Tipster, Ice Universe says Samsung has become "lazy"
Samsung has clearly adopted Apple's 'S' update to release a new iPhone every other year with the same design but upgraded specs. However, in this case, Ice Universe has accused Samsung of not offering a new design because it looks "to save manufacturing costs." The tipster further said that the company has become "lazy" and shared renders of what "Samsung can achieve" but doesn't.
Note 9 will not have an in-display fingerprint sensor
Earlier, some rumors suggested that the Galaxy Note 9 will be Samsung's first phone to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, Ice Universe confirmed that Note 9 would not get this feature. Notably, the tipster has been extremely accurate in recent years, especially with unreleased Samsung smartphones.
