Samsung is expected to finally unveil the Galaxy Note 10 at Samsung Unpacked on Wednesday, August 7, but the leaks are still flowing. The latest comes in the form of marketing materials for the Galaxy Note 10, and confirm that we’ll see two sizes for the phone, expected to be called the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

The leak comes from Droid Life, and gives us a number of details of the two phones. According to the leaks, the smaller Galaxy Note 10 will feature a 6.3-inch display, while the larger device will step things up to 6.8 inches. Both offer a hole-punch camera cutout, and will come with an S Pen included. Notably, Samsung seems to be adding new features to the S Pen, like new air gestures and the ability to remotely switch between camera lenses, which is a handy feature.

The materials also offer details about other features. For example, the materials note that the phones will feature a new “Audio Zoom” microphone, which focuses audio recording to where you’re recording in a video. It seems similar to a feature on offer by the LG V30, but may be a little more refined. Last but not least is a new Superfast Charge, which gives you “hours of juice from minutes of charge time.”

Other specs aren’t noted, but previous leaks have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect. The phones, according to leaks, will offer the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and a hefty 8GB of RAM, which is pretty impressive. In classic Note fashion, there should be plenty of storage on offer too — according to leaks the phones will offer as much as 256GB of storage, which should be plenty for most, especially in an era of streaming and cloud storage.

According to some leaks, there will be other unique features too. Leaker Ice Universe has tweeted that the phone will have a variable aperture that can switch between three different apertures — between f/1.5 and f/2.4. That’s pretty impressive, and should make for a much more versatile camera experience on the Galaxy Note 10. Not only that, but the two phones will reportedly have three main lenses, including a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel zoom lens.

After months of straight-up denying it, OnePlus just confirmed it’s tapping out of North America and Europe. In a community forum post, the company dressed up the news as a “proactive global strategy adjustment,” but for buyers in these markets, the outcome is straightforward. There will be one less brand to choose from the next time you go phone shopping.

Furniture, Table, Lamp

Power banks serve a very simple yet handy purpose. Charge your accessories or phones in a pinch, while on the go. But every now and then, a model comes in with a little more style of functionality–like built-in cables or magnetic/wireless charging. Some can even charge up bigger gadgets like laptops.

But Belkin is doing something a bit different. The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 10K with Motion Sensing Light has launched in China for 329 yuan, or approximately $49. Alongside its 10,000mAh battery and 45W USB-C charging, it carries a pop-up LED lamp that can illuminate a hotel room, bedside table, or dark hallway when it detects movement.
