When Google Allo first premiered, people were actually most impressed – not by the messaging platform’s features, which were lacking – but by the Google Assistant companion that accompanied it. It was the first glimpse we got of an entity that’s slated to reside not only in Allo, but also in Google Home and Pixel devices. But now it appears that any device running Nougat, even if they aren’t #MadeByGoogle, can house the search giant’s affable assistant.
We’ve learned quite a bit already about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 and have even seen a few renders. Now, though, we have our very first look at what appears to be a real-life image of the Galaxy S10 from trusted smartphone industry leaker @EVLeaks (a.k.a. Evan Blass).
According to Blass, the model depicted in the image below is the “Beyond 1” variant of the Samsung Galaxy S10, which essentially means the “vanilla” model.

I’m sure that until now you’ve heard us on repeated occasions mentioning a rumored Samsung SM-C101 device. Samsung’s upcoming creation is said to have a camera powerful enough to beat even Nokia’s camera phones, a medium size screen with modest resolutions and, most important, phone capabilities.

The controller has been given the Duo name as it can be used with smartphones, Samsung Gear VR, and Oculus Go over Bluetooth and computers over 2.4GHz wireless. Users can jump between the two settings using a physical switch on the accessory.
SteelSeries states that the Stratus Duo features a 20+ hour battery life, durable build quality, and Magnetic Hall Technology for a premium trigger experience.
Honestly, the Stratus Duo’s biggest fault is the fact that it charges over microUSB.
Towards the end of 2014 LG announced its first mobile System-on-a-Chip (SoC), the octa-core NUCLUN. The chip debuted in the LG G3 Screen, a smartphone developed specifically for the Korean market, but since then it hasn’t been used in any smartphones.
At the time of its release LG was quite buoyant about the benefits of building its own SoC. “NUCLUN opens up a new chapter in LG’s history of innovation in the mobile industry,” said Dr.
