Future Samsung flagship phones may be badly affected after Samsung announced that it will be closing its custom CPU division. The division was responsible for developing the Mongoose cores used in the SoCs found in flagship devices such as Galaxy S10 or the Note 10 Plus. This means that a group of around 300 will be let go by end of December. “Based upon a thorough assessment of our System LSI business and the need to stay competitive in the global market, Samsung has decided to transition part of our U.S.-based R&D teams in Austin and San Jose,” the statement said.

The tablet market is not as competitive as it used to be in the past and we are not getting a feel of commitment from tech companies to make them even better as we do on flagship phones or phones in general. Pro tablet models are the few ones which have been making tremendous progress and it seems like Huawei has dived right into it with a rumoured Pro slate of its own. Images of the Huawei tablet have been posted by 91mobiles. The images apparently show this new tablet, along with a magnetic keyboard case and stylus. It’s believed…

Instagram originally added support for iOS’s app shortcut equivalent with the launch of 3D Touch on the iPhone 6S in 2015. Now, hot on the heels of dark mode support for Android 10, it seems some people may also be getting app shortcuts. Just like the current…
WhatsApp updates have given us a few new features this year, including better Google Assistant support and fingerprint authentication. Whatsapp is now working on disappearing messages which is a Snapchat inspired feature. This feature according to WABetaInfo will be available for group chats but private chats might be getting it later as well. The screenshots suggest that WhatsApp’s disappearing messages functionality takes an all-or-nothing approach. That is, either all messages in the chat disappear or none of them. In other words, it doesn’t seem like you can send just one disappearing message to someone. The user can mark the chat as “disappeared” enabling…
