Here are the OnePlus 8, iPhone 9, and foldable Pixel patent leaks from this past week

Images, renders and videos of upcoming smartphones are constantly leaking.

All of these leaks are often difficult to follow, so we’ve compiled a list of this past week’s hottest rumours. Specifically, any smartphone leak that has occurred from March 28th to April 3rd.

In this third week of COVID-19 quarantine, we’ve seen plenty of leaks about the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro and some leaks about Apple’s upcoming entry-level iPhone.

Apple

Apple’s rumoured iPhone SE — also often called the iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 9 — is expected to launch on April 15th.

iPhone 9 update

Per an internal meeting yesterday, Apple is now preparing for an April release.

Tentative dates:
– Announcement on April 15

Samsung

A reported image of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20+’s (or Note 20 Ultra) LED View Cover case mould leaked courtesy of Roland Quandt. From the model, it appears the handset’s camera placement will be the same as the S20 series.  The mould also shows that the buttons are on the right side, which is different from the Note 10 series.

Here's a fun one. This is a mold for an inlay for the official Samsung Galaxy Note 11 (Plus) LED View Cover. (Ignore the markings and the aspect ratio could be a little off, too). pic.twitter.com/kAZEFmTXhB

Google

It looks like Google might be jumping on the flexible display bandwagon. A patent published by the tech giant indicates the company is also looking to patent a foldable device. The phone can bend in a way that features the screen next to the rear-facing camera sensor, according to the patent. The patent also outlines how the phone is able to fold at a 90-degree angle.
