Hot on the heels of Oppo’s 125W Flash Charging, Qualcomm has lifted the lid on Quick Charge 5. Qualcomm’s latest charging solution offers support for 100W of power and above, as well as backward compatibility with older Quick Charge versions and USB Power Delivery, including the PPS variant. Besides USB Power Delivery, Qualcomm’s Quick Charge is the only other widely supported charging standard, meaning we’ll likely see Quick Charge 5 inside a number of future smartphones from several manufacturers.

Samsung refreshed the Galaxy A series of smartphones late last year, and as was the case with the original line, the lineup covers a variety of smartphones across the size, specifications, and price spectrum. Starting with the Galaxy S6, Samsung certainly seems to have found its path with regards to design and build quality, wand these carriers over to the the mid-range Galaxy A line, which all feature premium metal and glass unibody constructions.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra had arguably the best camera specs on paper in 2020, featuring a 108MP main camera and a 48MP 4x periscope camera. In fact, Samsung touted a 100x “Space Zoom” feature on the device, claiming 100x zoom. Now, frequent leaker Ice Universe has tweeted that the Galaxy Note 20 series won’t offer this feature.

It’s a mostly solid performer with great battery life, build quality, and a robust display – just wait for it to go on sale.

TL;DR Some Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus units are experiencing serious screen issues. The screen on affected phones turns green and/or white, effectively rendering the devices unusable. Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series was one of the most feature-packed phone families of last year, and these devices are still pretty great today. Unfortunately, it seems like some owners are reporting a major screen defect. Some Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus owners have taken to Samsung’s support forum, Reddit, and other platforms to complain of screen flickering that eventually results in the entire screen turning green and/or white (h/t: Android Police).

By now, we’ve all gotten a look at the Galaxy Note 8. The latest and greatest from Samsung has some of the best specs out there, cool new software features, and an improved S Pen. Samsung added 50% more RAM to help apps launch faster, while the dual camera setup adds a 2x zoom that seems to be all the rage on today’s devices. We knew it would be expensive, but$929 for an unlocked unit is a lot.
