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. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 release date, price, news and leaks Upcoming smartphones in India: Specs, launch date, price (Image credit: Samsung/WinFuture) According to a tweet by Anthony, a Youtuber, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will continue to be powered by the Exynos 990 chipset, but with major improvements in terms of the performance and efficiency.

Nintendo Labo VR Kit is much more than a gimmick

Nintendo Labo seems to have done the impossible: brought Nintendo back to VR. Nintendo Labo seemed like a bit of a curveball when it first hit shelves last year. An add-on that lets you craft your own peripherals, it was easy to dismiss what looked like overpriced cardboard that wasn’t ready to use out of the box. But, one year on, Nintendo is confidently bringing out new Labo kits, and doing what seemed like an impossibility as recently as a few months ago: turning the Nintendo Switch into a VR system. Only last year we heard Nintendo executives shrug off questions of VR support, saying VR simply wasn’t fun enough for the company to jump on board – while the move towards Labo peripherals reflected a continued interest in play in the real world, instead of just on screens. The Labo VR Kit was a surprise then – as was the VR support for the console's flagship Zelda and Mario games – but it’s clear to us that Nintendo has thought hard abou...

Man City vs Spurs live stream: how to watch today's Premier League football online

Got your breath back yet? Well it's time to go again. Same teams, same stadium, same result?

You're in the right place to get a Man City vs Tottenham live stream - regardless of where on Earth you are. So which way is this one going to go? Forget the two legs of the Champions League and the smart money would always be on Manchester City.

The best smart speakers 2019: which one should you buy?

There was a time when many of us weren't sure whether the 'smart home' would really take off, but then smart speakers came along and everything changed.  Smart speakers now dominate the smart home market. According to the latest stats, they're now owned by one in six Americans , while over the pond in the UK, ownership has doubled in six months , with a smart speaker occupying 10% of all households. It's (kinda) official: Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant are as important to most households as pets. The popular virtual assistants are taking our homes by storm, with many now considering smart speakers to be the future of home automation, not only controlling your smart home devices (like your Philips Hue bulbs or your smart locks ), but running everything from your fridge to your living room lights – sometimes without much help from you.  Whether that's exciting to you, scary or just a bit gimmicky will depend on your view of new tech. ...
