Among the Samsung Galaxy S20 line of phones, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is expected to be the bigger version that potentially boasts higher specs, a larger battery, and possibly even more features. This could land as the Galaxy S20 Plus even though we originally expected it to be called the Galaxy S11 Plus. Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus nameWhile it makes sense that the Samsung Galaxy S11 Plus would be the next numbering in the line after the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, we could see it leap ahead, with

Getting our hands dirtyThe Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q appears in a laptop equipped with an Intel Core i9-10980HK. With 48 streaming processors, it matches the spec of the desktop-class RTX 2080 Super. If this mobile GPU is actually real, it should lead to improved performance over the vanilla RTX 2080, though if it mirrors the bump seen when we moved from the RTX 2080 to the RTX 2080 Super on the desktop side, it’ll be a very minor upgrade. Until Nvidia actually details what the RTX 208

References to Zen 3, the architecture of AMD’s next-gen Ryzen desktop processors, have turned up in the Linux kernel, hinting that these chips might just arrive sooner than we think. New versions of the Linux kernel are often combed through as they emerge, looking for clues like references to unreleased hardware, and this time around it’s Komachi_Ensaka (a prolific leaker) who spotted details of AMD’s ‘Family 19h’ processors, and shared them on Twitter.

Do you have an old Sonos speaker kicking around at home? It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean your old Sonos speaker will stop working – it just won’t receive any new features from May onwards. For example, if a cool new music service to rival Spotify comes along, your older Sonos speaker won’t be able to support it. There’s also the possibility that changes from service developers like Spotify or Tidal, that require an update from Sonos to work, could render your old Sonos speaker unab

The iPad Pro version of Fortnite just received a massive performance upgrade, thanks to a new update (Version 11.40.1) from Epic Games that enables support for gameplay at 120 frames per second (fps). Currently, the 120fps feature is only supported by Apple’s iPad Pro 11 (2018) and iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) tablets, which boast Liquid Retina displays capable of 120Hz refresh rates. Additionally, the feature is only available to those who’ve updated their iPad Pro tablets to iOS 13. That said, it’s st

Well, Sony may let you do just that with the PS5 controller, according to a new patent. “While the user is inputting voice from the microphone, the sound of the speaker is suppressed, and tactile presentation control by the tactile presentation device is performed.” In other words, the controller can accept voice commands through its built-in microphone, much like smart speakers such as Amazon’ Echo range. Whether this patent is for the PS5 controller is still speculation, but it lines up with s

The Xiaomi Mi Watch is still only available in the company’s home market of China, but the device is now better than ever thanks to a software update. The latest upgrade for Xiaomi’s Wear OS device brings a body energy feature to the smartwatch for the first time. The update also brings a new stress monitoring mechanic to the Xiaomi Mi Watch as well as a way for it to light up when you get a notification. Given that the Mi Watch was announced back in November, we’re hoping Xiaomi will launch the

Google’s Chrome browser is the most popular browser in the world, but it’s also notorious for gobbling up RAM and battery life faster than market share – but it looks like Microsoft has found a way to reduce its battery consumption – on Windows 10 devices, at least. Back in August 2019, Microsoft spotted a way of potentially reducing Chrome’s power consumption, which impacts battery life, by preventing unnecessary disk caching when users watch videos. When the browser uses disk caching, that kee

One of the world’s biggest games is teaming up with the social media platform of the moment, as Fortnite kicks off a dance competition in collaboration with TikTok that could see your own dance moves immortalized with an in-game emote. TikTok users are being encouraged to submit their own “original dance moves” through the short-form video platform, with the promise that winning entries will be turned into emotes (playable dance moves you can use at the touch of a button, often used to celebrate

Intel’s DG2, its high-performance discrete Xe graphics cards, will allegedly be built on TSMC’s 7nm process according to a new report, and aren’t expected to launch until 2022. The report suggests these will effectively be a sequel to DG1 (meaning these will be second-gen Intel GPUs, not just higher-end models). Now, AdoredTV cites information coming from an anonymous industry insider saying that these DG2 cards won’t be produced using Intel’s own 7nm node, but rather TSMC’s 7nm process. After a

Last week, Toyota and its luxury arm Lexus hosted an event called Kenshiki Forum 2020 to showcase its newest models and potential creations of the future.

1TB is the sweet spot as far as solid state drives are concerned, with the cheapest 1TB SSD routinely available for around $80. Samsung is by far the most well known of the vendors, but its 860 QVO drive (MZ-76Q2T0B/AM) is based on QLC technology, which might raise eyebrows.

Following a recent spate of rumors that another Left 4 Dead game is in the works, Valve has stepped forward and said that this is “absolutely not” the case.

Cheap laptops often come short on system memory and internal storage – which often backfires in providing a good user experience. We cringed at the world’s cheapest laptop, Thomson X5 Neo 10 , with its 2GB of system memory and 32GB onboard storage. The Lhmzniy A9 , although a mouthful of a name, costs just $375 at Gearbest using the code W40C422F929EB001 at checkout. It comes with 16GB of RAM and a massive 1TB solid state drive (M.2 SATA), equalling the top spec on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3

“So think of somewhere like Times Square at 5 PM going from maybe single-digit throughput speeds to 50 Mbps at the edge and 200 Mbps in the middle of Times Square.” Faster 5G uplink speeds in a sports arena include fewer delays in things like fantasy sports and/or sports betting, Dunne suggested. This might be better used by commercial interests, though, like 5G cameras on the go at sporting events or 5G hubs in backpacks. Better bandwidth means better performance – even for folks off 5GWhile 5G
