Samsung started rolling out the Android 10 beta for the Galaxy S9/S9+ today and for the  Note 9 last week in select markets. Predictably, the update brings many of the new features that Samsung debuted on its newer devices launched this year, like Night mode for the front-facing camera . There is, however, one nifty little feature that is absent from the Android 10 beta for last year's flagships. The current beta releases for both the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 are missing Bixby Routines . For those unaware, Bixby Routines is Samsung's version of IFTTT and the popular Android app Tasker that helps users automate many repetitive and mundane tasks based on pre-set conditions (a few good examples of which can be found here ). The feature made its debut on the Galaxy S10 and was later seen on a few other Galaxy devices, including mid-range phones like the Galaxy A50 . We currently don't know if this is going to be 'fixed' in the next beta update or whether Samsung h...

Another upside is that the resale value of your Samsung smartphone will increase as well which is convenient when you want to upgrade later. This case by JETech is a flexible TPU case with added texture so you phone won't slip while holding it. At 33% off this is the best deal if you're looking to protect your Galaxy S10e.

Samsung is running an Android 10 beta program for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 right now . Since these devices were launched last year, they're getting new features that are a part of Android 10 and One UI 2.0   and  some features that were available on this year's flagships even on Android Pie. Among the latter is a Night mode for the front camera and for the telephoto rear camera, which debuted on the Galaxy Note 10 and later came to the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy Fold via a software update . On Android 10, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 owners can take brighter and more detailed photos with the front camera and the telephoto camera in dark conditions with the dedicated Night mode. As you can see in the samples below, Night mode makes a noticeable difference. These samples were taken on a Galaxy S10, but you can expect similar results on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9 as their cameras aren't different from the Galaxy S10 series. Well, the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 do ha...

The Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta program for the Galaxy Note 9 has been launched in India today and will soon be coming to the US as well. The Note 9's One UI 2.0 beta debuted in the UK and South Korea last week, and earlier today, the One UI 2.0 beta was also released for the Galaxy S9 in India and South Korea . At this time, it's unclear if the Note 9 or S9 betas will be expanding to markets like Germany, where both the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 Android 10 betas are available. Galaxy Note 9 owners in India will be able to grab the Android 10 beta update from their phone's Settings » Software update menu after enrolling in the beta program via the One UI beta notice in the Samsung Members app. The first beta build that's rolling out in the country is the same one that Samsung released as a hotfix in the UK and South Korea yesterday (build number N960FXXU4ZSK7 ). It's a 1930 MB download and includes the November 2019 security patch. The post Galaxy Note 9...

Even if you've never heard of the Bauhaus movement, you've probably seen its influence all around you. From traffic signs to office furniture, the legendary design school changed the way our world looks and functions.   One hundred years after the movement began in Germany, we're still surrounded by Bauhaus ideas about art, technology and craftsmanship, which are reflected in Google Arts & Culture's newest collection—" Bauhaus Everywhere ". The collection came together in partnership with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation in Germany—as part of our multi-year digitization collaboration—and six other partners including the IIT Institute of Design or the Guggenheim Museum. Bauhaus Everywhere Bauhaus design aimed to improve people's lives through functional design. Well-known members of the school, such as its founder Walter Gropius, the controversial Hannes Meyer or Gunta Stölzl, as one of many female designers an...

The Galaxy S11's official unveiling may be a few months away, but leaked renders over the last few days have given us a fairly good idea of what the three Galaxy S11 models will look like. The source of these leaks has often been correct in the past, having pretty accurately revealed the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10's design months before either series was announced, so there's a high chance that the leaked Galaxy S11 renders are based on the real deal as well. And that means that Samsung's next Galaxy S flagship will have a design element that not everyone will be fond of. Yes, we're talking about that rear camera setup. The Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ were the first Samsung flagships to not have their rear cameras laid out horizontally in the center, and the company seems to be taking that design a step further for the Galaxy S11 . Well, at least for the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11+, which have four and five rear cameras respectively. We have already...
