After receiving the final  approval from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in July, the Vodafone-Idea merger was finally  completed  a month later. But it appears that Vodafone and Idea subscribers will also be getting some benefit of the merger in the form of faster upload speed. As per an OpenSignal Report, the Vodafone-Idea merger will not only create India’s largest telecom operator, but will also become an  ‘upload speed powerhouse’.  As per OpenSignal’s latest Mobile Network Experience Report, Idea offered the  fastest  upload speed of 2.88Mbps in India, followed by Vodafone with 2.31Mbps. With that in mind, the merger has the potential to further increase data upload speed and benefit customers in India who are now creating and uploading more content.

However, the merger

Qualcomm has finally announced its next flagship SoC, the  Snapdragon 855 , at the Qualcomm Tech Summit in Hawaii. Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon 855 is  ‘the world’s first 5G multi-gigabit compatible mobile platform’ . The new SoC comes equipped with the Qualcomm’s new X50 modem to enable 5G connectivity on flagship smartphones that will arrive next year.

A new leak has given us our best look yet at the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. The leak shows off the phone from every angle, confirming the presence of five cameras. The renders also reveal that Samsung isn’t dropping the headphone jack just yet. We’ve had a ton of  Galaxy S10  leaks in the second half of 2018, covering the camera details, model line-up and much more. But we haven’t really had a great idea of what Samsung’s flagship phones will look like. Now,  91Mobiles  and  OnLeaks  have delivered a ton of renders, purportedly revealing the upcoming flagship in all its glory. The new leak covers the Galaxy S10 Plus, which is expected to be larger (obviously) than the standard Galaxy S10. Aside from the images, we also get a 360 degree video (seen above) to give us a better idea of the 2019 superphone. The leak indeed shows a triple camera setup on the rear, with all three cameras arranged horizontally. We also see a flash and what i
