Photo battle between the iPhone XS and Android flagships might surprise you
Over the past few years, the gap between the iPhone and Android flagships has narrowed considerably. Whereas Android manufacturers used to scramble to copy any and every feature introduced by new iPhone models, the dynamic today has shifted quite a bit. These days, some Android devices boast features that are so compelling that it leaves Apple in the unfamiliar position of playing catch-up.
As a prime example, the ability for devices like the Google Pixel and the Huawei P30 Pro to capture photos in extremely low-light environments unequivocally puts the iPhone to shame. The P30 Pro in particular is so adept at capturing detail in dark environments that it seemingly borders on magic.

Brand new Pixel 4 leak seems to confirm the phone’s main specs
We have about six months to wait until Google launches its next-gen Android handsets, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been treated to a bunch of Pixel 4 leaks so far. The alleged design of the Pixel 4 was already spotted in a patent application, and plenty of concept images have tried to imagine what Google will do next with the Pixel line. On top of that, even Googlers referred to the phone as the “Pixel 4” on forums that others can easily inspect, suggesting that prototypes of the device are already out in the wild. A brand new leak gives us a new instrument we can use to look for Pixel 4 traces while we wait for Google to release the phone, the purported codenames of the phones.

New leak says Samsung will launch two distinct Galaxy Note 10 phones this year
A series of leaks claimed in the past few weeks that Samsung would launch not one, but two Galaxy Note 10 devices, something the company hasn’t really done with the Note line, except for the year when it used the Note series to launch an “edge” screen model. Since then, we heard that Samsung would have four Note 10 in stores this summer, including two LTE and two 5G devices. A new report seems to confirm that Samsung will launch two distinct Galaxy Note 10 versions this year and that each of them will have a 5G version.

Dead alligator is devoured by giant ‘pill bugs’ on the sea floor in creepy video
When an animal dies in a forest or field its body usually becomes food for scavengers large and small. Sometimes that includes larger animals like vultures or wild dogs, but it’s usually insects that are left to clean up the last bits of tissue. The bottom of the sea is no different and, as a new video from the Gulf of Mexico reveals, there’s always something waiting for a free meal.
Scientists from LUMCON were studying the effects of “food falls” in the sea, providing marine scavengers with a feast by dropping dead alligators into the Gulf and then observing the results. The video they captured is equal parts science and nightmare fuel.

It’s not quite Wall-E, but MIT’s recycling robot can detect paper, plastic, and metal by touch
Automating recycling seems like the smart thing to do when considering the incredible amount of waste we humans produce every year. But robots can’t easily tell materials apart just by looking at them with the help of cameras. That’s why sifting through piles of recycled material that can include paper, plastic, and metal is often a laborious task for machines.
But MIT’s RoCycle robot concept can tell paper from plastic and metal and dispose of the objects fed to it accordingly. The robot does all of this without cameras, but rather the help of sensors embedded in hands-like arms — akin to human touch, one might say.

Why didn’t scientists photograph the black hole at the center of the Milky Way?
After years of work and a whole lot of hype, researchers working with the Event Horizon Telescope project finally unveiled the very first image ever captured of an actual black hole this week. The relatively low-res image was nonetheless fantastic, and the fact that scientists were able to capture an image of the black hole from a distance of approximately 55 million light-years away is absolutely mind-boggling.
But wait, we live in the Milky Way galaxy, and at the center of it is what scientist believe is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. Our galaxy is only around 150,000 to 200,000 light years across, so wouldn’t it have been a whole lot easier to just photograph our own black hole instead?

New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ teaser shows that the survivors will split into teams
At this point, most of us don’t need any convincing to buy a ticket for Avengers: Endgame on opening weekend (as the early ticket sales have shown), but that hasn’t stopped Marvel Studios from tantalizing us with new footage every few days. On Thursday, Marvel released yet another TV spot on its YouTube channel, but unlike the other 30-second spots, this one actually had some new footage as well as some plot details.
The part of the teaser we’re most interested in comes at the beginning — a line of dialogue in which Captain America says to the surviving Avengers: “You know your teams. You know your missions.” This is the first we’re hearing about teams, but it sounds like the heroes who survived the snap are splitting up in Endgame.
