The celebrations are really really picking up now with Chinese New Year beginning this weekend. In fact, there's a new Samsung deal as we usher in the Year of the Rat. From now till 16 February 2020, purchase of any selected Samsung device will net you a chance to win a second device.

While we are expecting new designs of smartphones to come out in 2020, Samsung is planning to bring us back to the good old times by launching a clamshell-folding smartphone. Not long ago, Motorola also made a reboot version of its famous Razr flip phone and the reaction was good. Now, it seems like we can get another flip phone from Samsung as well, and it will be called either Samsung Galaxy Bloom or Galaxy Z Flip.

During CES 2020, Samsung unveiled a variety of displays at the event such as MicroLED, QLED 8K TVs and more as well. While Samsung did not mention when all these products will be available to the general public, we can expect all that will be mentioned to be available somewhere around the year 2020.

NEON is the word you might have come across if you have been paying attention to this Samsung’s mysterious project. Since the teasers came out, people are already being excited over the ‘artificial human’ project that Samsung is going to reveal more at CES 2020 in less than 48 hours. For now, let’s take a look at where NEON is heading and how it’s going to live up to the hype.

Samsung has put in more effort to bring its mid-range smartphone lineup to the next level last year. The Galaxy A series did not only serve us premium looks, the budget-friendly smartphones have also brought us tech specs that are undeniably attractive. In 2020, the Korean tech giant has no plans to slow down as 9 new Galaxy A series smartphones were found trademarked.

Many brands rely on Qualcomm's mobile chipsets these days but there are others that are trying to gain more market share. Apple and Huawei have an advantage here, being able to manufacture their own chips, like the A13 Bionic and Kirin 990. But Samsung actively uses Qualcomm chips in many of its devices and needs orders for chips to improve its chip business. Unfortunately, Qualcomm may not want to play ball.

Are you ready for the 12.12 sale to happen yet? This is another time people would go online and shop like it’s the end of the world. If you have missed some of the deals during the last 11.11 sale, this is your last chance to make amends with all those goods you were going to buy!

Starting from 13 December until 24 December 2019, Samsung has announced that they will be hosting the 12-day Advent Calendar campaign, where you could get up to 50% off selected Samsung products such a curved screen monitor, smartphones and more. Other than the products listed on the website, there will also be discounts for various Samsung products from 10 December until 24 December 2019 as well.

While Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 seems set to dominate flagship models for 2020, Samsung is looking towards MediaTek for its more affordable phones. MediaTek recently launched its new 5G-capable chipsets, which will probably feature in upcoming devices from Chinese manufacturers and now sources claim that Samsung may be looking into it.

Into the unknown~ The Frozen craze has returned and many brands are rolling out products with the ultimate trio, Elsa, Anna and Olaf.  After the opening week of the movie, Frozen 2 has set the record for the highest-grossing animated movie in the weekend box office. The success has led Samsung to join forces by partnering with Disney to release Frozen 2 based accessories in Taiwan.
