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.

These optimizations should bring it closer to the Snapdragon 865 series. He even suggested that it is almost li...
Rumor has it that Dell is planning its own dual-screen ARM-driven device, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, similar to the piece of hardware Microsoft allegedly has in development.
We’ve been hearing rumors for a while now that Microsoft may resurrect the Courier dual-screen device abandoned many moons ago, and according to a source cited by WinFuture, Dell has been working on a similar dual-screen project codenamed ‘Januss’ (the name of a God with two faces, which makes sense – although it’s normally spelt with only one ‘s’).
Dell has been working on this since last summer, apparently, with a prototype created at that time. The Windows 10 device will apparently run with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 chip, which hasn’t yet been officially revealed, but is a step on from the Snapdragon 835 used in current Windows 10 on ARM laptops. And that should provide a nifty performance boost.
Shaky ground?
Of course, we need to exercise a good deal of caution around this speculation, and WinFuture is fairly cagey with its wording, noting in its report that Dell’s project has been waylaid several times, and that the device hit some ‘hurdles’ at the start of this year, and it’s not clear if Dell has moved further ahead with the hardware.
Other details on Dell’s purported device are thin on the ground, although it is expected to carry at least one USB Type-C port.
So yes, we are up to our knees in salt on this one, but it’s an interesting nugget of information to hear, for sure.
Meanwhile, it remains unclear if Microsoft still has serious ambitions in the dual-screen device space – the last we heard was a somewhat different spin on a foldable Surface tablet which could still connect to a detachable physical keyboard if needed.
