Smart speakers are some of the newest and hottest products in smart home technology. A good smart speaker like Google Home can be an all-in-one solution to home automation, communication, and entertainment. But, is there a nefarious side to the smart speaker world we didn’t even realize existed and should we examine Google Gome privacy? If you hadn’t heard (pun intended) our sister site SoundGuys has a new podcast. The first three episodes just hit iTunes and Google Play Music, and we’re all really excited about it.

At a news conference today, Huawei announced it will open its very first European store in Vienna this summer (via Reuters). The Huawei Austria shop will be the first store from the company to open outside of its native China. There are three major Austrian wireless carriers: A1 Telekom Austria, controlled by Mexico’s America Movil, Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile Austria, and Hutchison Whampoa’s Drei Austria.

LG announced it would showcase a 5-inch OLED flexible screen at SID this week, along with the world’s first full HD 7-inch LCD display. There’s a serious rivalry going on in Korea over the leadership in the booming OLED business.

LG has never been known for its prompt Android version updates. Last year, Android 9 started rolling out to devices in August, but LG users didn’t see a public stable release until nine months later. LG is trying to make up for its previous shortcomings this time around. Today, it is announcing the start of an Android 10 public preview program in Korea. LG plans to release the official update by the end of the year.

TheSamsung Galaxy S20 series is less than a month away from its expected reveal, and the stream of leaks continues to run. Yesterday, we got a look at what appears to be official Samsung renders, and we now have even more official-looking renders to check out. The new images come via ever-reliable German outlet WinFuture, showing the Galaxy S20 in apparent Cosmic Grey, Cloud Blue, and Cloud Pink color schemes.

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR A leak has surfaced showing what appears to be a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra backplate. The camera module looks very different from early renders. Readers who disliked the leaked renders might like this better, but it’s bound to still be divisive.

Notably, it sticks with the notion that the shape of the phone could harken back to the Note line.
