Galaxy Note 10 may feature Sound on Display instead of an earpiece

Much has been speculated almost the Galaxy Note 10's brandish based on protective film leaks out of China over the past few weeks. Information technology'south now existence claimed that the Galaxy Annotation ten may characteristic Audio on Brandish engineering science instead of a traditional earpiece. The claim is based on one such leaked film which shows slim bezels all effectually.

The top bezel above the centered camera hole appears to be quite slim. It may be that way because Samsung is now rumored to supercede the earpiece with Audio on Brandish technology. The chin seems to exist slimmer than the Galaxy Note 9 as well.

Galaxy Note 10 could adopt Sound on Display

These adjustments would enable Samsung to fit larger displays without having to significantly increase the device'south size. The Galaxy Note ten and Milky way Notation ten Pro are expected to feature 6.three-inch and 6.75-inch displays respectively. Removing the earpiece would certainly allow for the display to exist stretched a bit further.

In that example, Samsung would have to rely on its Sound on Display technology. This has been one method of killing the notch that Samsung has been considering. It first showcased its Sound on Brandish engineering science at the Samsung OLED Forum in China terminal year. The company too showed off these OLED panels at CES 2019 in January. Products with this engineering were expected to arrive later in the year.

Leakster @UniverseIce claims that the Sound on Brandish technology will replace the earpiece on the Galaxy Notation 10. In that scenario, piezoelectric vibrations transmit the sound to the user's ear through the display. Samsung has implemented like technology on one of its new affordable devices. Every bit we pointed out in our Galaxy M40 review, the maximum telephone call volume is very low and calls experience hollow. Samsung could just improve on this front for its flagship phablet.

What would the absenteeism of an earpiece mean for stereo audio? It may prefer the same solution as the LG G8 which already has this engineering science, or as LG calls it, "Crystal Audio OLED." The conventional bottom-facing speaker is paired with the piezoelectric speaker for 2-channel stereo sound.

All of this remains unsubstantiated and then take this with a grain of salt. There'south e'er the possibility that the leaked films we have been seeing and so far are from a epitome that didn't make the cut. Such rumors and leaks will continue until the Galaxy Notation x is unveiled. Samsung is expected to practise that on August 7 in New York Urban center.
