The Galaxy A41, one of the many 2020 A series phones Samsung is working on right now, has popped up on the Geekbench benchmark database . The benchmark reveals that the A41 is powered by a MediaTek processor, the Helio P65 to be precise. Samsung has partnered with MediaTek every now and then, and it seems the company is doing it again this year. Rumors also say Samsung could use MediaTek's 5G chip on some of its 2020 Galaxy A smartphones, though that is likely to be reserved for higher-end devices . The MediaTek Helio P65 has pretty good specs, such as two Cortex-A75 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, but since it's built on a 12nm process, it probably isn't as efficient as the 10nm Exynos 9611 that we find on the Galaxy A51 (read our review here ) and will see on upcoming devices like the Galaxy M31 . The presence of the MediaTek chip on the Galaxy A41 suggests it could be an ODM device , which means it would be made in China by a third-party manufac

It's less than two weeks to Samsung's Unpacked event where the company will officially unveil the Galaxy S20 series, not that there's much left to be unveiled in the first place . A concrete release date hasn't been leaked yet. There have been hints that the Galaxy S20 may be released in the first week of March. However, it appears that Samsung just might have confirmed the Galaxy S20 release date on its own website. Galaxy S20 release date will likely be March 6 If you head over to the official Samsung US website right now, the first thing you'll be greeted with is a teaser for the Unpacked event. It also invites you to "reserve" the upcoming Galaxy device. This isn't a pre-order, mind you, this is just so that Samsung can send you an email notifying you that the handset is available for pre-order once it's formally launched. Samsung has done this for most flagship launches so this doesn't really come as a surprise. You just need to p

Not only has the Galaxy S20 series been extensively leaked over the past few weeks, but so has the range of first and third-party accessories that will be sold separately. We've talked about the numerous case options before – most of which were already available for order via third-party retailer websites – but the bad news is that some of these Galaxy S20 protective case models will apparently be subjected to delays caused by the Wuhan coronavirus. The Chinese government has reportedly extended the Chinese New Year holiday in an attempt to minimize the chances of the Wuhan coronavirus spreading. This means that factories in China will reopen for business later than usual, and third-party smartphone accessory manufacturers will face difficulties in making their products available around February 11 when the Galaxy S20 series will be unveiled. They've already started sending out emails to retailers, informing them of the unfortunate pushback. Official Galaxy S20 cases sho

Chromebooks help teachers stay organized, jazz up their lesson plans, and collaborate with students. But did you know they can improve the way schools administer assessments? With a secure platform, Chromebooks are ideal for formative assessments, like state exams, or pop quizzes throughout the year. While testing is key in tracking students' progress, it often only happens at the end of the year, semester, or unit. That's too late to fix a concept that students don't understand, but educators can use Chromebooks to check in along the way. Many testing solutions, one device Let's check out three ways instructors and schools can use Chromebooks for better assessments - and how you can now use accessibility apps and extensions to support all learners while test taking. 1. Helping to cut distractions during test time  Many instructors use Google Forms Quizzes for formative assessments and understanding student progress. But we've heard instructors worry i

Each year, the Unicode Consortium reviews a seemingly infinite number of proposals that result in a list of emoji to be added to smartphones. Then companies like Google design the emoji for their operating systems like Android.  This week, Unicode announced their 62 new emoji, along with skin tone and gender variants, for 2020. The list has us feeling 🤗, because five of the approved designs were proposed by the Android team. They're also part of our ongoing effort to create an emoji keyboard that's more inclusive. Here's a look at all five: More representation for a variety of families Until this year, the only emoji that depicts childcare is the "breastfeeding" emoji. Since an inability to breastfeed doesn't preclude you from nurturing your child, we proposed First, " person feeding baby with a bottle "—an emoji that everyone can use. (Though in my opinion, as a mother of twins, parenthood is already representable with🌪️💩.)

The Galaxy Book S was officially unveiled half a year ago but it is just now making its way onto store shelves in the USA . Prospective buyers will be able to pre-order the Galaxy Book S beginning today – January 30. And with hours ahead of the pre-order window opening, Samsung has published an infographic to remind us what this 2-in-1 laptop is all about. Ultra-slim, ultra-light, great battery life The Galaxy Book S is one of the thinnest and lightest 2-in-1s on the market. Weighing just 0.96Kg, it crams a big enough battery in a slick 11.8mm profile to offer up to 25 hours of video playback on a single charge. That's video playback on a 13.3-inch Full HD 10-point multi-touch display. Easy connectivity, powered by smartphone features The infographic further reminds customers in the USA that the Galaxy Book S has built-in LTE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, the device possesses a bit of smartphone DNA as it comes with a fingerprint scanner and an in

Samsung hopes to change the shape of the future with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip , and the company's plan to achieve this might commence as early as February 14 when the device was last rumored to hit the shelves. Leaks will likely keep pouring until then, and the latest such unofficial report reveals a couple of new details about the unannounced Galaxy Z Flip, such as the inclusion of stereo speakers. Galaxy Z Flip to have a 'Focus Display' According to the latest rumor passed along via Twitter , the Galaxy Z Flip's small exterior panel will measure 1.05 inches and,  because it's so small , it won't be called a Cover Display. Instead, Samsung reportedly calls it a 'Focus Display' which seems to be appropriate given the panel's function to deliver notifications and other bits of information in a condensed format. Stereo speakers, 12W wireless charging are also said to be included The Galaxy Z Flip will reportedly be equipped with ster

Stars are magical. Van Gogh painted them. Shakespeare wrote about them. We make wishes on them.  On the Google Earth team, we understand people's desire to see stars just as much as they want to see Planet Earth. The Google Earth mobile app now offers wide views of our starry universe, just as Earth for the web and Earth Pro have done for some time. As smartphones and tablets have become more powerful, we've been able to bring the quality of Earth's web and Pro versions to most smartphones. You can now see a view of the stars as you zoom out from Earth on your phone. Rotate the globe and you'll see images of the beautiful Milky Way, collected from the European Southern Observatory, depicting the stars as they'd appear to a space explorer at a point some 30,000 miles above the planet.  Before we added the star imagery, the sky around the "big blue marble" view in Google Earth was simply black, which wasn't very realisti
