Like every other mobile company, Google is preparing to launch new phones in 2019. Lately, we keep hearing some news that the company is working on developing a mid-range of handsets, suitable for those who want to enjoy the wonders of modern technique at a more budget-friendly price.

We are talking about Google Pixel 3 XL that might also come with a Plus version. This story is very new, so we don’t know much about it until we will find out some official information. However, it looks like something fresher ”is cooking” at Google’s production labs.

The company seems to be working on developing an augmented reality master, the Google Pixel 4

In 2019 we will see some wonders of technique, not just simple smartphones. Google has to keep up with the foldable Galaxy and the S10 anniversary gadget. Apple is about to release incredible handsets as well next year. In this case, Google is ready to address AR fans.

According to recent leaks, this company is about to revolutionise the mobile industry with its Google Pixel 4, one of the most outstanding phones ever released by the tech giant. The new handset could be called Bonito or Sargo.

Even if the name hasn’t been established yet, Google fans who love to play with augmented reality will be crazy about the smartphone as soon as they see how it works. In fact, ”tech geeks” say that everything in this handset could be about augmented reality.

Android Police states that Google’s latest ARCore APK is the first source to tease the mentioned names. In any case, recent activity from inside the company reveals that the new devices released by Google in 2019 will be based on cameras with augmented reality features.

Other rumors say that Google Pixel 4 will have a foldable screen, but maybe developers don’t want people to think that they are stealing Samsung’s idea. It’s interesting to see how things will evolve, but we might have to wait until October 2019 to see this new phone from Google.

Nintendo Switch Won’t Get A Revision Anytime Soon

Last month, Reggie Fils-Aime stated for Forbes that Nintendo Switch Online would allow members to play all the Nintendo’s classic content. However, he changed his initial statement by saying that Nintendo will focus on holidays, leaving behind classic content.

“In terms of the legacy content, we’ve said that our focus right now is for NES content. And that’s what we’ll continue to push on,” said Fils-Aime in November.

“Right now, as we go into our second holiday, my focus is making sure the current grey and neon Switch continue to have momentum in the marketplace. You saw systems, whether it’s our own or competitive home console systems, utilize that tactic a bit later in the life cycle. So right now, the current execution of Nintendo Switch with the Joy-Con and all of the capabilities, that’s our focus right now,” said  Reggie Fils-Aime in a recent interview with Forbes.

Nintendo Switch Won’t Get A Revision Anytime Soon

“We’re feeling confident in our momentum and it’s not just a stellar launch of Pokémon, it’s not just what appears to be a stellar launch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That Black Friday through Cyber Monday time frame was critically important to us, the remaining shopping days now through Christmas are critically important to us,” stated Fils-Aime.

“More days right after Christmas as consumers receive gift cards or take unwanted gifts and monetize into things like Nintendo Switch are important to us. So, this is going to be an ongoing effort to make sure that we drive our business forward through the balance of this holiday season but also the first calendar quarter as well,” added Reggie Fils-Aime.

In short, according to Fils-Aime statements, Nintendo Switch won’t get a revision anytime soon, as Nintendo is focusing on the current-gen console and classic content, as well.

PlayStation 5 – Everything We Know So Far

Recently, Sony announced that it wouldn’t participate at the E3 2019, news that shocked many of the video games industry enthusiasts. However, at the same time, the Japanese company announced that it would reveal something significant in 2019, and fans believe it would be about PlayStation 5, the next-gen console of Sony.

On the other hand, Sony did not reveal anything meaningful about its future PlayStation 5 console, so everything we have comes thanks to leakers and rumors. However, we know for sure that Sony is currently working on the PlayStation 5 (or whatever it would call it, as it might come out with another name).

PlayStation 5 Would Come Out Between 2019 and 2021

As I’ve already mentioned, Sony revealed nothing meaningful regarding its next-gen console, so we don’t know when PS5 would come out. However, according to some rumors, PlayStation 5 would come out anytime between 2019 and 2021. Most likely, PS5 would hit the shelves in 2020, but there’s nothing official to confirm that release date.

In reality, 2020 sound like the ideal year for a PS5 release since Sony is skipping E3 2019, and, apparently, it’s working on something big. There should be a good reason behind the Japanese company’s decision to ditch next year’s E3.

PS5 Would Launch With An Astonishing Design

We don’t know how the PlayStation 5 would look like, and there is no official information on that, so everything we know about Sony’s next-gen console design comes from concepts released on the Internet, allegedly, based on various leaks.

In the image below, you can see the latest PlayStation 5 concept:

PlayStation 5 Backward Compatibility and Graphics

As in the case with the other rumors regarding PS5, the PlayStation 5 backward compatibility is not officially announced by Sony. So, everything we have on this topic comes from rumors. Accordingly, PlayStation 5 might indeed come out with backward compatibility, allowing users to play PS4 games and, who knows, maybe even PS3 titles. That would be lovely, wouldn’t be?

As for the PS5 graphics, recent leaks an rumors say that PlayStation 5 would go beyond the 4K of PS4 Pro so that it would support 8K resolutions and 120 FPS.
