Casio has just established a new limited version version of its high-tech adventure view that operates on Wear OS.

The original Casio WSD F20 had been announced at CES 2017, and also this new form of the view (now called the Casio WSD F20SC) is better still for real adventurers, boasting a brand new and improved durable design.

In the event that you buy the WSD F20SC, you'll get all of the same features because the initial view but it possesses sapphire crystal display that'll mean it's even more resistant to scratches and bumps whenever you inadvertently hit it for a stone when away trekking.

It has exactly what Casio is calling its Field Composite Band, which the business claims will be more durable. The Casio website states it, "combines the elegant feel of steel with all the durability and wearability of urethane and fine resin."

It's adventure time

We have to agree with Casio considering we attempted this new version of the watch briefly at Baselworld 2018 and found it to still feel at ease and luxurious enough that it's not only for Bear Grylls types.

It comes down with all the same features due to the fact WSD F20, therefore it'll feature GPS along with offline maps for navigation whenever you're on trips alongside the normal Wear OS features you'd expect for a Google view.

In the event that you already have the most recent view from Casio, it's not likely you'll wish to upgrade for this only for its somewhat stronger design. This won't replace the WSD F20 from Casio range either – it's a really restricted edition item.

It'll be available for sale from Casio's site at some time in belated June, but you will find just 700 units of this WSD F20SC. If you would like one, you'll need to be quick so we don't currently understand if it'll be around in all markets.

The initial form of this watch costs $500 (around £400, AU$680), but as this is often a restricted edition run we anticipate the cost would have been a at the very least a feeling greater whenever it's released later on this year.

Update: A new report recommends the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 might have an in-screen fingerprint scanner after all, and there's additionally growing evidence that the phone could introduce slightly earlier in the day into the 12 months than its predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 could be the next really big smartphone from Samsung now that this has launched the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, and we've gotten our S Pen out to declare which rumors sound plausible and that are simply wishful reasoning.

The Note 9 is poised to be the massively sized change to your Galaxy Note 8, but that's not saying it'll be a massive update to final year's phone having a 6.3-inch screen. We're anticipating iterative modifications, mostly to your specs, rather than a complete redesign.

The good thing is that Samsung must move away a new Note that's attention-grabbing enough to outlast the iPhone X2 phones that Apple will probably unveil in September. If you're keen on phones with a handy stylus, this is the one to have a look at.

Here are all of the Note 9 rumors to date and features we should see from Samsung's next two-handed device.

Cut on chase

• What exactly is it? Samsung's next flagship phablet
• When can it be out? Perhaps August 2018
• What can it price? Most likely about $929 / £869 / AU$1,499

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch date and cost

The haven't heard numerous Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch date rumors yet, but we did see last year's phone announced on August 23 and ship to shops in September. The short-lived Samsung Galaxy Note 7 observed a similar routine couple of years ago.

Therefore there’s an excellent opportunity your Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is going to be announced in late August 2018, before hitting stores possibly in mid to late September.

The Note 9 has been trademarked by Samsung in mid-March, therefore it's possible that the launch target has been emerge rock.

There's constantly some one saying the Note phones comes earlier than ever though. This year, it's the The Investor that cites market watchers whom think it may be revealed in early to mid August rather. While the exact same site claims that Samsung has codenamed the phone 'Crown' and plans to have model from it ready through the first quarter of 2018.

We've also heard reports that Samsung is testing firmware the phone and that it began doing this a couple of weeks earlier than for the Note 8, which significantly recommends an earlier launch is possible – especially once the Galaxy S9 also had its firmware tested earlier than the S8, and continued to launch early in the day.

Whenever the Note 9 does show up it’s certain to be expensive. The Galaxy Note 8 retailed for $929 / £869 / AU$1,499 at launch so we can’t see Samsung bringing down the price for the Note 9, specially now Apple has pushed smartphone prices even greater having its iPhone X.

In reality, the S9 and S9 Plus saw a price boost in many nations, therefore it only is reasonable for Samsung to push its top-tier phone higher, regrettably. 

For the time being, you'll have to be pleased with the Note 9's predecessor. Have a look at today's best Galaxy Note 8 deals.

Watch the movie below to see our Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus hands-on.

Note 9 in-screen fingerprint sensor

The biggest Samsung Galaxy Note 9 rumor relates to its fingerprint scanner, which may be built directly into the display. It's the long-awaited feature we're nevertheless waiting to see in a conventional smartphone, and never in demo form or just in Asia.

The latest rumors recommend Samsung is testing numerous in-screen solutions and can most likely make use of one of these, a move which could also apparently allow space for a bigger battery pack inside Note 9.

However, a somewhat earlier rumor points towards in-screen fingerprint sensor skipping the Note 9, similar to it did in the S9 and S9 Plus, Note 8 and S8 and S8 Plus prior to. There's reason to trust it'll appear regarding the Galaxy X (Galaxy 10 next year, but).

Both Samsung and Apple have already been rumored become taking care of this but did not attain it over time due to their latest devices, pressing Samsung to go the scanner up to a sub-optimal place regarding the back of this Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8, while Apple ditched it entirely from the iPhone X.

There's hopeful news about the subject in the shape of a Samsung patent, showing a handset with a scanner constructed into the screen. Supposedly it could digitally show in which users must spot their little finger, and may possibly provide vibrations as feedback. Vivo has demonstrated exactly this tech in a phone this year.

But we've seen many sources in supply string claim Samsung has settled on putting the scanner on straight back, exactly like its current flagship phones, therefore now we'd state an in-screen scanner is looking unlikely.

More Note 9 theories

There's the opportunity that Samsung goes even further with the Note 9, as it's patented a smartphone concept that has not merely the fingerprint scanner but in addition the front-facing digital camera and sensors embedded into the display, for a undoubtedly bezel-free design. This might be too committed for a 2018 launch however.

Nevertheless, a much more ambitious goal the Galaxy Note 9 might be because of it to enjoy a bendable display. This might be one thing Samsung’s been taking care of even for longer, and there's recommendation your tech could secure in a phone later this year.

But might still arrive too late for it to be utilized inside Note 9, and Samsung might not wish to debut such an experimental technology on a major flagship.

Elsewhere, another patent might have offered united states a glimpse at exactly what the Note 9 can look like, as Samsung has published a phone design having display screen that curves during the right advantage, but oddly maybe not at left.

It’s a unique look for a phone, and quite dissimilar to the Note 8, therefore we’re skeptical it is useful for the Note 9, however never ever know.

Though the Note 9 looks, there's an opportunity that it will likely to be produced from a fresh material, as Samsung has trademarked 'Metal 12' – a material that's both strong and light.

And moving from the outside to in, The Korea Herald reports that Samsung might equip the Galaxy Note 9 by having an NPU (neural processing product). That's essentially an AI chip like Apple and Huawei have begun using inside their flagships.

It's confusing exactly what Samsung would make use of the chip for, however it could potentially increase particular functions for the phone.

It’s probably going to have large curved Super AMOLED display, an S Pen stylus as well as minimum 6GB of RAM. The interior storage should start at 128GB because Samsung bills this as an enterprise course smartphone. The S8 Plus has 128GB of space in most countries, but simply 64GB in the US. 

Note 9 can be prone to sport the top-end Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 chipset are at the full time of its launch, just like we see within the S9 and S9 Plus.

What we want to see

You will find only a few Samsung Galaxy Note 9 rumors so far, but we’ve a good idea associated with the sorts of things you want to see from it, like the after.

1. An in-screen scanner

It’s been rumored plus it would have been a great headline feature for the phone. Having the scanner on back is embarrassing, but building it to the screen would both be convenient as well as the sort of high-tech, futuristic thing which could start to see the Galaxy Note 9 be noticeable among other devices.

We’re confident Samsung is taking care of it, it’s merely a concern of whether it’s prepared with time the Note 9’s 2018 launch.

2. Room-filling sound

There are many advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but its speakers aren’t one of them. 

It offers just a single bottom-firing speaker, therefore the Note 9 we want at the least two speakers, and ideally for them to be added to the leading associated with the phone, for noise that travels towards you whenever you’re taking a look at the screen.

Offered how big the Note 9 may very well be though, it might possibly even handle four speakers, for certainly big sound.

3. Better Bixby

Bixby is one of the key brand new options that come with this year’s crop of Samsung flagships, however in its current kind it simply leaves one thing to be desired, particularly when it comes down to understanding what you’re saying. 

By the time associated with Note 8’s launch we would like it to be a real Google Assistant and Siri rival.

But nonetheless good it ultimately ends up being we also want to remap the unavoidable Bixby switch, because not everybody will want to use it.

4. Two-day battery pack life

Samsung’s been conservative using the size of this battery into the Galaxy Note 8, understandably given what occurred because of the Note 7, however it’s meant that while the Note 8 should last you a time you’ll probably be plugging it in during the night.

And it doesn’t fee as fast as early in the day fast asking Samsung phones either. 

Which could have been a safety precaution aswell, however, if Samsung will get a way to deliver two-day life and undoubtedly fast charging you with all the Note 9, without risking an inferno, we’d become very happy.

5. Enhanced face scanning

Even though iPhone X’s Face ID is probably its headline feature, it’s perhaps not initial phone to sport face scanning. Nor may be the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, nonetheless it does have it, it’s simply not really safe, to the point the place where a nevertheless image can fool it.

So for the Galaxy Note 9 we would like face scanning to go back, but only if it’s much better. If it can prove more reliable than also Face ID then Samsung could be onto a real winner.

6. A similar cost

Considering the fact that it’s apt to be perhaps one of the most high-tech phones of 2018 we don’t actually expect Samsung to introduce the Galaxy Note 9 at less cost than the $929 / £869 / AU$1,499 Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

However if it can keep it around the exact same that might be something, and would notice it undercut Apple’s top-end phones, given that the brand new iPhone X starts at $999 / £999 / AU$1,579.

7. Even less bezel

The leading of Galaxy Note 8 is practically all display, but there’s nevertheless a sliver of bezel towards the top and bottom.

We’d want to see Samsung reduce or remove that for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, possibly such as the fundamental Phone and/or iPhone X. this would allow exactly what’s constantly likely to be an extremely big phone to become a little more manageable, without having to shrink the display screen.

• We may additionally start to see the HTC U12 in 2018

this present year’s early flagships have actually stuck with real fingerprint scanners, but 2018 could remain the year regarding the in-screen scanner, as both the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei Mate 11 are rumored to pack one.

Samsung happens to be rumored become taking care of developing a fingerprint scanner in to the displays of its phones for some time now, and although the last up-date recommended the Note 9 wouldn’t get one, industry sources speaking to The Korea Herald are actually stating that it nevertheless might.

“Samsung show has ready three to four solutions for Samsung Electronics to embed the fingerprint sensor inside the primary display, and both are really considering one of the solutions,” a source said, incorporating that the delay in determining ended up being “due toward work with adopting the in-display fingerprint sensor.” 

However, one last choice will apparently be made this month.

Including giving the phone a headline function, it’s a move that in accordance with an analyst – speaking to equivalent website – allows Samsung to match a larger battery pack into the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

In-screen competition

But it's not just the Note 9 that could be using the technology, as more phones could be finally bringing in-display fingerprint scanning toward public. 

In accordance with industry sources talking with Digitimes the Huawei Mate 11 might also have such technology, especially using Qualcomm's ultrasonic method, which could work whenever wet or greasy.

It’s believable these phones could have in-screen scanners. All things considered, Vivo has shown off concept and model products utilizing the tech and also has a China-only handset by having an in-screen scanner, and Samsung might be eager to showcase one thing new, provided just how comparable the Galaxy S9 range should its predecessors.

But according to our early impressions the scanner execution in Vivo’s products isn’t perfect, and Samsung was rumored to be dealing with technical problems with the tech, so we might maybe not see flagships with it this season if those issues aren’t overcome.

The OnePlus 6 launch is drawing ever closer, as well as the specs are starting to leak away with increased frequency – and today's glut doesn't bring a giant range of surprises.

But the source is really a image of a spec sheet from Techslize, a website we've not connected to before nor cites where in actuality the information originated from, therefore it's hard to judge their veracity.

That said, they do bear the hallmarks of truth – using the camera module maybe not bringing any hardware changes from OnePlus 5T, utilizing a twin 16MP and 20MP sensor regarding the rear.

The front-facing camera happens to be enhanced up to a 20MP sensor, with an f/2.0 aperture, which should take some pretty impressive selfies.
