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. These optimizations should bring it closer to the Snapdragon 865 series. He even suggested that it is almost li...

Leak reveals a few more specs about the Moto Z3 Play

All eyes might be on the imminent launch of the Moto G6 phone at the moment, but Lenovo has several other handsets planned for 2018, including the Moto Z3 Play. Thanks to a new filing at the Federal Communications Commission, we now know a little bit more about what's in store. Inside the device you're going to find a Snapdragon 636 CPU, and that'll be coupled with 4GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB of storage. Everything will run from a 3,000mAh battery which should give you plenty of time between charges. The phone will have a 6.1-inch screen and the dimensions will match the chassis size of the current Moto Z range – which of course means you'll still be able to use your existing Moto Mods with it. Even if you upgrade your Lenovo-made smartphone this year, your modular accessories can come with you . What's in store All of which makes it sound like this is another solid mid-ranger to look forward to, something the Moto series has focused on in recent years. ...

Mobile is the future for NBA basketball

In an era where sports are competing not just with each other for new and existing fans’ attention, but also with other forms of entertainment, mobile is a key battleground. For many competitions, television ratings are falling as younger fans move away from linear television to smartphones and on-demand services. There are even fears that sport isn’t as popular as it once was. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is acutely aware of these trends, but rather than fear them, it is embracing them as it seeks to build its fanbase not only in the US but globally too. The NBA has a diverse following, but it is more youthful than its local rivals and has a reputation for being a more progressive league that reflects this. For example, in 2014, Donald Sterling, the owner of the LA Clippers, was forced to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer because of alleged racist remarks and the league has expressed a more permissive stance to those who wish to protest the national ...

How Spotify for Apple Watch is more important than just music on your wrist

Earlier this week we heard that Spotify may be coming to the Apple Watch 3 in the watchOS 5 update, but the introduction of the app may signal something much more exciting for the company's range of smartwatches. The rumor comes from an unverified tipster speaking to MacRumors , which claims Apple will use WWDC 2018 (coming up in June this year) to show off the app for the first time. While it's exciting to see a third-party music streaming service debut on the Apple Watch , it marks a far more important introduction of tech working on the Apple Watch. The rumor suggests Apple will introduce its next StreamKit framework within watchOS 5 that will allow third-party developers to make use the cellular features on the Apple Watch. Big changes for Apple Watch Only the one version of the Apple Watch 3 can currently connect to a cellular network, and the features that offers are limited to apps provided by Apple. This new software change will allow developers to push notifi...

iMac 2018: what we want to see

Given the reports suggesting that a new MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook are in the works, both more affordable than their predecessors, it wouldn’t surprise us to see an iMac 2018 come to fruition around the same time. It’s ready for an upgrade as well. After being refreshed with Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake CPUs in mid 2017, Intel released 8th-generation Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake CPUs. Now the iMac is one generation behind when it comes to processing power, not to mention its dated style It’s easy to speculate on what the iMac 2018 is going to look like. There’s sufficient evidence, for one, that three of the Macs that release this year will off load some functionality to Cupertino-manufactured custom co-processors rather than trusting every feature to a third party like Intel. This year will also mark the 20th anniversary of the iMac, so we expect Apple to celebrate this benchmark in a commercially available way. As usual, Apple is keeping its cards pretty close to its che...

macOS 10.14: what we want to see

It’s still early in the year, but, like clockwork the Apple speculation is already everywhere you look. Still, we’ve heard very little about macOS 10.14, which we assume will be the next version of Apple’s Mac operating system. Other than the rumor that MacOS 10.14 will somehow incorporate iOS apps , there simply isn’t much to go off of that’s solid, or even mercurial regarding the OS. Still, this is to be expected as Apple rumors typically revolve around hardware rather than software. So that leaves us with some room to think about what we’ll see when MacOS 10.14 is announced, but more importantly – what we want to see. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the deep dive you’ll find below. And, remember to bookmark this page, as we’ll keep it updated with every morsel of information that we get our hands on. Cut to the chase What is it? The 2018 edition of Apple’s Mac operating system, macOS When is it out? Likely September or October 2018 What will it cost? macOS 10.14 will likely ...
