If you thought Samsung couldn’t add any more useful features — like the built-in TV remote function — to the Galaxy S4, think again. The company’s latest Android-powered flagship smartphone comes with a little something called S Translator. Its job is, as its name suggests, help users survive in certain places where the people do not speak their native language, through the power of translation. Such a feature would surely be useful the next time you venture out of your home country.
Android Auto support has been put in a large number of cars on the road, allowing owners to navigate to their destination with Google Maps, listen to their playlists and more much. However, all of them require the use of a connected smartphone in order to work, either with a cable or, in a few instances, wirelessly. The good news is Google has been working on a standalone version of Android Auto that will work without a smartphone for a while now.

The Exynos 4412 is made at 32nm, so it should be more efficient than the Tegra 3 at maximum load, which was made at 40 nm, but not sure if overall, too, because Tegra 3 has that 5th core for lower-end tasks.

Xiaomi said the Poco F2 Pro will retail for €499 (~$559) in Europe, but it looks like the company may have been less than forthcoming about actual pricing. According to NotebookCheck, the phone’s real price actually starts somewhat higher.
The outlet noted that Xiaomi Germany’s website lists the Poco F2 Pro starting price at €599 (~$671). It’s also worth noting that Xiaomi Spain currently sells the base model for €529, but machine-translation suggests that the €499 price will go into effect on June 6.
