Mobile Fun’s production partners in China have received information regarding Apple’s upcoming iPhone models, set to be released in September 2020.

Here’s some recent examples of the information coming through.

iPhone 12 Dimensions:

Images showcasing iPhone 12 cases already available to order:

Physical iPhone 12 screen protectors already in sample production:

With such strong information coming direct from our partnered far east factories, we’ve been able to place multiple orders for iPhone 12 cases, months ahead of the phone’s expected announcement.

With early availability of the NovaShield case series for the iPhone 12, we’ve wasted no time in kicking off the range. A range that is being expanded at pace, with multiple early orders also placed with well known accessory manufacturers.

Cases for the new iPhone 12 range can be found below:

• iPhone 12 Cases
• iPhone 12 Max Cases
• iPhone 12 Pro Cases
• iPhone 12 Pro Max Cases

What we know so far?

The information provided to us at Mobile Fun certainly backs up many articles promoting the fact that we’ll see four devices come September. This also point to a rather conventional naming strategy of the iPhone 12, 12 Max, 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max, with all four models coming with 5G compatibility.

While the home button made a nostalgic return on the recent iPhone SE 2020, there will be no such inclusion for the new iPhone 12 range it seems.

A phone’s camera is always one of the most important decisions when it comes to buying a new device, and it seems as though Apple have equipped all of their upcoming phones with a strong set-up, albeit with the Pro models containing the extra lens as seen with the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max.

Wrapping Up

We hope you enjoyed reading about all of the iPhone 12 news we’ve been receiving. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as more comes our way, but for now enjoy the rest of you day!

With Samsung having updated their extremely popular A50, there’s no surprise in the uptake of the new Galaxy A51. As a result we’ve reviewed and shortlisted the best Samsung Galaxy A51 screen protectors.

As the A51 is relatively new there’s currently not a large selection of screen protectors available and so we’ve put together a list of the favourite options and will continue to add any new screen protectors to this list as they become available.

1. Olixar Samsung Galaxy A51 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Tempered glass has been designed to provide to the highest level of protection for smartphone screens and this Olixar A51 tempered glass screen protector does just that. Providing protection against scratches, knocks and drops, this glass screen protector will keep your A51’s display looking new. Additionally we found that this screen protector is fully compatible with the in-screen fingerprint reader and does not effect screen sensitivity.

2. Olixar Samsung Galaxy A51 Film Screen Protector 2-in-1 Pack

Although tempered glass screen protectors offer the highest level of protection, they can sometimes add un-wanted thickness to your phone and so if you’re not a fan of tempered glass protectors, then TPU film screen protectors are the go to choice. Olixar have designed their film screen protectors to be easy to apply and protect against scratching. As with the glass screen protector above, this protector also retains the A51’s screen sensitivity and clarity, whilst also being compatible with the in-screen fingerprint reader. Additionally as the screen protectors are extremely thin, fitting a case of your choice to your Galaxy A51 will not be an issue.

It’s worth noting on the edge to edge design, only certain thin and flexible cases such as the Olixar Ultra-Thin can be applied. The reason for this is that, tough and hard cases tend to put pressure onto the edge of the screen protector causing it to crack.

2. Olixar Samsung Galaxy A71 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

The second tempered glass screen protector to feature in our list, however with a difference. Unlike the tempered glass mentioned above, this Olixar screen protector has been designed to be case compatible, allowing you to fit any case you wish to your phone.
