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.

How to watch the Derby: live stream horse racing from Epsom anywhere in the world

The Epsom Derby weekend is an annual two day event, started in 1780, that's considered to be one of the biggest and most prestigious race events of the year.

And you can get a free live stream wherever on earth you dwell. This year's favourite for the Derby race win is Saxon Warrior which won the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier in the season.
