Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s chipset might not be that bad after all

With the Galaxy Note 20 launch just a week away, all eyes will be on what upgrades Samsung brings to the table. While the chipset might remain unchanged, there might be a silver lining. While Samsung flagship like the Note series and the S series are powered by Snapdragon chipsets in the US and European markets, they come with Exynos chipset in Asian markets such as India. It often tends to lose out on the performance front against Qualcomm Snapdragon counterparts. However, a new leak suggests some good news in this regard.

The best free tablet and PC games for children

Welcome to our list of the best free games for children on both tablet and PC. These have been carefully picked to make sure they are appropriate for kids. We hear a lot of bad stuff about kids playing games. Back in the 1980s, we were told Pac-Man would herald the end of society, resulting in kids roaming maze-like streets, desperate for a fix of glowing dots. Naturally, that didn’t happen. And in these more enlightened times, there’s plenty of research to suggest gaming is – in moderation – a useful activity. Video games promote problem solving skills and imagination. They are an active leisure pursuit, versus the passivity of television. Still, it’s important to ensure your kids are playing games that are suitable.

Samsung Galaxy S9 has the world’s best display

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the best OLED display ever made, according to DisplayMate’s rigorous testing, earning the highest score achievable. Despite running at the same 2,960 x 1,440 resolution as its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S8 , a number of improvements have been made to the new device. Most notable among the screen’s many highlights is its improved color accuracy. DisplayMate lauds the S9’s support and high level of execution of multiple color gamut standards, like DCI-P3, RGB and sRGB, and has awarded Samsung with a rating of “Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect” in this department.  To that end, the research firm states that this screen is “almost certainly considerably better than your existing living room 4K Ultra HD TV”.
