After the success of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, many are looking forward to the next entry in the long-running brand of phablets.
Samsung is hard at work on the Note 10, and the company has strived to keep the device shrouded in mystery. A recent leak from an unexpected source: Verizon. The CEO of the telecommunication company has recently announced that Samsung will offer a 5G version of the device, which will be compatible with the new 5G network operated by the company. An unnamed LG smartphone with 5G capability was also mentioned.
The announcement may have stolen the limelight from one of the aces that could have revealed during an official announcement, and it is likely that Samsung isn’t thrilled about the situation. 5G is shaping up to be a really big thing in the future as many smartphone manufacturers prepare to enter the fray.
The new standard promises blazing fast speeds but it Is important to keep in mind the fact that a nationwide rollout will take several years, and paying top dollar for a feature that could be limited to a few areas doesn’t seem like a good deal.
Thankfully, Samsung will add new features which should make the device quite attractive. It is already known that the company will release four different versions of the device, including a more affordable Note 10e and the pricy 5G edition mentioned in this article. Those who opt for the later with enjoying a massive 6.75-inch display, a generous battery and a quad camera array which promises incredible capabilities. If you opt for the smaller Note 10e which measures 6.28 inches, you will be limited to the triple camera setup found on the Samsung Galaxy 10.
Most of the tech specifications which are currently floating on the internet are nothing more than mere speculation, but it is likely that the devices will set a new bar for power. An official announcement should arrive in the following months.
There have been a couple of rumours about a possible Modern Warfare 4 release this year. However, there was no confirmation for these speculations. Until now. A former Call of Duty dev suggested that the next Call of Duty title might be in fact a Modern Warfare 4.
One (overly excited) fan tweeted “I’ll shit myself if it’s modern warfare”. Not only that he received an answer from Robert Bowling, but the response tweet can be considered a confirmation of the rumour: “You better buy some brown pants”.
Robert Bowling is the former Infinity Ward Creative Strategist and Community Manager so we have plenty of reasons to believe him. More than that, the last Modern Warfare title was released 8 years ago, which is a long time. The franchise was quite popular and Infinity Ward has plenty of reasons to bring it back to life.
There are other things that fuel this rumours. A couple of American football players posted a video of themselves playing what seems to be this year’s Call of Duty at a private preview event. The video can be watched here and if you listen closely it appears that the players say “Modern Warfare 4” at some point.
Eurogamer also had an article about the speculations and the first words for the first four paragraphs spelled Modern Warfare 4. We do not know yet whether Eurogamer knows something, or it is simply making fan of the speculating fans.
Finally, to list the last clue, back in February Activision-Blizzard mentioned that Call of Duty 2019 is “rooted in some of the franchise’s most important history”, and it will come with a single player campaign. These are both clues which seem to suggest that Modern Warfare 4 is on its way.
According to the Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki, the PlayStation 5 will not be launched in the next 12 months. Mochizuki, who broke the internet by revealing the information on Twitter today, has a considerable track record in scrupulously covering on the future plans of Japanese companies who operate within the video game industry.
It gets more interesting as Mochizuki was the one who confirmed that Sony was directing their most majority of 31.1 billion Japanese Yen (£215, 771, 880) into the development of the PS5.
The disclose that Sony will not launch the next PlayStation for the next 12 months is actually coherent with all the latest PS5 release date official information and all the leaks and rumors.
Mark Cerny, the PS5 developer confirmed that the next console would not be revealed in 2019. A few weeks back a PS5 leak also stated that the next PlayStation will be ready for release in 2020, which was compatible with and April 2018 leak which also claimed that PS5 will launch next year. However, this isn’t saying anything about the rumor from January this year which envisioned that both the PS5 and Xbox Two would compete at E3 2020.
In conclusion, Mochizuki’s reveal is narrowing down the PS5 release date more so. If the console will not be released over the next 12 months, it means that it will be announced and then released from May 2020 forward.
Sony is now sneaking out of E3 2019 this year as it momentary wants to ‘crouch down’ in order to ‘jump higher in the future’ and it is clear that it is utilizing this time to really make the PS5 a true next Xbox killer.
The Japanese creator hasn’t made any statements regarding the absence of E3 2020. The chances of a conquering PS5 reveal at next year’s event in June it feels not just probable but more and more possible.
Texas has one of the fastest growing populations in the country. With immigration, new tech industries springing up throughout the state, and people relocating to Texas for jobs, real estate is at an all-time high. Clocking in as the second largest state in both land area and population in the US, Texas has a lot of potential when it comes to investing in property. To become a successful real estate investor, you need to have a firm grasp on the ins and outs of owning a rental property in the Lone Star State. From location to financing a rental property, below is a list of what you need to know about investing in Texas real estate.
Financing a Rental Home
When it comes to investing in rental property, you need to first figure out how you’re going to take the plunge and buy your property. Buying your first home for you and your family typically requires only a 3% down payment. This is not the case when it comes to purchasing property for investment purposes. Mortgage insurance doesn’t cover investment properties, so you’ll need to place at least a 20% down payment for traditional financing. However, the larger down payment you place, the better interest rate you’ll receive.
Depending on where you’re searching to invest property in, there are multiple options you can choose from. You can apply for hard money loans in El Paso, which are perfect for people who may have poor credit scores or debt. With hard money loans, investors look at your assets rather than your financial history, allowing you to take on large projects such as flipping a home. Or, if you’re looking into a larger city like Dallas, you can take out a bank loan for commercial property such as a shopping center or office building.
Location, Location, Location
These 3 L’s are the mantra of every real estate investor. Location is an extremely valuable aspect of owning rental property. Why? Because you want to invest in areas where people actually live! In a state as large as Texas, you may sit there wondering where on earth you should begin looking to invest. A good thing about living in the 21st Century is technology. There are numerous real estate investing apps that allow you to search for homes on the go!
A good tip is to start with large or growing cities. Texas is rapidly growing in the computer tech industry, oil, healthcare, and renewable energy. The reason for Texas’s population growth is because college graduates from universities along both coasts, as well as leading industry professionals, are moving there. Cities such as Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin are expanding quickly, so looking here is a good place to begin.
Lastly, an always in demand audience are college students. Large college towns such as Waco, College Station, and Lubbock have an endless supply of students looking to rent. With high turnover, you’re able to make adjustments to rental prices year by year to compete with college housing prices. To ensure you properties stay intact, screening services allow you to determine if potential renters are good for your home. Or, if you want to dip your toes into the tourism sector of cities like San Antonio, Airbnb gives investors an easy platform for renting their property.
Taking Care of Your Real Estate Property
Investing in real estate is extremely rewarding. If you make real estate your sole source of income, you free yourself from that dreaded 9-5 work schedule or sitting in an office all day. However, it’s not all butterflies and rainbows. With rental properties come repairs. A way to save money is learning how to do common repairs yourself. Along with repairs, renovating your rental property will increase its value and allow you to make a larger profit in the long run. Remember, this is an affordable investment opportunity that can pay off heavily in the long run. Knowing simple repairs such as fixing leaky faucets or a hole in the wall will save you time on expensive contractors.
If a large-scale reconstruction project needs to be done in order to stay on top of state laws and codes, you could find yourself knee deep in expenses. Whether you need a foundation repair or a new roof, you want to get the job done as cheap as possible for the best quality. You can contract freelance laborers through online freelance marketplaces and adjust your search by cost and type of repair. Or, opt for the traditional route and research the best professionals near you.
Taking It All In
Investing in real estate in Texas offers endless opportunities for financial success. With an ever-growing population and a wide array of industry sectors, finding tenants will be no problem. However, knowing how to finance a rental home, where to buy, and how to renovate and repair your property are important pieces to owning your very own rental property.
Over the years, Apple has always used its annual WWDC event to announce new improvements and features of its upcoming model of the iOS mobile operating system; iOS then being launched a few months after that year’s iPhones. The event is scheduled for June 3 and iOs 13 is anticipated to be the core of the event, meaning there is not an incredible long waiting time until we can find out all the details about the iOS 13.
Rumors have already started to fly all over the internet with the idea of what could be part of iOS 13 look set. A particular report says that iOS 13 will probably have a system-wide dark mode, application tabs and a new undo gesture, as well as significant reconstructed interface for iPads.
There is also the batch of Animoji sprites we are awaiting to see in the iOS 13. The company has already given us a preliminary view of the 230 new characters which are being added to the collection, but a new leak apparently implies that four more characters could be added along. Apple developer Steven Troughton-Smith declared that users of the latest version of iPhone will soon be enabled to get into the head of a cow, octopus, mouse and surprisingly enough, an emoji face.
Although the last one seems like it would give users a lot of fun, it’s the mouse Animoji some are rather fond of. Apple has collaborated in the past with Disney so it could bring its users branded content, as the Apple Watch already have Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse’s faces. It would be exciting to see what kind of mouse Animoji it will be: a mouse or one of the Disney’s favorite characters.
The Animoji feature is accessible on the iPhone X, the latest iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR, as well as on the latest iPad Pro.
