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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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 newlywed British sailor whose wife died after their yacht sank off the coast of Cuba has been jailed for eight years in the US for her manslaughter. Lewis Bennett, 42, was sentenced on Tuesday at a Miami court for the killing of Isabella Hellmann, 41. Bennett, of Poole, Dorset, was initially accused of murder and intentionally scuttling the catamaran before he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. He must also pay $22,910 (about £18,000) in restitution and will spend three years on supervised release after serving his sentence, a spokeswoman for the US Department of Justice said. Bennett apologised to Ms Hellmann's family during the hearing before US District Judge Federico Moreno, who rejected his defence lawyer's request for a seven-year sentence.

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...

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

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, wh...
