Samsung Galaxy A90 case shows triple camera, full-screen front

This is the first update after the One UI upgrade on the Samsung Gear S3 watches and while most of it is smooth sailing, there's one particular flaw that came with the new UI and that's alarm syncing.

Samsung Galaxy A90 case shows triple camera, full-screen front

Images of a Samsung Galaxy A90 case have surfaced and they show both sides of the phone. There's a triple camera on the back, 48MP+12MP+5MP according to rumors and it will have "Tilt OIS" (note that another version of the phone is expected to have 48MP+8MP+5MP cameras instead).

Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL are up to $300/€300 off

Google has significantly discounted the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL this week with deals in the US, Canada and Europe. The two phones are up to $300/€300 off, but there's a catch.
