Samsung had a lot to reveal for IFA 2020, but it wasn’t quite done after the deluge of phones and tablets.

The tech firm has introduced a 5G version of its Galaxy Book Flex that will keep the 2-in-1 laptop online wherever you go — when it’s safer to travel, anyway. This is Samsung’s first 5G-equipped notebook.

It’s a significant upgrade even if you stay at home. The new Flex is one of the first laptops using Intel’s 11th Gen Core processors, which promise significant leaps in performance without compromising on battery life. Samsung didn’t outline the exact processors in use, but they’ll be higher-end Core i5 and i7 models with Intel’s speedier Xe integrated graphics. You can also expect Thunderbolt 4 support.

The new Flex also adds a 13MP rear-facing camera. It’s pitched as ideal for taking photos of notes and recipes without reaching for your phone, but it should also be helpful for video chats where you want to share more than your face. A “720p” front-facing camera is still in place.

This is also one of the first laptops to earn Intel’s Evo badge, the successor to Project Athena. On top of the specs, the Evo label guarantees at least nine hours of battery life with a 1080p screen, waking from sleep in less than a second, responsiveness on battery power, and fast charging that provides up to four hours of extra runtime in less than 30 minutes.

The system is otherwise much like the Galaxy Book Flex you remember, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The 13.3-inch system boasts  an S Pen (with the latest version of Samsung Notes), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to a 512GB solid-state drive. It’s light for a laptop at just under 2.8lbs, although that puts it on the heavier side for tablets.

Samsung hasn’t detailed where the Flex 5G will ship or how much it costs, although you can safely presume it will carry a premium over standard models. Given how few 5G laptops (let alone convertibles) are on the market, though, that extra cost might be justifiable if you expect to be away from Wi-Fi in the future.

GlobeOne and Globe At Home apps—which are designed to provide answers to frequently asked questions, and process requests—can help customers save time and effort as they can just stay at home while managing their accounts.

Both prepaid and postpaid subscribers can check and manage their load and plans. The app also allows them to pay for their credit card, electricity, water bills and even loans, accommodations, and airline tickets with GCash on the platform. 

Globe At Home, meanwhile, allows prepaid WiFi users to check prepaid balance, track data usage, top-up promo, or Share-A-Promo to a Prepaid WiFi account.

Postpaid customers may view and pay bills online, track data usage, upgrade plan, get more data via volume boost, access the troubleshooting guide, schedule a repair, request for reconnection, and request transfer of location.

OPPO F17 and F17 Pro with slim designs and AI Night Charging now official

OPPO today revealed the F17 and F17 Pro mid-range Android smartphones.

OPPO F17 Pro front and back

Slim and "smart" phones

The two phones highlight fresh designs with special curvatures at the back and frame for a more comfortable hold as well as super-slim 7.5mm frames.

Slim profiles

In front, OPPO F17 Pro sports a Gorilla Glass 3+ 6.43-inch Super AMOLED screen with FHD+ 2400 x 1080 resolution, 20:9 screen aspect ratio, In-Display fingerprint reader, and a small pill-shaped punch-hole housing two front cameras.

Different colorways of F17 series

The company boasts that this screen can HD video from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The punch-hole houses the 16MP main + 2MP depth dual-cam with AirGestures to answer calls and control your phone. For photo, it has the AI Super Clear Portrait which restores facial features in supposedly blurry photos.

Under the hood, it is powered by the 12nm MediaTek Helio P95 AI SoC paired with 8GB RAM, 128GB expandable storage, and 4,000mAh battery with USB-C 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0.

OPPO said that 5 minutes of charge is equivalent to 2 hours of YouTube playback and 36 minutes of PUBG gaming. A full charge from 0 to 100 percent will only require you 53 minutes of charging. It even has an AI Night Charging solution which leaves the 80 to 100 percent charge before waking up to prevent battery degradation.

For back cameras, it goes with a 48MP f/1.8 + 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide + 2MP mono + 2MP mono quad-cam setup with fun bokeh effects for black and white background.

Meanwhile, OPPO F17 uses a 6.4-inch AMOLED FHD+ waterdrop display, 16MP selfie camera, 8nm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 4GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, and 4,000mAh battery with 30W VOOC charging.

There's no word yet regarding their official pricing and availability.
