Samsung Galaxy S10 Looks Amazing In New Renders

As the CES 2019 has started, the most significant gadget manufacturers will reveal dozens of products. While many devices would be announced during the CES 2019, we’ll talk now about Samsung Galaxy S10 which looks amazing in new renders. As we already know, CES is about TV sets, laptops, computers, and so on, but it is not about iPhone and Galaxy phones, so such devices are not under the focus of the first tech fair of the year.

Accordingly, MWC 2019 would be the right place for smartphone manufacturers to reveal their latest creations. However, thanks to new renders, we can see how Samsung Galaxy S10 would look like, and it would be stunning.

As reported by Zach Epstein from the BGR, “there will also be plenty of leaks to enjoy this week, as there have been in weeks past,” and “the hotly anticipated Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus will launch much sooner than [iPhone 11] – next month, in fact – and now we have some stunning new images to enjoy while we wait.”

Samsung Galaxy S10 Looks Amazing In New Renders

Since last year’s devices, Samsung Galaxy S9, S9 Plus, and Note 9, were all powerful devices but incredibly dull, the South Korean giant tech company is planning a fascinating Galaxy S10 device to celebrate ten years of the Galaxy S series existence on the market.

Samsung Galaxy S10 would boast an in-display fingerprint sensor, three cameras on the back, and many other features that would make it the best Samsung Galaxy device ever made. Also, Galaxy S10 would come out in four variants, a standard version, a Galaxy S10 Plus one, a Lite variant, and, reportedly, a Samsung Galaxy S10 Special Edition which would be 5G-compatible.

In the pics below, we can see how amazing the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 looks, as it’s boasting some very cool color schemes, such as red, gold, silver, black, and blue.

Intel Revealed Its SnowRidge SoC For 5G Network

At its CES 2019 press conference, Intel presented its intention to join the 5G race. Accordingly, Intel revealed it SnowRidge SoC for 5G network, the infrastructure of the Intel’s 5G cell phone tower base. However, this system is not dedicated to smartphones, but, instead, it is a wireless base station solution, enabling carriers that plan to offer 5G to improve the efficiency of the upcoming network standard.

According to Intel, this SnowRidge SoC for 5G network is made with 10-nm technology and has to be mounted on cell phone towers. Also, Intel said that the new chipset is similar to the silicon maker’s ‘Ice Lake’ computer and laptop chipsets.

However, this market is new for Intel which plans to reach 40 percent market share by 2022 thanks to SnowRidge SoC for 5G network. According to MobileSyrup, “a brief demo showed off during Intel’s CES 2019 keynote demonstrated how Snow Ridge is capable of serving multiple data streams from various types of applications, with total bandwidth amounting theoretically to 100Gbps.”

Intel Revealed Its SnowRidge SoC For 5G Network

During the Intel’s press conference in the preview of CES 2019, the company only presented the new SnowRidge SoC for 5G network, but it has not revealed the potential partnerships with carriers. Therefore, Intel might keep this information secret until Mobile World Congress 2019 which will take place in late-February.

As reported by MobileSyrup, “since MWC 2018, Intel has been silent regarding its plans for 5G, with the only exception being the reveal of its XMM 8160 5G modem back in November. The new modem is designed to work with smartphones, laptops, desktop devices, and broadband access gateways.”

As regarding technology for the upcoming 5G network, Intel fell behind Qualcomm. However, Apple will most likely use Intel’s SnowRidge SoC in its future 5G iPhone which would come out in 2020 or so.

Most Known Problems with WhatsApp and How To Fix Them

I can’t manage to install WhatsApp

The latest version of WhatsApp can be download only if your smartphone runs Android version 2.3.3 or higher. If you are not sure of the Android version, you can always check it by going to Settings and then to About Phone.

If the place where you want to download this app from is its official website, before doing that you would need to enable the Unknown Sources in your settings.

The activation code was not sent to me

If you did not encounter any problems with the installation, but then the automatically generated message with your activation code simply does not want to do anything with you, then the first step would be to check if your number is correctly written. The next step would be to check the country, and if those two are accurate, then you should receive the code.

If receiving the code does not work, you should choose the voice call in which a computer will read the code to you over the phone.

Do not forget that a SIM is mandatory to register for WhatsApp. Another such thing would be that per phone number only one device can be used.

WhatsApp is down, I can’t connect to WhatsApp or WhatsApp is not working

The connection problems of WhatsApp are usually caused by your network data connection or your Wi-Fi. Here are a few solutions in case you can’t send a message:

One of the most straightforward steps would be to ensure that your phone is switched on.

Using Play Store, install WhatsApp’s latest version.

Go to Settings then to Wireless and Network and check your Wi-Fi, internet connection or 4G.

Do not forget that WhatsApp can be affected by Task Killer apps so check those.

Google Assistant To Be Available On Over 1 Billion Smartphones By The End of The Month

Google plans to expand its Google Assistant in 2019 even more. Accordingly, by the end of the month, Google Assistant would be available on over 1 billion smartphones, and it would support new languages and regions, as well. Thus, the giant Internet company plans to double the use of Google Assistant which settled around 500 million users as of May 2018.

Even more, Google said that the number of Google Assistant users grew by four times in 2018, as the application became more useful than it has been in previous years, and all that thanks to the improvements the company implemented, such as AI and others.

“In 2018, the Google Assistant learned to speak new languages, expanded to new regions (like the Netherlands, Indonesia, and Turkey), and became smarter with new features that can help you throughout your day […] By the end of this month, we expect the Google Assistant to be available on one billion devices, up from 500 million last May,” Google wrote on its official blog.

Google Assistant To Be Available On Over 1 Billion Smartphones By The End of The Month

The fact that Google Assistant will become available on over 1 billion smartphones by the end of the month is no surprise since the assistant became much more useful to users.

According to Google, “the Assistant speaks new languages and understands local cultures – it’s now in nearly 30 languages and 80 countries, up from eight languages and 14 countries last year. And the Assistant became multilingual so that you can speak more than one language to it at home.”

Google is going to reveal more details on how Google Assistant improved and how it can help users, during CES 2019 which will start today, January 8th. “From day one, we’ve built the Assistant with one goal in mind: to help you get things done. Tomorrow, we’ll unveil even more ways the Assistant can help you at home, in the car, and on the go at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. If you’re at CES, be sure to swing by the Google Assistant Playground (Central Plaza-1) for a firsthand look,” the official Google blog post reads.

iPhone XR of 2019: What Should We Expect?

It is most likely that the XR 2 will not be announced earlier than September 2019 and later that month or in October it will be available in shops.

As for the release schedule of Apple, we can quickly be assured that every autumn we will have a new handset. However, its availability depends. It is three years since Apple dropped an iPhone outside this period, that being iPhone SE. Due to the fact that this phone is more aimed at the budget audience, we might not get it until spring 2020.

Price

In 2018, the iPhone XR was released with the price of £749/$749 with 64GB of storage while for the 128GB and 256GB one the prices rise.

Even though this iPhone has a lower price than the iPhone XS, its features and specs are similar, so this year the price should not be too different from the previous year.

The UK pricing might be negatively impacted by the Brexit process because the pound would drop and imported products would become more expensive.

Specs & new features

In 2018 the iPhone XR was similar to the iPhone 6, but with XS’s specs and features and 5C’s colors.

The more expensive components such as the OLED screen were replaced, in this case with an LCD one, and the dual-lens camera to a single one.

Some other differences included a thicker body and larger bezels. However, many of these are not that easy to be observed so who would not buy this one instead of paying $250 more and having a slightly different aspect? At least we know that this phone is good enough for people who do not have a budget big enough to get a more professional version.
