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.

This Dell XPS 15 laptop is probably the best Windows alternative to the MacBook Pro 16

Let’s clear a few things first; the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro is the most powerful lightweight laptop money can buy. There is no laptop of this size on the market that can pack 8TB of storage and 64GB of RAM.  At just over 16mm in thickness and with a weight of 2Kg, it is truly a technological feat. The nearest rival to it has to be the Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop which doesn’t carry the same cachet as Apple’s newest Mac product but still has a few cards up its sleeve; that is, if you are looking for a Windows 10 PC that approaches what the MacBook Pro 16-inch has to offer.

Three Mobile's SIM only deal surges to the top with unlimited data for only £18 a month

The SIM only market has very quickly lit up with the Black Friday festivities, throwing out deal after deal to compete for your interest. However, one offer has quickly floated to the top, forming a benchmark for the rest to follow. That offer comes from Three and can be summed up very simply as ' the cheapest unlimited data SIM only deal...ever '. Last year, on Black Friday 2018, Three gave us unlimited data for £20 a month and this year, its dropped down to £18. That puts it far below even its closest SIM only deal competitor - Smarty Mobile and well below the rest of the market. And while this will be the ideal option to pair with a Black Friday phone deal of the SIM-free variety, it is likely to sell very rapidly so don't wait around too long.

The best iPhone 7 deals in November 2019

There's no doubt that iPhone 7 deals are no longer the newest option from Apple but there is one thing this handset is still one of the best choices for - affordability. As one of Apple's cheapest phones around, this is a welcome change to the high price tags we see elsewhere. The release of Apple's iPhone 11 and its two more powerful models was a big reminder of the costly nature of Apple and just another reason the iPhone 7 could be the ideal phone for you. But despite its age the iPhone 7 still rocks many of the specs we have come to expect from Apple. A mid-size battery, strong processor and the much loved iOS features Apple has made famous. When it comes to choosing the tariff for you there is still a surprisingly large range of iPhone 7 deals. Big data remains affordable and brilliant cheap contracts under £20 are readily available. And with Black Friday almost here, we're expecting prices to drop even further! On this page you'll find all of the ...

5G protests show history is repeating itself

For all of the challenges associated with the rollout of 5G networks - spectrum availability, planning regulations, and security concerns to name but a couple - few could have predicted the spectre of fakes news would be a hot topic at the Huawei Mobile Broadband Forum in Zurich last month. Earlier this year, Swiss operator Sunrise launched one of the world’s first 5G network – a feat that has since been matched by rival Swisscom. However a fake news story was circulating around the country, one which raised concerns about the health impacts on 5G signals on the general population.
