Android 9 Beta Program For Samsung Galaxy S9, S8, Note 9, and Note 8

Android updates are always complex matters. While users who own Google smartphones receive the latest Android versions almost instantly, most users have to wait a lot more, based on their phone’s manufacturer. Project Treble, introduced by Google, aimed to solve this issue.

When it comes to Android updates, Samsung phones are definitely not the first ones to receive them. We should remember that it took six months for Samsung users to receive Android Oreo. Since Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ support Project Treble, there is a big chance that things might change in the future.

Android 9

Android 9 Pie is on its way, and beta testing is the logical first step. This time, Samsung users might start beta testing earlier than usually. Beta testa could begin at the beginning of November or December. We should also remember that the beta testing program lasts for a couple of months.

A stable build for Android 9 Pie should come at the beginning of 2019. This time we’ll have a chance to see whether Project Treble really makes a difference.

Devices

The beta update will be released for Galaxy S9 and S9+. Since they are the first Samsung devices to receive Android 9, this also means that they will receive beta updates. Not all Samsung users will receive a beta.

The stable update (not the beta one) should become available for many other devices, including Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, Galaxy Note 8.

It is not very likely that Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will receive Android 9 Pie. Both devices received two important updates in the past: Android Nougat and Android Oreo. You can find the Samsung device list for the Pie update online.

Look Like A Billionaire Using These Simple Tips

Looking rich is not about the money. There are a couple changes that you can make in order to improve your appearance and get the look of a millionaire. Take a look at our list of tips and see how you can look rich without being too obvious.

Avoid flashy items

If you want to look rich you shouldn’t look like you are trying too hard. Avoid being flashy and don’t purchase items that are distasteful, just because they are expensive.

Purchase a couple quality items

High-end clothes can change your entire vibe. While you can’t change your wardrobe completely, you can buy two or three high-quality pieces. You can always combine them with cheaper items, and they will manage to improve any outfit. Not to mention the fact that these usually last longer as well.

Avoid logos

Wearing a big brand on your clothes is not something that will make you look sophisticated. In fact, most people consider these tacky. You can even remove your labels so that no one will know the origins of your clothes.

Dress for the occasion

Being extravagant won’t make you appear rich. You should dress appropriately for each occasion so that you will be able to blend in with the others.

Shoes

If you are looking to invest in something, shoes are the best choice. Expensive shoes will save your entire outfit, and they are more durable as well.

Accessories

It is very important to accessorize if you want to look good. However, pay attention to the accessories you choose. Opt for a simple look and don’t start wearing flashy items.

Natural fabrics

If you are aiming for a tasteful look, natural fabrics are recommended. Their quality is better and you will look more respectable wearing them.

FIFA 19 Gets Interesting With a New Exciting Modes

Numerous gamers are eagerly waiting for the upcoming release of FIFA 19. In the past days, we have been receiving new details related to the players that we will see in the game. Recently we found out another exciting information about FIFA 19. The video game will come with some new modes that should definitely please many players.

The House Rules mode

If you are tired of playing by the rules, you should know that FIFA 19 will allow you to ignore them. The “House Rules” mode will allow players to enjoy the match without worrying about fouls or any other rules.

This mode is a bit more complex than you would think, and players will have a chance to customize the rules. For example, you can choose to end a game when a team reaches a number of goals. You can also use the “No Rules” feature in order to get rid of the ref. Finally, if you choose “Long Range” you will receive double points if you score from outside the box.

Survival mode

This mode is perfect for the players who are up for a challenge. When playing survival, a team will lose a player each time it scores. The game is over when one of the team manages to score five points.

This is not so different from regular FIFA matches when the game was stopped if a team had less than seven players.

FIFA 19 will be released on 28 September and it will be available on  Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, and PS3. Players can already download the demo and some teams were announced for it, including Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, FC Bayern, BVB, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, A.S. Roma, and Atletico Madrid. You can get the demo for free, so hurry up.

Can ZMovies be An Alternative To Showbox?

Showbox has been many times the subject of contradictory discussions, and even their fans are not so sure about this app anymore. They are also looking for another app that can stream TV shows, movies, and other releases online.

One of those apps that they enjoy is ZMovies, and after we tell you all about it, you can answer the question in the title yourself.

ZMovies: Movies from A to Z

This site offers a wide catalog of movies and when your first scroll on it you will see that the movies are arranged based on the date they were released on or relevance.

What is great is that if you want to see popular movies, new releases or TV series, ZMovies has a separate tab for them. The genres you can find on the app are short films, western, sport, sci-fi, mystery, romance, musical, history, thriller, horror, family, fantasy, drama, adventure, action, animation, biography, and even documentaries.

The two things you can do on ZMovies are downloading your favorite movie in HD or watch/stream that movie online in HD.

ZMovies vs. Showbox

One disadvantage that ZMovies has is the geographical limitations.

However, the app is always updated with more movies which you can watch in HD, and they also have quality content. The app is free and offers quite an opportunity, right? There are similarly named apps as well but do not get fooled by them.

Free content is also offered by Showbox, is regularly updated with new movies, new functionalities, new features and many more to its downloading and streaming services.

Now that you got familiar with the app, which one do you think is better? We bet that ZMovies can be considered a good alternative to Showbox. Or maybe you can pay for Netflix…

iPhone 11 Release Date in 2019 – New Rumors and Leaks

As you might already know, Apple had released its 2018 trio of iPhones a few days ago, but we are already talking about the 2019 iPhones.

Apple iPhone XI – What we want to see

The new iPhone is one year away from us in case we will not get a new iPhone SE during this year. However, we still have some features that would want Apple to introduce to its next iPhones.

A rumor was talking about the fact that Apple might copy Samsung a little bit and release the iPhone Xs Max with support for a stylus. Unfortunately, that rumor was not accurate, and it left us hoping for that to happen next year.

The Samsung Galaxy Note series demonstrated how useful a stylus can be and that many Apple fans would make good use of it. Maybe the Apple Pencil will be improved in such a way that it will not be too bulky to be introduced in the iPhone. We bet the engineers from Apple will not find it difficult to achieve this.

USB Type-C charging

Other rumors that got us hyped for nothing as it was not accurate suggested that Apple will move to UDB Type-C and dump the Lightning cable after being used for five generations. As the MacBook uses this connector to charge, it means that iPhones can be developed in such a way that they can feature such a charging method as well.

We want the headphones jack back!

Maybe you are part of these group of people who want their headphones jack back…maybe not. Actually, who are we kidding? You must want it back! As Samsung could find room for a tiny 3.5 mm port, how could not you, Apple?
