| Rams vs Saints live stream: how to watch the NFL playoffs online from anywhere Posted: 20 Jan 2019 11:50 AM PST The 2019 Super Bowl is so close we can almost taste it! But first comes the NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams on the former's home turf. To see which team will earn a spot in this year's ultimate show down stick with this article to see how to live stream the Rams vs Saints from absolutely anywhere on Earth. When the two teams met earlier this season the Saints took a 45-35 victory which ruined the Ram’s previously undefeated season. But of course the stakes are much higher in today’s game the franchises go head-to-head once again at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
The Saints are coming off of a 20-14 victory in the NFC Divisional Round against Super Bowl LII champs the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Rams defeated the Dallas Cowboys 30-22 in last weekend’s match. The Saints will go into today’s game without the help of Sheldon Rankins on defense and the loss of Cooper Kupp has been detrimental to the Rams. The Rams will be fighting for revenge against the Saints and this is especially true of Marcus Peters who had problems with the Saints’ Sean Payton last time the two teams meet. Whether you’re a Rams fan in Los Angeles, a Saints fan in New Orleans or a football fan anywhere else in the world, we’ll show you exactly how to live stream the NFC Championship on your favorite devices so that you don’t miss a minute of the action.
How to watch the Rams vs Saints game online from anywhere in the worldIf you're in the US or UK and want to know how to catch the NFC Championship final, then keep scrolling and we'll tell you your best live stream and viewing options. But if there are absolutely no ways to watch in your country - or if a coverage blackout is stopping you from watching in the US - then we can suggest a clever alternative (and no, it doesn't involve finding some dodgy feed on Reddit). Using a VPN - or Virtual Private Network - you can change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have a stream so that you can watch the NFC Championship from anywhere in the world. The process is very straightforward... How to watch the Rams vs. the Saints in the USFootball fans in the US that have a television will be able to watch the Rams vs the Saints live on Fox beginning at 3.05pm ET / 12.05pm PT. The Fox Sports app can also be used to stream the game to your mobile devices but you will have to login using the credentials from your cable account. If signing up for a premium cable subscription just to watch the NFL seems to much for you, don’t worry as we’ll breakdown all of the other ways to stream the Rams vs the Saints online below. Can I watch on the NFL Game Pass?If you're a subscriber to the NFL Game Pass, then you probably already know the answer to this. You can, but only after the game is over. Game Pass viewers aren't able to watch live, only replays - presumably because it would be in detriment to the (very expensive) TV rights of other broadcasters. It's a different story with an International NFL Game Pass that's currently available for just $25.99 (£19.99). Shame you can't officially get access to that if you're in the US and so is your laptop's IP address.

Today’s game will see Patriots quarterback Tom Brady go up against this season’s MVP favorite in Patrick Mahomes. Mahones has really shined during his first season as a full-time starter with 50 touchdowns and he will certainly be one to watch during today’s game. The stakes will certainly be high as the Patriots look to make it through to their third consecutive Super Bowl. The Chiefs on the other hand, have only won the Super Bowl once and that was back in 1970 - time to tear up the history books?

| Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus release date, price, news and leaks Posted: 20 Jan 2019 10:35 AM PST The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is set to be the biggest and most expensive of a trio of new smartphones coming from the South Korean firm in February. Likely to launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Lite, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus could well be the best of the range. The S10 range is confirmed to be landing on February 20, and ahead of that we've heard a lot, thanks to a swath of Galaxy S10 Plus leaks and rumors that have hit the web in recent months. From what we can tell so far, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus could be very different to the Galaxy S9 Plus, with a new design and numerous new features. Update: A leaked photo seemingly shows the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus in the wild, giving us a good look at the front of the phone. You'll find full details on all the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus rumors below, as well as information on the Galaxy S10 Plus release date and possible price. We'll also be sure to update this article whenever credible information emerges, so be sure to check back here regularly if you want to keep up to date on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.
Cut to the chase
Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus release date and priceHottest news:
Samsung has sent out invitations to the unveiling of the S10 range on February 20, at an event in San Francisco. All will be revealed at 11am PT (2pm ET, 7pm GMT) on that date, in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. That's earlier than we'd expected, with most previous rumors pointing to MWC 2019, which takes place from February 25-28. However, February 20 had also been rumored. It's worth noting that the S10, let alone the S10 Plus, isn't mentioned by name in Samsung's invite, but we're clearly going to see the new range, and the S10 Plus is sure to be among the announced handsets. Of course, that's probably not when you'll be able to buy the phone. The only rumor there points to a March 8 date for most of the range, and March 29 for the top-end 5G model, which might be called the Samsung Galaxy S10 X according to this source. It's also likely that when the phone launches EE will stock it in the UK, as the network already lets you register for updates on "the new Samsung Galaxy". There aren't any Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus price rumors yet, but given that the Galaxy S9 Plus launched for $840 / £869 / AU$1,349 we’d expect the S10 Plus will cost at least that much. We have however heard a rumor that the S10 Lite will cost around 800,000 won (roughly $710, £550, AU$990) to 900,000 won (around $800, £620, AU$1,110), while the 5G S10 will supposedly cost around 1.6 million won (around $1,430, £1,110, AU$1,980) to 1.8 million won (roughly $1,600, £1,250, AU$2,230). So the S10 Plus is likely to fall somewhere between the two. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is sure to be at least as expensive as the S9 Plus Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus design and displayHottest leaks:
Our latest real look at the possible design of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus comes from a leaked photo showing the phone from the front. You can see that there's a pill-shaped camera cut-out, as has been widely rumored, and very little bezel. In response to the image, another source who claimed have the handset said that it was lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, despite being around the same size. Credit: Reddit Another update from famed leaker Evan Blass shows the S10 Plus together with the S10 and S10E complete in clear cases. From this picture (below) it looks like the S10 Plus will have a triple-lens rear camera and a dual-lens front-facing camera. You can see the pinhole on the front of the S10 Plus (far right) is wider, perhaps hiding two lenses. It also looks very much as though the fingerprint sensor will be built into the front display. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus leak (credit: Evan Blass) We've also seen two leaked images, showing it from the back, but oddly they don't match up with each other. As you can see below, they both show a phone with a triple-lens camera, but the color of the camera block differs and the size of the lenses possibly does as well, so it's possible that only one or neither of these images is right, or that they show different phones - perhaps one shows the S10 while the other shows the Galaxy S10 Plus. The images otherwise do line up, showing a slightly curved back, probably made of glass, and a frame that looks to be made of metal. Is the Galaxy S10 Plus in line for a triple camera setup? (credit: SlashGear / Weibo) We've also seen an image possibly showing a prototype of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus from the front where you can see there's a dual-lens camera in a corner notch (as opposed to it being cut into the screen as some leaks show). You can see this below. The Galaxy S10 Plus may have hardly any bezels (credit: SlashLeaks) Elsewhere, we've seen renders of the Galaxy S10 Plus in a case, complete with four cameras on the back (rather than the three pictured above). There's also a dual-lens camera on the front but it's cut into the screen rather than extending from the top edge. We've also seen a video showing a case supposedly built for the phone. While the case itself is nothing new, what the video does demonstrate is its size relative to other handsets. The 6.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus fits neatly into it, as does the 6.4-inch Oppo Find X, but the 6.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is too big. That supports rumors that the Galaxy S10 Plus has a screen of roughly 6.4 inches but with smaller bezels than its predecessor. So in other words, the S10 Plus might be around the same size as the S9 Plus despite having a bigger screen. Previously we saw some leaked renders shared by OnLeaks (a reliable leaker), which gave a more complete look at the possible design of the Galaxy S10 Plus. The renders, which you can see below, show a cut-out in the screen for a dual-lens front-facing camera, but the bezels are very slim. The images also show a quad-lens camera on the back (check the camera section below for more information on this). An earlier version of these images showed three cameras and larger bezels, but this was apparently inaccurate, though was more in line with some of the photos above. There's also a 3.5mm headphone port on the bottom edge, a curved display and what looks to be a metal frame and glass back, shown in both black and ‘Ice Blue’. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is apparently 157.5 x 75.0 x 7.8mm, rising to 9mm at the camera bump, which makes it a similar size to the 158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5mm Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, despite apparently having a larger 6.4-inch screen. That screen apparently has a QHD resolution, according to this source, which more or less lines up with a benchmark for one of the S10 models, which lists the phone as having a 1440 x 3040 resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Further benchmarks, this time specific to the Galaxy S10 Plus, confirm the aspect ratio and resolution. We've heard more than once that the screen might be 6.4 inches, which means rumors that put it at 6.2 inches are almost certainly false. Most recently the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus screen has been pegged at 6.44 inches. You can't get much more exact that that (if true). As for the pinhole camera in the pictures above, there's plenty of evidence for that. In fact, Samsung itself has announced a screen with a pinhole camera, dubbed the 'Infinity-O', though hasn't said what devices this display would be used for. A patent filed by the company also shows such a design. Credit: LetsGoDigital More recently we've seen mock-ups shared by renowned tipster Evan Blass that point to very small pinhole notches being cut out in the center of the display. At this stage it seems no one really knows where those holes are going to be. The pictures show the comparative screen sizes of the three devices that Samsung might launch in its new range: the S10 Lite, the S10, and the S10 Plus. Samsung Galaxy S10 leak (credit: @evleaks) Another source has also said that at least one of the S10 models will have a "punch hole" camera, along with three rear cameras and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. So there's a high chance that the camera will indeed be built into the screen. As for that ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner, that's another Galaxy S10 Plus rumor we've heard about plenty of times. Several phones such as the OnePlus 6T and Huawei Mate 20 Pro already have in-screen scanners, so it wouldn't be surprising if Samsung stuck one on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. More than just being in-screen though, this is rumored to be a third-generation ultrasonic scanner from Qualcomm, which should be more secure than most in-screen scanners, as many are optical, meaning they take a 2D scan of your print, while ultrasonic ones capture a 3D picture. However, while it might gain an in-screen scanner, the Galaxy S10 Plus could lose the range's iris scanner, according to multiple reports. Though face scanning is likely to remain. And while the renders above are our best guess for the design of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus so far, there are some other possibilities. Samsung has also announced a screen with seemingly no notch, no significant bezel and no pinhole for the camera, so there's a chance that will be used. You can see how that might look in the image below, though we’d take this picture with a huge side of salt – it's one of the older Galaxy S10 leaks and another source has suggested it's inaccurate. Credit: @UniverseIce We've also seen multiple images of a screen protector supposedly for the Galaxy S10. This is likely for the standard model rather than the Galaxy S10 Plus, but the two phones will probably have a similar design and you can see here too that there's seemingly a bezel-free look. Though in the case of these screen protectors it's always possible that they just didn't bother making a cut-out for the camera, since the protector is transparent anyway. Credit: @UniverseIce Whatever the look of the phone, it's sure to be different to the S9 range, as Samsung's mobile division CEO has said to expect a "very significant" makeover. There could also be some different colors on offer. As well as the ones pictured above, we've also heard rumors of grey, blue, red, green and yellow shades, while Samsung itself may have hinted at silver, green, black, blue and red shades in a presentation. The phone might also have a glossy finish according to one report. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus camera and batteryHottest leaks:
Multiple sources have claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus will have a triple-lens rear camera. More specifically, a report has said that the phone will have a 12MP f/1.5-f/2.4 variable aperture lens, a 16MP f/1.9 aperture lens with a 123-degree field of view, and a 13MP f/2.4 aperture lens. Those specs have come up more than once, with another source saying the phone will have a 12MP wide-angle lens, a 16MP super wide-angle lens and a 13MP telephoto lens. Similarly, leaker Evan Blass has said that at least one S10 model will have a wide-angle lens, a standard lens and a telephoto lens. We've heard those specs a number of times now. The Galaxy S10 Plus is also thought to have a dual-lens front-facing camera. That's a claim we've heard more than once. That would make for five cameras total, but one of these reports even talks about a Samsung phone with six cameras, and the renders above also show four rear cameras (along with two on the front). It sounds like this might be an even higher end model though, and a source has tried to clear up the confusion, saying that the Galaxy S10 Plus will have three rear cameras, as will the standard Galaxy S10, with the S10 Lite having two. They don't mention a four lens camera here, but in a later tweet the same leaker talks about the 'top' Galaxy S10 model having a 6.7-inch screen, an extra Time of Flight sensor on the front and back and 5G support, so it sounds like that might have four rear lenses. However, it might not be widely available, as they also say it's coming to the US and South Korea, with no other countries mentioned. As for the battery, one rumor about that so far comes from the image of cases for the S10 range below. The largest case has 4,000 written on it, which could mean a 4,000mAh battery. Credit: @UniversIce That would mean a battery the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and bigger than the 3,500mAh Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. It's also a rumor that we've heard more than once. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus may also benefit from a new fast charging tech as well, with Wireless Quick Charge 2.0 tipped to feature in the handset. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus powerHottest leaks:
The exact specs of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus will probably depend on what country you're in, as Samsung typically gives US buyers a Snapdragon-powered handset and those in most other countries an Exynos one. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is thought to be no exception, and Samsung has announced the Exynos chip likely to be powering it in much of the world. Dubbed the Exynos 9820, this is an octa-core chipset built on an 8nm process, making it smaller than its 10nm predecessor. It's said to offer up to 20% better single-core performance, up to 15% better multi-core performance and up to 40% better power efficiency than the Exynos 9810 powering the Samsung Galaxy S9 range. It also apparently delivers 10% less power consumption, and the GPU is said to provide up to 40% better performance or up to 35% better power efficiency. Those are some impressive numbers and they don’t end there. The Exynos 9820 also supports mobile download speeds of up to 2Gbps, 8K video recording at up to 30fps and displays of up to 3840 x 2400 or 4096 x 2160. It also has a NPU (neural processing unit), which can apparently carry out AI tasks up to seven times faster than the previous Exynos chip. Good as all that sounds though an early benchmark for the chip, seemingly running in a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, revealed a score that’s lower than the iPhone XS and the rest of Apple’s latest handsets, though it was still higher than any current Android phone. Those in the US might get a better chipset, as the recently announced Snapdragon 855 is almost certainly going to be used, and this is 7nm, making it even smaller and likely more efficient than the Exynos 9820. This chipset has also been subject to an early benchmark, and it scores not just higher than the Exynos 9820 but higher than any other handset, including Apple's. However, that was for the chipset rather than the S10 Plus specifically, and it was an AnTuTu benchmark, whereas a Geekbench result which seems to specifically be for the Snapdragon 855 version of the S10 Plus showed worse results than Apple's latest phones. Despite that, Qualcomm has said that the chipset will offer twice the performance of an unnamed 7nm rival - likely meaning Apple's chip, but possibly referring to Huawei's Kirin 980. The Snapdragon 855 is also confirmed to support 5G and to have the world's first computer vision image signal processor, which is a chip dedicated to processing photos and videos. It's additionally rumored to have three sets of cores - four 1.78GHz power-saving cores, three 2.42GHz high-end cores and one 2.84GHz 'gold' core. It also apparently has a dedicated NPU for AI tasks and offers all-round performance boosts, with a particular focus on gaming, augmented reality and photography. As for RAM, one report puts that at up to 12GB, along with up to 1TB of storage, but in both cases that would be more than any other phone, so we’re not at all sure of that. What we might get is an 8GB RAM chip that Samsung itself has announced and which can reduce power consumption by up to 30% and has a data rate that's apparently 1.5 times as fast as current flagship RAM chips. Though notably this RAM hasn’t been linked specifically to the Galaxy S10 range just yet. We've elsewhere heard that the Galaxy S10 Plus could have a choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM coupled with 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of storage, while a 5G model might come with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage. Most current benchmarks meanwhile list just 6GB. As for storage, Samsung is set to start using UFS 3.0 storage early in 2019. This both takes up less space than current storage in phones and is up to two times faster. If Samsung does use that then presumably the smallest storage size of the Galaxy S10 Plus will be 128GB or higher as has been rumored, up from 64GB in the Galaxy S9 Plus, as this UFS 3.0 storage starts at 128GB. We have a good idea of the software that the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus will run too. It will use Android of course, almost certainly Android 9 Pie, but Samsung has announced a new One UI which is likely to be laid on top of that. One UI is particularly focused on making it more comfortable to interact with large phones using one hand, which should be useful on Samsung’s plus-sized flagship. We've also heard rumor of a “life pattern” mode, which would use AI to automatically adjust aspects of the phone based on your usage.

| Samsung Galaxy S10 release date, price, news and leaks Posted: 20 Jan 2019 10:30 AM PST We're closing in on the Samsung Galaxy S10 release date, with the official Unpacked launch event happening next month in San Francisco, where we'll be reporting on it live. You don't have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy S10 launch date of February 20, however. New Galaxy S10 leaks have potentially given us an early look at what we suspect Samsung's smartphone for 2019 might look like. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is shaping up to be a more significant upgrade compared to last year's relatively incremental spec bump from the Galaxy S8 to the Galaxy S9. It's enough of a tempt all of those holdouts who are waiting for the next big thing in order to upgrade their Samsung phone. It's rumored to have a fresh-looking all-screen display with less bezel at the top. Not only that, it may have 'hole punch' front-facing camera embedded in the screen's top right corner. We may also see Samsung adopt an in-screen fingerprint sensor and be the first to launch a phone with the Snapdragon 855 chipset (in the US variant, at least).
Of course, you may have a few more choices this time around. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is likely to be joined by the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and maybe even the Galaxy S10 Lite or S10 E, a 'lite' version of the new smartphone meant to take on the iPhone XR. Seems like a lot all at once? We're a month out there will be even more leaks to pour over. After all, the Galaxy S10 is Samsung's 10th anniversary Android phone. It has been teasing a few surprises for us in February. Here's what we know to date. Cut to the chase
Samsung Galaxy S10 release dateHottest news:
The Samsung Galaxy S10 launch date is confirmed as Wednesday, February 20, meaning we'll see the smartphone days before MWC 2019, which takes place from February 25-28. Samsung itself has revealed the date, along with the time and location: the Galaxy S10 will be unveiled at 11am PT (2pm ET, 7pm GMT) at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. We've heard that date rumored before, so it doesn't come as a complete surprise, though some other rumors put forward different dates. Of course, that's just when the S10 will be announced - it might not go on sale for another week or two. The only rumor there points to a March 8 sale date in South Korea, and we'd expect to see it in other countries on or around the same day. That's for the three main models (the S10, S10 Lite and S10 Plus). However the source adds that the 5G S10 - which might be called the Galaxy S10 X - will land in stores on March 29. Whenever the S10 range lands, it's likely to be sold by EE in the UK, as the network already lets you register for updates on it. That said, we'd expect just about all networks to offer one or more models of the S10. Samsung's next S model will likely land in early 2019 Samsung Galaxy S10 priceHottest leaks:
When the S10 does go on sale it's sure to cost a lot, at least for the higher-end models, the most basic version might be fairly reasonable (if still expensive) though. One price rumor puts the budget Galaxy S10 Lite model at $650-$750 (roughly £500-£585 / AU$900-AU$1,040), while another rumor has the Samsung Galaxy S10 price rise to £799 which will likely be around $779 (around AU$1,400) for the 128GB variant and £999 for 512GB of storage. Elsewhere, we've heard that the cheapest model (presumably the Galaxy S10 Lite) will cost between around 800,000 won (roughly $710, £550, AU$990) and 900,000 won (around $800, £620, AU$1,110). The same source claims that the top-end 5G model will cost between 1.6 million won (around $1,430, £1,110, AU$1,980) and 1.8 million won (roughly $1,600, £1,250, AU$2,230), making it around twice as expensive. Samsung Galaxy S10 vs S10 Plus vs S10 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy S10 is unlikely to arrive alone, with a trio of handsets tipped to launch at the firm's next Unpacked event. While we've become used to seeing a pair of Samsung flagships launch together each year as far back as the Galaxy S6 in 2015, this time around all the Galaxy S10 leaks are pointing towards three or more phones. There's the standard Samsung Galaxy S10 that's detailed here, along with the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and a new entry in the Galaxy S10 Lite - a smaller, low resolution and likely lesser powered handsets at a hopefully more affordable price point. A recent rumor suggests that the S10 Lite could actually land as the Galaxy S10 E, though not everyone agrees. But wait – we could even get a fourth Galaxy S10 handsets, as rumors of a big-screened, 5G variant have also begun to crop up. And, of course, Samsung teasing is almost certainly going to be teasing its foldable phone at the S10 launch event. Samsung Galaxy S10 design and displayHottest leaks:
The first alleged Samsung Galaxy photo arrived as we rang in 2019, and it shows a more expansive all-screen display, one that displaces the top bezel in favor of a tiny front-facing camera embedded into the top right side of the screen. This is Samsung's answer to the notch cut out, and you can expect the company to come up with a clever name for this black hole that disrupts its Infinity Display. Evan Blass also leaked the image you can see below, showing three Galaxy S10 phones – the S10E, the S10 and the S10 Plus – inside clear cases. You can see a dual-lens rear camera on the cheaper S10E, and a triple-lens rear camera on the S10 and S10 Plus phones. It also looks like the S10 Plus has a dual-lens front-facing camera – note the wider pinhole cut out in the display – and it looks like all three phones will have fingerprint sensors built into the screen. Samsung Galaxy S10 leak (credit: Evan Blass) We've also now seen a render from Samsung itself that possibly shows the phone. You can see this below and note the curved screen, tiny bezels and pinhole camera. This was posted in an article on Samsung Newsroom, then quickly replaced with a more generic picture, suggesting it was an accident. This could be an accidental official look at the Samsung Galaxy S10 (Credit: Reddit / qgtx) These leaks match previous case renders which include parts of the phone. You can see them below and will note that there's a cut-out in the top left corner of the screen for a single-lens camera, while on the back there are three cameras. That back looks to be glass and the frame is likely metal. You can also see it alongside the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite (which sports a similar design) and the S10 Plus, which adds extra cameras. We've also had a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, thanks to some leaked renders which you can see below. The renders, which come from a fairly reliable source (@OnLeaks) show a handset with an angular Galaxy Note-like design, but more importantly it has a camera cutout in the screen. This is a new idea for Samsung and it's a bigger cut-out than you might have expected, as it's housing two cameras. However, the bezels around the screen are tiny at least. The back of the Galaxy S10 Plus shown here has a quad-lens camera arranged horizontally and is shown in both black and 'Ice Blue'. Note that originally renders showing a triple-lens camera and larger bezels were leaked, but these were apparently inaccurate. Other details in the images include a 3.5mm headphone port and it looks like the phone has a glass back and a metal frame. Dimensions meanwhile are apparently 157.5 x 75.0 x 7.8mm, rising to 9mm at the camera bump. We may also have now seen photos of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, which you can see below. Two leaked images both show a handset with two rear cameras, but the color of the camera block and possibly the size of the lenses differs. That might mean only one of these shots is accurate, or we could be looking at the standard Samsung Galaxy S10 in one and the Galaxy S10 Plus in the other. In any case, cameras aside the back is likely to be similar on both handsets and indeed it looks similar in these shots, with slightly curved edges and a likely glass build. Another image (also below) shows the possible front of the S10 Plus, complete with a corner notch. We'd take all of this with a pinch of salt and as this is probably the Plus model it might not be entirely representative of the standard S10, but they're likely to look similar, and according to Samsung's own mobile business chief, DJ Koh, the Samsung Galaxy S10 will have some "very significant" design changes and come in some "amazing" colors. One leak from OnLeaks suggests those colors may be Black, Grey, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow, while in announcing some software Samsung may have hinted that the phone will come in silver, green, black, blue and pink shades and will have a 3.5mm headphone port. Another source meanwhile says the standard S10 and S10 Plus will come in white, black, green and blue, while the Galaxy S10 Lite will additionally come in yellow. We've heard that claim more than once now, along with a suggestion that it might have a glossy finish. Recently we've seen pictures shared by Evan Blass that show the pinhole notch in the center of the screen. You can see the three sizes of display on show for the S10 Lite, the S10, and the S10 Plus too. At this stage it seems no one is really sure where the screen notch is going to be. Samsung Galaxy S10 leak (credit: @evleaks) Meanwhile, a benchmark for a mystery Samsung phone which could be the S10 points to a 19:9 aspect ratio, which would make it taller than the 18.5:9 Galaxy S9 - benchmarks for the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Plus have also surfaced suggesting the 19:9 aspect ratio. Along with that the benchmark suggests a resolution of 1440 x 3040, which would be a slight boost, and there's every chance that to achieve those things Samsung would slim the bezels, fitting a larger, sharper screen into the same size body. One thing the Galaxy S10 might not have though, is a notch, because, as noted by T3, Samsung has taken to Twitter to criticize the notch on the Google Pixel 3 XL, so presumably it won't be going down that route for its next flagship. Having said that, the company has now revealed several new screens, some of which do have notches. And a source claims that the most basic S10 model will have a flat 'Infinity-O' display, which is one of these new screens and has a circular cut-out towards the left edge of the display, rather than a conventional notch. This would be a bit like the hole pictured in the renders above. We've heard similar from another reliable source, saying that at least one model (though in this case it sounds like a higher-end one) will have a "punch hole" style selfie camera cut-out. The image below gives another idea of how that might look. This is from a patent filed by Samsung, though it doesn't have the Galaxy S10 name attached. Could this be how the Galaxy S10 looks? (credit: LetsGoDigital) A pinhole camera of some kind is looking very likely, especially now that Samsung has announced the Galaxy A8S with just such a camera. Though if you're put off by the size of the camera on that phone, don't be - another leak suggests the S10's will be smaller. It's possible - if very unlikely - that Samsung will go further though and launch a phone with no bezels, notch or pinhole camera. Indeed, a leaked screen protector apparently for the Samsung Galaxy S10 shows a design with virtually no bezels, no notch and seemingly no camera cut-out. You can see that below. Since then, the same source has shared another image showing either the same screen protector or a very similar one, as you can see below. Once again, there's no obvious camera cut-out, no notch and basically no bezels. This could be a screen protector for the Galaxy S10. (credit: Ice universe) We've also seen a photo, possibly showing a prototype of the Samsung Galaxy S10 (though notably the source didn't refer to it by name but did say "this may be a design beyond", and 'Beyond' is believed to be the codename of the Galaxy S10). The image, which you can see below, shows a handset with a curved screen and almost no bezel on any edge. There seems to be less bezel in fact than we've seen on any other phone, suggesting the front-facing camera may either pop up or be built into the screen. You can't see much else, but in addition to the power and volume buttons it looks like the Bixby button is making a return - if this photo really is showing the S10 and if nothing changes in the design before launch, which are two big ifs, especially as reputable leaker @OnLeaks has poured cold water on the image, claiming it's fake. This could be the all-screen Samsung Galaxy S10. (credit: @UniverseIce) When it comes to the screen though it’s worth noting that there’s sure to be more than one size. In fact, this time around there might be three or even four. One of these, apparently codenamed 'Beyond 0', is said to have a 5.8-inch screen which might be flat. That would be the most basic model, but there's also said to be 'Beyond 1', which apparently has a 5.8-inch curved screen, and 'Beyond 2', with a 6.2-inch curved screen. There’s also said to be differences in the three models’ fingerprint scanners and cameras, which we’ll get to in the relevant sections below. All of that has been given more credence thanks to people familiar with the matter speaking to Bloomberg. Those sources also confirmed the company is experimenting with a prototype that loses the 3.5mm headphone jack. However, another source has slightly disagreed on the screen sizes, saying that while the basic 'Lite' model will have a 5.8-inch one, the standard S10 will be 6.1 inches and the S10 Plus will be 6.4. Those sizes have been touted again, with Ice Universe claiming the Samsung Galaxy S10 display will measure 6.11 inches (while the S10 Lite will be 5.75 inches and the S10 Plus will be 6.44 inches). We've additionally heard talk of a possible fourth Galaxy S10 model, which according to reports could have a 6.7-inch screen, along with six cameras total (with the extra rear lens being a Time of Flight one used for judging distances), and support for 5G. One report adds that this model might only land in the US and South Korea. We've heard more about this handset too, with the exact screen size for the Galaxy S10 5G variant said to be a whopping 6.66 inches. Will Samsung Galaxy S10 be a foldable phone?One thing you shouldn't expect is a foldable phone. Not from the flagship Samsung Galaxy S10, at least. The Infinity Flex Display concept Samsung showed off on November 7, 2018 made it clear: the company's foldable phone design is very much that: a concept. Samsung could launch a foldable variant to the Galaxy S10, however, and the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy X is rumored to launch in 2019. Whether it changes its name to bring in more in line with the Galaxy S10 brand remains to be seen, but this is the closest we've ever been to a folding phone. A foldable display is clearly the next big idea for Samsung, but it's starting from scratch with thick bezels, according to the steeped-in-shadow prototype we saw at the Samsung Developers Conference. Samsung Galaxy S10 biometric securityHottest leaks:
One rumor we have seen pop up numerous times is the presence of an in-screen fingerprint scanner. This would go nicely with the all-screen design that's being tipped for the phone, and would see the Galaxy S10 follow in the footsteps of the likes of the OnePlus 6T and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. A report claims that it will use an ultrasonic Qualcomm scanner, and that Samsung has felt pressured to include it due to Vivo and Huawei both having phones with in-screen scanners. Reliable leaker Evan Blass has also spoken of an ultrasonic scanner, and multiple separate sources who spoke to The Bell have said as much too, adding that Samsung will also look to ditch the iris scanning tech in the Galaxy S10 in favor of an improved 3D face scanner - much like the one found on the iPhone X. We've heard a similar thing from South Korean media, but it suggests that we'll only see an in-display fingerprint scanner as the main way of unlocking the Samsung Galaxy S10. Either way, it's likely the iris scanner will be dropped. An earlier rumor also talks about an in-screen scanner, stating that while an in-screen scanner wouldn’t be ready in time for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, it would be ready by sometime next year, making the Samsung Galaxy S10 a candidate for one. Samsung could be moving the scanner in-screen And we now have an idea of why it took so long to be ready - because reportedly Samsung is using an ultrasonic scanner, rather than an optical one, as while the latter could apparently have been implemented years ago it's said to not be as good. More specifically, Samsung has been rumored to use a third-generation ultrasonic scanner from Qualcomm. This generation has only recently been announced and not yet used on a phone, but it could mean Samsung's in-screen scanner is the best found on any phone. Another recent report has added that while the two top-end Samsung Galaxy S10 models will apparently get an ultrasonic scanner, the most basic model will get an optical one. The difference essentially being that the ultrasonic one can map a 3D picture of your print, making it more accurate than the 2D optical option. That's at odds with another rumor though, which claims that the most basic model (the one codenamed ‘Beyond 0’), will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner instead of an in-screen one. We've heard more than once now that the basic model won't have an in-screen scanner. The other two models (apparently codenamed ‘Beyond 1’ and ‘Beyond 2’) supposedly have in-screen scanners though. But Samsung might go even further and also put the speakers in the screen, as just such a display has been shown off by Samsung Display, according to OLED Info. And the earpiece could go in the screen too, as Samsung is said to be planning a 'sound-emitting display' for use in a phone early next year, having already shown off the tech at an industry expo. All that combined could mean a truly bezel-free look, like the one shown in some of the images above. Samsung Galaxy S10 cameraHottest leaks:
An analyst reckons Samsung is considering a triple-lens camera for the Samsung Galaxy S10, along with a 3D sensor for augmented reality content. Analyst chatter isn’t always that reliable, but it would make sense if Samsung wants to compete with the Huawei P20 Pro and the rumored triple-lens iPhone. It's also a rumor that we've now heard again, with a source claiming that while the most basic model of the Galaxy S10 might have just a single-lens camera and the middle model might have a dual-lens one, the biggest (and most expensive) version of the Samsung Galaxy S10 would have a triple-lens camera. Three cameras could be better than two More recently we've heard more details on the possible specs of the triple-lens camera, with it apparently consisting of a 12MP wide-angle lens, a 16MP super wide-angle lens and a 13MP telephoto lens. An even newer report echoes those camera specs, but adds that the 12MP one will be an f/1.5-f/2.4 variable aperture lens , just like the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S9, while the 16MP lens will have an f/1.9 aperture and a 123-degree field of view, and the 13MP lens will have an f/2.4 aperture. Elsewhere, leaker Evan Blass has said to expect a triple-lens camera with one wide-angle lens, one telephoto and one standard lens. The most recent claims of all say that the S10 Lite and standard S10 will have a dual-lens camera (with a 16MP ultra-wide f/1.9 lens and a 12MP variable aperture standard lens). However, another source says that the standard Galaxy S10 will in fact be triple-lens. Some or all of the S10 models might also have a dual-lens front-facing camera according to one report, which would give the top model five lenses overall. It's not known what the extra front lens would be used for, but it's likely to improve the face unlock feature if nothing else. That's a claim that we've heard again, with sources in South Korea saying that the top-end S10 model will have two front-facing cameras and three rear ones (a 12MP wide-angle lens, a 16MP super wide-angle one and a 13MP telephoto one). They add that the standard S10 will have two on the front and two on the back, and the basic model will have one on the front and one on the back. They also mention a 5G handset with six cameras, which we've heard about before, but it's not clear whether this is an S10 model or something else. Having said that, the renders of the Galaxy S10 Plus above show six lenses, so it might be accurate. In any case, the standard Galaxy S10 is likely to have either two or three lenses. Samsung Galaxy S10 batteryHottest leaks:
One battery rumor reveals possible sizes for the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10 Lite. In the image below you can see cases seemingly for the three phones, and along with screen sizes that have been rumored before there are numbers that look like battery sizes. In which case, if they're accurate, the Samsung Galaxy S10 has a 3,500mAh one, the Galaxy S10 Plus has a 4,000mAh one and the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite has a 3,100mAh one. Credit: @UniverseIce These battery sizes have now been rumored more than once, so may well be accurate. We've also heard from another source that the rumored 5G Samsung Galaxy S10 could have the biggest battery of all, at 5,000mAh. The Samsung Galaxy S10 may well benefit from a boost to its wireless charging speeds, with reports linking the upcoming flagship with wireless Quick Charge 2.0. Samsung Galaxy S10 powerHottest leaks:
We also have an idea of what might be powering the Samsung Galaxy S10, as Samsung has announced the Exynos 9820, which is likely to power the phone in most regions outside the US. This is an octa-core chipset built on an 8nm process. That makes it smaller than the 10nm Exynos 9810 found in the Galaxy S9 and with that size reduction comes a 10% reduction in power consumption. The Exynos 9820 also offers up to 20% better single core performance, up to 40% better power efficiency, and up to 15% better multi-core performance than the Exynos 9810. Gamers meanwhile should see an even bigger benefit, with the GPU offering up to 40% better performance or up to 35% more power efficiency. The Exynos 9820 also has an integrated NPU (neural processing unit), which allows AI-related tasks to happen up to seven times faster than on the 9810. It also supports video recording at up to 8K at 30fps, displays of up to 3840 x 2400 or 4096 x 2160, single lens cameras of up to 22MP, or dual-lens ones of up to 16MP. Though don't take that as meaning the S10 will necessarily have those specs. As for mobile data download speeds, those can apparently reach up to 2Gbps, despite this chip seemingly not supporting 5G. Having said that, there is rumored to be a version of the Galaxy S10 that will support 5G, so that will presumably have to use a different chipset. We've now seen an early benchmark seemingly for the S10 Plus powered by the Exynos 9820 and it has a high score, but not as high as we'd have hoped. It beats any current Android handset, but comes in lower than the latest iPhones and lower than a benchmark for the Snapdragon 855. Another benchmark has also now emerged courtesy of AnTuTu, again showing the Exynos chip beaten by the Snapdragon 855. Speaking of which... In the US? Then you'll likely get the recently announced Snapdragon 855. This is a 7nm chipset, which is smaller and likely both more powerful and more efficient than the Snapdragon 845 found in many of 2018’s flagships. It's also smaller than the Exynos 9820. Qualcomm claims it also offers up to twice the performance of another unnamed 7nm chipset, presumably meaning either Apple's one used in the iPhone XS range or Huawei's in the Mate 20 range. The chipset also supports 5G and has a chip dedicated to processing photos and videos. This is called a 'computer vision image signal processor' and it's a world first. An early leaked benchmark for the chipset showed it beating any other smartphone chip for power, including the A12 Bionic in the iPhone XS and the Exynos 9820 benchmark mentioned above. The RAM could also be a big upgrade, as Samsung has announced that it has developed an 8GB RAM chip built on a 10nm process. This, while not confirmed for the Galaxy S10, apparently has a data rate that's 1.5 times as fast as current flagship RAM chips and can also reduce power consumption by up to 30%. One odd report has suggested the phone may sport 12GB of RAM too, that's a claim that we've now heard a second time, but it seems excessive, so we're inclined to believe the above about an 8GB RAM chip. It's also likely to be reserved for the S10 Plus model if it happens at all. Even the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite could have top specs, with a rumor pointing to the same chipset at the rest of the range. That's backed up by a benchmark seemingly showing it with a Snapdragon 855 chip and 6GB of RAM, though the scores are disappointing. However, that could just be down to the software not yet being optimized. Onboard storage could also be faster for the S10, as Samsung is set to start using UFS 3.0 storage in early 2019. This is supposedly two times faster than current phone storage modules and takes up less space, so there's more room for other components. Plus, the minimum size it comes in is 128GB, so if the S10 uses it then all models will have to have at least 128GB of storage. A couple reports even say that there could be up to 1TB of RAM in the phone, which would be far more than any other handset. However, the most basic S10 model might have more basic specs, with one source saying it will come with either a Snapdragon 845 or 855 chipset and a choice of 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. Elsewhere, we've heard that the standard Galaxy S10 will have 6GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, while the Galaxy S10 Lite will have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. As for the interface, it's likely that Samsung will use its recently-announced One UI Android overlay. Indeed, exactly that has been rumored. A rumor also talks about an AI-powered "life pattern" mode, which would automate and adjust aspects of the phone based on how you use is. Samsung Galaxy S10 nameWe’ve also heard talk that Samsung might rename the range, launching the next model as the Samsung Galaxy X rather than the Galaxy S10. That might sound unlikely, but Koh Dong-jin, the head of Samsung's mobile division, has been quoted as saying that "we have been thinking about whether we need to maintain the S moniker or the numbering system" so it's possible. More recently, a leak suggests Samsung may revive the 'Edge' moniker, which may mean this handset actually launches as the Samsung Galaxy S10 Edge. It seems unlikely though, as the 'Edge' screen which the moniker denoted is now ubiquitous across Samsung's flagship range, so it doesn't make sense to add it to the end of the Galaxy S10 name. Samsung Galaxy S10: what we want to seeAs good as the Samsung Galaxy S9 is, it’s also rather too similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8, so we hope Samsung changes things up for the S10. Here’s what we want to see. 1. A new designSamsung's smartphone design is overly familiar at this point The Samsung Galaxy S9 looks almost identical to the Galaxy S8, so it’s high time we got a new design from the South Korean company. Whether that means a notch, a new material or even a foldable phone we’ll leave to Samsung, but we want to see something new. 2. Dual or triple-lens cameras on both modelsWhile the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has a dual-lens camera, the standard Galaxy S9 only has a single-lens one. For the Galaxy S10 we want both models to have two lenses, or better yet, three. After all, the Huawei P20 Pro has landed with exactly that to stunning effect. Samsung’s been delivering top smartphone cameras for a while now, but this year it has some real competition from Huawei, so for the Galaxy S10 we want to see it take steps to get ahead. The good news is that a triple-lens camera has already been rumored, though it sounds like only the priciest model will get it. 3. An in-screen fingerprint scannerRear-facing scanners could soon be a thing of the past on high-end phones In-screen fingerprint scanners have been rumored for various Samsung phones and the Galaxy S10 is no exception, but now that other companies have launched commercially available handsets with them we might finally see Samsung roll one out. Having a scanner in the screen means it doesn’t need to take up space on the front or be awkwardly placed on the back, plus it looks high-tech enough to make owners of other phones jealous. This too has been rumored for the Galaxy S10, so there's a very real chance it will happen. 4. More vibrant photosWhile the overall quality of photos taken by the Samsung Galaxy S9 is very high, some lack vibrancy and a few are also more washed out than we’d have expected or liked. This is especially true when there’s background light, so we’d like the Samsung Galaxy S10 to be able to cope with this better. 5. Improved AR EmojiAR Emoji could really use some work AR Emoji were one of the more hyped features of the Galaxy S9 range, but they were also one of the least impressive aspects of these phones. There are a few reasons for this. Beyond their inherently gimmicky nature it can also be hard to create one that looks like you, and when recording a video of yourself using the emoji, the camera’s facial recognition isn’t powerful enough to do it justice. While AR Emoji will probably never be an essential feature, if Samsung’s going to keep using them we’d like to see them at least rival Apple’s Animoji next time around. 6. Better battery lifeBattery life is one thing that doesn’t improve with each new phone generation. In fact, sometimes it gets worse. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus you’re only really looking at a day of life. And while that might generally be okay for anyone who doesn’t mind plugging their phone in every night, it’s worth remembering that the battery will start to wear out over time, so a day of life when you buy the phone means less than a day a year or two on. As such we really want to see improvements to the battery in the Galaxy S10, whether that’s through a larger unit than the frankly small 3,000mAh one in the Galaxy S9, or just through more efficient hardware and software. 7. A totally bezel-free lookWe’ve said already that we want a new design from the Galaxy S10, but what we’d really like is a complete absence of bezels. As in no notch either, just an all-screen front. We’re not expecting this, not least because it would presumably mean building the camera and sensors into the screen, but it’s possible and would surely be less ambitious than a foldable phone, which we might also get from Samsung in 2019.

| The best wireless printers 2019: top picks for printing from your smartphone Posted: 20 Jan 2019 09:54 AM PST Welcome to our pick of the best wireless printers money can buy in 2019. The devices you'll find on this page represent the pinnacle of wireless printing. The lack of wires means these are easy to install in any office or home, and the best wireless printers are also ideal if you need to print from smartphones or tablets. So, with the best wireless printers, you can forget about having to trail cables from your PC to your printer, as all you need is a power socket and a Wi-Fi network. Your printer doesn't even need to be in the same room as your PC, which gives you more options when you're thinking of where to install it. Plus, if you're on a laptop, it means you've got the freedom to move around with the mobile device, while still being able to print from it.your Wi-Fi network is struggling to reach your wireless printer (or other devices). These days, best wireless printers will also be able to print directly from mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets, which means they are far better suited to modern life, where many of us use these devices for working on. So, read on to find out our choice of the best wireless printers money can buy, and thanks to our very own price comparison tool, you'll also get the best prices.
If you're looking for a great wireless printer which doesn't skimp on print quality for your photographs, then we don't think you will be disappointed by what the PIXMA TS9150, Canon's flagship printer, has to offer. As with the Canon PIXMA TS8050, which is also included in this list of the best wireless printers, the TS9150 supports the Canon PRINT app, so if you want to print from your smartphone or tablet, it's quick and easy to do so. It is more expensive than other wireless printers, however, but it's print quality - and ease of use - makes the high cost definitely worthwhile. The Deskjet 3630 is a fantastic wireless printer (in fact, it also sits atop our best printers list as well). It's cheap, yet offers good print speeds and the ability to connect to mobile devices without breaking the bank. The fact that it's wireless means it can be easily placed in your home or office, and it supports AirPrint. Just be wary as its ink cartridges can be pricey when picked up from shops. It doesn't quite have the build quality of HP's more expensive Envy models, but if you're looking for an initially cheap model that catches the eye when sat on a shelf, the Deskjet 3630 is a great option. Read the full review: HP Deskjet 3630 Consumables are usually expensive when it comes to printers. So it is quite surprising that one vendor, Epson, single-handedly decided to challenge that status quo by allowing users to refill their printer using ink bottles, and includes two years of ink with the package; no more expensive cartridges and instead, you have enough material to deliver 11,000 pages worth of black and color inks. The Epson EcoTank ET-2600 is one of Epson's economic printers, and it's wireless as well, so you don't need to worry about trailing wires to and from this device when you want to print. Great for the traveling professional or someone who needs a small printer for occasional use, printing photos or using the scanner function. It's a bit pricey to buy - and to run - but the flexibility and quality of the printouts is excellent. It's wireless, and there's a special Canon PRINT app for making printing from smartphones and tablets quick and easy. If you're serious about printing, then this wireless laser printer is definitely worth considering, offering loads of features that makes it a versatile printer for home or the office. It comes with wired (Ethernet/USB) and wireless (Wi-Fi/NFC) connectivity, duplex printing, decent eco settings and support for a wide range of media, the Samsung is an excellent all-rounder, and proves you don't have to skimp on features if you want to go wireless. The Epson PM-400 is a great wireless printer that excels at photo print outs, and it has an attractive design which makes it small enough to tuck away neatly, and the 4-pound printer can be easily transported wherever you go. It's incredibly easy to set up and install, but it's not the fastest wireless printer we have in this list. It's also quite pricey. However, if you want one of the best wireless printers on the market for printing off your holiday photos, the Epson PictureMate PM-400 is a fantastic choice. The M2070W is another very versatile wireless printer, with NFC compatibility for smartphones, and other online features. It has a clever Eco system that supplements the usual toner saving mode with a feature to remove images from documents by replacing bitmaps with sketches. Factor in claimed speeds of 20ppm, a clever scan to mobile feature and an effective print resolution of up to 1200dpi and you've got a wireless multifunction printer that's well worth considering. It's worth noting that this is a monochrome printer only, however. The Brother HL-3140CW is showing its age, but it remains a popular wireless printer, and for good reason. For very little cash you're getting a superb wireless color laser print that offers very good print quality at decent speeds. Of course, for such a low price it does miss out on a few features - so there's no automatic duplexing or Ethernet port, for example, but the HL-3140CW delivers superb print quality, reasonable mono running costs and good wireless features for a very low price.

| Best all-in-one printer 2019: the top picks for print, scan and copy Posted: 20 Jan 2019 09:47 AM PST If you're looking for the best all-in-one printer money can buy in 2019, then you've come to the right place. In this list, we have gathered together the very best all-in-one printers for a range of budgets. These brilliant devices can handle standard print capabilities as well as photocopying, scanning and even faxing as well. The best all-in-one printers on this list are great choices for small and medium sized businesses – and even home users. This is because you can save a decent amount of money – and space – because you don't have to buy three or four different devices for each individual task. Plus, don't think that any of these devices are simply jack of all trades, masters of none. Each printer on this best all-in-one printers guide does an excellent job of all the tasks it's built for, be it printing off documents, photo copying files or scanning images to edit on a PC. You'll still get excellent print, scan and fax quality, and our list of the best all-in-one printers will make sure you get the perfect device for your needs. The Epson Ecotank ET-3600 is our top choice for the best all-in-one printer as it can handle printing, scanning and copying with ease, and it's also very reasonably priced. However, best of all it is cheap to run, thanks to its use of ink bottles, rather than cartridges, which last longer and are cheaper to buy. Epson claims the Ecotank ET-3600 can save you around 70% on printing costs, and combined with its 3-in-1 capabilities, this makes it a must-buy for many businesses. The Canon Pixma TS6050 is an excellent all-in-one printer for many businesses, thanks to its compact size, which means it can easily be placed in the majority of offices. It's also Wi-Fi enabled, which makes choosing a spot to place it even easier. It does a great job of printing, copying and scanning, and while the print quality isn't as high as the Epson Ecotank ET-3600, its low price and small size makes it a very tempting alternative. The HP Envy 5540 All-in-One printer offers printing, scanning and photo printing, supports not just USB but Wi-Fi, Wireless Direct and AirPrint wireless printing, and it even offers automatic double-sided printing. Considering that the HP Envy 5540 All-in-One printer has a price tag that is quite a bit lower than many of its competitors makes this feature list even more impressive. However, as a budget all-in-one printer, it does mean that its print and scan quality, and speed, isn't quite as good as some of the more expensive all-in-one printers in this list. The WorkForce Pro WF-4630 is a solid all-in-one printer for small businesses and workgroups given its fast print speeds, solid print qualities and remote printing and scanning capabilities. Using the larger XL print cartridges, the WF-4630 delivers economical print costs that rival laser printers. Unlike some of the other all-in-one printers in this best of guide, the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 also features fax capabilities, and can connect directly to the internet. If you think the HP Envy 5540 is cheap, then you'll be really impressed with the price of the HP Deskjet 2130 All-in-One printer. If you only need to occasionally print, scan and photocopy documents, then this is a great choice for saving money. However, as it is so cheap, it does mean you have to make some sacrifices, so there's no wireless printing or Ethernet. If you want to share this printer on the network, then you can plug it into a router. But, for an all-in-one with a rock-bottom price, this will be a hard printer to beat.

However, if you take photos on your smartphone, and just want a printer that will do a good job of producing standard-size photos for albums, then you'll want the best photo printer that's suited to your needs and budget. One that can print wirelessly is particularly useful if you use your smartphone to take your photos. The best photo printers come in every shape and size, from budget photo printers that are easy to use, portable devices and even professional-level photo printers. Fortunately, this means that no matter what you’re looking for, you should be able to find the best photo printer for your needs. However, we know that all this choice can make finding the best photo printer for your needs a daunting task. That's why we’ve put together this list of the best photo printers you can buy in 2019. Our very own price comparison tool will also scour the internet for you and deliver the best prices. The Canon Pixma Pro-100S is, in our view, the best photo printer you can buy today. Print quality is stunning - which is perhaps the most important aspect of a photo printer, with an 8-ink dye system that produces gallery-quality prints. It can also handle print sizes of A3 and over, and it's pretty fast as well, able to print a 4 x 6-inch photo in just 34 seconds. If you take a lot of photos on your smartphone or tablet, then the wireless printing feature will be a great help as well. If you want the very best photo printer for a reasonable price, this is the one we recommend. Once you've got the PM-400 up and running, you'll have a ton of fun running off image after image. Although the print quality won't win any awards for print quality, you'll be proud to hang any of its prints on your wall or sit them on your desk. The PM-400 is a delight to look at – not that this should heavily factor into which printer you should buy. It's got a pretty bone white frame that tucks away neatly, and the 4-pound printer can be easily transported wherever you go. Read the full review: Epson PictureMate PM-400 If you need a professional photo printer that makes no compromises when it comes to print quality - and which can handle large print sizes for displays and galleries - then the Epson SureColor SC-P800 is definitely worth considering. Sure, it's expensive, but it offers a wide range of features, professional color calibration and even tools for fine artists. This is not a photo printer for beginners wanting to print out a few holiday snaps, but if you work with photos for your profession, this is the best photo printer for you. The HP Sprocket Photo Printer is a small, hand-sized, photo printer which isn't for printing out professional-quality photos, but is a quick, easy and fun way to instantly print out your digital snaps - essentially turning any digital camera into a Polaroid-esque instant printer. It doesn't use ink, so you don't have to worry about buying replacement cartridges - instead it uses heat to transform a pre-dyed sheet of paper into your photos. It runs on batteries and has a stylish design as well. The Canon Pixma TS8050 is great for the travelling professional or someone who needs a small printer for occasional use, printing photos or using the scanner function. It's a bit pricey to buy - and to run - but the flexibility and quality of the printouts is excellent, making this a worthy choice when looking for the best photo printer for your needs. If you're looking for a great all-round printer which doesn't skimp on print quality for your photographs, then we don't think you will be disappointed by what the PIXMA TS9150, Canon's flagship printer, has to offer. While it's certainly more expensive than some of the cheap two in one printers you can pick up, it's not a bad price for something which produces high quality prints, especially if you only need to print at A4 or below. Best of all, the print quality here is stunning, and it also has an attractive design. While the looks of your printer may not seem that important, it does mean you don't feel the need to try and hide it away out of sight if you're using it at home. We've come to expect simple setup and operation from Envy printers, and the HP Envy 5540 All-in-One is no exception. It's quiet, packs in a lot of features and delivers excellent print quality, especially on photo paper. We particularly like the ability to use smartphones as well as computers, and to connect wirelessly without a router. This makes it a versatile photo printer that's not too flashy, but does the job well. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Full images of all three Galaxy S10 phones leak, complete with cases Posted: 20 Jan 2019 06:30 AM PST Here's looking at you, Samsung Galaxy S10 models: we've got newly leaked pictures of all three handsets heading our way next month, complete with cases attached. We also have confirmation that the names will be the S10E, the S10, and the S10 Plus. The pictures come courtesy of well-known tipster Evan Blass, so we can be pretty sure these are the genuine article. Unfortunately the casing hides a lot of the design of the phone, but you can see the camera arrays on the back of the devices – the S10E has a dual-lens camera, while the premium handsets have a triple-lens snapper. On the front of the phones, the pinhole notch is in evidence up in the top right-hand corner of the display. It looks like the Galaxy S10 Plus is going to feature a dual-lens front-facing camera, as you can see from the wider cut out in the screen. Samsung's S10 line (credit: Evan Blass) So, from left to right, here are the Galaxy S10E, the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus from Samsung. Thanks to press invites sent out for the Unpacked launch event, we know we'll be seeing these phones in full on Wednesday February 20. The pictures would also seem to confirm these phones will have fingerprint sensors built into the display rather than around the back. The usual internal upgrades are on the cards as well, with new Exynos 9820 and Snapdragon 855 chips set to ensure the 2019 Galaxy phones comfortably beat the 2018 Galaxy phones in terms of benchmarks. With so much information on these phones appearing ahead of time, there's not much left for Samsung to surprise us with on February 20. We might also see the long-rumored foldable Galaxy phone appear at the same event – fingers crossed. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| This might be your last chance to get an iPhone SE direct from Apple Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:30 AM PST If you were saddened by Apple quietly killing off the iPhone SE last September, we've got some good news for you: the smallest, cheapest iPhone is back on sale in the clearance section of Apple's website, though for now this seems to be a US-only offer. MacRumors spotted the deal, giving you the chance to bag a brand new, unlocked iPhone SE for $249 (with 32GB of storage) or $299 (with 128GB of storage) – that's $100-$150 off the original pricing. As before, your choice of colors are silver, space gray, gold and rose gold. If you're tempted, head in the direction of the Apple website. We wouldn't expect stock to last for long, as this seems to be nothing more than Apple getting rid of some spare units. If you miss out and still want to get your hands on one of these phones, you'll have to explore other options (such as eBay). A good runThe iPhone SE was first launched back in March 2016, so it had a good two-and-a-half years on sale before being pulled. With its 4-inch screen and (for the time) speedy internal components, it was a popular option for those who didn't like the larger displays on the newer iPhones. It was also a lot cheaper than the flagship iPhones of course. That "Special Edition" label was a big hint that this compact iPhone wouldn't be a long-term proposition for Apple though. Despite some occasional rumors that an iPhone SE 2 would eventually see the light of day, that hasn't happened. For now Apple seems committed to putting out iPhones that are big and bezel-free. Never say never though: with a tough sales environment to contend with, Apple might one day revisit the idea of a smaller, cheaper handset that might appeal to the masses more than the top-end iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

| Speed limits get the green light on Google Maps Posted: 20 Jan 2019 12:40 AM PST Updated: it looks like the speed limits feature is now appearing more widely across Google Maps for all Android and iOS users, in countries including the US and the UK. Our original story is below. Google has begun rolling out speed limits for Google Maps throughout the US. The company began testing the feature in 2017, but it was restricted just two areas: the California Bay Area and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Now, Android Police has received tips from Maps users scattered throughout the US (including Los Angeles, New York City and Minnesota) who have begun seeing speed limits as a small tile on the bottom left of the map. As Android Police notes, the app itself hasn't received an update recently, so the change has happened on Google's servers. Therefore, although all the reports so far have been from Android users, iPhone owners are likely to start seeing speed warnings as well. In the slow laneIt's a surprise it's taken so long for Google to add speed limits to Maps, considering it already has the data, and brought the feature to Waze in 2016. The new addition will make Maps a more realistic competitor to navigation apps and standalone GPS systems from the likes of Garmin and TomTom. If you find you still don't have access to speed notifications next time you buckle up and plan a route, there are alternatives available. Velociraptor is a good choice in the US; it offers a free service that uses data from OpenStreetMap, and a premium tier that pulls its info from TomTom.
