Samsung Galaxy A10e visits Geekbench with Exynos chipset, 2GB of RAM

Image
Samsung has gone all in with the suffix "e" this year. The Galaxy S10e is the most affordable S10, the Galaxy A20e is a cheaper version of the A20, you get the idea. The Korean company has also been working on a Galaxy A10e, which has already been certified by both the Wi-Fi Alliance and the FCC. This indicates the fact that the phone, with the model number SM-A102U, could be launching very soon. To test things thoroughly before that release, someone in possession of a prototype saw fit to run Geekbench on it, and thus the results are now part of the benchmark's online database.

This is what the Samsung Galaxy Note10 will look like

Image
Yesterday a schematic of the Galaxy Note10's rear camera arrangement leaked, and we showed you a render approximating what that would look like on the back of the upcoming device. What about the front, though? Since the Galaxy S10+ comes with two sensors in the punch-hole screen cutout, you'd expect the Note10 to have at least that number of cameras tucked in there, but apparently you'd be wrong. Both the Note10 and the Note10 Pro (yes, we're getting two models this year, four if you count the 5G-enabled offshoots) will only employ one front-facing camera.

Redmi K20 Pro will have a version with 12GB of RAM, TENAA listing reveals

Image
Xiaomi's sub-brand unveiled its first ever flagship smartphone, the Redmi K20 Pro, just a couple of days ago, and now it looks like it's going to get even more high-end in the future. Suspend your disbelief for a moment, this is actually possible. See, the official announcement had the K20 Pro topping out at 8GB of RAM, but there is a version with a whopping 12GB of memory coming. This has been revealed today by the official listing of the handset on TENAA, the Chinese regulatory authority that needs to certify every device before it goes on sale in the country.

Samsung Galaxy M40 press render leaks ahead of June 11 launch

Image
Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy M40 on June 11 in India, where it's partnered with Amazon. Yesterday a teaser from the retailer was posted, drumming up the excitement for the new smartphone. Today the press render you can see below has been leaked. It shows the Infinity-O screen, with the punch-hole selfie camera, a first for Samsung's M-series (the other members of the family all sport notches). The phone is expected to sport the Snapdragon 675 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will run Android 9 Pie. On the back we can see a triple camera setup, an LED... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2I7ktiB via IFTTT

Apple granted patent for foldable device, here's what it could look like

Image
Apple has filed a patent application for a foldable device, which folds inwards much like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. In Apple's patent the device has a display layer and a protective cover layer on top that are designed to fold or bend along a specific bendable region (like the hinge on the Fold). The protective layer (which will be on top of the display layer) will reportedly be made of a ceramic material like glass, sapphire or zirconia. The figure below shows a folding device with the display on the inside, folding in on itself (figures 1A and 1B).

Huawei MediaPad M6 appears on JD.com

Image
Huawei's MediaPad tablet line is due for an update and today we got our first glimpse of the upcoming MediaPad M6 on the company's online store. The slate will come in 8.4-inch and 10.7-inch versions both of 2560×1660 resolution. Another common component between the two versions is the Kirin 980 chipset. The smaller version is expected to come with a 4,500 mAh battery while the larger pad will come with a 7,500 mAh cell. Design wise, the new MediaPad features narrower bezels and there is no longer a physical power button like on the previous generations. There is a single selfie camera... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2XgWmnY via IFTTT

Amazon launches Echo Show 5 for $90

Amazon has launched the Echo Show 5, a smaller version of the Echo Show at a much lower price. The Echo Shot 5 has a 5.5-inch, 960x480 resolution display. The widescreen aspect ratio is ideal for watching Amazon Prime Video content, as well as content from other service providers. On the back is a single 4W speaker. The Echo Show 5 also has a 1MP camera on the front for video calling other Amazon Echo users. The camera has a shutter that physically blocks the camera when it's not in use. Apart from that, it's exactly the same as any other Amazon Echo device. You can... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2YT7Myw via IFTTT

Meizu leaks its own 16Xs smartphone ahead of launch

Image
The Meizu 16Xs is supposed to launch tomorrow, but someone didn't get the memo and the company's website uploaded pretty much everything about the handset. We got all the specs and renders a day in advance. The Meizu 16Xs is carrying a 6.2-inch Full HD+ (1080 x 2232px) AMOLED screen without a notch. There's also a fingerprint reader sitting beneath. A Snapdragon 675 is behind the wheel paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. The triple-camera setup on the back consists of a 48MP (f/1.7) main unit, a 5MP depth-sensor and an 8MP f/2.2 snapper, which is probably... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2I5rXTb via IFTTT

Samsung re-releases the Galaxy S10 update

Image
Updates typically fix bugs, but sometimes things go wrong - the last update for the Galaxy S10 phones was pulled as it caused stability issues for many. It seems that now this update is getting re-released, hopefully with all the bugs patched up. Currently, the update is rolling out in Switzerland, that's where the original update started too. If no issues arise, it should expand to other regions shortly after. This is an important update as it enables Bright Night mode as well as using the telephoto lens in Live Focus mode.

Sony working on a foldable Xperia F with 5G connectivity

Image
Sony may be working on a foldable phone of its own - the Xperia F. It is in the early stages of development as reports coming out of China claim that the phone is set to launch next year. The screen will have Sony's trademark 21:9 aspect ratio and will use a flexible OLED panel from Samsung. It's likely that this will be a vertical folding design as the Samsung and Huawei foldable phones (which fold horizontally) have squarish aspect ratios. According to the rumors, the Sony Xperia F will sport a 5G modem, which may be Sony's first.

Motorola Moto Z4 passes by Geekbench

Yesterday we saw the surprise appearance of the Moto Z4 in a hands on video as someone bought a unit before it's even announced. Now we're getting official Geekbench scores which are on par with other Snapdragon 675 devices like the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A70. The Moto Z4 tested had 4GB RAM and managed to push out 2346 points in the single-core test and 6248 in the multi-core department. Unsurprisingly it was running running on Android 9 Pie. The battery inside the Z4 comes in at 3,600mAh and will charge over USB-C. The Moto Z4 lineup will also include the Moto Z4... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2HKNJg5 via IFTTT

Huawei may unveil the Kirin 720 tomorrow

Image
Insiders report that Huawei will unveil a new chipset tomorrow, undeterred by the fallout from the US/China trade war. No, probably not the flagship Kirin 985, instead it's expected to be a replacement for the Kirin 710 from mid-2018. Tentatively dubbed Kirin 720, it will be fabbed by TSMC (which officially confirmed its support for Huawei) and it will use a smaller node - 10nm, down from 12nm. It could feature new processor and GPU cores, the 710 used A73 and G51, respectively. The 10nm process node may mean Cortex-A75 cores instead of the newer A76 (which target 7/8 nm), but... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2QzmY0T via IFTTT

Google Pixel 4 screen protector shows dual punch hole selfie camera

After the Pixel 3a and 3a XL Google's smartphone division shifts its focus to the upcoming Pixel 4 flagships. We've seen some leaked renders of the 4 XL and its dual front camera punch hole display. Prior to that a Geekbench listing showed us that the phones will run on the Snapdragon 855 processor. Now a new leak courtesy of Skinomi gives us our first look at a screen protector for the Pixel 4, along with renders of the front panel.

Realme X will launch in India later this year, CEO reveals price

The sixth episode of the #AskMadhav Q&A show is up and it has some good news: the Realme X will launch in India in the second half of this year. The brand's Indian CEO Madhav Sheth even gave a pretty narrow price range for the phone - INR 18,000 to INR 20,000. That's slightly higher than the price in China (which works out to INR 15,000). The team is still considering what specs will be best for that market (presumably this refers to the RAM and storage configuration). That will determine the final price.

Since the new Redmi K20-series are already out in China, it's time for Xiaomi's sub-brand to focus on the international market. The latest piece of information, however, comes as a surprise because it seems that in some countries, the handsets won't come out under the Redmi brand. The Redmi K20 Pro is said to appear as Pocophone F2 Pro while the vanilla K20 will be named Pocophone F2. This also means that the phones will be called Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro in India.

Man sues after his face is mauled by emotional support dog on Delta Airlines flight

Image
A man who was allegedly attacked by an emotional support dog on a Delta Airlines flight has filed a lawsuit against the airline and the owner of the animal.Marlin Jackson has accused both Delta and Ronald Kevin Mundy Jr, a US veteran, of negligence after he was attacked while the flight was boarding in June 2017. Mr Jackson was seated in a window seat while the dog was next to him on the veteran’s lap, according to the lawsuit. The dog then attacked Mr Jackson, leaving his face permanently scarred. According to the complaint, Mr Jackson “bled so profusely that the entire row of seats had to be removed from the airplane.”“The attack was briefly interrupted when the animal was pulled away from Mr. Jackson. However, the animal broke free and again mauled Mr Jackson's face,” the lawsuit continued. The lawsuit also said Delta didn't verify the dog was trained or met the requirements of a service animal. A police report stated the Marine Corps veteran's dog was a chocolate lab po

British sailor whose wife vanished on honeymoon jailed for eight years after 'deliberately sinking their yacht'

Image

Lewis Bennett, 42, was sentenced on Tuesday at a Miami court for the killing of Isabella Hellmann, 41.

Hong Kong Rejects U.S. Warning on Ship Breaching Iran Sanctions

Illinois House Passes Bill Repealing Partial-Birth-Abortion Ban

Image
The Illinois House on Tuesday passed a bill that would repeal the state's previous partial-birth-abortion ban and require that insurance providers cover contraception and abortion services.The Reproductive Health Act, which passed 64–50, removes virtually all restrictions on late-term abortions and the penalties currently imposed on doctors who perform them. The legislation must now receive majority support in the state Senate before it can be signed into law.The bill's proponents have argued that the legislation codifies existing practice and is necessary in light of the recent passage of restrictive abortion laws in a number of Republican-controlled states, as well as the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, which many pro-choice activists are concerned might overturn Roe v. Wade.“RHA codifies our existing practices and -- and this is critical -- treats abortion care just like any other health care, because it is,” said the bill's sponsor, state representative Kell

Democrats toughen qualifying standards for third presidential debate

Seeking to cull its crowded 2020 presidential field, the Democratic Party will make it tougher for candidates to qualify for a third debate scheduled for September. The party will require contenders to meet both a higher polling standard and a larger fundraising target, the Democratic National Committee said on Wednesday. In the first two debates, scheduled for June and July, contenders have to meet just one of the two criteria, leaving open the possibility that as many as 20 of the 24 announced Democratic candidates could be on stage. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2HLgPvT via Latest News

Indiana abortion: Mike Pence 'commends' Supreme Court for upholding foetal burial law

Israel to hold unprecedented second election after Netanyahu fails to form a coalition

Image
Israel is heading for an unprecedented second election in less than six months after Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a coalition before a Wednesday night deadline and instead forced through a bill to dissolve parliament.  Mr Netanyahu won the most votes in April’s election but has spent the last six weeks struggling to convince smaller Right-wing parties to join his coalition and help him form a majority government.  After a series of frantic last-ditch negotiations broke down, a stony-faced Mr Netanyahu returned to parliament shortly before midnight on Wednesday and voted in favour of a bill to hold new elections on September 17.  The bill passed 74-45. Moments after the vote, Mr Netanyahu condemned the new elections as “superfluous, wasteful elections that nobody needs and nobody wants because the people already spoke”. Israel has never before been forced to hold two elections in a single year and the political chaos is a potentially seriously blow to Mr Netanyahu, who managed to w
