give mode for the selfie camera.

This isn’t the first of its kind as Honor beat Samsung with the declaration of the Honor View 20. Huawei is certainly fast when it comes to proclaiming new technologies. We were just saying the Huawei Nova 4 will be THE device to beat but it turned out to be the Honor View 20.

Huawei has earlier presented three new, advanced mobile technologies that include the Honor View 20’s “o” notch which we can compare now with the Infinity O cutout display of the Samsung Galaxy A8s.

Samsung’s Galaxy A8s comes equipped with a big screen with a 6.4-inch screen 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 1080 x 2340-pixel resolution, in-display camera, Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, 128GB onboard storing, and a microSD card slot for memory growth (up to 512GB). There is a 3400mAh battery, USB-C support, adaptive fast charging tech, and Samsung UI over Android 8.1 Oreo.

When it comes to imaging, there are three cameras at the back: 24MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture, a 10MP telephoto lens with f/2.4, and a 5MP depth-sensing camera with f/2.2 aperture. The selfie shooter is only one: 24MP with f/2.0 aperture.

Color selections are as follows: Green, Gray, and Blue. You can pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy A8s if you live in China beginning December 21.
