Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A20 smartphone last week, and the company is expected to launch its slightly toned down version dubbed Galaxy A20e soon. The A20e was listed on Samsung UK's website earlier this month, and now, its alleged case renders have surfaced revealing its design. These case renders show us that the A20e will look similar to the A20. It has a waterdrop notch display on the front with a dual camera setup located on the back in the left corner. The cameras are accompanied by an LED flash and an oval-shaped fingerprint scanner. Samsung Galaxy A20e case renders The smartphone has the volume rocker and power button on the right, with the microUSB port and headphone jack placed on the bottom. Samsung has scheduled a Galaxy A series event on April 10 where we may see the A20e go official. Via #Google #Android #Smartphones #OS #News @ndrdnws #ndrdnws #AndroidNews
DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th...
Once again, the year is drawing to a close. Of course, we also looking back over a year of reporting right here in the office, but what has inspired us the most in the past twelve months? In this article our editors introduce you to their personal highlights of the year. The year 2017 was quite an interesting one, but it was also somewhat boring at times. Like every year, of course, every big-name manufacturer released their latest flagships with every single one of them becoming increasingly expensive. One thing is clear in 2017: If I want to buy a high-end smartphone, I'd really have to shell out a lot. A whole lot. Samsung, Google and Apple have all crossed the $900 threshold. The iPhone X, in particular, somewhat exaggerates things: "The device is interesting and shows a clear evolution in the Apple world, but what you get for the price is a joke", says Benoit. ...

In August 2018, Google made a commitment to veterans, military spouses, and service members transitioning to civilian careers. At that time, we announced a job search experience that uses military occupational specialty codes to connect service members and veterans with open jobs that call for skills developed during their time in service. In the months since, we've continued our work to make it even more useful for those who are searching for civilian jobs and the amazing people who support and guide them. People like Kristen Rheinlander, who works as the Transition Site Manager of the USO Pathfinder Program at Fort Hood, Texas. A self-described Army brat whose father served in the military for 25 years, Kristen came to the USO as a volunteer 4 years ago. Today, she heads up a team that works with service members and their families as they prepare for a new challenge: figuring out what comes next. Every new challenge has a first step, and for Kristen, it starts with ...
