The good news is that the tablet launches tomorrow, April 26 on AT&T. The Galaxy View 2 still isn’t live on AT&T’s website, but we’ll update this article with a link once it goes live.
The bad news is that the Galaxy View 2 won’t be cheap — $37 each month for 20 months through AT&T Next. That adds up to $740, which makes the Galaxy View 2 more expensive than the $600 original Galaxy View.
TL;DR
Samsung is reportedly working on a Galaxy S10 Plus variant with 5G connectivity. The phone is set to be produced in limited numbers, as 5G networks aren’t expected to be widespread in 2019. The company has previously released variants of its flagships with upgraded cellular connectivity. The push towards 5G is growing stronger, as more manufacturers conduct testing and target a 2019 release schedule. Now, it’s been reported that Samsung is working on a Galaxy S10 variant with 5G connectivity.
The phone has starred in a variety of leaks preceding the Berlin, Germany, media event, and we have seen many unconfirmed details about it in the past weeks, including plenty of leaked imagery – not to mention that Sony revealed various things about it with its teasers leading up to the event.
Thankfully, the phone is finally official, and we can check out its official specs sheet:
Size: 144 x 74 x 8.

But rumors and denials are part of our day-to-day tech news-reporting life, so we’ll just move on to the next bit of speculation regarding the Galaxy S4 because Android and Me has a very interesting report today.
Samsung is apparently already testing a Galaxy S3 successor that will be powered by a “new Cortex-A15 processor.” Naturally, we’d expect Samsung to deny such reports the first chance it gets, but meanwhile let’s focus on the Samsung TE4, as it was spotted by Rightware.
As was expected, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is another industry leading flagship smartphone, packing in some of the latest and greatest pieces of mobile tech. This time though, Samsung has opted to exclusively use its in-house Exynos 7420 SoC, rather than a Qualcomm processor as it has done in previous years. So, let’s delve into the specifics to see why Samsung has so much confidence in its latest SoC.
One of the Exynos 7420’s big talking points has been the move down to a 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, which puts Samsung ahead of Qualcomm’s 20nm Snapdragon 810.
Update, October 15 2019 (4:30AM ET): A carrier source has revealed to Droid Life that the Pixel 4 will cost $799 for the 64GB base variant in the US.

These prices are different from the ones mentioned in the original article below and are in line with last year’s Pixel 3 pricing.
Nevertheless, we’re just hours away from Google’s event so stay tuned for all the confirmed specs and pricing info.
